Comedian and actor Billy Connolly is in the red chair. Billy is one of the world's best-loved comedians, and also an accomplished actor. His latest film is 'Quartet', Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. Billy plays a retired opera singer who lives in a retirement home with a twist - pretty much everyone who lives there is a musician. We'll talk to Billy about comedy, music, and what's next for him.

I absolutely adore this man. I have for a very very long time. Not just as a comedian, actor, and musician, but as a wonderfully wise human being and engaging story teller. Despite an abusive childhood and hardships he faced as a young adult, Billy has always been able to maintain a healthy perception of life and what it truly means to LIVE. His intuition at balancing the good with the bad and his deep understanding of the human condition fills my heart with hope and optimism for the world. I love you, Billy. There will never be another like you.
i give billy connoly so much credit as he had such a bad childhood life and turned out so good and funny a man.
Billy feels like an old friend...who I have yet to meet
I figured that out years ago and I tell people who care to listen that forgiveness has more to do with you, than it has to do with who you are forgiving or what you are forgiving them for. By forgiving them what you are saying is, I will no longer let what you did to me, affect me. I have been carrying this burden which has affected me in different ways at different times in my life but now and forever more, I am taking the power to hurt me that I gave you for so many years, back and will never let you or what you did, hurt me ever again.
Beautiful said.
My favourite man in the world.
All other comedians today are trying to be him but failing miserably. My favourite man ever. He tells the truth warts and all. I've seen him twice and I cried laughing.
The Best Comedian Of All Time Sir Billy Connolly,
No, he is not, although he is very good.
Billy still thinks of himself as "the welder" but he has accomplished so much!
I Swear i could listen to Billy Connolly all day everyday
What a superb example of a human being.
George Stroumboulopoulos is one of the best......such a great interviewer. Not fake...chatty questions. Reminds me of Billy a bit.
I would give anything to have dinner with these two. Both seem so human.
The greatest living Scotsman, Celtic fan,stand up in the world
I admire Billy a lot. I wish him all the best with his recent health issues. Hang in there Big Yin!!
Growing up in Michigan I grew up watching the CBC and over time preferred it to the American networks...and Stroumboulopoulos's show is a shining example of what CBC has to offer.
Billy's still got it! What a man!!!
Billy is a great man
We salute you Billy Connolly - greatest comic of all time ! ********PdH
Billy Connolly is such a gem
lovely interview. comforting and funny.
just like two pals sitting over a pint
I saw Billy with the Humblebums in 1972. He has been in my life ever since. I have met Billy twice and I gave had the best fun times impersonating him. Billy knows what I do and has been very supportive!
+Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY You're in the comment section of every single Billy Connolly video I've watched haha
gave had
Yeah he's an absolute legend, got to meet him once after a show he did in Adelaide back in 1995. Remember it well him saying, "Jesus Christ you're a big boy, remind me not to get on the wrong side of you." Then he did this funny sort of mock cowering thing and said "Please sir, don't hurt me, I swear on my mother I didn't eat the last sausage roll", I was pissing myself laughing (For context, I'm 6'3, product of a maori mum and italian dad and at that time had just stepped away from A grade rugby, so I was quite big and mean looking).
Love this interviewer. He's like your best mate. Saw him interview Prince Charles and was again superb. Billy C is a true star ⭐
"Growing up is always someone else's idea."
That's so true lol.
Should still have this program on CBC.............best interviewer in Canada.
I really enjoy this interview. Great job George.
What a great interview
Not just in Britain, loved in Ireland too :D
@@rippedtorn2310 he belongs to all
All over the world
George is sooooo handsome. Love him!!
I love the shock and awe. All Scottish people will have a wonderful shite story x
very good interviewer,doesnt try to overpower the guest like usual americans.
he's canadian
More Billy, please! Such a great attitude. This interview was too short, but kudos to George for not cutting him off. P.S must find the 82 interview with his wife because he looked a handsome bastard!
love this man.. happy and funny!
This guy. Glad we have him still, because he was willing to perform despite life.
Be gone soon with any luck
I love billy
Brilliant!!!!
I'd never heard of George Stroumboulopoulos until I saw this. This was a good interview.
he's still got it sometimes. when he says bye
The Best Ever!!!
Billy has a life so intereted that can be easily 20 of people s lives
❤
Fvcking Legend 👏👏👏
sweetheart
"When I was only three or four he put his foot on my forehead and put me out out the door and shut the door".
F'kn hell!
Billy is the funniest man at telling stories "EVER" to come out of Britain.
