Me and the other half love WILTY. We feel involved and it's far better than most of its competitors. 8 out of ten cats comes nowhere near. Hopefully we will see WILTY on our screens for many years to come.
Thank you Rob, these interviews are wonderful. Hope you and your family doing well. I love Lee, David, Bob, and Jimmy Carr, and you introduced me to brilliant comedians that are new to me. Thanks for sharing the full interview, Hope there's a place to watch it too..
Best Wishes,
Abud
I’d have Bob on WILTY every week. He’s my favourite
Spotify? I'm already here. I'm too old for multiple applications. Just have your wife upload the full interviews here and claim ignorance if the suits at Spotify kick up a fuss.
Yourself and Bob have a great rapport on WILTY which the audience absolutely love, with David and Lee it appears more antagonistic which is still extremely entertaining. I love these interviews a damn good job,we all want to see more of the gang together ✌️🍻
Lol Bob doesn’t think he appeals to younger people. As an 18 year old, I love his and Rob’s work.
Great! He's such a loveable guy, isn't he?
He's just daft fun, and that's cross generational
I'm almost 44 and I love Bob Mortimer. There isn't a minute that goes by when he's on the screen (esp on WILTY) when he doesn't make me laugh or at least smile.
WILTY is a brilliant show but its even better when Bob's! He's clever and daft at the same time which is so funny, and all the other guest's find him so funny which isn't rehearsed
@@csgollum I'm also 44. Finding WILTY and other British shows on TH-cam got me through a major illness and surgery in 2017. Finding them was a happy accident and I've continued to watch ever since! I started with Bob's fireworks story on WILTY and haven't looked back! I agree that Bob appeals to all ages and has the best stoties!
Let us gather ‘round the fire and listen to the enthralling tales of Bob Mortimer.
I hope Bob will be back, on WILTY.....he's so missed...
@@davidhoward2487 May he rest in peace...
It would such a good show on its own. He really should do it.
I'm trying to find a fireplace right now!
Yes,that line is classic 😂😂👍
While I'm here for Bob, I simply have to mention that Rob somehow manages to immediately establish a warm environment and a pleasant pace. WILTY is such a great experience thanks to him. Also He and Bob are both great at letting others shine while being perfectly capable of triggering hysterical laughter at any moment.
Totally agree.
Yeah you just hve to watch online the first season episodes when he wasnt the host and how it changed afterwards
And he has snacks, according to James Acaster.
Rob is good because he SHUTS UP and lets the interviewee answer....
As a Welsh bloke myself I automatically feel a rapport with rob but as a teenager Vic and Bob were my bread and butter(Vic was the bread) so they're like corner lamps and table nests to me now that I'm 102 years old 😅
“Sniper’s dream they called him”.
😂😂😂
🤣
I couldn't get a breath and had tears in my eyes at that one.
I was brought up and lived just near Bob in Middlesbrough, I know the guy who had the big head, and I also know the guy called bytheway he was a friend of mine.
@@oscargrainger2962 - I'm from Middlesbrough and used to teach at Acklam Grange for a couple of years and taught a pair of sisters called Bytheway in the late 90s. I think one was called Lisa.
Teeth are looking brilliant Bob, Fuji9 working its magic!
great comment, loved that story on WILTY
That’s Fuji 9!
@@bobafetting6373 😂🤣so good 👏

Pilau rice on the top, poppadoms on the bottom...
Rob's so right. Everyone loves Bob on WILTY. He is out there as a storyteller in a league of his own. Love you, Bob!
I think he reads the card and panics then makes up some weird and wonderful story.... that happens to be true!
Every episode with him is a classic!
"Sniper's dream, they used to call him"
@@travosk8668 His names are hilarious!
Agreed 100%. Discovering Bob Mortimer & WILTY helped this American laugh through this pandemic. Just a true gift!
Bob Mortimer is one of my all-time favourite people to watch, just a naturally funny story teller.
