    He's living in gratitude, and I love when people's dreams come to fruition
  • @georgee6303
    The way he welcomes and includes his disabled fans, fans that are deaf, or in wheelchairs is amazing to me. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him respond that way to his fans.
  • Having only seen him in shorts and on stage, I never would've thought he was such a genuine and honest person. LOVE to see it. Absolutely the kind of person that the entertainment industry needs. I hope it doesn't break him.
  • He's so humble and well spoken in this interview. I love that he doesnt crack jokes all the time just bc he's a comedian.
  • @ChildBrunswik3
    Couldn’t think of anyone else who deserves this more, major props. Really hope to see Troy bond and Jeff Arcuri on next!
  • @plaidmustache

    I love how attentive and excited Matt is when Jimmy’s talking. You can tell he’s genuinely so grateful to be where he is. I’m seeing him next March. MEET&GREET! I’m so excited. Matt Rife is going to be a household name in comedy in a few years.
  • What an utterly delightful guy. So smart and well spoken! I predict he will get a late night show himself one day!

    Found Matt Rife while I was home struggling with severe depression browsing through videos. Nothing would crack even the slightest smile on my face, not even my favorite show Seinfeld 😢.. this guy is genuinely a great comedian, he made me laugh after months of not being able to ❤ so glad you finally got the recognition you deserve 😊
  • @mohammedmusa3031
    Man he's so humble and down to earth, I'm really happy he made it this far.
  • @unfiltered8407
    Its crazy seeing Matt get a glow up AND become this huge of a comedy celebrity after watching him on Wild&Out for YEARS. Damn! Congrats dude.
  • @joyrowland3265
    He is rambling and so excited/nervous to be on the show with Jimmy LOL Hard work pays off!
  • @OrangeCountySoda
    I am beyond thrilled for Matt. I saw his first TikTok viral video and have been a huge fan ever since. I kept telling my husband “this kid is going places and he’s gonna blow up!” He’s such a genuine good guy. I wish him the very best!
  • @ScarlettJ1221
    I've been a fan of his since Wild n Out, Matt is freakin hilarious

    I love how genuine his gratitude is, just beautiful inside and out 😊
  • @Phantom-Signal
    This guy is amazing. He jumped off the stage to give me a Selfie with him, then, this man went over and gave a huge hug to another lady who was also in a wheelchair. Absolutely fantastic night. Matt, when you return to London Ontario Canada, I will be there. What an amazing and caring young man. Cheers.
