I was just going to comment this. So true. She keeps it so much more fluid and lets them play off each other more. It really frustrates me when they have these incredible masters of their craft and cut them off when they start to flow together, probably just ruining what could have been a great nugget of conversation.
The interviewer was great. She did a really good job with controlling the conversations and leading the questions. That's especially hard to do with comedians. And she knew about their careers and comedy in general which is awesome. Round of applause for her.
I was impressed when Fred Armisen brought up Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets, a British movie from 1949, and the host said "Oh yeah he was great!" so casually.
I get you but my preference is to allow more flow in the conversation instead of the focus being on her. Ricky Gervais helped to open up the conversation. Kudos to all.
You crave power, that's sad. And what are they going to do? Put a shame cone on the other dude and she gets a better chair? He's not even in the frame, praise without push.
It’s nice to hear the actors answer seriously with the other interviewer rather be all cosy and pandering to the actors. I feel like I get more serious answers from him and the actors. If you want to see the fun side and jokes then watch all the other million interviews out there.
I love how Ricky Gervais intellectualises comedy. He truly is a master at what he does. And living proof that some of the funniest and most empathetic actors have been through life (worked in an office for 10 years) before they begin performing. Drama school can never replace life experience imo

@@robert7622 This comment is really late, but check out "Barry" on HBO. It's a comedy about Bill Hader, playing a hitman, going to an acting class taught by Henry Winkler.
She's an excellent host. She should host ALL OF THESE ROUNDTABLES. The little rude weasel who cuts everyone off should be BANNED. This woman is much more cool and respectful and seems to be in the moment with these guys. Great job!
I learnt nothing new here. They were all joking and being superficial. The other guy cuts the crap and gets them to talk seriously. I guess everyone who has said what you have are either really young and just want gossip and just see how warm and fuzzy your favourite actors are, whereas the other interviewer cuts to the chase and asks serious questions and gets serious answers where the rest of us can learn something. To see that acting and Hollywood isn’t all fame and money and an easy life.
Ricky Gervaises thing about people mistaking subject of the joke for target is so on point. It's not that political correctness is necessarily dumb, whats really dumb is people who don't understand where the humor of a joke is, and get offended by jokes that are in reality, not offensive.
As a born Londoner I'll say that Ricky is 100% right in what he says about the UK humour. I've worked in a local office setting and government healthcare sector as a support worker and both environments he sets in his shows, the office and on Derek is 100% very relatable to me. That thing about British people supporting the underdog is real talk, then the minute they make it it's like we think....look at that bloody sell out, who does he think he is....type thing lol
After moving to the south (ATX) from living in Milwaukee my whole life, I've learned to use sarcasm and dry humor very sparingly. I'm literally overjoyed when I find someone I can joke like that with down here.
I wish I lived in the UK instead of US. American root for successful people and you can tell by how they joke - fake and feeling superior. I find it hard to make friends here cuz people only tell the truth behind your back. I always tell my husband that I'd feel a lot more comfortable in UK.
The thing he said about the difference between Americans and English people, if an English person gets a compliment their first reaction is “what do you want? Are you after something?” Is so true

It was actually wholesome (Thank you Ricky Gervai), no one was trying to be 'bigger and better' than the other. First THR i've watched and i enjoyed everyone.
they seemed really uncomfortable at first, nd Ricky talked a lot, but there was a lot of great things to say,, glad it seemed they all warmed up overtime
This is such a great group of people. Even though Cheadle is not known to be a comic actor, he seems very fun. I love Silicon Valley, Key and Peele and The Office (UK) the most.
+kris lanc Billy Burr is a legend :D. I personally can't stand Ricky. I feel there is so much self hate in him, it pours out and is manifested towards other people. Example: he has weight problems so he takes it out on fat people. He has low self esteem but because he is among the big names he tries to convince himself that he made it. You can see this inner battle in every panel. I would hate to see how he behaves when the camera is off.
+Twistedreturns you mean the British guy? :D Or the other guy, I forgot his name...Stacey is just great and I love how she smiles and the way she asks questions...ok now I sound gay :D :D

