She is such a great interviewer so relaxed and get in the joke with them but still asking them real questions as moved smoothly from one to one. I loved her! Much better than the other dude who used to keep interrupting ppl
RosendalTV i’m not offended, I am pointing out something that I find disrespectful to a person, I would do it even if Ramy wouldn’t find it this way, because it’s my opinion and apparently at least 126 other people
yeah I can't tell if he's making fun (because I don't know him) or if he is one of that constantly offended PC generation of as*holes who are sucking off humanity out of everyday life of our times
"Those nurses that are doing 14-hour shifts, some of them dying, it will allow them to see us talk about our shows that might get nominated for Emmys. So there's that." 3:50
Ricky's got a fantastic perspective on humour. Loved Ramy and Kumail's perspectives as well. All in all a great conversation here. It was awesome and hilarious.
Can we just applaud Ramy for roasting Ricky and Ricky for loving it? I feel like if anything Ricky feels uncomfortable when people aren’t roasting him.
I'm glad Ramy is one of the people representing my generation in this sphere, he's worthy of all the praise and recognition and see great things in his future. I really see alot in his show that I can relate to without even having a religious background. It was really fucking well executed. Ramy and Atlanta are some of the best shows out there in this lane.
Ricky is the best. Time to rewatch his Netflix specials to bring my mood up. He’s sharp and quick-witted, yet humanistic and compassionate. I like that he pushes boundaries for comedic and ironic purposes and I think I would say he’s my current favorite (living) stand-up comedian.
I think Ricky nails something vital that gets missed these days. Just because your character takes a point of view, doesn’t mean the author does. Also trying to tweak your comedy so that it doesn’t offend anyone would be a futile endeavor. There will ALWAYS be someone who is offended.
But the others bring up good points too. As Kumail said, it can normalize ideas that societally would otherwise be considered harmful. Don't punch down.
@@lynnhettrick7588 people don't make up their mind from a joke. A racist prison is going to be racist irrespective of whether he hears some joke related to a minority that solidifies his beliefs. As Ricky's already pointed out, people don't realise that the target of the joke is what matters not the subject.
@@yomamasohot6411 but it normalizes that way of thinking. Satire is useless if your joke isn't formulated well enough that your audience doesn't know you're joking. If your audience doesn't know your joking, then you're just punching down, which is lazy and not funny.
@@CyanAnn People that actually go to his shows are already a fan of his comedy and they understand where the joke is coming from. And not only watches his shows but a lot of them follow him on twitter where he is quite open about his views. I follow him on twitter and I think he is a genius. He is a true liberal who stands for libertarian values which today's left has left far behind for the vote of the minority.
I love how curious they are about each other. They are really listening to each other respond to the questions, and - in my opinion - they seem genuine with their questions to one another. The interviewer, Joely (sp?) is fantastic. She's my favorite of all the Round Table interviewers.
Ricky was so funny, and Dan Levy is so very smart at such a young age. Ramy and Kumail were new to me and I found them both very funny. Now to check out Silicon Valley. :)
This was a great panel. they all had great chemistry. Enjoyed how they cracked each other up and had the giggles. They weren't trying to "out-funny" the others. But they also had great insights and were able to question each other and expound on viewpoints without sounding preachy or confrontational.
Oh come on this was hiiiilarious! Keenan said "Good luck, editor!" xD I wanna know how much of Ricky's stuff was edited ehehe. And kumail pushing Ricky was important. Love DAN, ramy was real cute in this too
I like that Kumail brought up a valid counter point to Ricky's argument about being able to joke about anything and highlights the possible impact on minorities/marginalised groups/people and Ricky was able to then justify how he could by highlighting the simple fact that it would be wrong if trying to treat marginalised/minorities equally to everyone else to then not be able to joke about them on the same level as everything. It's the ability to differentiate between the subject and target of a joke or to understand irony and satire that matters and you can't pander to the stupidity and inability of others to understand your joke.
She is such a great interviewer so relaxed and get in the joke with them but still asking them real questions as moved smoothly from one to one. I loved her! Much better than the other dude who used to keep interrupting ppl
I absolutely love Kumail. He's awesome. I love Ricky and Kenan as well, but Kumail is the quintessential example of an actor who is a lot better at his craft than he gets credit for. He is SO good.
Ricky’s absolutely right in that intelligent comedy shouldn’t play down to stupid people. There’s nothing worse than a comedian over explaining a joke to make sure every audience member gets it. I find a lot of American comedians play to the stupid. Thankfully though, there are a lot of smart US comedy TV shows now too, where if you’re not listening carefully you’ll completely miss a joke and the story’s already moved on.
As soon as I saw Ricky's name in the title (even though there were fellow comedians), I knew that at least one of the others would question Ricky's method of telling jokes that he himself does not agree with, and there was.
No. He is ust a dumb young man who think he is cleverer than everybody else. He said the he wants to challenge the muslins and show that they dont know the muslin world as they think they known. That is very prepotent as if he is a very wise muslin leader trying to take the blindfold of its followers.
@@ric_clicks9195 , second I am tri-lingual (I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese, my mother tongue). How many languages do you speak. I be only one. But of course you will comment saying you speak at least 2 because are mythomaniac.
@@marcosladarense um i agree that he is oversmart but portraying anything about Islam on international tv is pretty ballsy considering the extremists they have
Kumail is adorable haha This is literally his face: 😊 Edit: Now that I am at the end of the round table, I love how Kumail also challenged Ricky and probed for a deeper understanding.
