What a shame that the brilliant Armando Iannucci wasn't given more time. He really has so much to say about the state of modern politics, power, communications ...etc...and would have easily filled a double session. Please have him back Stephen Colbert!
Glad he said what he said about Truss.Man from Boris toTruss. From dum to dummer.How do they elect these people to lead.Are there no good leaders in the world left🤯
He'll be back
Yeah!
His stories are fantastic and I loved where Avenue 5 went. Really wish we didn't have to talk about Truss.
Check TH-cam. 💙
Under 8 minutes of Armando Iannucci simply isn't enough.
yeah it's pants!
Please have him back!
Should have been exactly 11 minutes and 32 seconds
to be fair, there are several decades worth of his best writing produced into very well made television
These US chat show formats are incredibly old fashioned.
Armando is one of the funniest ever dudes in British telly. He is a national treasure.
I'm British and I have no idea who he is?
@@elbantochadders4035 Screamingly funny man with a serious brain. He shows up on panel shows discussing politics and whatever show he is hustling at the time. I've seen him on Have I Got News For You and The Last Leg. He also appears on various chat shows.
I live in a desert in the west of the United States.
@@elbantochadders4035 You should check out Alan Partridge then , Iannucci directed it. . . Quite fun that.
Also in the loop , Veep etc . Not to. mention the countless radio 4 comedy presence..
@@cuttwice3905 you'll sometimes find Armando, IN THE BABOON AREA!
Scottish btw
Was chuffed to bits to see Armando with Stephen on my holiday in NYC - hence my lone 'woo' at the mention of The Day Today & The Thick Of It! Loved his work since On The Hour on Radio 4 in 1991!
I am an evangelist for The Thick of It to everyone I know in the USA. It's far and away my favorite show of all time.
On the Hour: birthplace of Alan Partridge
Time Trumpet. It’s even better now we are in the future
I cant believe you came here to say "it was me you heard". I enjoyed your womanly vocal tones.
Thank you for your service! More people need to watch that show stateside. Hope you had a great vacation.
The Thick of it is the funniest satire/documentary on British politics ever written. Arnando is a brilliant writer .
It’s getting hard to satire U.K. politics 😂
The fact that I keep thinking "this is just like The Thick of It" is a testament to how good it's writing was
@@MagicSwagget12 It’s also why it’s tricky to do another series. Reality is so much stranger than fiction.
The genius of modern television along with Charlie Brooker.
The Death of Stalin has to be one of the greatest movies ever made. A total masterclass of comedy & tragedy. Love this guy's work.
Well said.
Indeed!
The band playing Chick Corea's Armando's Rhumba for Armando's entry - nice 🙂
Searching for this comment. 10 points!
'In the Thick of It' is UK Political Comedy Gold.👏👏👏👏🇦🇺
Swearing has never been sexier.
Comedy? The tories consider it a blueprint.
@@BadgerUKvideo omg Capaldi.
"In The Loop" led me to "In the Thick of It". Hilarious
Got to love Malcolm Tucker and his marzipan dildo.
Armando is the embodiment of when women say that funny men are sexy, regardless of looks. They have to be at ease with themselves and not grandstand, either. Delightful man.
Maybe. I find it annoying that men don't have the decency to view women in the same way. As a result, men are not a great catch.
@@ellie-tk4jy I can't say "maybe", because I can say with confidence that men find funny women sexy, regardless of looks.
Not every man thinks "she's funny, therefore sexy, but that doesn't mean I want to sleep with her, therefore she's not sexy"...
A lot of funny - especially clever funny - is 'sexy'.
We CAN be a catch...
If you'll just give us a chance and stop fucking moaning
🤣😘🙏🏽
He's THE comedic genius of our time. His "The Armando Iannucci Shows" is absolutely incredible personal piece of work.
That show was wonderful.
@@GregorBarclay and barely anybody knows about it, sadly
I'm over here
Up there with my favourites of all time. Somebody kindly uploaded them all to TH-cam. Dunno if it's official, but more eyes gets more recognition of this great man!
th-cam.com/play/PLxDPfc90nJPv19LbND3prwtE-IoADtqJc.html
Hello Hugh!!
I like him. One of those people you'd love to hang out with and have a beer. Seems like an amazing storyteller.
All Glaswegians are like that. Billy Connolly is from Glasgow.....
Armando is without doubt in my mind the best comedy writer to come out of Scotland for decades. Glad to see him continuing to make people think and laugh.
Not just Scotland!
@@scottb32a what other country did he come from?
@@goawaytours I mean best in the world not just the best in scotland !
Yeh he's your best writer.
Billy Connolly anyone?
