I love Jonathan Ross and Ricky Gervais. I’ve been through quite a bit of hell and back here in the US and this show has definitely helped me get through I love British comedy.
Aside from the fact that Gervais is hilarious, he truly enjoys good comedy himself even if it is his own roast. 4:11 is an example. Gervais: "I am never doing this show again." Ross: "I will hold you to that." Look at that laugh. For him, a good joke is a good joke, even if it is his own roast. Other examples are his interviews with Letterman.
Two of my favorites celebrities. Both pull the piss out of celebrity and don't have filters which makes them so important especially Ricky and how he confronts and ridicules (presenting golden globes) their behavior and narcissistic tendencies. Long may they continue their missions.
Maybe it’s because I’m not too used to British TV, but the host actually seems genuine unlike all the American Late Night TV hosts who fake laugh and follow the teleprompter like their life depended on it.
I think they all have a fake laugh for those guests that aren't too funny or just to ease them in but Conan seems to have a genuine rapport with most his guests and let's them have their time (looking at Fallon). I'm a Brit
@@eldiego68 not sure how I omitted to mention Craig too. I binged hours of his show quite recently! But yeah, he is a Scot so Conan still stands as the US best (I haven't seen any of Carlson or Letterman though)
@@mrswanson5013 I'd like to feel sorry for Fallon, but he creeps my soul out of my spine and breakfast out of my sphincter. Like a cat-torturing toddler.
Glad to hear that. I love Ricky i know his offensive humor and love him for that but i also know he is really kind person on tv appearances. I was hurt by how he treated him untill i saw your comment
Jonathan Ross is one of the best talk-show hosts ever. He's like underrated like Craig Ferguson with whom people only started paying attention after he stopped doing it.
Watching Ricky and Jonathan is like the conversations I have with my parents...it's like pulling teeth half the time, trying to get them to get to the point and then realising they have no idea what they're actually talking about, they just wanted to talk! Glad I'm not the only one who has these issues!! 😂😂😂
Funny seeing this from a fair while back where he's talking about his next project he's writing & now knowing it was Derek & it was another big hit for him.
8:10 J Ross commenting on how he didn't think Ricky would be able to knuckle down and stay on course writing a drama .... and then years later we got the absolute tearjerker that is Afterlife.....
These two guys are hysterical. Their comedy is subtle. I have always liked Ricky Gervais. I still think he should host the Oscars again. I loved him, and of course the intelligentsia, ha ha, couldn't take the fire. Most of them, fakes.
"Will your stand-up work for American audiences?" Becomes the Golden Globes host 2-3 years after this interview and does it another 4 times after that.
It really isn't. It's poorly written, forced, overly sentimental, clichéd and often unfunny. Derek was similarly poor. These shows are nowhere near the league of The Office or Extras. Ricky's work quality and writing has significantly declined since parting ways with Stephen Merchant.

With various people standing at the side waiting to go in behind the coffin wondering what the hell I was doing ! My grandmother would have been very amused I sat through the service imagining her laughing at me. 😊
Yes, very sharp but relaxed & playful. Travolta was blown away each time b/c their riffing on each other seemed so spontaneous. Ya, like musicians playing back & forth building something up, but here it's making each other laugh, bouncing back & forth.

They are actually friends anyway which is why they bounce off eachother so brilliantly
Yes, Ricky does just fine in the US! He is one of the the funniest comedians out there!!
We all know Ricky is a star. What surprised me was how well the host stood out. Great job!
Check out an episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown
Jonathan is on there occasionally but the show is solid gold
Jonathan Ross in his heyday was magnificent
His interview with Tom hanks is a classic too
Does anyone remember when Grace Jones chased him with a whip?
Jonathan Ross is one of the best talk-show hosts ever. He's like underrated like Craig Ferguson with whom people only started paying attention after he stopped doing it.
"Derek" thing was absolutely genius, it truly was. There is no better critique of a society than a look at how they treat the elderly.
I think I cried at the end of every episode of Derek. Brilliant series.
Ricky is a legend as always, and Jonathan Ross is hilarious, what a great interviewer.

Hear, hear. 👏
Mr Ross is so genuine with the way he talks 2people is very natural.hes always himself and I think people like him 4 that
These two blokes are a fine representation of comedy, intelligence, and showbiz
I really enjoyed this video
Thank you 🏆

Good to see Wicky Gervais on his show.
Is it just me, or did it sound like he said "RICHY" Gervais?

In the extras special the cast of when the whistle blows did go to Spain. Ross was in the special also.
The special that he did in the states was the best one he’s ever done
Love the abusive humor..Honey Badger of Comedy
Ricky has the most beautiful smile
Great interview to stumble upon. Ricky must be a fun challenge to interview.
He would be terrifying to interview !! 😂😅😅
Ricky went on to write After Life you could call that a dramedy. Its very good, funny & touching.

Hell yes we get his humor!

A sense of humour is always important ❤❤
In your life, when you get a chance to tell Deniro not to call you again, you just do. Bless him!
Ricky got on so well with John Travolta that he gave him a mention at the Golden Globes...
“Also not nominated, I Love You Phillip Morris, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay - so the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists then."

Wings experienced the same thing. As the posters were going up all over the country, Mull of Kintyre was already number one in the charts.
John Travolta at 07.27m is just priceless
High class
The important thing in life is .... having a laugh. Not a bad philosophy ...
The fact that e was sitting next to John Travolta given his Emmy joke about gay scientologists is hilarious
