0:58 I love how he says hello to you and your camera before continuing

I love how he addressed the lady from France. That was a masterclass in cultural sensitivity.
For those of you who don't speak French, he explained to her that he appreciates, enjoys, and respects French culture very much and, so, couldn't play an Englishman on stage. He also apologized to her in a funny, but genuine, way for using what amounts to a caricature of her culture. And he did it all in her mothertongue. You can tell he speaks primarily English in his daily life, but he was speaking perfectly understandable Continental French.
I say he taught a masterclass there because while the French aren't typically discriminated against, that lady was far from home and is about to watch an American comedy performer don a cringy and overdone stereotype of her own culture. Instead of just going ahead with it he explains that he loves French culture while proving it, as he's put the time in to learn the language, gets a laugh with the equivalent of saying "I'm...I'm sorry about all of this!" and then got back on stage and made a fantastic joke in English about the show being over because a French person is here!
That warmed my heart. In a short video he recently posted on his Instagram he said that he's cognizant of what a person who looks like him using a whip can evoke for people, and he tries to subtly indicate that everyone is welcome at his shows. That short conversation shows he walks his talk, and not subtly either!

I have no idea he actually spoke French and that fluently that was kind of amazing

Watching him suddenly realize that he can’t do “Get Low” around kids is PRICELESS.

Probably the strangest and most rare talents in the world. Yet he's crazy talented and should be in the Guinness book for it.

Il a dit : " je pense que tu comprends que je ne suis pas vraiment français oui ? c'est juste un personnage pour les Américains qui ne savent pas que les français ne disent pas oui oui ou honhon JE SAIS ÇA oui et aussi j'aime beaucoup la culture française je veux pas jouer un personnage Anglais eurgh alors x3 désolé pour moi désolé pour ce spectacle ( little mistake here "cette spectacle" isn't the right term 😆) désolé pour cette blague ouais , merci 👍