His episode of The Off-Menu Podcast with Ed Gamble and James Acaster was soo good
Did he choose POPPADOMS or BREAD ?
Kudos to Stephen for mentioning the Day Today.
Oh boy, now I have to rewatch all the thick of it clips again.
Armando Ianucci and Peter Capaldi both up in the same part of Glasgow - in fact the families knew each other for years.
Springburn has every right to be extremely proud of both of them.
Like to drop in on The Late Show and enjoy it from UK now and again, but sorry - can’t help this - what a morning treat bonus seeing Armando Ianucci on it. He is just a genius. I urge anyone to seek out his projects - not just the well known ones he is behind, but his own performances from years ago on UK tv and BBC radio. Pure Mr. Satire of both politics and life.
Friday Night Armistice, The Armando Iannucci show, so much wonderful stuff. I'm glad he's worked up to Veep and beyond so others can see what a bloody marvel he is.
I'm the guy who 'woos' in the crowd at The Day Today and The Thick Of It - made my holiday that he was the guest on the show, loved his work since On The Hour on BBC Radio 4 in 1991!
@@willgoodey9570 I wonder what Mr. Tony Blair is up to these days. And that Michael Jackson skit set in the church still cracks me up to this day.
If you haven't seen The Thick of It you should definitely watch it. In some ways it has even more brutal dialogue than Veep..
in almost every way, Malcolm tucker is terrifying and hilarious
the armando iannucci show was short lived but one of the funniest things ive ever seen
Bricktop the gangster repairman - amazing
He's absolutely right about the furniture in the State Department. I interviewed for a job there back in the 1990s, and it's shocking how the place looks like a barely-maintained poor district elementary school in the 1970s. The floor tiles were cracked and looked like they had been there since the war (1812, not WW2). The paint was that sickly green that you see in TV shows set in the 1950s. Everything gave the impression that no money was spent on maintaining the office building and you worried that you migth be breathing asbestos with every breath. Shocking.
I don't know if I should laugh or cry. 🤣🤣
There are loads of government buildings like that, don't want people to think we spent any money on this important thing. I think it's supposed to counter egos of people working there. Doesn't necessarily work. 😄
Dont they realise that the surroundings affect not just the morale of the workers but thence their productivity and effectiveness. Cheapskates.
@@helenamcginty4920 Yeah, if only Donald Jesus Trump were still running things, he'd have all of those chairs and desks gold-plated.
There's a nice gift shop in the DC state department - they sign you in at the front desk and then you are left to wander the halls looking for it, mingling with office workers in the corridors - the shop is very deep inside and nobody seems to care that if you walk about.... Crazy really!
Awesome guest. Needed way more time. Avenue 5 is hilarious and I am so glad it's back.
Avenue 5 was brilliant. im so glad its back. Ianucci is a comedy genius. love him.
Ianucci is a legend.
Interview was too short! The Thick of It is absolute genius 👏👏👏👏
Veep is my favourite political comedy followed by the Thick of It. So many memorable quotes in these shows.
ME TOO!
Nobody ever mentiones the movie.
@@JohnnyZenith In The Loop. Great movie.
There's a line from The Death of Stalin that I've been getting a lot of mileage in these days, now that we're living in the Upside Down: I've had nightmares that made more sense than this. Brilliant movie.
Best film I've seen in years. Genius stuff.
Lol that movie is nuts and yes so brilliant
Death of Stalin was our family holiday post-dinner cinema outing during A/W of 2017.
Oh Liz is a real piece of work. Anyone who gets that excited about pork markets needs to be kept an eye on.
David Cameron famously got excited by pork
@@seosamhrosmuc And then inflicted brexit on the country, which still puts him ahead of TrussBot in terms of damage.
Liz Truss is a figment of Christopher Luxon's imagination
@@Tao_Tology Give her time, give her time.
@@chezmoi42 There is not enough time, lo until the heat death of the universe, for truss to out do her predecessors.
Although it might be close.
As always, excellent entertainment.
Armando is a brilliant writer, I recently watched The Personal History of David Copperfield, a very funny film with a superb cast that includes Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, Benedict Wong and Peter Capaldi. Loved it!
I saw the early trailers for that & was eagerly awaiting cinema release. Then Covid hit 😭
@@mercygrrl Over here in the UK I got the Blu-ray for just a couple of pounds, not only is it very funny but the production design is sumptuous. Well worth a purchase.
Proud to say he is a fellow Scot.
Not only is Armando the genius behind so much of the best comedy over the last 30 years. He’s got perfect comedic delivery as well. I always felt he could have worked on screen as well more but it seems he’s found his preferred path. He’s more than capable on being on screen….may explain why more people don’t recognize this comedy master.
