1⃣. My name is Kevin. My mum called me that because…
✨This sentence sounds more natural without "like".
✨Some people have suggested "named" instead of "called", both work here.
2⃣. When I ask American people….
✨In English, we don't ask "to" someone, we simply ask someone something.
3⃣. I met a big guy, seven feet tall…
✨We describe people as being tall, not high.
✨The plural of foot is feet.
you feel that you have heard the joke before; well kevin is friend with gad, so.. you never know
CopyComics 2 ?
I’m American and I didn’t laugh either. And yeah the first thing I thought of was Gad’s joke as well, I heard him tell it several times. Gad’s version was funnier.
I also found at 1:39 a common thing that I hear French people say a lot: "so me, I was …" coming from "donc moi j'étais". I wonder if it's because the way English puts emphasis on a word is via stress while French prefers to repeat a pronoun (in this case at least).
Mistake Kev made about measurements:
When a measurement is used as a compound adjective before a noun, keep the unit singular and hyphenate it: a 7-foot-tall man, but the man is 7 feet tall.
Probabky he lives in usa and lot of teachers.
"My mum named me like that"
I ask Americans "What are you doing tomorrow"
"I met a tall guy, 7 feet high"
?
1- I'm Kevin…
2- When I ask Americans…
3:12 Ce que dit Kev à la fin est tout simplement faux. Vous pouvez l'entendre parler anglais en 2017 (vidéo YouTube : Kev Adams envahit la télévision américaine | The Zoo) : il raconte d'ailleurs son histoire de "hang out", et sa prononciation est identique.
5:16 My attempt as a non-native English speaker:
1. "My name is Kevin. My mom gave me this name because…"
2. "When I ask American people, 'What are you doing tomorrow?'"
3. "I met a big guy, 7 feet tall…"
1. My name is Kevin. My mum gave me this name because…
2. When I ask American people… (no need to say "to")
3. I met a big guy, 7-feet tall
Il devient quoi CopyComic ?
C'est un gros mytho en tout cas, il est allé à l'école en France et forcément tout le temps on apprend l'anglais soit en 1è langue soit en 2è langue à partir du collège et on garde ça au lycée.
De ce que je sais il a un Bac L donc il a fait des études générales et il avait un gros coeff sur les langues. Y'a pas un monde où il avait pas des années d'anglais derrière lui avant. Après il était peut être tellement nul qu'il a eu le sentiment de repartir de zéro mais bref…
You have to take the whole surprise element of the segment with a grain of salt. It is classic American reality TV. They sell you the narrative of an artist showing up on a whim, when in reality, the set is meticulously prepared.
Kev Adams has been living part-time in the US for a while now, and his level of English certainly does not come from nowhere. He has been cutting his teeth in comedy clubs (very much following in Gad Elmaleh's footsteps) to workshop his bits at open mics night after night. Of course he nailed his timing and delivery in front of the AGT judges. He is already performed that set dozens of times in underground venues. He is a true professional and a hard worker, but the whole spontaneous discovery angle is pure television storytelling.

Wouldn't it be more "My mom named me like that…" instead of "called me like that ?". I don't know. I would expect the word "call" to be used more often to say "I called you yesterday". But it's more of a feeling of mine than anything else.
