Oh I love EVERYTHING about Reginald! His voice, his demeanour and his comedy. Definitely one of my all time favourite guests on WILTY and your chemistry together is grand!
I'm an American and the only time I've ever seen Reginald "Delicious" Hunter is when he was on Would I Lie To You on Britbox years after it aired! I immediately liked him and hoped to see him again. He exudes an innate charm. Thanks for this interview to catch up with what he's been doing.
charming, sure. funny, nope.
@@StanleyKubick1 comedy is subjective ☺️
That's my story as well! Was just wondering what happened to him.
@@joshua.910 Also, some people are just wrong. ;)
@Fide Logos There are a bunch of Reginald "Delicious" Hunter's videos on YT, for example:
_Reginald D Hunter compares racism in the UK to the US_ th-cam.com/video/kg6CTFwOalc/w-d-xo.html HIGNFY
_Reginald D Hunter on Batman (fixed audio)_ th-cam.com/video/8l1PMVvfjDM/w-d-xo.html HIGNFY
_Reginald D Hunter live at Róisín Dubh_ th-cam.com/video/__xSchLFwMU/w-d-xo.html Stand-up
There are a some close 10 minutes, including the last one, but a lot are shorter.
He recently did an interview _Reginald D. Hunter On His Journey To Becoming A Comedian_ th-cam.com/video/x-Bq7mL-i10/w-d-xo.html
HIGNFY - 'Have I Got News For You', a TV comedy panel show 'reviewing' the weeks news (a bit like "Wait, Wait, don't tell me")
Best Wishes. ☮
He seems like such a humble, kind, charismatic guy. Very underrated.
Gotta love Reg! One of the greats in my opinion.
Rob Brydon has chemistry with everyone - that's why we love him - but the chemistry was particularly strong with Mr Hunter, which made this interview both hilarious and touching.
Brydon is on the best way to become a national treasure. He is one of those people you can throw into everything, he'd even be able to charm his way out of a remote jungle.
I couldn't disagree more. Having listened to his other Spotify interviews this was s very stilted conversation with a lot of forced laughter. Altogether more superficial than the majority of his other guests. Apart from Reginald's appearance on WILTY on TV, Rob doesn't appear to know him personally. Eg, toured together etc. Rob's best interviews tend to be the ones where he knows the guest and/or he has a genuine interest in them which leads to more in depth questions and where he feels comfortable enough to express his sense of humour. This vibe, to me, wasn't present in this interview with Reginald. He has a different sense of humour to Rob.
If you listen for example to the interview with Martine McCutcheon you might see what I mean. Tamsin Greig was another interview that comes to mind where Rob was having to try harder.
@@camera2painting Maybe it was forced but if so, he's a great actor and I was totally drawn in.

Rob’s interviews are great, but I thought this was one of the less interesting ones.
Reginald is one of, if not my favourite comedians currently! So stocked that he’s on your show!!!!
Love the show. Love Reginald D. style of humor. Britain's gain was America's loss.
Fantastic. He has the British sarcasm down to a tee unlike most American 'comedians'. Love his energy and thanks for reminding me it is worth fighting onwards
Love Delicious. Absolutely great interview this one. Get him back on wilty. You don't often see Lee Mack trying to suppress uncontrollable laughter like that. Love it Rob.
Rob’s always got his finger firmly on the pulse!
Reg has always seemed so down to earth, respectful and respectable. Great conversation
He killed it down the Glee Club in Cardiff, was a great night.
I mainly know him from guest spots on panel shows, where he usually steals the show with the best jokes. He says things so straight but with a hint of humour and it's hilarious. He also has a great laugh.
What a joy this was!
That was lovely. Thank you.
I'm in the US, and I swear... To see all my favorite comedians from my own country, I have to travel to the UK. Reg, Rich Hall, Stewart Francis...
Okay, the last one is a Canadian, but it's America's hat so it still counts.
