Ricky Gervais Extended Interview With Kerry O'Brien 1/2

Having seen a three second clip of this on a promo for Kerry O'Brien's farewell program, I went and found it on the abc website. This is an excellent, well-researched interview, as has been typical of Kerry O'Brien throughout his career.

Gervais even turns up in a suit, which is a pretty rare thing indeed.

I love how the producers thought 'He's English, so we MUST put him in front of a badly drawn cardboard Houses of Parliament.'

when you pause it at 0:00 ricky looks like a lesbian.

[bensimps123]

@PiskieBenWa well yeah but most lesbians look like that

[PiskieBenWa]

@bensimps123 I think you mean Bull Dyke?

[dmerfield]

@fatmikeshishero Don't forget the pinstripe suit.

[NickLiang]

God the interviewer is dull.........

[WorldGoonSquad]

Wow, please don't let this guy interview comedians ever again.

[c0rse]

Wow, how did this guy not recognise the sarcasm? He's usually a brilliant interviewer, but I don't think he's got sense of humour enough to interview Ricky.

@masrurkhan fuck,i really dont like starting flame wars over the internet cause i think its lame. but you sir, are a moron. i did NOT compare Ricky or Stephen to Russell, i was referring to a comment made by Ricky where he says theres no place for cool in comedy, But Russell Brand is a comedian and yet extremely cool and sexy and yet funny.In general i love Ricky And Stephen's work as well as most of Russell's and wouldn't bother to compare them because they are both great.

[masrurkhan]

@CrazyPersonified You compared Russell Brand to Ricky gervais, you must be dillusional. Anything Ricky and Stephen Merchant have done is much better than everything Russell has done..

[CrazyPersonified]

no one wants to see unfeasably handsome people doing things brilliantly...no place for machisma, or cool or sex appeal in comedy....

cut to russell brand.

you stand corrected.

[Avidcomp]

Just adding my pennies worth to the rest that have noticed... what a terrible humourless interviewer. 05:22 - not as excruciating as you Kerry. How has this guy got a job?
