Best line EVER, "I'm just glad you haven't started a cult!!!" Lol 😅
Dude, I'll be honest, I played the video because of Josh but totally stayed for Asi! He's awesome! I hope I get to see one of his shows! How awesome! I really enjoyed this!
Josh, thank you for being so present & engaged for all of us.
Sincerity is something we're sorely missing in our society.
I like how Josh is actually interviewing him and listening and not constantly trying to make jokes. Sometimes I feel like some of the other hosts feel too much pressure to be funny with the guests to the point it can almost come off as a bit rude and dismissive. I like this approach better
Josh freaked out so much he forgot he was hosting!👏👏👏
Watching Josh Johnson be more than a little afraid at magic is one of the most genuine things I have seen on any late night show❤🎉
For those that don't know, Asi Wind is a humble legend among magicians. He's designed tricks for many well-known magicians and is a really great, logical, down-to-earth and funny guy. He's a magician's magician, as they say.
Love this guest's humility ... "I'm just naturally not cool ..." ❤❤❤❤ From Tucson AZ
Thank you Josh, for having this breath of fresh air on as your interviewee. 😊
