i think this woman is my favorite host for these. She doesn't interrupt the flow of conversation like that one guy.
MyTubeIsBetter20 I also like the blond-ish one
Middleditch is the worst.
She reminds me of Tina Fey...
Yea she does her job well
I was just going to comment this. So true. She keeps it so much more fluid and lets them play off each other more.
It really frustrates me when they have these incredible masters of their craft and cut them off when they start to flow together, probably just ruining what could have been a great nugget of conversation.
Fire the other guy and give Stacey a god damn promotion.
hey we got the same name .. you got a new sub! haha greetings from nyc
Couldn't agree more.
stop with these firing thing and cancel culture. you don't necessarily have to put someone down in order to alleviate the other. dipshit.
You crave power, that's sad. And what are they going to do? Put a shame cone on the other dude and she gets a better chair? He's not even in the frame, praise without push.
The other guy is fine. He asks a question and shuts up for 10 minutes. He's perfect.
"Comedy lets you know that there is nothing wrong with you"
Ricky is an absolute genius!
17:33
You're bang on right to say this legendary comics mediocre comics any level of aspiring comedian wants to elevate themselves too
Fuck off comedy depending on style
Fuck off comedy picks at all our insecurities then sadly teachs
Everyone's an expert coranavirus
Why can't all roundtables be conducted by Stacy Wilson?! WHY?! She's the best! It's actually a conversation and not an interview.
Jordan just over there thinking about transcending the horror genre.
the moment Middleditch was saying that every comedy nowdays is the same , Jordan was like "Hmmmmm"
Which part was that?
@@SubscribersWithoutAnySubscribe around the 22 minute mark after gervais brings up arguing comedy
@@nightcrauler1 Spot on! I literally saw the wheels turning. Love a good conception!
That sounds creepy. You know what I mean:)
It looks like hes trying to hold a poop in. Lol
The interviewer was great. She did a really good job with controlling the conversations and leading the questions. That's especially hard to do with comedians. And she knew about their careers and comedy in general which is awesome. Round of applause for her.
She also did a nice job keeping things balanced so that even the soft-spoken folks got enough time to talk.
Not too hard on the eyes, neither! 😁
haha round(table) of applause
I was impressed when Fred Armisen brought up Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets, a British movie from 1949, and the host said "Oh yeah he was great!" so casually.
Controlling some kind comedian's conversation is nothing compared to politicians, believers and conspiracy theorists. The list goes on..
I get you but my preference is to allow more flow in the conversation instead of the focus being on her. Ricky Gervais helped to open up the conversation. Kudos to all.

You like the hundreth guy who sais this. And I completly agree. Doesn't hollywood reporter read their comments? IF they want success, they should.
It’s nice to hear the actors answer seriously with the other interviewer rather be all cosy and pandering to the actors. I feel like I get more serious answers from him and the actors. If you want to see the fun side and jokes then watch all the other million interviews out there.
@@reanimated6 it doesn't matter for them
I love how Ricky Gervais intellectualises comedy. He truly is a master at what he does. And living proof that some of the funniest and most empathetic actors have been through life (worked in an office for 10 years) before they begin performing. Drama school can never replace life experience imo
Like seriously the interviewer, Stacey Wilson I think, she deserves a show.
She's really really great.
At first I thought Jordan didn't like Ricky, he seemed to be scowling at him, but I found he's just really attentive to every thing he says.
I'm glad someone else spotted this
this comment was dope titties
Spot on as the English say
I also think the same. Some people like to create drama.
I felt the same way until he said Ricky was so important for him
Don Cheadle is the only person who's been on both comedy actors and drama actors roundtables
jim carrey too
No he isn't, there's a few now, I think more women
I never saw Don as funny to my recollection. I looooove him in dramas. Would you consider Boogie Nights a comedy? 🤔
This could have been 100 times longer, and I'd be okay with that.
Agreed!
Ricky Gervaises thing about people mistaking subject of the joke for target is so on point. It's not that political correctness is necessarily dumb, whats really dumb is people who don't understand where the humor of a joke is, and get offended by jokes that are in reality, not offensive.

