Mr Samuels has done more for the Diaspora then we can imagine. The laughter and connection with our heritage have been much needed medicine for our souls and well being. Thank you Oliver! 🖤💛💚
Yendi Your interviews are like an interesting dinner party. I am so well fed after each one, I usually have a glass of wine to complete the meal. Keep up the great work. Love Oliver and love you.
Oliver Samuels is a national treasure, and I cannot help but to the smile from ear to ear, as he pontificates in the Jamaican vernacular. What a genuinely warm person, and an individual who loves life and love others. Thank you Oliver for your contribution to the Jamaican language, our art form, and our culture.
This stalwart has not aged! He looks the sameeee since I was a childdd😍😍 I love Oliver Samuels🥳🥳
Oliver's humility should definitely be commended❗
Cuz mi come find yuh over here too lol
@@terr3tme aaaaaawwww🤗. Great minds think alike and are interested in great things😊
This interview cemented why he and Miss Lou (2 icons) are champions for Patois as our 1st language and English as a 2nd- and the power and necessity of story telling - Highgate 😃
He tells the stories like he’s on stage 😂😂 I’m dying 😩 such a grandpa 🥺🥺❤️ “mi affi tek mi time thaw out”
I love your interviewing techniques Yendi , you allowed Oliver to finish all his points before saying anything.
I admired that too...very professional.
5 words. -Authentic, hilarious, humble, generous, JAMAICAN
Great interview Yendi. Oliver is a legend
This man is a Jamaica treasure!

Yoo the energy from his era of people from Jamaica is golden. Reminds me of my grand parents, unfiltered and pure Jamaican 🇯🇲
The man himself I can't tell you how much I love this man ❤
I feel like am watching a play 🥰😍🥰 someone should help him to start his UA-cam channel.
So true
@Shevaughn Wright there’s a show on Thanksgiving weekend on Jamaica online tv
Definitely!!!
Love the little game in the end Yendz goes to show Oliver's natural talent... Another great interview where 2 joyful hearts meet to spread happiness.
Big up to you Yendi for another masterpiece. I enjoy his work up to this day.
I love what you are doing with our local gems. They paved they way for so many, and their legacy will live on forever. Great interview Yendi. Love how down to earth you are.
Happy New Day filled with much love and respect to you both especially Mr Samuels. He said something that resonated with me which is he never knew they were poor. I grew up with my grandparents and 11children including uncles and aunts. Happy as a child not wanting . Then one aunt came foreign and stayed at my home and reminiscing this is when she told me we were not that well off to which astonished me because we never cried saying we are hungry. There was always three meal daily top with all the fruits that were in season and we had every fruit tree on the land. Too much to mention. Mr Samuels than you for your gifted contributions, filled with laughter. You are well loved our brother. As long as you are gifted with life all the best Mr funny man 😍😍😍 Jah love and blessings. Thank you Yendi. Blessings, love and light.
A me alone laugh just looking at O.S?
Man never look different!❤️
It's impossible for me to see and hear Oliver a talk and not smile, all when him nah tell joke him still funny lol.
NO EXAGGERATION
1yr old inna crib baby bottle cornmeal porridge still ah watch till now 32yr old
😂😂😂😂😂🤪so true
He has aged well too
@@hillarynewman8220 I know!!
His facial expression alone gets me cracking .. he and Maffie are the ideal duo
He is my favourite comedian of all time and I saw this and showed my husband who surprised me by telling me about an altercation where a firearm holder nearly hit down his ex and shook her up (she was ill at the time) he cussed the man who came at him and Oliver was driving pass and came to his rescue. Oliver is speaking only truth. Looove and respect you Sir. Great interview Yendie.
Giving the children of jamaicans spread across the diaspora a rare glimpse of where their coming from, was both timely and a priceless gift. Oliver mastered his endeavour to do just that. Absolutely beautiful interview . Thank you both
2 years ago I wrote and read a poem in honor of Ms. Leonie Forbes on a stage where Oliver was the host. The People Profile Awards ceremony in Miami. Boy I don't get star struck but mi glad bag did well buss. I grew up watching this man in Jamaica. So it felt quite surreal sharing a stage with such a legend. 🙏🏿
I always laugh just seeing Oliver even when he's not being comedic. Enjoyed this interview Yendi.
Oliver is naturally,funny even when he is not acting I feel like am watching a play
Love, love, love this interview Yendi ❤️! Laughter can’t done yet so profound #stalwartandthebeauty
My childhood flashed before me.🎶 "Oliver yuh large oh! Oliver yuh large! Oliver yuh large oh! Oliver yuh large! Me say yuh wicked and yuh wild oh! Oliver yuh large! And you well versatile oh! Oliver yuh large! 🎶

😂😂😂😂 Hollywood FL. Oliver look good enuh. I still watch Oliver at large. He is undeniably the best at what he does. Olive is pure joy.❤❤Thx Yendie for another awesome interview 👏
God has blessed him so much he has aged gracefully love him so much respect to the big man
A co worker was in a class with him at UWI and told me that everyday they would jus laugh whe he talked. Then some days he would say mi nah laugh and get serious. My friend said the entire class would be rolling!😅🙂
Lolol
Once he called me up as a part of the interaction with audience a nearly fainted with embarrassment but it was just good entertainment he is the best love him
If Oliver had been my Father, I would o get nuff lick. His 'serious face' is so hilarious. I would o buss out a laugh each time
It’s so unfortunate he didn’t benefit more financially from Oliver at large. Business knowledge is so important for these artists.
Aaaaaaaa trueeeee this system though.
That show could not have made a lot of money in Jamaica. The Jamaican population is just too small, and it would have been hard to sell his show in large economies, because of the patois "language." You hit a note, because Yandi is not a humble person. She in no way blessed with humility.
Black man Redman
Would have Much better as.you Know
No more. PLAYING
STUPITY
Yes
@@decijohn6855 why include that barb about Yendi in your comment? It doesn't even correlate to the comment you responded to. Lawd God! 🙄
He's such a beautiful soul that fills with humility.. Decent human he is ❤😂😂
Oliver plays are so good that even though you watch them before.....you keep rewatching them.Can definitely remember grandma(God rest her soul) use to rush us for the TV a Saturday night to watch Oliver at large.Good times when things were simplier♥️🙌🏾
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Another episode I love, always a pleasure to listen to Oliver. Well done Yendi! For bringing us precious priceless memories and stories❤🙏
I’m now 23 and this man still makes me laugh and cry #LEGEND 😂😂😂
A tru Oliver the whole Jamaica itself a theatre. Jamaicans just love laugh and give joke.
And every jamaican tell a story with tje same kind of rythym olivet talk wid

Oliver Samuel one of Jamaica best. He brought back so many good memories for me as a child growing up in JA. Who could ever watch one of his shows and don’t laugh. But I never know Oliver had biological children this is news to me. Mr Samuel you will never be forgotten you will always and forever be one with the history of Jamaica. Respect, respect and more respect. Well done again Yendi 👌👏☝️

@@YendiPhillipps1 assalamualaikum can u at least comment in one of my video.
Great interview. I can attest to Oliver's kindness, i had a few stuff to send to Jamaica for my daughter and son, and my friend Audrey Reid, who is Oliver's working partner asked him to take the stuff for me, and he did.
Really, really appreciated it. Thanks again Oliver, and my lovely friend Audrey.
I live in America and I am ecstatic right now watching this interview. Olivier Samuels is a Jamaican icon. I am honored to hear his story. Thank you Yendi for remembering one of our living legend.
Thank u so much Ms. Wendi Phillips for having Mr. Samuels on ur show! It's a blessing!
