What a sweet kid.
Came here to say the same thing. I have nightmares about living up to being “smart” and kids like this make my heart glow.
Right? Very much so!
Why is he alive ?
One Time, One Night
In America
❤
Bring your kids up in such a wonderful way that no one can toxify them. All the best Bruhat.
if you were a parent, you'd realize that is not always how it works, sadly.
@@morbidmanmusicI believe it was implied
Bruhat’s parents certainly did that! Great job to all of them! ❤
As a Canadian born East Indian with the same softness as Bruhat, I can attest that certain white people will prey on that as Jimmy joked, trying to ruin him. Stay Strong
@@andrewvarghese8529 I like white Parenting.. It's more Organic. Like birds kick out their babies after they are grown enough to fly .
The country definitely needs more kids like Bruhat; smart and kind.
That's for SURE
The fact he's willing to donate his $50k prize money to charity makes him the winner of any contest! What a cool kid!👍🏻
I agree👍👍👍He’s most likely will get dozens of full ride scholarships from every University he applies to!
Or may be on dependent visa and cant keep money
Me and him goes to the same school which is tbk8 in Florida and when he came back to school they were so happy for him. All of 7th grade in Spanish class after he did all his work he studied words in his dictionary and I'm glad he won.
Bruhat is so gracious… you’re so wonderful, also very gracious to be on this segment x
Respect, my love ❤
That face on the drums captured Bruhat! Great things in store for this kind, kind, SMART! kid! Way to go, Mom & Dad!
What a sweet kid & good sport Bruhat is! Love that he was gifted that drumset w/his photo on it; just wish we could have heard him play a little!
I think part of his charm is he knows who he is, and he just wants to be himself and not show off. It looked like he didn't want to play while Jimmy was talking.
He would remember it as one of his worst but hilarious nightmares, I guess
Bruhat, enjoy your new drum set! You earned them! 🎉❤
To the parents of Bruhat, great job!!! That kid has a wonderful future ahead. We will be watching for him. 🥰
What a nice boy! Giving away his 50k price money to charity - and so humble. He really deserves that drum set! If we were all like him, the world would be a a way better place! 👍
gives away 50.000 and gets a $600 dollar set.. but he is a great kid
True act of charity are anonymous.
It takes money to be charitable.
It would be great if Jimmy gives the same amount to the same charity.
@@dyops what would be GREAT is no charity necessary. The rest is smoke and mirrors.
@@rohieram724 You're right. It should be prize. Googled it, cuz English is not my first language. But now I know! Thx!
You Go, Bruhat ❤❤❤
You won the sportsmanship award, Bruhat!
Nobody can slaughter the English language like Guillermo.
Except for Yaya!
Nobody 😄
...and my dad
😂😂😂😂
Have we all forgotten Dan Quayle?
How in the world Jimmy got "Valhalla" and "vicissitude" from Guillermo's "expert pronunciation"?? It was miraculous!
He already knew. It was scripted
I'm not sure Guillermo could spell his own name.
@@freddiemontanez8461 I actually doubt it was scripted. I think he just talks to Guillermo SO MUCH that he knows how Guillermo mispronounces things, like using B sounds for Vs.
Once you get that they're supposed to be Vs, those words become semi intelligible.
Bahala becomes Vahala, which is a short jump to Valhalla.
Beeseetootay becomes Veeseetootay, and then you break those sounds down and figure out how you'd spell them.
So Vicitute.
And if you know Guillermo says D sounds as T sounds, you can get Vicitude, which is closeish to Vicissitude.
If you speak Spanish you get it
@@freddiemontanez8461 Not scripted, that would ruin the bit. Jimmy has known Guillermo for like over 20years. He knows how he pronunciates words. lol The heart of the bit is Guillermo's heavy accent. Pronounces V's like B's😁
That young man was the best guest ever. What a great sense of humor. Thanks guys for giving him a great gift. He really deserves it.
I'm not getting everyone is actually appreciating this kid but he did not spell anything correctly
What a champ Bruhat is. He's going to go places in life, I'm sure of it.
good places hopefully & not greedy megacorporations
@@blackfalkon4189 I am confident that he's smart enough to make the right choices.
Bruhat is such a good sport, and Guillermo is hilarious as always.
Wut? Guillermo is possibly the least funny person in history. Not even a little bit funny on any level. He completely ruined this video like most he’s featured in.
he lost, of course he is a good sport!