Is it just me or she kinda looks like Robin Wright :/
Nobody can explain comedy and humour better and more eloquently than Ricky Gervais.
When they were talking about Louis C.K. I was like, how old is This?
Yeah, the bit about rooting for his character despite his failings didn't age well...
Ricky set the template for modern TV comedy with The Office. His accomplishments can't be understated. Love him and I listen to the radio shows on repeat lmao
Overstated, not understated
Oh play a record!
“a bit weird innit..”
Actually, the Office was inspired by Steve Coogan's Alan Partridge. The first awkward fly on the wall comedy show
@@user-ij4hp5nn6gNo. Alan Partridge was never ‘fly on the wall’. The Office was inspired by a real docusoap genre that had emerged around the same time in the 90s, and mockumentary films - particularly Spinal Tap.

No they do understand humor,its the far left who want to control speech.so they pretend its "offensive".
its not the real left. its the liberals.
Or maybe it is not about politics. There are idiots on every side.
@@reallivebluescatmidnight rambler said "far left" not "real left"
Just watched Humanity on Netflix. His comment are even more true now then they've ever been.
She's an excellent host. She should host ALL OF THESE ROUNDTABLES. The little rude weasel who cuts everyone off should be BANNED. This woman is much more cool and respectful and seems to be in the moment with these guys. Great job!
Yeah, there are so many terrible interviewers on TH-cam that the decent ones (like her) really stand out.
I learnt nothing new here. They were all joking and being superficial. The other guy cuts the crap and gets them to talk seriously. I guess everyone who has said what you have are either really young and just want gossip and just see how warm and fuzzy your favourite actors are, whereas the other interviewer cuts to the chase and asks serious questions and gets serious answers where the rest of us can learn something. To see that acting and Hollywood isn’t all fame and money and an easy life.
is there a link for that interview where you guys talk about that guy who cuts off the flow of the conversation?

ITS ABOUT STUPID PEOPLE MISUNDERSTANDING THE JOKE!!
"So now, what, Dracula didn't exist, and Mickey Mouse didn't die?"
PURE HILARITY.
As a born Londoner I'll say that Ricky is 100% right in what he says about the UK humour. I've worked in a local office setting and government healthcare sector as a support worker and both environments he sets in his shows, the office and on Derek is 100% very relatable to me. That thing about British people supporting the underdog is real talk, then the minute they make it it's like we think....look at that bloody sell out, who does he think he is....type thing lol
After moving to the south (ATX) from living in Milwaukee my whole life, I've learned to use sarcasm and dry humor very sparingly. I'm literally overjoyed when I find someone I can joke like that with down here.
I wish I lived in the UK instead of US. American root for successful people and you can tell by how they joke - fake and feeling superior. I find it hard to make friends here cuz people only tell the truth behind your back. I always tell my husband that I'd feel a lot more comfortable in UK.
Im British if it means anything we truly support the dream chasers optimistic people's of our wonderful community xx much love to BRITAIN
Tall poppy syndrome
The thing he said about the difference between Americans and English people, if an English person gets a compliment their first reaction is “what do you want? Are you after something?” Is so true
Nobody can explain comedy and humour better and more eloquently than Ricky Gervais.
laki74 Spot on.
i can
@@michellejaxon5245 go ahead
yeah, i mean, it was basically only him talking lol
@Christopher Hall u r so right. hardly any real critique, only fanboying. its weird
I love how Ricky Gervais intellectualises comedy. He truly is a master at what he does. And living proof that some of the funniest and most empathetic actors have been through life (worked in an office for 10 years) before they begin performing. Drama school can never replace life experience imo
What if you want to write a comedy about life at a Drama school?
@@robert7622 nice comeback
@@robert7622 This comment is really late, but check out "Barry" on HBO. It's a comedy about Bill Hader, playing a hitman, going to an acting class taught by Henry Winkler.
Remember he has a philosophy degree
i've never seen last man on earth...but that bar scene singlehandedly sold me on giving it a try. lol
It is soo funny..damn
Yooo
It is excellent.
Denzel...? Diego!?
