Ricky Gervais Meets Garry Shandling (pt. 5 of 5)

This elusive interview went so poorly that Gervais canceled the rest of the series. Feel free to note your favorite awkward moment in the comments section below.

Fun fact: This series is exec. produced by Peep Show exec. producer Andrew O'Connor.

How disappointing for Ricky. It was fairly obvious that whatever Gary popped prior to the interview, was kickin' in rather heavily towards the end. I too used to love him, but he just strikes me as another sad casualty of Hollywood all laughed out. Clearly Rickys' anxiety on the way there was well justified... Maybe hero worship is better done from afar??

"Really? That's your straight look?"

This was fucking hilarious! Thanks for the upload :)

@ballaratmat I think it just flew over your head. Subtle comedy is subtle.

@WhoElseButRada He wasn't trying to be funny. Garry is one of the most clever comedians of our time... He's just recently began to figure out that he doesn't need to put on a show impress people.

@llteejay Seriously a very stupid point. First of all Gervais makes light of almost all taboo subjects in his stand up (Disabled people, dwarfs, gays, religion, necrophilia etc...). Have you looked at the population of jews in england? They are a small minority, meaning there are far less jewish actors... he also didn't cast many indian or chinese people? does that mean he hates them? no it doesn't.

At 0:24 he's speaking directly to Ricky.

@ERoBB1

that was the funniest bit

It's such a shame this interview went so badly, because there are occasional glimpses of Shandling being really funny, like you feel there is potential for this to be great, but it never quite gets going. Shame, really.

If I had a desert Island choice, I'd pick Ricky.