I love how these people know what they're doing and talk about it in a way that you know they have done the homework of studying it properly. So it shows how much they appreciate their job and spend time on quality work. I loved every moment of this interview. THANKS ❤️
That was hilarious! She's an incredibly talented interviewer. Very smooth, great transitions, and her completely relaxed voice and disarming smile made this a pleasure to watch.
I had no idea The Emmy's were contemplating banning Ricky Gervais after hosting the G.G. especially all the times they asked him to host a segment before or after the incident; which is quite ironic now when Ricky Gervais's Emmy Segments are usually the best part of the whole damn award show
Although, I gota be honest. I don't personally understand everyone crushing on her so much. I'm sure she's a lovely person, but totes not my taste in the looks department.
+OptimistHunter Reel You should listen to some podcasts he did with Jake and Amir, the podcast is called If I were You. Hes so funny in them especially if you like him being quirky
how is it that fred armisen always manages to come off as the coolest of the bunch? i think it's him absolutely not trying to be cool which makes him so cool.
What an incredible discussion. And hats off to Stacey. What an interviewer! She kept the discussion flowing freely, it was organic, and she didn't interrupt or take away from the conversation at all, only added. 10/10!
i think this is probably the best comedy one of these I've ever seen. I just loved the way they'd break into scenarios and everyone is contributing *chefs kiss*
The white guy in the grey suit is hilarious, I've never seen him before. He's so funny. Also the host is very good, she's the best host for the round tables.
+Simon Wilson She did a really good job of paying attention to the few that are more quiet and less likely to hop into the discussion on their own. Every time somebody started to disappear the next question would be directed straight to that person which, after pushing involvement, seeming loosened everybody up, got all perspectives, balanced the scales... made for a very worthwhile hour of viewing. Ricky has the same problem in these discussions or stream of thought process that I have which is make an observation or throw out a thought, critique or observe the observation, reiterate, reiterate, and it just becomes rambling about nothingness. On that note, I'll quit typing... adding only, and re-iterating somewhat, that the host did a good job recognizing it and of making sure his attention was steered correctly. Or something....?
+IRNOEbot I could understand people not knowing who Middleditch is. He's touted as the lead but he's not that much more prominent in screentime than the other people on the show. I don't feel he's getting that much of a boost from the show at all.
So nice to see there are more people who agree with this. These were my sentiments exactly. I hope they read these and fire that moron and allow her to host these and other things. She's great. Respectful, natural, and not that it should matter, but beautiful, as well.
I actually think Thomas Middleditch couuuuld be the funniest -- as much as I adore Ricky -- he just doesnt let himself off the leash here (I'm guessing it was out of respect as the least known)
I seriously love Don Cheadle. Such a versatile actor. From Boogie Nights to Iron Man. Gervais goes without saying... a comedy genius. I'd actually like to see something with Thomas Middleditch and Ricky. I don't know why but I feel like they would come up with something really cool.
they seemed really uncomfortable at first, nd Ricky talked a lot, but there was a lot of great things to say,, glad it seemed they all warmed up overtime
I see a lot of the comments here directed at the woman running the show, Stacey Wilson, and I just gotta throw one more in because wow, she is absolutely amazing. It's rare to see someone manage to handle that level of celebrity presence, manoeuvring the conversation deftly down the most entertaining pathways while remaining both congenial and functionally invisible. A lot of hosts wear an uncomfortably obvious agenda on their sleeve, or have a tendency to seem disingenuous when asking questions or directing topics; she's affable, to-the-point, inspires instant respect while simultaneously putting people at ease, and you never once get the sense that she's being fake in any way. Fantastic.
i think this woman is my favorite host for these. She doesn't interrupt the flow of conversation like that one guy.
MyTubeIsBetter20 I also like the blond-ish one
Middleditch is the worst.
She reminds me of Tina Fey...
Yea she does her job well

they seemed really uncomfortable at first, nd Ricky talked a lot, but there was a lot of great things to say,, glad it seemed they all warmed up overtime
I live for things like this. My favorites. All of them!
I see a lot of the comments here directed at the woman running the show, Stacey Wilson, and I just gotta throw one more in because wow, she is absolutely amazing. It's rare to see someone manage to handle that level of celebrity presence, manoeuvring the conversation deftly down the most entertaining pathways while remaining both congenial and functionally invisible. A lot of hosts wear an uncomfortably obvious agenda on their sleeve, or have a tendency to seem disingenuous when asking questions or directing topics; she's affable, to-the-point, inspires instant respect while simultaneously putting people at ease, and you never once get the sense that she's being fake in any way. Fantastic.
