@@palumbex But they pronounce a bow like baw. Different words, different pronounciations, so, comparing doesn't make sense. I've always heard British folk (on the BBC at least) pronounce Bowie's name as 'Ba-wee'.
Ricky Gervais is really good but I think saying he's up there with John Cleese is a bit too far of a stretch that's thats like me saying David Bowie is up there with Michael Jackson, i mean hell no their 2 completely different people, they both sing but nobody will ever reach MJ's level nobody ever!! and Ricky Gervais won't ever reach John Cleese's level like i say he's great but John is in a league of his own.
@@MR.ICE. That's a good point I agree, who would u say have surpassed MJ? I would say Justin Timberlake cuz he does everything makes great music can dance really well has got good moves, but then again Usher has got all those qualities too and Jason Derulo but maybe their music isn't up there either with Justin's so yea its tough to say.
I saw his last full show at Hurricane 2004. It was amazing. We didn't have smartphones, our mobile phones were turned off for the weekend to have enough juice for emergency calls. So when the news came through the next morning, we were completely shocked and on edge because it so slowly came together piece by piece, and we didn't know if he would live.
One of the best audio experiences I think I've ever had was watching The Martian, (which incidentally, Chiwatel was in), at the local IMAX when Bowie's 'Starman' started playing. The sound was breathtaking and took listening to that song to another level.
I'm all for that. Great story, Ricky's touched, David Bowie was one of the greatest modern artist. But are we all just gonna ignore that completely randomly, Salman Rushdie is there too?!
It's nice to finally see Ricky Gervais having an emotional moment! He's always rude jokes & all with no boundaries but I'm glad I finally got to see him being a humble human for a second.
Ricky Gervais used to be in a band called Seona Dancing. I remember them because my friend was a huge Bowie fan. The group did okay, but they had one major issue. They were too much like Bowie for Bowie fans and too much like Bowie for people who didn't like Bowie. The influence was clear as day. Their biggest hit was Bitter Heart which is not only brilliant but Ricky sounded a lot like his hero. They had a massive hit in the Philipines with their debut record 'More To Lose' which was seen as a kind of theme for youthful revolution. If you see pictures of Ricky back in the day he was a proper new wave pretty boy.
Mr. Gervais - once again you have impressed me once again! Your comedy is hysterical, your love of pets is admirable and heartwarming - and now I find out you’re a major David Bowie fan who got to meet him?!?! You’re the epitome of what any woman wants - someone just like you!
Bowie, you'll always be in my heart. Thanks for the early and charming goofy stuff then something like Black Country Rock, in fact the whole of MWSW lp and every other that I don't listen to as much as I kind of should. Everything you did was so calming yet angry at the point of principle and your journey took many of us with you. I'm sorry but I do believe in angels.
It was a sad day for me when I heard David Bowie passed away. I heard him the first time when I was around 17 in 1975... and the only live concert I ever took the time to go to was that of David Bowie somewhere in 1984 (I'm not sure) in Offenbach, Germany.
Watched the Extras very recently, did not expect to be so good. Office was awesome but enjoyed this exactly the same. Became quite a fan of ricky and stephen. Was thinking to start Derek, any opinions? First episode was ok I guess
That's hilarious that Bowie's last performance was "Chubby Little Loser"🤣🤣🤣. I know someone is about to tell me that Bowie performed other songs that night, but let me have my little fantasy.
I’ve always respected how Bowie kept his illness private and only between his closest family and friends. He was a man about it. It just completely tarnishes a career when celebrities live their life like an open wound in their dying days.
In an interview, Ricky said that he always pronounced it that way and when he found out the actual pronunciation, he just carried on saying it the way he's used too.
I'm a little confused about Ricky's claim and his statement regarding the first time he met Bowie. I thought he was in the Ashes to Ashes video along with Steve Strange which was 1980?

This is the first time I'm seeing Ricky get emotional on TV
it really shows how much Bowie was adored by everyone !
RIP Bowie
Joy banerjee exactly what I was thinking
You'd think he'd learn to pronounce his name though.
@@palumbex It's how the British pronounce it amigo. Like Ba-wee.
@@JimmyRJump It's not. It's how some British people mispronounce it. No one in England calls a hoe a how.

You can see he still misses his friend never seen Ricky look like this before bless him
I met David Bowie in Westwood California. He was utterly magical, infectious. I felt my creative juices simply fizz in his presence.
I hope you cleaned up after yourself.
I wish I had the chance to meet him.
You need a life 🤣👍
juices fizzing? Steady on, lad ;-)
Alright keep it PG
You can still see the deep love that Gervais have for the Legendary Bowie!!
Bowie.. how much we miss you.. Ricky Gervais said ' an artist till the end ' how many artists could be that 🖤
Paul McCartney
@@raghuvansh1293 If only he could sing in tune, he's done nothing of note for decades...
Creative juices mixed with a profound sense of reality. An unrecognised philosopher. His lyrics, just as his awesome music styles seem genuine to me
Every body loves and respects Bowie's work what a genius of a man he was I listen to his music every day
Ricky looks really emotional talking about Bowie.
The Bowie episode of Extras is hands down the best one; it is the very definition of Comedy.
In no way is that the best one. Bowie's cameo is hilarious but it only lasts for a few minutes and it definitely wasn't the best cameo of the show
Extras is great !!!!
@@Briank0912 "SAS" - Super Army Soldier 😅😅😂😂
@@UserX860 Brilliant episode.
David Bowie was truly amazing singer and actor too RIP Mr. Bowie 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏
I would have paid big money to see a project with Ricky and Bowie. They were insanely funny with each other.
Love Ricky Gervais. He's up there with John Cleese, Billy Connolly and Clive Warren!
and don't forget K.Dilkington
Peter Kay and Lee Mack too!

