Jim Carrey Makes His First U.S. TV Appearance on "The Tonight Show" - 1983

[BassHeadsProduction]

he can make you laugh with no more than a frantic flailing of the limbs

[JuannabisRoach]

dude wtf ?!

[bailinnumberguy]

He's lucky he got another chance after this

[CusterFlux]

I think he was enjoying it more than the audience ... he's gotten much funnier now.

[zachstark0]

He is way better now.

[atomman45]

For his first us tv appearance he seemed very at home.

[JoosDogg]

wow....um.... lame

[GreenZeppelin52]

That was his Andy Kaufmann act.

[ret]

[dragosrmn]

[MsSandryne]

Goob monsieur Carrey

[shadowpines777]

jim carrey is an overpaid liberal just like the rest of hollywoodland loserville filled wih nothing but no talent this generation has nothing to provide but toilet humor

[MonacoPoker]

Jim Carrey is a Legend

[ROCKYBLUEDOGS]

He was doing Elvis in a funny way that's the joke.

[oganski]

@ROCKYBLUEDOGS thank you mr.obvious..I thought he was milking a cow in there..

[William141995]

Love Jim Carrey so fucking bad..

[woody8878]

miss piggy impression is brillant lol.

[modblogger1]

That Elvis impression was painful to watch

[Harrietmos]

Jim did the most awesome impression when he played Andy Kaufman in the movie, but this is absolutely nothing like the impersonation of Elvis that Andy did. Jim Carey is an unbelievably nimble physical performer. His comedy runs much more to Dick Van Dyke than the likes of Any Kaufman. Can you move your body like that? I can't. Haters to the left. I am still unsure if he almost started laughing because he amused himself, or because it was the character he played at the end, doing that. Complex

[davebo48]

love jim carry ! but , he took this from andy kauffman.

[Tadzikistan1]

Carrey is awesome but this is a horrible performance, utterly boring and pointless.......of course once he hit his stride he was unstoppable.

[LP0779]

They all get started somewhere...and often stumble coming off the blocks.

[hammad313]

Jim Carrey is god of comedy..

[thoriscool123]

i needed to stop the video because i laught to much xD!!!

[Fear08MX]

For his first t.v. appearance that's extreme.

[aborjacdavid]

MAN.

the part after this awful impression is a bunch of his BEST impressions. that's a shame.

[AbhiG]

Jim Carrey is literally insane. But thats why we love him. For all the critics, they should watch the rest of the standup act, It is Hilarious :-)

[Derby14]

I don't get it at all...a bad Elvis immitation? Is that why it's funny? Appears to be WAY to existential for me or the average Tonight Show viewer. Was this the performance he and Johnny discussed in later years where they talked about Carrey not being invited over to the couch? Not hard to see why...at all.

[masterdeviance1985]

Painful

[AGENTARMES]

That hurt.

[grantwe]

Painful.

[maymyers]

Man, that was horrible.

[echelonexcursions]