It's a bit embarrassing how much this means to me - but every so often my wife, looking out the window, will say, "We do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden..." - and this makes me love her - maybe even more than I can imagine. Some time ago, I showed her the WILTY episode with Bob and his story because I enjoyed it so much - and the fact that she loved it, and enjoyed it enough to quote it, makes me happy.
It’s the Best when your sweetheart makes you laugh and you have this indescribable communication, especially privately, in a crowd that can set each other off! It’s wonderful!
Well this is adorable
As someone who sometimes does improv, I consider Bob the absolute grand master. His appearances on WILTY are like watching masterclass after masterclass. How to get people laughing hysterically over ordinary lines. How to walk the razor's edge of believability. How to entrance the audience so much they don't care that they know you're lying. A lifetime of lessons, five minutes at a time.
Very well said!
LEGEND BOB. I can watch your Wilty stuff over and over. Hillarious. Fishing show is fab too. 😂👍❤
Watching David Mitchell's gradual meltdowns when he has to decide are funny too!
Hilarity over ordinary lines: " a sniper's dream"...best line ever.
beautifully put
"Once you have Fuji9, YOU ARE a dentist!" and "I used to have 17 sugars in my tea or coffee. If I have 18.....too sweet!" 😂😭😂. Gets me every time!! 😭
😅😂😂
Class 😂
So funny 😁 😄
Who doesn’t love Bob Mortimer? I LOVE HIM! Bob, you are the best!
Absolutely
I can watch Bob Mortimer on WILTY over and over and over, it never gets old. His storytelling is brilliant! Listening to his book now.
Me too! The stories never get old.
And me…proof that an older man can become a national treasure
Sergeant Bytheway?
You two deserve a lick by the hand lion for making my day. 🦁

Bob's 'egg in the bath' story on WILTY is the single most funny thing I have seen on TV. Bob is a comic genius, a true one-off.
I love the cocroach investacion of barbara lighthouse. And all the names he comes up with.
David nearly crying when it turned out to be a lie is hilarious.
@@jaybestnz "what should I base it on, Bob?!"
@@h0lly_blue Haha, the utter confused desperation in David's voice when he says that.
Just you mentioning it then made me laugh!
The fact that Bob's stories and compilations on WILTY rake up 15m+ views per video is a testament to how much the younger generation loves him. I wish him good health and hope that he may have one or two more insane stories to share if he decides to join them for a future episode ❤️
100% my favourite WILTY guest!
"An old face who I vaguely knew from Middlesbrough knocked on my door. Cheeseman, we used to call him."
"I don't remember what he was called, but he had a really big head."

@@samgalloway8696 Sergeant Bytheway?
We called him cheesy because his mum gave him cheese for his face to avoid spots.. not because of his surname of course 😂

Rob is a generous, warm and encouraging interviewer. Love his and Bob Mortimer's work on WILTY.
That's how I got to know them and am SO grateful. That show has made me smile almost more than the idea of winning the lottery.
My sister was due to have her baby recently. With Covid restrictions in place, her husband wasn't able to go with her to the hospital. She was bored out of her mind and she is a big WILTY fan, so I sent her some Bob Mortimer WILTY clips she had never seen before.
She told me later that she had to stop watching because she was laughing so hard it was causing her pain and the midwife yelled at her for it lol!
I completely understand that
That was great
10 minutes for all of us over 60is fine👍
Bob has always been my favourite WILTY guest so this is wonderful to see.
This is a great channel, Rob - I love seeing the human side behind all these people who have made me laugh for all these years.
Thanks!
@@RobBrydon Bob has always been a big favourite of mine, from my first introduction to Vic's Big Night Out - awesome fella - comes across as sucj a lovely and genuine bloke. WILTY is one of the few game shows that crack me up. The quick witted humour from you all is genius!
Thank you for this interview and for WILTY Rob!
8:34 "You are EASILY the most popular guest we have on WILTY." ← wholeheartedly agree!!!
