@ChristopherDone "The 2000 Year Old Man" is a stand up comedy routine by Mel Brooks. I imagine that subject came up when Ricky Gervais was talking about Jewish comedy. The 2000 Year Old Man is the perfect example of Jewish comedy.
Pretty cool. A couple of comedy giants casually talking shop... If I got the death penalty for being too serious, these are the two that could laugh me to death.
Loved watching this interview. Thanks for the upload. They are both fucking brilliant. And yeah, Larry loosened up his leisure suit with Gervais. Interesting insights from both sides into life in general really.
this was wonderful! i love larry david and i love ricky gervais too! both of them together are amazing and so funny!!! thank you so much for posting this anteatr23!
How can he not be familiar with the 2000 year old man? It is a classic Rob Reiner and Mel Brooks act. I am a bit disheartened by this. I think that Ricky Gervais is an OK comedian, not knowing this bit is bad. It is fundamental to modern comedy.
This interview was so much more enjoyable to watch than the Gary Shandling one-wow. What a difference - Larry David is so bright and much less egotisitcal than Shandling. Amazing when you consider that he has so much more to be proud of than Shandling. The rapport and flow of conversation was much better.
I would love to se them collaborate on a episode of curb.. I think mutual respect is the best kind... Thanks for putting it on youtube, brilliant really!
really great to see two such highly intelligent people speaking honestly about their craft - these are the two funniest people on the planet, but they seem like just average joe's on the face of it, and they're so humble, which i guess is intrinsic to the whole art - i'm actually walking away from this feeling maybe i could write comedy, even though i'm sure after about an hour of trying i'd realize i'm an idiot
@Pontusky There is going to be a special coming out soon called Talking Funny and its Ricky Gervais, Louis CK, Jerry Seinfeld, and Chris Rock basically just sitting around talking about comedy. Should be really great.
@2112murphy It's true Andrew Sachs hasn't done much TV acting the past 30 years (starred in failed sitcom Every Silver Lining), but there are 10s of 1000s of excellent actors out of work. Don't knock narrating. For nobodies it pays £40-50/hr; for names it's VERY lucrative. Anthony Head has done it a lot, including many Dr Who Confidentials & Torchwood Declassifieds. Sachs does that, audio books & commercials. So does Stephen Fry; its not a comedown.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
IMHO Peter Key is better than Gervais. Gervais makes me laugh. But Kay has my sides hurting. YT Phoenix Nights. Brilliant series. Some viewers will need a translator ;-)
Peter Kay is probably a better character actor than Gervais, so is steve Coogan. Stewart Lee is probably a better standup than Gervais and Armando Iannucci is probably a better writer. Russell Brand is a better performer, and Operation Good Guys was probably a better "mockumentary" than The Office.
But all-round Gervais is the best thing to happen to British comedy in about 30 years, those guys couldn't do half of what he's done. Thats why he's achieved global recognition.
most of the stuff ricky gervais has done without steve merchant is shit (excluding his stand up) look at ghost town or the invention of lying i bet cemetary junction will be good
it's true, even his stand up is lacking somthing. its not on the same level as like the office an stuff. steve merchant definatly needs more credit thn he gets.
that may be in your opinion but you can't say it's groudbreaking comedy, a lot of the jokes were broad aimed at a pg-13 audience and was ultimately doomed to fail
I just saw somebody say please work together, these are probably my two favourite comedians period. I can't believe I didn't consider that...
That would be something special. They really could create something fucking incredible. I'm gonna write to them both begging them lmao just in the miarculous chance it may happen.
Can you imagine, they're both masters of playing with the social fopar and Gervais especially at ultra-cringe... It would be utter hilarity.
They can respect each other and each others work and get along very well IRL all they want, but to work together there has to be real production chemistry y'know? I just wish they would do something together too.
They are both masters of comedy. If they were to work together it would have to be organic, otherwise it would end up being disastrous. It couldn't be contrived because it wouldn't be authentic and they would be butting heads. David is typically light and gervais is dark, I could see that becoming a huge problem if they shared creative control.
I have a newfound respect for both larry david and ricky gervais after watching this interview, both are superstars yet average blokes. Nothin but genius in this series.

@2112murphy It's true Andrew Sachs hasn't done much TV acting the past 30 years (starred in failed sitcom Every Silver Lining), but there are 10s of 1000s of excellent actors out of work. Don't knock narrating. For nobodies it pays £40-50/hr; for names it's VERY lucrative. Anthony Head has done it a lot, including many Dr Who Confidentials & Torchwood Declassifieds. Sachs does that, audio books & commercials. So does Stephen Fry; its not a comedown.