@montagefreak 😂😂😂
the amount of respect they all have for Ricky Gervais
When Ricky talked about regular people not being well equipped to do things, I immediately thought of An Idiot Abroad with Karl Pilkington
Ricky Gervais and Bill Burr are my favorites comedians. They're both so smart and absolutely hilarious.
Agree but I'd like to ad carlin and Louis ck :)
+veritas.vos. liberabit in comedy I tend to ignore my views on the topic and just laugh at a joke if it's funny
+Eric Legend Agreed, he's a genius. But sometimes I wish he didn't hog the conversation so much.
bill burr is disgusting, louis, carlin, Ricky absolutely.
+kris lanc Billy Burr is a legend :D. I personally can't stand Ricky. I feel there is so much self hate in him, it pours out and is manifested towards other people. Example: he has weight problems so he takes it out on fat people. He has low self esteem but because he is among the big names he tries to convince himself that he made it. You can see this inner battle in every panel. I would hate to see how he behaves when the camera is off.
Ricky has comedy figured out to a detailed science. Genius
Fred's impression of Ricky had my rolling
makes me so happy that Fred Armisen said Amy Poehler is one of his inspirations.
She's excellent
Ricky is sharp as fuck. Spot on
Everyone was so lucky to have been able to talk to Ricky Gervais
It was really nice of all these comedians to show up for Ricky Gervais’s interview...
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏆🥇
one of the warmest roundtables ever
Like seriously the interviewer, Stacey Wilson I think, she deserves a show.
She's really really great.
Yeah, I've never seen a more self-effacing guy...
People directed what they were saying at him & not the person interviewing them
one of the warmest roundtables ever
Nobody can explain comedy and humour better and more eloquently than Ricky Gervais.
It was actually wholesome (Thank you Ricky Gervai), no one was trying to be 'bigger and better' than the other. First THR i've watched and i enjoyed everyone.
they seemed really uncomfortable at first, nd Ricky talked a lot, but there was a lot of great things to say,, glad it seemed they all warmed up overtime
Jordan Peele's face watching Ricky Gervais talk. Amazing.
hes gonna use the accent in his stuff hahaha
17:15 "Comedy lets you know that there's nothing wrong with you." ~Gervais.
"...because I would crush it, and you guys would be like 'he IS Beyonce!"
Don Cheadle was such a treat in this mix!
This is such a great group of people. Even though Cheadle is not known to be a comic actor, he seems very fun. I love Silicon Valley, Key and Peele and The Office (UK) the most.
I get him confused with Tim Meadows a lot xD
his presence there elevated the entire table.
I just learned that he's not Tim Meadows. Thanks
Silicon valley is amazing.
I love all of them. Check last man on earth.
Fred's impression of Ricky omg hahaha
Patricia Roca which part? :)
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 woman is has blu butt woman is makes cook the food at man is gives orol sex 2
Don Cheadle and Ricky Gervais have such a strong chemistry together.
You can tell Ricky has a radio background. He really dominates the conversation, controlling the energy, counter arguments.
Ricky Gervais is so fucking funny, it's unreal.
his comedic timing is always on fucking point.
@@DuncanUdaho67 That is the Brits for you. Their dry sarcastic wit always pairs well with comedic timing.
Its wild to me that anyone thinks this..
I love Stacey Wilson, the host, i could listen to her forever....she's very likable
Xenija Grünschnabel Agreed. I usually hate interviewers, but she's so knowledgeable and personable.
+Xenija Grünschnabel i mean!!! she is also a total babe! she is so beautiful nd her smile is just breath taking!
+afro symphony oh she IS a babe, even I as a woman have to agree with that :D
Fraulein Ksneja , would you like to tap that tho ? Sie ist doch süß oder ?
+Twistedreturns you mean the British guy? :D Or the other guy, I forgot his name...Stacey is just great and I love how she smiles and the way she asks questions...ok now I sound gay :D :D
29:38 I love when someone says a joke and the rest of the guys build off of it
The interactions between Ricky and Fred are everything! XD I wanna have a beer with them
Will Forte's bad impressions are so funny. In this interview they're all surprisingly down-to-earth and relatable, which is kind of awesome...