Plenty of people have surpassed MJ in my eyes. It’s all down to opinion.

i love when ricky's shoulders be wobbling allover the place when he laughs

extras is honestly one of the best shows I have ever watched
Bowie is a hero ,,, seeing rickys eyes how much he cares and conan o brien did a tribute you can see how effected he was which you rarely see
Bowie was a rock star and an extraordinary intelligent Man !!
RIP LEGEND 🙏 🕊
To have lost somebody youve had that sort of experience with must be hard.
Nice memory from ricky and a shame it was davids last perf.

show him a cat, then he's your friend for life :)
I think he’s always been himself, even when he’s making rude jokes. There’s no pretense there.
Man, I'm getting emotional listening to Rick's story about the magic of David Bowie.

Extras is hilarious. Pure british humor.
Bowie always helping new talents to shine, blonde, placebo etc.
Was that the gig Steve Merchant wasn't invited to and got upset on XFM?
Great story. You are one lucky man Gervais
You can see Ricky getting upset, it's always sad to lose a friend.
Ricky definitely has a way with a story. Fantastic!
"I was almost famous" love it, self-aware 😁
Does dearest Ricky have time to enjoy his life ? He works so hard. 🥰
The song its self is brilliant.

I wish Chubby Little Loser had been released as a single
What a lovely and warm story
Thats A LOT of talent on stage at the same time...
Thanks for posting.
Sound quality is great 👍
It's brand new footage on the BBC's official channel. Better be a'ight...
Wow - WHAT. A. STORY!!

“Rub along”. What a great phrase!

that is one opinion

Brilliant
Apparently his last interview was the Extras interview as well.
Love Bowie rip king❤️
hilarious..i saw Ricky about to cry.
Greg Norman you don’t like the guy then...
Yeah, that applause at the end did not read the room.
Ricky♥☻♥
Ricky definitely hasn’t told this anecdote 1000 times before
To be fair, if I was mates with David Bowie I’d never shut up about it either.
I mean, he was asked by the presenter...
Not every one have as much as time you have to watch all the other 999 shows! :) they have to repeat stuff, different people follow different shows
I'd skywrite it.
How dare he tell a great story about the guy the interviewer asked him about
Brilliant
Play a record
Wow. ❤️
Love you, Rick! :)
Is nobody going to talk about the way he pronounces Bowie
theearthisahexagonon tuesdays I’m also from reading and I’ve always said it the other way 😂
In an interview, Ricky said that he always pronounced it that way and when he found out the actual pronunciation, he just carried on saying it the way he's used too.
If that is meant as a question you need to learn to end questions properly.
Questions end with a question mark.
@@OriginalPuro my bad. Are you a dipshit?
nobody does it better than England
Looks like Mr. Bowie had a similar flare to Keanue Reeves
For the longest time i thought the lyrics were "silly little fat man"
David Bowie changed music for us!
Bowie inspired Australian music forever! Check this out -> ruclips.net/video/r0ycj-FWKgY/видео.html
That first comment. He towers above them.
I'm a little confused about Ricky's claim and his statement regarding the first time he met Bowie. I thought he was in the Ashes to Ashes video along with Steve Strange which was 1980?
LMAO WHAT
No
He could have been and would have probably fitted right in (aged 18-19) if you check out his Seona Dancing persona.
i;m never gonna get to hear david bowie call ME a chubby little loser ;v; ;v; ;v; rip
Steve wasn't happy that he wasn't invited
Yeah
Don't remember being on this show.
For such a big Bowie fan, he's never been able to pronounce his name correctly.
Friends with the man, yet still can’t get his name right! It’s Bo-wie.
King Bowie
Stewart didn’t even smile at Bowie jab.
Wanna twice here!
Chubby Little Loser is my nickname.
If you're overweight, small and don't do anything right, you probably earned it.
Why would people dislike this video?
The only thing Ricky is and obviously you were friends you should know it's David Bo-wie not David Bow=ie
Why is Parick Steward in a coma?
😂👍👍👍👍👍
Bowie’s liver cancer was probably from cocaine + alcohol damage in his late 20’s and 30’s. Similarly Mick Ronson died from liver cancer too.
Bah!
Aha.. when our favourite atheist met the man who met the man who sold the world.
Ricky used to look like bowie
Yes, if Bowie had dyed his hair, eaten 400 Big Macs, grown a beard and a moustache and halved his height.
@@TonyEnglandUK im on about the picture they showed of when he was young thats why i said used to
@@gods_lie1551 I know sorry I was just kidding
Patrick Stewart doesn't like him or James Corden.
He was in Extras. How do you know he doesn’t like him?
@@alexisfletcher1629 and sir Patrick was hilarious in his episode! 🤣

It's Chivetail Edgiofour
Close enough
Is it really pronounced Bow like in cow?
Bauwie
man who sold the world.
its not david baaaweee, its david bo-ee
:/
You can see ricky is still cut up over the loss of his hero here, sad.
amazes me how ricky cant pronounce the word bowie correctly
How is it that he still mispronounces Bowie's name? Come on.
Accent
How should it be pronounced then?
First
Why was ricky on?
'Chubby little loser'? Rather rude.
I'll switch to another episode a guy like ricky gervais, james cordon they're so annoying and they match like teletubbies.
Patrick Stewart no sense of humour. The tired old leftie.
who dafuq is david bawie?