Laughed out so loud at this one! 😂
Approx 3 or 4 years ago I was chatting via DM with Reg on Twitter. We'd had quite a few meaningful discussions, then he said to me, "Bob, can I talk to you, I want to ask you about which direction my career should take" --- Then Reg sent me his mobile number, I phoned him a couple of times, and told him what I thought. ( which shall remain private ) He was then and still is now a very gracious humble man, with his own unique style of humour. It would be good to talk to him again some time! All the best my friend! You rock!! 🥰🤠😂😎
What a delightful and insightful interview, but aw...I'm one of the wholesome audience who hasn't heard you tell your pub story and would like to!
One of the best interviews, if not the best, so far in this wonderful series. I do not know anything about this man but will now research his work. Thank you for an enjoyable timeout from life's demands.
Please pass our love and respect on to #ReginaldDHunter and cheers for uploading pet
Top bloke is Reg lucky that the comedy bug bit him and he decided to stay in the UK for us to enjoy his gift.
Reg D Hunter legend! 🤣🤣
Always look forward to Rob's podcasts! 😎🎸🤘
Oh man, I love Brydon's style on these interviews, and it's so obvious that these two know and love eachother a lot.. But also Reginald is just such a star, his 'down-home-folksy' style, using americanisms that are so direct, eg his cousin who's a major love 'em and leave 'em type of guy "You just do what you gotta do" being the advice, when he asked how he could sort his life out and pay for the kids...
I would love to see Richard Herring, Rob Newman and Adam Buxton on your podcast as well as Greg Davies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think it would be hard to fit them all in frame
Reginald D. Hunter is the MAN!
Love to go to the South of America with Mr hunter would be an eye opener, and Rob should ha e a massive TV show doing these interviews, brilliant
i think what his mother said to him as he left was beautiful. This interview was not the best I have seen from Rob or Reg. Great artist both love their work!
I love you Rob Brydon and Reginald
Ta Rob, you pick the best folks 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️
Thank you!¡! That was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love to Reginald from Mexico 💕
Absolutely brilliant always love you both, top top comedy
I love Reginald Delicious Hunter! Is WILTY still making new series? He's gotta come back on if so. 😃
Loved this! Great interview, very natural 😀
Reg, you're my favourite Yank. 🙏🏴☠️
A very likeable person as well as being a funny guy.
Absolutely brilliant
"This is my mate... Bit of a twat." 🤣🤣🤣
"You know what you do!"
This was great..always liked Reginald..very funny interview as well!
Reg seems such a nice genuine bloke and very funny. And I'll always think his middle name is Delicious, even if it's supposedly a lie. :)
In addition to Would I Lie to You? He has also been a laugh riot in his appearances in Have I got News for You?
This is just amazing sharing your emotions with you mam ......just AMAZING :)
Rob, another great interview with a great guest. I would love it if you could interview as Uncle Bryn, that would be hilarious !!
Very warm chat. I always wonder if the comedians that come here from overseas and make it big like Reginald, Henning Wehn, and Catherine Ryan, are as well known and loved in their own countries? But what I wonder most is what 'D' stands for?
I'm from the U.S., so I can't speak for the other 2, but I found Reginald D. Hunter watching British shows on TH-cam. I don't think anyone here really knows him. It's too bad. They're missing out. By the way, it would be great if the "D" actually did stand for delicious! Supposedly it's the kind of name that helps a guy get a good job! Lol
Wehn isn't a name in Germany. At least not on a national level. There are many reasonably successful local comedians, especially around the carnevale equator, which are lesser known in other parts. Which isn't unusual for comedians over here as the different regions have a different humour. Few comedians are able to master getting laughs everywhere while not letting their act get too broad.
Often german comedians are radio moderators rather than tv personalities (radio operates more often on state level, tv is mainly federally organized).
But Wehn does english comedy anyway, tailored for english audiences. A big part of his persona is to be German, which wouldn't get that many laughs in Germany.
@@Schmidtelpunkt Yeah, a big part of his shtick is playling up British stereotypes of Germans, which is hardly going to land for a German audience.