We love you Bob!
What I would pay (a 17 year old so I promise you're loved by da youth) to see a tv show with Bob Mortimer and Rob Brydon where they just travel and do random stuff
have you seen him on Travel Man? Hilarious
WE DO BEG YOUR PARDON, BUT WE ARE IN YOUR GARDEN
"Ah, he's not used Fuji."
Come a little bit closer....
I'm a gardener-landscaper and desperately need that on a shirt.
I hear Cheeseman very good at this
Bob on WILTY is one of the high points of a year of television. As David Mitchell burst out this year: "The mind games!”
Bob is just this gentle sweet man who tells strange stories that can't be true, but more often than not is. And he's driving both David and the audience into beautiful madness. It's just wonderful and it's also the only episode every year when the real engine of the show, Lee Mack, can sit back a bit and not take the lead.
I'm currently halfway through Bob's autobiography and my God what a life he's lead. An absolute legend of a man and I know it's an overused term, but a national treasure. I always love watching these interviews Rob, keep it up!
Bob just comes across as probably one of the nicest most genuine man
great human being is Bob.
gifted, gentle and so modest
It's quite touching how shy he is. I never would have thought of that, from his performing.
I love Bob, I can't begin to count the number of times I re-watched his WILTY highlights
I watch them all the time.....and laugh like a loon EVERY time!
WILTY has featured some of the funniest moments on TV for the last decade. Most of them are the Bob Mortimer bits.
Bob Mortimer and Greg Davis have the most insane WILTY stories, most of which care likely true.
I have watched panel shows only on youtube and frankly, I've never laughed so hard as when Bob Mortimer takes viewers on his journey of absurd but amazingly human spin.
Thank you for hosting Bob Mortimer. He is the sweetest man and most genuine soul. Very much enjoyed your interview with him.
Bob Mortimer needs to be protected at all costs! Funnily enough during lockdown I would watch an episode of ‘Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing’ whilst exercising on my exercise bike 🤣
He is a National treasure
Try his podcast athletico mince , its amazing 🤩
Try his podcast athletico mince , its incredible
Bob is so sweet. There's a vulnerability and humility about Bob that both charms and endears. He seems like such a genuine guy. Not to mention how off the wall funny he is! He made a great leading man in Catterick! This interview with Rob is lovely.
The guy who phoned bobs mum to ask for bob is the true guy behind vic and bob. An unsung , unseen hero.
Was it Gary Cheeseman
I wish we had more celebrities like Bob in America. A lot of things he's experienced are so outlandish that I just go in assuming everything he says on WILTY is true. I wouldn't be shocked to find out one day he's the real Dr. Who.
Celebrity is the side effect. Bob is a comic first and foremost. And British comics are unlike any other in the world. I just can’t picture an American being compared to Bob or other British comics, either! As an Aussie I adore him!
U mean any like him. We have none that even come close
I think we all experience a lot of outlandish things in our lives but only few can truly appreciate it comprehend it and then recite it in such an entertaining way.
I absolutely adore Bob. I only recently found out that a small handful of Danish comedians drew a lot of inspiration from Vic and Bob from 20-25 years ago and are almost the sole reason why Danish humour is so similar to British humour today.
I do beg you pardon but we are in your garden. WE DO BEG YOUR PARDON, BUT WE ARE IN YOUR GARDEN
How I'd love to do that in Bob's garden! 🤣
Rob and David Mitchell BOTH gaze adoringly at Bob Mortimer, and it expresses my feeling exactly! I adore Bob Mortimer! He makes me laugh so hard, and I love the weird world he creates! I live in the U.S. and to think that without WILTY I would never have entered the Moritmerian spinning universe! I love him!
And Lee!
What a lovely, talented man .. strike that … what lovely talented men! I love listening to both of them. They both make me laugh so much. But imagine what grief and worry Bob must have gone through back in the day alone in London after a breakup and kudos to him for overcoming that and becoming one of the greats of British comedy! Well done chap! You are loved and appreciated. Thanks both of you.
