One aspect in which Ricky Gervais is superior to me is that I would have never shown my face in public again after this. I would have wandered off into the woods to die.
Shandling has said he was spooked to see Ricky in his kitchen with the cameras and that he was trying to give Ricky the hint to turn them off until the proper interview started. Unfortunately, Ricky didn't get the hint and let the cameras roll, so what we're left with is a very awkward, cringe-inducing interview.
01:32 where he catches himself saying “that I - we are fascinated by” reveals the self-indulgence of this project. It’s 20% about the stars and 80% about Ricky attempting position himself as there equal.
Much behind the scenes that people are missing. I say this as a Ricky Gervais fan. When they set this whole thing up, Gary and Ricky were filming their shows simultaneously - both agreed that they would shoot Gary's bit before Ricky's bit - but when the day came Ricky showed up with the cams rolling as though he was just going to shoot his interview first and Gary was caught off guard. The result is this awkward interview with Gary being deliberately uncooperative cause he's annoyed.
It was beautifully and poetically manifested in that moment where Ricky just walks towards the garden and Gary doesn't follow... and he asks a pertinent question: where is your self awareness? I'm beginning to think the reason he was so great at playing David Brent is because he IS David Brent. But he's also becoming Chris Finch which is... problematic to say the least.
What's worse about Gervais is he's one of those people who sucks up to people who he thinks will help his career, and disdains those he thinks are beneath him. He's always used more talented people to gain success. His shtick is pretty transparent. Thankfully more and more see through it now. So now he gets paid by Netflix to say the things he says he's not allowed to say. Even that's old stuff now. He never did anything on his own that was good. Without his writers and the people he used to fill his bank accounts, and you're left with David Brent. He wasn't acting in that show, he was hurt being himself.
The Larry Sanders Show is incredible. I think I recall Ricy Gervais said it was either his favourite or second favourite show ever. Garry Shandling is incredibly funny. I love both of them.
They're talking about when Gary is at the sink putting his contacts in, and his incredulous reaction that Ricky is daring to offer him advice in his own home doing something he needs no advice on. Weren't you watching?@@Weird-City
holy shit this is like watching a boxing match, and one guy is running away because he thought he was a professional and he's suddenly realizing he's barely an amateur.
The problem - as Garry Shandling said - is that Ricky Gervais is "in his head" - he thinks he is the most important person in any room, and that he can order other people around - even when he's in their house. He's witty and talented - and an obnoxious git. (Edit - Garry probably got increasingly irritated - as I have - by Gervais' obviously fake laughter.)
Fascinating indeed- seeing how they both navigate differing unspoken rules. Rules of being a celebrity, of being a guest, being on camera, how to assert boundaries, break the ice with a stranger who’s also a peer, jockey cfor position all while concerned about being entertaining . It reminds me of dealing with a grandparent who’s stuck in their ways vs.a younger person with independent ideas they don’t even realize are causing offense. Here the male ego and other factors are at play. Makes for an extraordinary interview.
@@icu3869it wasn't an interview Its Gervais trying to be a superior Englishman putting down the American except this American was awake and English 'man' asleep.
Here's the behind the story - Shandling on Pete Holme's podcast says Gervais and he were each trying to be guests on each others shows, which was the cause of the confusion. His low-key, introverted podcast was originally scheduled first, but his former producer stupidly forced Gervais ahead, which had a completely different extroverted BBC tone. Shandling decided to try the middle road and combine the tones of both shows, while Gervais remained clueless. In the end it's obvious to me that (by part 4) Shandling deconstructed Gervais as acting exactly as one of the guests on the Larry Sanders Show in front of the camera and fails at holding up a show without the phony 'HA-HA TOUCH THE GUEST' energy.
i agree this is fascinating. Ricky Gervais seems so tightly wound and manic whereas Garry seems centred. It's pretty clear that Garry doesn't like Ricky's work.
Garry is...centered?? Good lord man. He's so clearly off his center because of the mere presence of a clown. Shandling, like all comedians are clowns, but he seems to make the mistake of taking himself seriously. Unless this is masterful parody, then I stand corrected. Reading comments from both after the fact makes me think it was not parody and certainly not centered.
Oh man, I thought his annoyingness and self-centeredness would be something subtle. He is meeting a guy with a very different approach, kind of a legend/idol in his own words, and there he is, in a black t-shirt, commanding him around in his own bigass house like he was the court jester. Not sure it's the truth, but the impression I got is someone who loves humor meets someone who decided to be funny in an attempt to be liked. I love how this startled him so much that he decided to cancel the rest of the series. This is gold.
Cancel the rest of the series? He did three parts that were planned. You're reading too much into this. And just a question for you: if this was so bad that he cancelled the series, why didn't he cancel it before this part was out?
It's kind of hard to summarize. The whole thing was pretty convoluted. You really just need to listen to it.. here, it starts at 1;55;30 - hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/1/0/1/101f7dad9832f012/YMIW299_Garry_Shandling.mp3?c_id=10687501&cs_id=10687501&destination_id=81568&expiration=1578416584&hwt=63e2fbd966a498b3de8ff47e3181fa0e
Ricky explained his side as well. Also the show wasnt cancelled so the description is wrong. Basically it was just miscommunication th-cam.com/video/9qJ5YAxDb6c/w-d-xo.html
there is an interview with Garry where he explains what went wrong here. He was told that there would be two interviews and the first would be a very intimate interview where he asks Ricky questions, a serious interview and then another interview with Ricky in charge but the producers set up the wrong interview first and wrong footed Garry. He didn't even expect all the light and cameras to be set up at that time so Garry is actually trying for a more serious interview, more psychological and Ricky is doing a normal BBC type interview. This is why it comes off as incredibly awkward.