Love kumail, Ramy, and Dan, great discussion between all the panelists! They all have really different approaches to comedy and it was cool seeing them meshing together. Great interview!
Ricky Gervais' take on pro's/con's of COVID times: balancing nurses working 14 plus hour shifts versus ability to also watch his stand-up online when they're not doing those 14 plus hour shifts. I love his humor.
Yo there was dry humor, light humor, serious topics, great conversations, dark humor, seriousness, cringe moments and I gotta say I loved all of it. I found it hilarious, fascinating, uplifting, informative, and enjoyable. I think it would have been better in a table but hey maybe one day it will be and I’m excited for that.
I think Kumail had a great question for Ricky. I'd answer it thusly: Nietzsche and the Nazis. He said some beautiful, articulate things and commented on the genealogy of religion and tried to progress people past dogmatism. His work was picked up by the Nazis and abused and twisted. I don't think that he, or other artists, should censor their work because there is a risk it could be abused by shitty people.
I understand kumails point; I have seen comedians just make a Mexican joke or gay joke or woman joke without any underlying viewpoint other than, "haha stereotype", which racists, misogynists, xenophobes etc... will love bc it makes their viewpoint not only "funny" but also seemingly publically accepted. Whereas Ricky has always had a endgame to his jokes and tries to hold a mirror to the audience.
@Anoneemus Noename Of course I get to decide the entertainer's intent, the same way I can interpret the intent of anybody else -- entertainment or art is not exempt from criticism. The entertainer can disagree and say I misinterpreted them, but that's based on a subjective argument not some blanket rule.
@@blushingfrieza And that's how you can tell the great comedians from the mediocre comedians. If an audience member fails to understand a great comedians intent though, then that's the audience members failing, not the comedians.
Ricki and I, I believe, we have the same thinking mind. We are a tribe of thinkers in which reality is our base for anything especially our comedy, so its refreshing to see the other people 'getting' his jokes. Especially the one about the nurses. It's sad what's happening but here's my Emmy nomination...and then people shouldn't question why he doesnt end up caring for those awards in his daily life. He is engaged with things that matter, it's his delivery that's comedic.
PLS release the uncut video. I wanna see Ricky Gervais in his full, non stopping, I-Don't-Care, I-am gonna-be-the-funniest-here and I-CAN-Joke-about-everything way
Kenan deserves more respect. He is solid. I think maybe coming from being a child actor and then being on the cast for so long has diluted his brand. Or at least the perception of his brand. What's up with that? He deserves a lifetime Emmy and he's barely middle age. Yay Kenan!
very hard to compete with the minds like Ricki Gervais and his humour and accent is on another level and can't be matched. True Comedian who cares about making people laugh. I would love t play a game of Golf or a game of tennis with Ricky, his laughter is genuine and priceless.
I like Keenan cuz when you see he's going to be in a skit you're already starting to laugh and just waiting for the laugh out loud that you know is about to come
Kenan says people just say hi, but I don't even watch snl, but I'd probably not be cool if I ran into him. I'd awkwardly sing out "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes" 🤣 and he can't say that hasn't ever happened before.
Kenan is fucking amazing. He's a star. A powerhouse of talent. Steve Harvey should be proud that it's a smart guy like Kenan who does his impersonation, and not some other dumb guy.
RG is my life coach and makes my soul so happy. Really connected with him thru his standup Humanity, then Derek. Then just binged on whatever I could find with his msgs w/i. He lives his life in truth/happiness and in doing so in the public eye, as a teacher...he's my mentor. What else should we be doing with These DAZE?!? Between the way he and Dave Grohl live their lives and also how Tina Fey writes from her experiences and surrounds herself with talented people who can carry her words to new generations (thinking Mean Girls from Queen Bees the book, now on Broadway--come on, it's a metaphor about how one group will hold down another forever & ever, but especially groups who limit themselves based on what the groups in power say we have to LOOK like), I'm set--and grateful I live in a time with such intelligent, creative people. What pandemic? Yes, I too am so sorry for those who have suffered. But remain grateful for the time to soul-search and BINGE the minds/works of my heroes.
Oh, and Kenan...if you read this, thanks for SO many SNL years. You are the sweetest! XOXOX! Also, Dan? Your interview with Kelly Clarkson was adorable and as a theater teacher who is online...I have bonded with SO many middle school kids who are watching your program with their parents...although I do have a schtick about saying the title so I don't get written up in the mid-west at a public school. *sigh*
She is such a great interviewer so relaxed and get in the joke with them but still asking them real questions as moved smoothly from one to one. I loved her! Much better than the other dude who used to keep interrupting ppl
Agree - she is excellent in discussions with truly gifted genius comedic actors.
I only watch when she does the interviews.
Put Ramy Yousself name in the title, because it looks kind of disrespectful to put 4 out of 5 people’s name in the title
They usually only put 3 names. I guess Dan Levy was lucky he has a short name.
The THR is islamophobe
if Ramy doesn't complain then don't be offended on his behalf....
RosendalTV i’m not offended, I am pointing out something that I find disrespectful to a person, I would do it even if Ramy wouldn’t find it this way, because it’s my opinion and apparently at least 126 other people
Came down to the comments to say this, and you were already the first!
Ramy with a straight face saying “I’m glad this is helping Ricky’s brand” lmfao
yeah I can't tell if he's making fun (because I don't know him) or if he is one of that constantly offended PC generation of as*holes who are sucking off humanity out of everyday life of our times
Comedy actors.. No sense of humour apart from Ricky, who is also a comedian
i love how no one there really supports Rickys ego... i was so annoyed by how he was taking so much space
Also: "So you had to get jacked for your culture?" Love his dry humour.
@@darija0019 that's because he's easily the funniest person there