As a Boom Op, my opinion of Ricky Gervais has just skyrocketed.
ricky is so intelligent i could listen to him for hours
Check out his podcasts with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington if you haven't already.
all these dudes were so supportive of each other this was so nice
Don Cheadle saying "Cuz you're the funniest!" was SO sincere!
I had no idea The Emmy's were contemplating banning Ricky Gervais after hosting the G.G. especially all the times they asked him to host a segment before or after the incident; which is quite ironic now when Ricky Gervais's Emmy Segments are usually the best part of the whole damn award show
"When's the last supper?"
"What?"
"N-nothing - I mean when's supper?"
That was brilliant 😂😂
😂😂😂
I want to invite Don Cheadle over for whiskey.
He banned me on Twitter
You probably deserved it.
He's a real team player isn't he?
whisky is better thank whiskey.
Ryan Ratfield botty man
it's rare but i love each person in this
I love how she made sure everyone gets to respond to the question. And gets back to them if they haven’t shared their story yet
Whenever I hear Fred Armisen start to talk I feel like a skit is about to begin but its just genuine conversation such a weird feeling xD
This was a really hilarious, interesting and fluid roundtable.
that's what she said
Thomas Middleditch is so funny. Didn't really know much about him but I like his quirky personality.
***** And isn't too bad on they eyes either so that doesn't hurt :P
+OptimistHunter Reel
I've never seen his show but I agree. He's like the most naturally funny guy at the table there.
+OptimistHunter Reel You should listen to some podcasts he did with Jake and Amir, the podcast is called If I were You. Hes so funny in them especially if you like him being quirky
+OptimistHunter Reel That guy fucks!
iamhim Isnt that something we aspire to do some time in our lives?
21:05 jordanas like hmmm yess. *writes notes for Get Out* "
Ricky Gervais is a philosophy major turned comedian. No wonder why he can he break down comedy in the way he does and at the level he does it.
I'm glad Phil Hartman was mention, what a great comedian! RIP!!!!! You'll always be missed!
I thought I couldn't love Fred Armisen more, but then there he goes again! Being all handsome and dignified
Jordan Peele's face at Gervais lmao
the host kinda reminds me of robin wright in house of cards
It's the hair
the laywer from Jessica Jones
Except this host has bigger jugs.
It's the hair I think.
Although, I gota be honest. I don't personally understand everyone crushing on her so much.
I'm sure she's a lovely person, but totes not my taste in the looks department.
how is it that fred armisen always manages to come off as the coolest of the bunch? i think it's him absolutely not trying to be cool which makes him so cool.
gerith yeah he’s just so authentic, makes for a great person and comedian
@gerith or hes trying so hard to be cool that it works
@@simulationdisruptor6033 lmao
This was such a fun episode. Everyone had great chemistry.
I love this interviewer, she always has the proper bridge to evolve the conversation. I never felt like she killed a moment.
8:53, thats when Ricky starts talking
Thanks
Don is right Ricky is the funniest
faboze The Office, Extras, ..Yeah Don is right.
+faboze I can watch his Globe or Emmy monologues every damn day and not get tired of it
his laugh is so infectious. he does it all, write, direct, act, and he does it all extremely well.
I actually think Thomas Middleditch couuuuld be the funniest -- as much as I adore Ricky -- he just doesnt let himself off the leash here (I'm guessing it was out of respect as the least known)
... with Jordan a close second.
This was the literally the best Roundtable I’ve seen, I was actually rolling with laugher out load
I love how they try to persist with sincerity and depth and it inevitably ends in laughter
The white guy in the grey suit is hilarious, I've never seen him before. He's so funny.
Also the host is very good, she's the best host for the round tables.
+Simon Wilson I think you're talking about tom middleditch. He's an improv actor who is now the star of silicon valley.
+Simon Wilson I love this host too; actual in-depth, no boundary questions that aren't redundant and rhetorical for once.
+Simon Wilson She did a really good job of paying attention to the few that are more quiet and less likely to hop into the discussion on their own. Every time somebody started to disappear the next question would be directed straight to that person which, after pushing involvement, seeming loosened everybody up, got all perspectives, balanced the scales... made for a very worthwhile hour of viewing. Ricky has the same problem in these discussions or stream of thought process that I have which is make an observation or throw out a thought, critique or observe the observation, reiterate, reiterate, and it just becomes rambling about nothingness. On that note, I'll quit typing... adding only, and re-iterating somewhat, that the host did a good job recognizing it and of making sure his attention was steered correctly. Or something....?