I'm fairly sure he gave a jokey answer to what the 'D' stands for in one of his QI appearances. It was really funny.
BTW, the real answer is Darnell.
@@Elwaves2925 I suspected it might be a stage name but now I know. Cheers
Lovely talk.
So proud that Reginald D. Hunter is an American export. 🇺🇸
I wish Reginald was on TV more. I really enjoyed his docu series on the BBC.
This was brilliant
Reginald D Hunter is a awesome hanmam, anytime he does a TV show or does comedy stand up I will watch.
Wonderful :-)
Awesome interview. Silly... but awesome!!! :)
Superb!
Reg is fantastic!!
Should've introduced him with his proper name of Reginald Delicious Hunter of course
Nice interview!
I've been trying to get the number 420 (likes) on youtube videos for 12 months thankyou Rob. also great podcast
RDH has the most beautiful hands. Capable and expressive.
Reg's story of his first gig?
I was on tour with a show on the other side of the country when I had a Pager message (it was a while ago) came from our P.A. back home.
"Ring your brother. Your father is dead."
So, what to do?
The show must go on!
He the Man...!
He said a pub in Birmingham Rob, not London
Yes!!
Reginald Delicious Hunter 😳👀
Great chat.
Would love Paul Foot on one of these.
Only ever seen him on QI but brilliant every time.
I am so intrigued by Reg, and his mother must've been one IRON LADY.... dang...!
Good stuff
Love you Reg d
Great interview. Very bubbly and charming throughout. Just skimmed the comments, did no one else feel some genuine tension at the very end tho? 😮
no thats part of his stand up about Brits and sub text
I so wish Rob would introduce him as Reginald Delicious Hunter 😆
ah beautiful!
He vanished off the tele, I love the guy.
Reg the ledge!
Hey Reginald!!! Have you named any of your shows "Delicious"? If not, You should. ❤️ ya from Michigan, USA! 💋
I want to know which pub it was in Brum when he did his first standup?....I used to live and work in Brum so I'm interested in that....
The D stands for Delicious.
I was just trying to think what name he gave on QI for another comment here. If only I'd scrolled down a little.
Glad I'm not the only one that remembers that hilarious bit.
Reginald Delicious Hunter!
The "D" stands for delicious. 😂🤣
So funny
I want to know why Reginald seems to have disappeared from british TV. Has he moved away or something?
Man gets named Reginald and he's pretty much destined to move to England
I'm not watching the video, I'm just here for the delicious comments.
Reg could always act like a comedian.............oh..............yes, I see :D
Reginald’s voice sounds just like American ‘telephone prank call comedian’ Willie P. Richardson’s.
Renumeration? Remuneration l think Rob.
Ironic to hear them bang on about "when you're feeling bad do something to make others feel good, don't focus on you", then in the next breath he talks about his Mum refusing to hug him as she's sulking because he's following his own life path. Maybe tell Mum to stop being self indulgent and think of others.
Ahhh..reg 'delicious' hunter..😊
You put a right tragic spin on the idea of touring Rob. Don't put him off!
He's like a funny Lenny Henry
The D in his name stands for Delicious
Is it just me or is Reginald D. Hunter the most kickass anime name ever?
Reginald 'Delicious' Hunter.
He sounds like 50cent
See if he knows when he will achieve that goal.
Don't make me respect you, Brydon!
Why are the complete interviews only on spotify? That’s so annoying.
mORE CHUCKLE BROTHERS!
That's what separate,s Billy Connolly from everyone else different show every night twice most days for 50 years.
Is this delicious?
Hello Reginald D Hunter……… Mate…….. you will never know what it meant to this ADULT HUMAN FEMALE that was watching you in Bristol a few weeks ago when you stood up for women!!!!!

It was the highlight of my night when you let it be known you know what a woman is……I did a happy little jig….. no one else knew, but I did. I know I sent a tweet telling you about this , however, I wanted others to know and to let you know again 💪💪💪💪 good luck in Edinburgh. X x x x
