Reggie Watts on Ego Death, DUNKING on Elon Musk & Life After The James Corden Show

Reggie Lucien Frank Roger Watts (IG: @reggiewatts) is an American comedian, actor, beatboxer, musician, and a modern-day philosopher of sorts. His improvised musical sets are created using only his voice, a keyboard, and a looping machine. He began piano & violin lessons at age five and moved to Seattle at age 18 to study music. He attended The Art Institute of Seattle before studying jazz at Cornish College of the Arts. Worth noting - Reggie lived in Seattle during the renaissance of the grunge music era. Reggie is also an aficionado of cars and tech, speaking in detail to both during his many appearances on the Joe Rogan Podcast. He refers to himself as a "disinformationist" who aims to disorient his audience in a comedic fashion. Reggie was the house band leader for The Late Late Show with James Corden for 8 seasons.