Bruhat is amazingly graceful. He knew Guillermo was absolutely screwing him. Great kid
@@blackout07blue You missed the whole point! He is all about comic relief! His lack of education, and basic English, do not stop him from having fun, wherever he goes. Also, his ability to laugh at himself is what makes him so endearing and so special. FYI, this so called 'spelling bee' competition was never meant to be taken seriously. The words chosen are the type Guillermo had never heard of, nor used, and everyone knows that, and expect him to badly mess them up. His delivery is the highlight of this segment. BTW, having a sense of humor is good for you. You should try it sometimes!
Exactly right @@OfraSharon-Afir!!
That child is adorable and so precious, giving his winnings to charity. But mom's face when those drums came out, bahahahah!!!
lol 😂
Bruhat is such a kind and intelligent young man. Great job, mom and dad, for raising a productive member of society. Way to go to you as well, Bruhat, for all of your accomplishments.
This is the toughest spelling bee Bruhat has been. Guillermo is amazing with Spanglish.
G'mo blows
It gets a bit old when they use him as a clown every single show. Poor guy is just a prop
This is the toughest spelling bee in history.
@@RobertCrowell too bad that’s what most comedians use them for no offence
They shoulda given him more Czech words.
Bruhat and this comment section are restoring my faith in humanity
We need more kids like him and congratulations to his parents for theirr great work raising this amazing young man.
We need more people like Bruhat in this world.
What a sweet smart kid and such a great sport! Parents must be proud.
Donating his winning prize to charity! The kid deserves a Nobel peace prize.
That lad is such a good sport! Was lovely of the show to get him the drum set! The look on his face!
This kids parents win!! Great job, min & dad!! ❤️
Amazing young man. Such a respectful guy. A great sport and oh so smart.
Such an adorable kid and a great sport. You could see how excited he was getting the drum set. Him giving his spelling bee winnings to charity just shows what a big heart he has. I wish every kid could be like this one.
I was a bit thrown off by the drum set. I thought he said he played drums in band, which is a marching band. I got the impression Bruhat didn't know what to do with an actual rock n' roll drum set like that 😆 i could be wrong tho
I’m here from the Gambia 🇬🇲
Watching everyday and liking.
Today is my first time commenting 🙏
Welcome to America. 😄
Hi From Canada
I love the look on faces of Bhruhat's parents when they saw drums and realised what just happened. 😁😀
Expert Word Pronounciator 😂😂😂
That was such a sweet & LOL funny segment. Bruhat is a great sport and showed such admirable respect to everyone & held his own on that stage. I'm so happy that Jimmy & crew treated this adorable, smart, sweet young man to that well deserved drum set 🥁
Guillermo really is my favourite person!!!!!! Bruhat seems like a lovely boy - so sweet
Bruhat is so gracious… you’re so wonderful, 😄😄
Jimmy, that was nice of you Sir.
Best come back burn from Guillermo, that man steals the show XD
💯💯💯Guillermo's pronunciations can wake up the dead ironically 🤣😂😂
My grandma came back! She died in 2012. Thanks Guillermo!
@@magicofthestone 😂😂😂 happy for you
Guillermo's name is actually William, bur he can't pronounce that either. Bruhat was such a good sport and a kind soul, congrats to him for the and for the drum set!
😂
Bruhat definitely deserves praise and the drum set. It's good to see education and work rewarded.
That was magical, and I'm glad I saw the whole thing.
WHAT A GOOD KID YOU ARE BRUHAT!!! EVERY PARENT WISHES FOR A CHILD LIKE YOU!!! SO RESPECTFUL SMART AND PATIENT!!! ALL THE GOOD STUFF THE WORLD NEEDS IN OUR YOUTH! PLEASE TEACH OTHERS! !!
I'm so glad Bruhat received compensation for having to endure Guillermo! 😄
Hilarious, and done in such a way that did not make Bruhat feel bad. Many kudos to him. 😂😂
Reading through these comments is truly uplifting. Thank you!
This is the first time I had a good laugh.
In days, thank you, Jimmy Kimmel.❤
Incredible!!! How fantastic! He can do anything life going forward with that compassion.
This boy exudes so much charm and confidence. What a champ!
This kid is SUCH a good sport! Well done Bruhat! Hilarious!
Bruhat is so impressive and as a speller of the scripps national spelling bee in 2023 and 2024 i had the honor of meeting him and getting his autograph. Well done Bruhat.🎉
This is one fun humorous young kid. 🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
So fun on so many levels - love Guillermo! Great job Bruhat - you can spell circles around me! I hope your life is wonderful and that you are rewarded for your generosity!
That was AWESOME!! Congratulations Bruhat, keep up the great work!!
Guillermo is comedy lightning in a bottle I swear to god. Jimmy and his bromance is straight up legendary
Legend!!
I was caught up when I was 7 spelling “medicine”… but got so far!
Shows that you know the meaning of, the context.