+Simon Wilson
He's cringey.
+IRNOEbot I could understand people not knowing who Middleditch is. He's touted as the lead but he's not that much more prominent in screentime than the other people on the show. I don't feel he's getting that much of a boost from the show at all.
Stacey Wilson is so Robin Wright !
Oh my gosh that's exactly what I thought when I saw her. Especially with that hair cut.
+Leah James :D
20 years younger
This is *easily* the best Roundtable.
This was a great interview with Ricky Gervais
Ricky is the best
That was hilarious! She's an incredibly talented interviewer. Very smooth, great transitions, and her completely relaxed voice and disarming smile made this a pleasure to watch.
i think this is probably the best comedy one of these I've ever seen. I just loved the way they'd break into scenarios and everyone is contributing *chefs kiss*
Lacey and Stacey, great interviewers, so much passion, empathy and respect for their guests. Huge talent and I love their genuine laughs.
51:02 i lost it at gervais' impression of peele.
He is sooo offensive it’s funny
ricky, middleditch and peele killin it
this is the best roundtable ever. These guys have great timing and flow, and the host is awesome too. Great timing for her too.
I watch this every time I feel depressed and it cheers me up a little.
The show Derek is criminally underrated comedy
In my Top 5 all time comedies. The best that Gervais has ever made. All his shows are brilliant.
I like Stacey Wilson. Please have her host more of these roundtables!
Exactly what I was thinking. Stacy seems to be enjoying herself and everything about her in this video seems to come naturally.
So nice to see there are more people who agree with this. These were my sentiments exactly.
I hope they read these and fire that moron and allow her to host these and other things. She's great. Respectful, natural, and not that it should matter, but beautiful, as well.
I always love these. The atmosphere and how the conversation flows and is allowed to go down rabbit holes makes great conversations and a look at these acting interacting. Not sure how to pput it in words but I like the feel of these roundtables. Its very interesting, funny, and entertaining
I must give this eps as one of the finest roundtable ever. Good host, great guest and quality content on their talks.
I'll watch any interview with Fred Armisen.
No shit huh?!
+mrjustinesquer Dude. HE'S AWESOME.
+Sarah Leslie-Marie there all pretty damn great really but fred armisen nuff said!!
exactly
yas!
49:50 Peele HAS to do a lethal weapon skit as danny glover. jesus christ i was laughing so hard. genius impression!
one of the best roundtables ever. The host, the guys. comedy actors are always a treat
Absolutely LOVE these roundtable chats
The Danny Glover impression fucking killed me.
I really appreciate Ricky Gervais. Always happy to see him around.
+Oscar Sanchez Everyone else here is great too. Love their chemistry.
This was a great random find! I really enjoyed this! What a great convo!
I seriously love Don Cheadle. Such a versatile actor. From Boogie Nights to Iron Man. Gervais goes without saying... a comedy genius. I'd actually like to see something with Thomas Middleditch and Ricky. I don't know why but I feel like they would come up with something really cool.
This was the best of the four actors' roundtables this year. And Stacy Wilson is THE BEST moderator. Congrats, THR!
That interviewer is phenomenal. There are so many American interviewers that could learn so many things about interviewing from her. A Goddamn pro.
they seemed really uncomfortable at first, nd Ricky talked a lot, but there was a lot of great things to say,, glad it seemed they all warmed up overtime
I love how these people know what they're doing and talk about it in a way that you know they have done the homework of studying it properly. So it shows how much they appreciate their job and spend time on quality work. I loved every moment of this interview. THANKS ❤️
I could watch days of THIS round table!!!
ricky gervais just speaks so much more than anyone else.
Going down a rabbit hole. These are great peeks in on the people we love watching motivations and fun.
Love this Roundtable - funny, insightful and a fab group.
Thomas' Paul Lynde impersonation is hilariously spot-on!
Fred Armisen would make a great faux Woody Allen!