We can't forget his work on the Saturday Night/Friday Night Armistice on BBC 2 back in the 90s
I haven't seen Veep but this guy is a legend in the UK, I'm so glad he gets such level of recognition in America.
To bad this was so short. I really enjoyed this interview.
Love this show, love you Stephen Colbert, but my hat has to be tipped, no, actually come off my head for Louis Cato introducing Armando Iannucci with the great and wonderful, late Chick Corea's, Armando's Rhumba! Nobody will know what the hell I'm talking about. I must calm down.
watch the Armando Ianucci show he made years ago, it's superb! Also, Alan Partridge is up there with the best work he's done. Alan was funniest when it was Steve Coogan and Armando doing him
We need him to make a new season of The Thick of It.
It's impossible, the current reality is more absurd than any satire.
I thought they were showing that instead of the news nowadays
First season of Avenue 5 was one of the scariest thing I saw in my lifetime...
I was watching it at the beginning of 2020 and slowly everything went to shit. Just as in real life I could see everything going to shit with COVID.I was born on friday 13th and horror movies don't really scare me anymore... but I fell asleep terrified every time I watched the new episode of Avenue 5
thank you :)
Scary movies are only fun on the TV, not in real life. Avenue 5 did me a number feeling that everything is going to h,.. It was too close to home where everything felt being broken down. Couldn’t watch it,..
Been a fan of his since The Mary Whitehouse Experience on BBC Radio 1 all of 30+ years back!
This!
From the audience it’s clear the US isn’t as familiar with Armando as us Brits but I gotta tell you guys this guy is a genius. Please don’t steal him from us 😂
A key part of political and comedic education in the UK is watching The Thick of It and learning what a force of nature Malcolm Tucker (and Peter Capaldi's performance) is. Along with the best insults known to man. Veep wouldn't exist without it.
Armando!!!! What a hero! Bring him back on Stevie C!🙏
Him and Chris Morris would be at the ultimate dinner party table....
the Death of Stalin is one of my all-time favourite movies..historically accurate and screamingly funny..
You should have given this guy more time
Thank you for Veep & Avenue 5 🤣😂🤣😂😂
I ask Americans to watch The Day Today on TH-cam, all six episodes are uploaded. It was made in early 1994, and it is a true spoof of television news, you will love it. Americans don't have to think it too British, as it mocks and makes fun of TV news in general. Please watch it.
7 minutes felt like 30 seconds. we need more
"That proved unpopular..."
But only with the majority of people, and you know they don't have the best interests of the ruling class at heart.
And they're so.........poor.
A true great of modern comedy
Amazing talented writer
New season? Excellent!
Stephen & Armando!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This interview should have been an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring Armando back! :)😀
one of the finest political comedians and satirists the Uk has ever produced.
Hes hysterical 😂
The Captain-not-Captain role sounds like a perfect fit for Hugh Laurie's Imposter Syndrome! Excellent casting!
Also sounds a lot like his roles in Blackadder haha
Liz couldn’t manage a fortnight without causing chaos. Imagine a year of her! 😱
Well, clearly! Liz’s first act as PM was to whisper to the Queen, _”There can only be ONE.”_ We saw what happened after that. 🤷♂️
You are going to have to explain what a fortnight is as Americans have no idea. Take a week or 2.
A year... or two.
Ten days of which were the period of National Mourning, so 'normal politics' were suspended. Our National Catastrussphe could only begin after that. When we'll get back to normal politics is anyone's guess.
@ Organon
Stephen Colbert is culturally literate; not all Americans are parochial.
Statistically, Americans are only one IQ point behind Brits.
(P.S. This reply was written by an American who knows what "fortnight" means.)
I NEED MORE AVENUE 5!!!
First ever Armandu Iannucci interview & they limit to one break! 😢
You couldn't make The Thick Of It today.....Noone would believe the British government could be so competent.
Please only interview Armando Iannucci for the remainder of the year. He is the smartest man on television, and has been for twenty-five years.
Love Avenue 5!!!
I grew up watching his stuff, as a londoner it's very much our humour. If you. An access all4, you can go back in time 20+ years to his earlier shows. You're welcome.
I load up The Thick of It at least once a year. No one, NO ONE, says "f*ck" like Peter Capaldi!!
Love the guy
Can you think of anyone that would be more fun for an afternoon conversation at a pub, any pub, than Armando Iannucci? ("Afternoon" meaning until closing time.)
I may be biased because we're both Scottish, but Armando is a genius.
I completely forgot he wrote and directed Death to Stalin. That film is as equally brilliant as it is dark, while also being incredibly educational. I highly recommend it for the performances alone, but the story is jarring to say the least.