Well Done - you are just amazing ❤
Hope this nice young man goes far. Such a good sport too!
Lovely, smart, kind kid. ❤
Bruhat. What fantastic, humble and charitable young man. Even as an educator and like Jimmy, "twice as old", I couldn't spell like he does. ❤🙏
What a great kid and giving the money to charity is very kind.
OMG! What a gracious young man, receiving such a gracious gift from Jimmy!
I ❤ the he drum set with Bruhat on the bass 🙌 😃👍
Kudos to Jimmy for his "intervention". Jimmy knows Guillermo well, so was able to decode his accent, leaving talented Bruhat at a disadvantage. I couldn't make heads or tails what words Guillermo was saying, either! 😉🤣
A very lovely kid. Thanks Jimmy. You are the best. God bless you and your family.
Jimmy is still creatively funny.😊
This was HILARIOUS!!!!!! Guillermo is the perfect foil for Jimmy, over and over 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Guillermo! 🤣
Mo' for our dyslexic friends.
I always love when smart kids getting spotlights!!! Congratulations!!!🎉
This is so much laughter in one place poor kid
I love that Bruhat contributed to the fun, even after it was clear that the fun was supposed to be the comedy of annihilating a 12 year old in the certainty that it would be a huge joke.. Still, Bruhat went right on clapping and laughing, glad to be there and clearly sure of his own worth. I love this kid. He's going to end up one of those rare people who contribute something worthwhile, and do it all with the happiness that he respects our human condition.
My family was at the National Bee and Bruhat was a gentleman the whole competition. His win is something to celebrate! Such a nice , hardworking kid!
I am Mexican living in Mexico, and Guillermo did an ex cell ente JOB LOL, he is the best!!
What a great man Jimmy Kimmel is. Love ❤️ him.
This kid is such a sweet heart. Such a good sense of humor and good sport
Yo nice ending with the drumset!
So much fun. Bruhat so charming and a good sport. Jimmy should employ him as an addition to the talented people who support him.
Great broadcast Jimmy😊thx for sharing...
That was hilarious! Gotta love Guillermo. And Bruhat is an amazing speller!
Poor Bruhat with these crazies! He’s such a great sport.😂! Bless his heart. A very awesome ending with that drum set! ❤
Luvd this so muchhhhh! Awesome Gift God Bless you all Jimmy, Guillermo nd Cousin.....❤....Bruhat is the Best 🎉🎉🎉
Cool gift for Bruhat!
Lots of love to you, Bruhat Soma! ❤
Omg this literally had me crying laughing 😂😂.
Just for that, Kimmel, you should match the $50K to his charity of choice. What a legend.
I love that Bruhat wants to donate his winnings, however I encourage his parents to donate a portion of it and put the rest in a college fund - even a college fund for less fortunate kids ❤
For all of us who were once in our county spelling bees in 7th and 8th grade, thank you for this!
Bruhat is a sweet, kind, and smart kid
Way to go, Mom & Dad!
Either Jimmy knows the words before hand or he has known Guillermo so long that he knows how to decipher his mispronunciations
Very common in Spanish, V’s become B’s
Because they have been working together over years, so they can comprehend each other.
Jimmy Kimmel, such an amazing & kind human ❤ what goes around comes around, Bruhat donating to charity !
I am incredibly proud of his win and playing along with the skit. I'm a bit of a grammar/spelling Noticer, so love words as well...I do write and took part in a few spelling bees in school. VERY happy Jimmy and the show marked his achievement with that specially made drums et. Super cool because he worked hard.
Bruhat was such a good sport to put up with you children. He showed such maturity when he tolerated your preschool level challenge!
This is the best Kimmel segment. Keep it as a yearly tradition!
Bruhat, your parents must be very proud of you; what a lovely young man. A credit to you parents, nation and schooling. (Do you play cricket ?).
Watching certain actual 'adults' now on the news behaving like children; it's great to see a young man behave so respectful and humble. Thanks Jimmy Kimmel & Bruhat. Thanks all the one judge and what a wonderful pro-pronouncer.
I CANT STOP LAUGHING omg someone make Guillermo a permanent judge in spelling bees
Nobody would win😂
So cool. That drumset is awesome!!! Very sweet of JKL!
God Bless this young man and grace him with many blessings
This was great. Guillermo is hilarious. All the best to Bruhat!!!
Guillermo is hilarious 😂😂
Very funny Kimmel when he tells Guillermo “haven’t you been in the US since you were a teenager “
“Can you say it slowly? Can you say it in English?” 😂😂😂😂
Guillermo is the star of this segment, well done bruhat and enjoy the drums!
Such a sweet and very smart boy!❤
BRUHAT!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!