I'm glad Ramy is one of the people representing my generation in this sphere, he's worthy of all the praise and recognition and see great things in his future. I really see alot in his show that I can relate to without even having a religious background. It was really fucking well executed. Ramy and Atlanta are some of the best shows out there in this lane.
I love how they all chime in about how the pandemic helps Ricky’s brand lol.
Ricky is the best. Time to rewatch his Netflix specials to bring my mood up. He’s sharp and quick-witted, yet humanistic and compassionate. I like that he pushes boundaries for comedic and ironic purposes and I think I would say he’s my current favorite (living) stand-up comedian.

What about Keenan?
Dan Levy is almost 40. But yeah, still pretty intelligent
Silicon Valley is brilliant and hilarious.

He's chad asf
He looks like he takes steroids like candy.
He's ro ripped! :D i´m glad he still got his voice tho..
I get a real Powdered Toast Man vibe from him now and I love it.

Ricky mentioning Patrice O'neal gives me life.
Ricky is being forced into a season 3, thank goodness ! just look at twitter where his fans are pleading for the next season. LEGEND.
Dan Levy you are our Canadian gem.

Continually amazed at how jacked Kumail has become. Also this was hilarious thanks for the laughs!
Great job, editors!
here for ricky
I like that the other guys supported each other’s more sincere views and didn’t let Ricky turn everything into a meaningless joke.
Ricky got me crying 🤣🤣🤣

Ramy is crazy smart!
So smart, thoughtful, eloquent, concise.
This would have been amazing around the table.

Love them all! Ricky seemed out of place in this mix, but he definitely kept it fun and real, as he does ✨
What a great combo. Thanks!
Great questions
Cable Guy is so underrated and is a phenomenal performance by JC
Ricky is just too candid about comedy
@Anoneemus Noename no such thing as honestly?
A lot of funny jokes in this roundtable but the funniest might be Kenan's "good luck editors!" Sign off
Great interview. Although, my goodness, Kumail is not happy about Ricky.
I like Keenan cuz when you see he's going to be in a skit you're already starting to laugh and just waiting for the laugh out loud that you know is about to come
in todays episode of Ricky vs Kumail.
@Anoneemus Noename annoying, unfunny politically correct indian dude was annoying.
Fuck, well... I now have to watch all of "Ramy" after his answer at 48:41. That's genius.
Ricky Gervais in an Ironside spoof. I'm here for it.
Kenan says people just say hi, but I don't even watch snl, but I'd probably not be cool if I ran into him. I'd awkwardly sing out "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes" 🤣 and he can't say that hasn't ever happened before.
Ricky Gervais' smile is SOOOO SIMILAR to Dan Levy's. 😍 Dan is so pretty
Ramy had some great jokes
i see Ramy, i click.
Real comedy is about harmless fun with an essence of often truths are told in jest.
thanks for translate
*ricky is a national treasure👌🏾👌🏾 anyone else think ramy looks a bit like max?*
Ricky Gervais the OG
Kenan is fucking amazing. He's a star. A powerhouse of talent. Steve Harvey should be proud that it's a smart guy like Kenan who does his impersonation, and not some other dumb guy.