If you want to see something else by Mr. Iannucci that's a wee bit lighter, I'd recommend the Personal History of David Copperfield. Equally entertaining, but less psyche scarring.
The Queen's last service to the nation was giving us 10 extra days before Liz Truss began implementing her vision for our future.
The Friday/Saturday Night Armistice is still a classic in my book.
Agree - one of my Armando favs
We need him over here in the UK, our current Government is such good material.
Genius. Pure genius......
armando is a genius & like all geniuses he is scottish & fiercely proud of the fact which was shown in 'the thick of it' by having the 'worst' characters both being scottish, you need the accent to make the most out of the expletives in the script, to justify their use & get the best vocal sttack of just the word 'fuck' in all it's derivations you need a scots accent, we use the word for far more than any other language or dialect in everyday speech that the word loses it's meaning most of the time but can be wielded like a weapon when needed, just watch any scene with peter capaldi ' malcolm tucker'(who once played in an art school punk band with craig ferguson) & his scottish compatriot 'jamie mcdonald' played brilliantly by paul higgans. the tucker character made the whole series but didn't stop capaldi playing 'dr who' for several years. you can see the 'scottish hand' in veep which is missing from the american version of the office which doesn't appeal to the british ear like the original gervais version, despite him being involved in the american production.
Very cool
Anyone else clock that the band played Armando's Rhumba as he came out 😄
The Thick of it is so brilliant. Now that I know Veep is by him, I'll watch.
One of the best name
The best comedy writer of all time, and this is the piss poor reception in the US! 🤣
Band plays Amandos Rhumba, nice!
I gotta admit, I did not think Avenue 5 was funny at first, but I can hardly wait for the new episodes now.
Same. Give the cast and writers, I expected it to be funnier, but I'm not giving it up on it. I'll watch anything Armando Iannucci puts out
Truss went to the Conservative party conference, spoke with lots of MPs who said they wouldn't vote her reforms through Parliament, and then dressed the U-Turn up as listening to the people.
Well, she listened to *some* people - the ones who'll cheerfully cut her throat if she *doesn't* listen to them.
Clearly he doesn’t know what type of genius he has on his show. This man is a living comedy legend. I felt he was undercut here, not sure why.
I really believe that The Thick of It is the finest TV programme ever, and you know what? Probably the best *thing* ever too!
I loved "The Death of Stalin"!
That single person cheering for The Thick of It. You guys should listen to that guy he's a scholar
omg he's so cute & adorable!
You could have Armando on for the whole show and I'd still be hoping for him to be announced for tomorrow night too.
I wish he’d update us on Larry the 10 Downing cat. 🐈🐈⬛
Yeah that therapist in 2019 made a reference to my Armondo in the hospital. I’m glad that pseudo-hospital situation is finally getting the serious attn it deserves.
Let’s ask SCOTUS if those things are legal if we call them art too.
Aramando Ianucci is great. Not enough time there. The Day Today is a masterpiece of satire.
I think more and more of the most incisive, penetrating analysis of the current" body politic " in the USA is being achieved by comedy writers and performers like in part, the night-time shows of course ( Colbert & Kimmel and until his departure from "The Daily show", Trevor to name but the most successful. )
suddenly the UK market shrunk by 700 million so yeah that was such a great idea
From radio to TV , The day today , Brass eye to Alan Partridge etc to Veep , Death of Stalin and so many great comedies , one of the UKs greatest comedic minds , although , wasn’t that impressed with the first season of his space sitcom , was sort of meh .. Hugh Lorrie is always worth a watch though .
You mean Hugh Lorry.
@@jaybuck5818 ... no Laurie 👍
A brilliant Brit with an Italian name. You don't see that everyday.
Respectfully, that’s not quite true. I can think of many brilliant Scots of Italian descent off the top of my head ...
Peter Capaldi
Paolo Nutini
Nicola Benedetti
Tom Conti
Eduardo Paolozzi
Dario Franchitti
As Craig said, there’s a large Italian diaspora in Scotland, and for some reason they seem to own all our chippies (fish and chip shops)! There were two chippies in the town in which I grew up and both were owned/run by Italian families. Lovely fish and chips, too.
It’s the same with ice cream shops here - all Italian! Not that I’m complaining; they certainly know their ice cream.
Please can one of our American friends capture Armando and return him to the UK. We need him to write us more ‘The Thick of It’.
Goddamn national treasure!
Bona fide comedy genius.
If you have not watched in the the think of it - get on that. It’s genius.
So Avenue 5 is Gilligan's Island in space. Is there a Thurston Howell lll on board?
