by There’s an age-old saying: “It takes more muscles to frown than to smile.” Whether this is scientifically accurate or not, Michael Bublé seems to have taken this adage to heart. While most of the world knows Bublé for his velvety voice that can melt hearts, those who’ve followed him closely will agree that he’s equally adept at making those same hearts burst into laughter.
Hosting the Juno Awards 2014
Let’s take a walk down memory lane to 2014. The Juno Awards, which recognizes Canadian music accomplishments, was held with great pomp and splendor. But this year was extra special. Why? Michael Bublé was hosting.
The moment Bublé graced the stage, the atmosphere was electric. Not just because a multi-award-winning artist was hosting, but also because Bublé’s sense of humor was on full display. He effortlessly combined jokes about current events, playful jabs at fellow musicians, and witty one-liners that had the audience rolling in the aisles. One memorable moment was when he got the then Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, laughing with a light-hearted jest. It’s not every day you see political figures letting loose, but Bublé managed to make it happen.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2016
The Tonight Show has always been a platform where celebrities let down their guard and share a laugh. But when Michael Bublé made his appearance in 2016, it was a comedy masterclass. The highlight of the night was the “Box of Lies” segment.
For those unfamiliar with this game, participants are required to describe objects hidden in a box, while the other person guesses whether they’re lying or telling the truth. When Bublé’s turn came, his descriptions were outlandishly hilarious. The tales were so preposterous that not only did they leave Fallon bewildered, but the audience was also in a constant state of uproarious laughter. It’s one thing to sing soulful songs, but Bublé’s flair for comedic storytelling truly set him apart that evening.
Kennedy Center Honors 2018
The Kennedy Center Honors is a solemn event where luminaries from various fields are honored for their contributions to the arts. In 2018, Diana Ross, the legendary songstress, was being celebrated. The audience was expecting moving tributes and soulful renditions of her songs. Enter Michael Bublé.
Of course, Bublé paid his respects through his music, but what caught everyone’s attention was his humorous tribute speech. In his signature style, Bublé remarked how he was a better singer than Diana Ross, a joke that elicited a sea of laughter and applause. It was heartening to see that even in such a formal setting, Bublé’s comedic essence was untouched and in full swing.
Bonus: Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2017
James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke is a segment that fans eagerly await. But when Bublé was in the car, it was not just about belting his chart-topping numbers. Between soulful renditions of his songs, Bublé unleashed a barrage of jokes, witty banter, and humorous anecdotes that had Corden in splits. This episode wasn’t just a treat for Bublé fans but for comedy lovers as well.