Thanks!
Everytime Bob turns up on WILTY my wife and I both wait in anticipation for his diabolically convoluted and weird stories.
We will literally say "It's true" to almost anything he says because so often it is!
There is this anticipatory excitement that I love. We genuinely pay really close attention and laugh through the whole performance.
He's a genuinely funny man whom we adore.
My mouth literally hurts for smiling non stop while watching this. Rob and Bob should be considered national treasures!
I could listen to Bob all day. He just knows how to tell a story and honestly I don't think he even realises how funny he is when he gets on a roll.
There's one thing about this show that feels very akin to The Hot Ones and it's that the interviews feel very genuine. The people who show up and talk are in the comforts of their own home, speaking to a peer in the industry, and aren't expected to be "on" - and that's what I really enjoy about this channel and why I keep coming back. You get to see the person, the human being.
Keep it up Rob. You, along with many of your coworkers and guests, still have a huge fanbase with the newer generations. Authenticity lends itself well to longevity.
Cheers from Iceland.
Bob is a genuinely funny all round great comedian, his daft stories crack you up. Rather than an endless stream of jokes he quietly welcomes you into his mad world ..we need more Bob. He truly is a national treasure. We used to live near the Albany in Deptford in the mid 80s where Vic Reeves Big Night Out was on and from the posters I always thought it looked worth going to but we had 2 small kids and no childcare at the time so never managed it. So wish we'd been able to go. Vic and Bob together was sheer madness.
I do beg your pardon, we are in your garden. 😂😂😂
The interview we’ve all been waiting for! Best interviewer, best guest!
He is a national treasure ! There’s no one else like Bob
Bob is a comedy genius, funniest man alive and we want that to stay that way Bob, so get back on that bike! Rob as always awesome casual lovely chat we love you too
Some comics 'do" funny Bob 'is funny'
love a bit of bob, he's a very bizarre and hilarious comedian and i would love to have a pint with him
But which bit of Bob do you love?
Not now madam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Bob soooo much, he's like your mate, your grandad, and funniest uncle all rolled into one, and he comes across so warm, friendly, funny, just love the guy xx
Great interview Rob.
Peace and Love xx
Bob's a national treasure
Bob Mortimer is a national treasure, he is everything that's great about the UK, from an Australian's perspective
From Singapore, I love wilty with Rob, Lee and mack. But it's on another level when Bob's around.
Bob is an absolute treasure. The hard times Rob, David and Lee have got me through along with their amazing guests, just by laughing is incalculable. I watch re-runs and still laugh - much in the same way I continue to listen to the Beatles and sing along. Your contribution to your fans is immense.
Don't ever underestimate what you give to us or the positive impact you have.
Rob should do a four way with Bob, David & Lee. Just raw magical comedy essence in its primal form.
Wilty is brilliant.
Bob is a comic genius.
Rob, David, Lee and Bob all together, is everything.
Thanks to all of you x
Love you both so much! Bob needs to be on WILTY more often! He is one of my absolute favourites, top five favourites for sure! Sending much love from Canada xo
I want a British That 70's Show remake based on Bob's childhood. The stories and characters are already there from what he's told on WILTY.
Would be awesome, what a wonderful idea.
What a great idea I hope you get some sort of finders fee forward the thought if it happens 😃
I want to see that story he told about creeping up to his neighbours windows depicted =P
That's a great idea, who could play Dave Cheeseman and Steve Bytheway?
@@NoxiousRob Will Poulter is an obvious choice for an adult Dave Cheeseman.
I used to watch Shooting Stars and sometimes it seemed that Vic was the big talent... but then I realised years ago that Bob is actually a natural comic genius. Every time he speaks, I anticipate something funny, but he just exceeds all my expectations. A gift to the world, thank you Bob!
Bob one of the only comedians on WILTY that makes Lee Mack crease up! Very genuinely funny bloke!
