It may have been one TikTok video that made him an overnight sensation, but comedian Matt Rife had been part of the industry for over a decade when his video went viral. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, he recalled being on the verge of quitting when one “reluctantly” posted video changed his life forever—now, he has a Netflix special to his name, and is among the most admired comedians of this day.
He recalled being encouraged to take the stage by his father, but after working in the comedy business for 11 years, he continued to face rejection. “All of these things just weren’t adding up, and at a certain point you go, am I delusional? Maybe I’m not funny. Maybe I’m not supposed to do this,” Rife said. “And then just one random video kind of changed everything.”