+smithdvr Agreed !
scotland
Scotland.
Scotland ya prick
Just love the accent
Palps1981 It's a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht the nicht. (ಠ⌣ಠ)
+Hi Everybody!
My mum was from Glasgow and I remember her saying that.
Hi Everybody! Hi. C
Hi Everybody! Is that right? That’s pure magic, so it is, pal!
Now I feel the need to get hold of the sheet music for 'Needle of Death' and learn to play it on my Banjo. I need to know what it would sound like.
Look for it by Bert Yansch (yansh?) on here .But guitar.
About 30 years ago I worked with a man that said that he once went out drinking years prior to that with Bill Connolly.
What he said was that when he woke up the next morning his cheeks were aching in pain because he was laughing so much the night before.
I quoted him on my tombstone.
I love Billy Connolly! He's a true Scot!
Except for the Irish/Indian blood that flows through his veins.
What does that mean? The Big Yin is from Glasgow, born and bred, but doesn’t live here now. I’m Glaswegian born and bred and he’s loved here.
Hes awesome , very funny man :).
yep, character like that takes a lifetime to develop.
Love bigyin
Quite sad stories from when he was wee, we’ve all got a few of them. Good how he can lighten it up with a bitty of humour... keeps perspective
I have an autographed copy of his book, "Gullible's Travels." My biggest high was I saw him twice in South Africa, and I jokingly told him to 'get on with it,' to which he told me to "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He is the best ever comedian.
This guy has major swag.
I would love to see him do stand-up live. That would be amazing! Great interview. When was the first time he was on the show? I would like to see that show as well. Rhank you.
"he was the treasurer of the club, i didn't get paid" haha great joke
most reveling interview yet
he was the treasurer of the club hahaha, where's the rest?
Probably isn't any more. George would cut off like that to commercial all the time and when the show resumed it would be about something or someone different. Kind of annoying. You expect more and never got it!
irishelk "he was the treasure of the club, I never got paid"
i love ❤️ this man .seen him live the best night ever
My ribs were broken with his look on life .asshole 🙏😍❤️⭐️⭐️😂😂😂😂😂😂love you b.c
The Japanese have an award to artists and artisans. They call them "National Living Treasures". He's a Global Living Treasure.
I agree with Billy you got to forgive because it drags you down for the rest of your life Good man Billy xxx
R.I.P Billy Connolly
im from partick----the big yins just a jobby---cos hes always at parkhead----but seriously i like his usa tours------- micheal palin ect-------hes a bit like that------ music wise n comedy you cant beat him
That is the most sexy and funny yeti i have ever seen!
where is the rest?
"It's one of the best films I've seen all year and I mean that sincerely"...
Well when it was only 13 days into January that's hardly a compliment.
That’s the joke, it’s sarcasm. 😁
My mum's mum ran away with another man when she was an infant. Our family wouldn't speak of her after that.
+Susan Cunningham She was from Glasgow too.
FYI Billy's from Scotland.
which is britain
not if your a true Scots, lol
the lanarchist behave
Interesting
LOL
SC86Canuck he's Dain Ironfoot
And George considered changing his surname when?
Is it true that Billies sister played the part of super gran on the tv many years ago.?
Nope,that was gudren ure
GET IN MUH BELLLAY
Old people who sign their comments shouldn't be allowed near computers.
How is the quality so bad on a legit channel
who is he in the hobbit movie?
He lurks behind Orlando Bloom at all times and provides the hair for Legolas.
It’s easy to be happy in your old age if you have money……..
my mother neglected me and my father abused me problem is my mom didn't leave and my dad didn't hit me

I am so sorry, Billy ot even at full speed can annihilate anyone especially Americans.
A Greek canadian talk show host. How strange.
I run the Human Society Of The World and this our President; Proprietor;
Executive and Primary Member who wishes to remain nameless for legal
reasons. He is and factually now known as the nicest person on this Earth.
So the rest of you can all fuck off.
Regards. Second Side Up on the BBC and on TH-cam. And oh, do fuck off.
Billy you are not an atheist...WHEN YOU SAY...forgiveness is incredible...without GOD you don't do that...you just don't...
aw what? you totally missed my point
God my arse!
Total crap, you dont need religion to be spiritual, or to learn the quality of forgiveness
God and religion should be like the Easter bunny and Santa. A way of navigating childhood and to help develop important life skills but when your old enough to know Santa and easter bunny not real your also told that god isn’t real but a morality tale and away of imparting rules to live a productive life by