Ah that's true!
Bob Mortimer is one off the funniest humans on the 🌏 , let only 🇬🇧.
Such lovely, heart warming humour!
How he and Vic have not been Knighted is beyond belief!?
Who are you talking about.
The love and admiration Rob has (and that so many of us share) for Bob really shine through this interview, especially toward the end when asking him to do more exercise an look after himself. That so clearly comes from a place of concern and wanting Bob to be happy, healthy and with us for as long as possible.
Two wonderful and hilarious people having such a warm conversation is a pure joy to watch.
What a clever, erudite, random genuine and hilarious bloke. Love ya Bob.
What a wonderful interview! It’s really true that Bob is the number one guest in WILTY.
There seem to be 9 people who dislike this video. How is that possible. Two deeply lovely people talking about very real things for free for us . How can it be possible to dislike that?!?
I like to think they were meaning to hit the like button but hit the dislike button by accident. Like if they were using a phone and fumbling it without noticing it.
Hi Rob, I think there was an opportunity missed to start this interview with you visiting Bob's house and arriving via the back garden trying out a game of theft and shrubbery
Back in the 90s, sometimes Vic & Bob (and, on one occasion, Ulrika) would drink in my local with some mutual friends & I was fortunate enough to spend an evening or two in their company. All of them were as genuine & as good company as you could hope for.
Fantastic!!
Nice to see Bob on here, only really came across him a couple of years ago
through WILTY videos on TH-cam. He`s become a favourite person on earth now,
take care Bob and hope to see you in something new in a not too distant future :)
Have you seen Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing? Sounds quite boring! I'm certainly not into fishing...if you haven't seen it ,it's okay, you can thank me later. 😆
@@torchw00duk I have seen it, swedish television have showed it starting about 12-18 months ago, and i like it a lot :)
I stood next to Bob Mortimer at a bus stop on Linthorpe Road in Middlesbrough back in the early 90's. I was too starstruck to say hello! I hope to meet him again someday and say hello properly, also ask his advice on what the best utensil would be for removing a vexed stoat from a length of B&Q waste pipe.
Love your interviews Bob. Any more seasons of Would I Lie to you. Still watching repeats. The wittiest show on TV.
As a new fan to British tv show, 2 weeks and a man of 60, I have to say this was a touching interview.
I have been laughing so hard, to the point of passing out , that this other side of them was a special moment.
Thank you to all from the other side of the pond.
Leo from San Diego.
I do love Bob Mortimer. I was never a big fan of Vic, or Jimbo, as I found his humour a bit too forced whereas Bob always seemed like he was having a great time doing funny stuff. I didn't know about the heart bypass. What a scary thing to realise you were moments from death but felt alright. We need more crazy stories from your life on WILTY, they make for the best of episodes. God bless you Bob and family.
You need to find and watch this series. Bobs friend took him fishing to get over depression after the surgery. Its incredible. Never originally meant to be filmed. Four seasons made now and you will laugh out loud as it is just watching two friends fishing and having a laugh.: th-cam.com/video/ZAO0lYdalmA/w-d-xo.html
Bob is my favorite storyteller, and my favorite person on WILTY. He is so genuine, kind, and hilarious! 💜
Both Reeves and Mortimer were my favourite growing up. The smell of Reeves and Mortimer was awesome and we'd recreate the sketches in class.
only found out about this show this year and I love hearing Bob's stories. Such an odd life but can see he's a national treasure. I love this show so much
What a heart-warming, beautiful episode! Love the humanity and vulnerability of both. Thank you for what you do ❤️
Bob is the only comedian who does his own dentistry.
FUJI-9 FOR LIFE

@@KellyVergara pilau rice 🤣
@@KellyVergara his teeth are false, connected to crowns.
The one we've all been waiting for. Bob Mortimer - the funniest man in the known universe.
