We wanted to know if he was reining in his biting, no-holds-barred humour.
The W5 team arrived at Peters’ sprawling contemporary 8,000 square foot home in L.A.'s San Bernardino Valley. We set up on the main floor in a room jam-packed with Peters' memorabilia next to an open-tread steel and wooden double staircase that ascends to the upper floor against a wall of glass.Peters’ wife Ali, who he married in February 2022, greeted us warmly. While waiting for her husband to show up, she casually sat on the staircase and chatted about the home’s architecture.
A roar of a sports car pulling into the driveway signalled the arrival of the man-of-the-hour who entered the house and breezed past us to chat with friends and family. The interview was quintessential Peters, engaging, energetic and unapologetic."We are free thinkers. The minute you try to put reins on our brains, you ruin the game."
One of the best !
Free speech means you might be offended. If you don't like it then don't listen or read it.
Russell Peters and all of the other comedians are correct.
Conservatives find punching down as comedy.
Oh no. He's been cancelled and it made him all butthurt.... Anyways.
Political Correctness offends me.
Love Him. He is 100% correct. It’s what millions of ya believe
🖕political correctness (liberalism)
He's so funny super talented guy. Normal dude with a backbone.
Obviously running out of material.
...what a rebel...
Sure
I wish comedians today would spend less time whining about 'cancel culture' and more time telling jokes
If he's mocking cancel culture and political correctness, I'll surely watch him. If he mocks wokeism, I'll vote for him.
Well you framed it like he desperately wants to be a bigot, ctv, and didn’t even deliver what he actually said. Did you do the man dirty or does he miss the good ol days when he could use slurs and everyone would laugh and laugh
All Comedy is in dire danger & it’s just the beginning. 😬😰
Liberals now hate Russell Peters in 3, 2, 1...
Who cares?
For a woke News Network like CTV this should be interesting.
If I ever had a clue or care to W5 this would maybe be it… but it’s on crappy CTV (would be worse if it was on CBC) so will be missing it.
Based take.
You mean attempted to kill stand-up comedy.
Sounds like a pretty level headed guy, who doesn't have his head shoved up his, or someone else's butt. He's the same guy he's always been.
Russell Peters !? 💤😴
Enough is enough with this guy.
Great seeing Sandie Rinaldo's interview skills being put to use because she is still one of the best in the game. During the drama/outrage of Laflamme's firing with excuses about her grey hair, age and gender being the cause I chuckled thinking about 73 year old Sandie Rinaldo
Well done.
Meh. Only thing he can do is pick out people from the crowd and ask them where they're from and then make fun of that ethnicity. Nothing funny about that
Comedians..like Russell is the stepping stone to wokeness...gently pushing Society to reflect on themselves
Comedians..like Russell is the stepping stone to wokeness...assisting Society reflect on themselves
I don’t really care for his comedy but I applaud him for not bending the knee to the pitchfork mob. You have the right to be offended by comedy, but that’s where your rights end.
Is the joke the hat he's wearing?
sorry for you CTV that you tried to get a 'Canadian' comic (i use the term loosley) for the interview and he was a COLOSSAL douche ! What an arrogant prick ! russel peters ur a looser !
Humor is something all Leftists lack
I thought he had perished
Oh lookit all the SJW’s chime in. Stay mad, nutters, stay mad.
I pray someone can open your eyes. MEDIA. Know what we need? MORE PEOPLE with CO2. LOOK UP GREG BRADEN and know you are the last to know.
Why isn’t doing a comedy special instead of talking to a garbage institution like CTV? Can’t he do what Rock or Chappell are doing?
🖕 political correctness (liberalism)
I dont find him funny
When you can’t be clever to get a laugh, just be politically incorrect. (at least you will get headlines with CTV)
I'm old enough to remember when comedians were funny, and not so gd whiney.
Have ANY comedians been 'cancelled' for the jokes they make?
Liberals want your kids.
Freeland and John Tory supporting Nazis. Nothing to see here.
Scum. At least Zelenskye got 100s of millions of our tax money. New Rolls-Royce is nice
Ukrainan Nazis making kids hide in fear since 2014
Trudeau's goals for Canadians uh
Bombed kids from Ukraine 2014 with Chrystia Freeland help
Racist Liberals
Liberal kids
Ukrainian Kids
lol trying to stay relevant by going on CTV news LOL
There are too many overly-sensitive leftist snowflakes today, that can't handle jokes. The phoney MSM doesn't help either.
Best comedian ever lol
This guy stopped being funny like 20 years ago.
Oh look another mediocre comedian complaining about “political correctness and cancel culture” Fucking pathetic
Comedians are the canary in the coal mine of liberal society. All y’all calling to silence comedians are deeply illiberal neo-fascists.
You can only cancel white ppl. Yet we’re told we’re in charge
That's the funniest thing Russell Peter's has said in about two decades now...
The real story should be how media and politician in the US have weaponized certain terms in order to create a divide necessary to weaken democracy and how now Canadian media and politicians have jumped on the bandwagon. But okay.. we'll go with this.
First and foremost Classism needs to freaking die! It will literally be the downfall of humanity
More top shelf journalism from
100+ years ago, touring vaudeville shows fell out of popularity, because of the rise of radio, and later TV. In response, some comedians adapted to the new audience and the new market. Their careers thrived. The ones who didn’t adapt, are forgotten. Sound familiar?
Awesome everyone is fighting back for this bullshit
Good thing, he’s not white!
I like his free provocative style. Keep it coming. You are the best.
Oh it's the guy that makes fun of different races of people for grade 1s to understand 🙄
I don't know who this guy is LMFAO
Didn’t even know he was still around.
I'm not sure why people don't understand evolving. Humans should grow & improve...we know better now. Consequences always existed. it's just that social media makes those consequences far reaching.
Only non whites can make racist jokes.
He's right. That's why moderates and undecided voters have turned their backs on the woke agenda of the left.
Watched his stuff and never found it funny. Like never. How did he ever make it?
He had one joke 20 years ago. Over those twenty years that joke has not aged well.
We've lost the ability to laugh at ourselves and each other. Really really sad.
He’s a one trick pony. He was funny before but not any more
He's a professional racist but gets a free pass because he's Indian.
In other words, he’s run out of original material and is upset that he can’t take the lazy way out and punch down.
Liberals triggered. Surprised?
That’s why nobody goes to his shows
Old man becomes more belligerent with age, breaking news
Wow this is bad I was a fan
Washed out irrelevant ex-star . Used to love him, he later became arrogant and his creativity ran out
🖕 political correctness
alot have gone down this path untill money goes down then they get quiet quickly
He’s not funny …at all
I remember the days when Russell would come over to mad bar and DJ for fun.
He had his time i guess he realized he’s not that good at comedy finally
He isn’t cancelled, he’s boring and repetitive. Big difference.
He shouldn't. Nobody should. It's all a charade anyway.
Well, he’s not funny, so…
I always thought him to be a funny guy… shame the world has gone mad 🤷♀️
He's still around?
Then he's not being funny, just vindictive