For perspective, you should read the recent GQ article about Shandling that illustrates his perspective of the situation. Also, it's pretty clear that Ricky Gervais just shows up at his house doing his thing and starts touring around, which clearly peeves Shandling. Besides these two people never met before, and there is no rapport, and Ricky acts like he owns the place just because its his show.
If I was Ricky I'd have asked the camera man for the footage at the end of the interview and thrown it in the bin. I'm amazed this shambles saw the light of day.
@"Four Horsemen of Atheism" is actually a good description of those priests of New Atheism. Like other agitated currents of troubled modern society, they are representing weaponized intellect, the imbalance towards the mind that we see escalating more and more. My comment to that: th-cam.com/video/TzOFKm53oiw/w-d-xo.html
I am Ricky's biggest, most loyal fan, but when you think about it, since he was the interviewer, he should have allowed Shandling to set the comedy tone, but instead he injected his own distinct style of humor immediately in the hopes/confidence that Garry would be totally receptive. This didn't "go wrong" due to the arrogance or daftness of Shandling, because he's a legend and he knows he didn't need this interview. It went off because their sensibilities at this moment weren't complimentary.
You need to watch the Larry Sanders DVD to see what was really going on here. Shandling was in the middle of being incredibly reflective, revisiting old relationships, and trying to get the people he spoke to be as real as possible. Gervais was coming at it from a completely different angle, and unfortunately they clashed horribly. Shandling came across as hostile, when really (if you see the other interviews he was doing at the time this one was made) he wasn't.
In an interview on Opie and Anthony, this interview was brought up and Ricky said that Gary called him a few days later to apologize. Apparently he was going for a bit, and after hearing they weren't going to use the interview, felt bad that he didn't do it straight.
This is really a great example of what the media and comedy world is like. Most people look at comedy thinking: "Oh what nice, funny people" But this is media, comedy and the atmosphere when the camera is switched of.
SO true. I grew up with celebrity parents, and it’s amazing how much people don’t comprehend what’s “ for show”, what’s private reality, or what’s appropriate. It’s a fascinating interview on so many levels.
Despite all the comments here, this is a brilliant exposition on the nature of comedy and fame, and life. I suggest all of you watch the full 5 parts. This is not "comedy" it's "about comedy." If you're watching this to laugh, you'll be disappointed. This is not 7 minutes of "talk show." If you want to see a great analysis and two brilliant minds "playing the dozens" and talking shop, this is for you. Thanks, Lonerboner, even though you played this down. Very rewarding to watch the whole thing.
What a great set of interviews. I'm a fan of both of these fellows. Gary is a bit harder to read, but I think he had a lot of fun doing this interview.
Garry is destroying Ricky, a joy to watch. Ricky is so empty and dumb. He does not get Garry´s Joke: "I prefer beige and blue, makes me looking more straight." - "More straight?"
It’s so weird. The comments on here used to be completely in support of Ricky, now you can’t find a single comment supporting him. Is the uploader deleting them?
It actually wasn't staged. Ricky has spoken about it since, saying Garry commented later on the phone that he was trying something which didn't quite work. Ricky didn't come up with it.
poor ricky, he's totally lost, not sure if garry's for real or kidding. of course he's kidding, he's owning ricky all the way with perfect humour. great stuff.
I haven't seen much of Shandling's work at all. But even I can tell what he's going for here. Self-parody is a good description. He's doing a bit with a fellow comedian that he hoped could keep up. No malice here.
Gervais is so far behind his fans think he's ahead. His constant, shrill cackling, constantly laughing at his own jokes, his obnoxious suck up act, it's so phony You can just tell Gervais wants to blurt out, "Garry, Love me Garry, oh, please love me, shower me with praise, I'm funny ! Not like everybody says !" He's the Fredo Corleone of comedy - but even Fredo did some things well.
Ricky might have played along if Garry wasn't a childhood hero of his, but I think he was thrown because of that. The tension and awkwardness is unbearable, just like a scene from The Office or Extras.
What a prick. I have looked over the previous comments etc and understand the context; but as a human being why so confrontational and prickish right from the outset? That first 3 minute exchange reveals a lot about the man. One of the most cringe moments I’ve ever seen on TV and I’m amazed they even put it out. LD, CG alone would have made a nice little two parter
Ιt seems perfectly obvious to me that Shandling was hazing Gervais from the get go - why Ricky presumably didn't realise that soon enough to respond accordingly or make it work as part of the whole interview itself, despite being as intimately acquainted with Gary's style as he claims to be, is beyond me. This was either staged or a moment of profound disingenuousness on Gervais' behalf.
One aspect in which Ricky Gervais is superior to me is that I would have never shown my face in public again after this. I would have wandered off into the woods to die.
Really?! Out of embarrassment? If so, why do you give up do easily? I would just edit the embarrassing stuff out.
Check out Armageddon(2023 "special") 😰
Frightfully embarrassing.

"That's my ass detector and its gone off...because you're here." LOL RIP Gary.

I recognise a lot of the outside shot locations from playing GTA V.

Someone is in your home taking the piss out of shit in your fridge?
Blood must be drawn
That twat Gervais is a total narcissist .
Garry being dead does not make this any less painful to watch...
Ricky Gervais has always tried too hard to get other comics to like him and I love seeing someone not falling for it.

Pure gold so wonderful. Shit is appreciated as antiques but never fresh from target
I think its just two masters of awkward comedy jousting with each other.

Ricky is his own rolling "laugh track": "Look guys, i was laughing about my "joke", so better do the same!" He is so cheap.
Gervais -Oh, like he cares - he laughs AT people, Garry laughed WITH humanity. The difference is stark.
"Nice house, is it council?" That tickled me real bad
Why
Shandling is hysterical!
it's a whole bit he's doing here
*The thing which you believe makes yourself above everyone else certainly does not.