Got to admit I welled up there at the end. Bob is the best, been watching him since Big Night Out and saw him just before the pandemic doing Athletico Mince in Glasgow. He was very lively on stage that night. Do some more exercise Bob, and have a campachoochoo on me!
I will watch WILTY on my phone while I make dinner, fold laundry, do dishes, what have you, and I always have to completely stop what I’m doing and give my full attention whenever Bob’s turn comes up. It is an experience, and I find myself gazing just as Rob described.
Jesus!...the first experience for me to see Bob sharing outside of the comedy domain....I am totally humbled...and thank you all
YES YES YES YES YES.
He sounds very quiet in these sorts of interviews though. Like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail.
‘’Fingerprints on an abandoned handrail’’ … fantastic line! Did you come up with that? It’s very evocative. If you made that one up, you should consider a writing career!!!
@@gudgengrebe I wish I could claim that one, and I am considering a career in writing, but that line was said by Mr Bob "I always crack an egg into my bath" Mortimer himself on WILTY.
Edit: he doesn't really crack an egg into his bath, that was a lie.
@@gudgengrebe No, its Bobs line from WILTY describing a vague memory.
@@Star_Joker actually this sentence he said when telling the theft and shrubbery story.
@@rodrigomarinho1807 no I know that, I just wanted to quote a Mortimer WILTY title as Bob's nickname. I actually considered calling him Bob "Sniper's Dream" Mortimer (something also from the theft and shrubbery story).
I'm a huge fan of WILTY and, like Rob says, Bob is an incredibly entertaining fellow. Hadn't heard about his health issues but am thrilled that he appears in good health. That said, I wish to thank Rob, David, and Lee for this top-class entertainment. I hope you'll continue the show for the unforeseeable future. It never gets old.
Love Bob so much. He is (in equal measure) absolutely hilarious and incredibly lovely. Perfect combo really.
And he's incredibly clever...
"A leather maker's drill...yes?"
I've only gotten to know Bob Mortimer's work over the last 7 years and his madcap mind and verbal sidewinders have me laughing proper loud. That hasn't happened much in the last 3 years. Look forward to more from Bob and WILTY.
Find his amazingly funny podcast - Athletico Mince - that is all.
@@davidavien4338 Title already has me interested. cheers
@@davidavien4338 I listened to that podcast years ago and it now feels like a crazy fever dream. Those Tottenham skits were legendary
I love how you chastise Bob on the lack of exercise! We need to protect this delight to humanity! Loved the insights he gave about WILTY. I'm sure the ambience you create must go a long way in making the show what it is. Love from India!
Love love love Bob Mortimer. He is a comedic genius!
How great is Rob, doing his small man in a box while he interviews Bob 🤣
Bob Mortimer is an absolute Legend, thank you so so much for streaming that interview
2 of my fav people in one podcast. Love the way you get guests to talk about their lives Rob ❤️
I wish I had a whole day with bob to just sit and listen to his stories
Bob is the best guest on WILTY. His true stories are the most ridiculous stories ever. The other team started to pick them because they were so ridiculous no one could have made that up. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The greatest man on earth. Truly special talent, but also so warm and kind.
You light up my morning Rob. Listening to you and Bob has me in stitches and I consider 10 minutes of listening to you two each morning on old WILTY series, I consider part of my wake up routine. ;.P We need more of you two. Bob's naturally inane way of being funny about every day life and your dry humour is the formula for my giggles for sure.
bob is eternally silly and he'll always be entertaining to all ages. what a legend. I'm 36 and i grew up with vic n bob.
Possibly the most wholesome conversation Iv'e seen on the tube for some time. Love both these guys. Thank you.
easily one of the naturally funniest and instantly loveable men alive today!
I have been admiring Rob’s humbleness and modesty as Wilty’s host. Hearing from Bob that, how together with David and Lee, they comfort the guests is heart warming. All of you are great comedians making us heartily laugh but you are all GOOD people as well. 🙏🙏
Could listen to this pair for hours and hours. Two brilliant brilliant blokes.
