Totally agree. that reminds me of an interview with Pat Phoenix & Jim Davidson had gone before & PP was telling a story of her thoughts on suicide & he interrupted with a joke & completely broke the rhythm of her story. She was gracious & he remained silent after that.
He probably had no idea what was being said, both Parkinson and Gervais have quite strong accents and when this interview took place, he probably hadn't been working in English all that long.
I reckon he understood half of what they were bantering on. I would’ve been lost as well if I was on that stage in Spain! Although credit is due to Antonio for his six years living in the UK and working in the United States making some fine Works of art. One of the best actors to come out of Spain definitely
Parkinson is a master interviewer , Ricky is a no nonsense person, for whom , acting / writing and stand up , has provided him a voice . He has no time for pretence , or zelebrity . And Antonio is a class act , who is happy to soak up the atmosphere, no matter where he is . I'm so glad I got to witness the Parkinson interviews when I was young enough to question them , but wise enough to realize just how amazing they truly were . My parents always watched the interviews he did , and i am glad I was allowed to stay up to see them . A list celebrity legends such as James steward , Brando and the like . The sublime Peter Ustinov. Peter sellers . Boy I miss those days .
Michael Parkinson was the master ,you know you’ve made it when you appear on his show ….Ricky Gervais is ridiculously hilarious 😂😂, nice one ‘Parky’❤😂…… I have to mention my fav Parkinson was with Stephen Fry and Robin Williams ….. absolute comedy madness 😂😂
Ricky. You are everything we so desperately need in our country of Sweden. Your brilliant sense of humour which also not seldom is completely true and razor sharp. Very welcome here. All included for you especially. Happy New Year of 2025 and all the best.
I saw Bill Burr interviewed & he made me laugh about once & half....& I absolutely love Bill Burr doing his stand-up. Ricky's just naturally incredibly witty.
He actually remind me of the singer/songwriter/producer Aurora. A bit strange comparison I know, but, they both say, I will do it my way or not at all. And all the more power to them. That's what making them one of a kind.
Graham and Chatty worked out the formula of interviewing several guests at same time, without being awkward. Antonio is just sitting there. Parky, Wogan and Ross are great too.
Ricky is a bloke you can have a pint with and can debate his beliefs with the likes of Jordan Peterson...... he is a legend who stands up for true freedom
@lovatocrvero742 That's ok. But then you must research 60s, 70s, 80s music as well. It's the best music era and it won't ever be matched. There will be many you have not heard of in every music genre.
Now I must be one of Parky’s biggest fans but in this interview he sounds……dare I even say it…….a bit pissed 😮 !!! Sorry. He did a lot more after sounding coherent. He must have been medicated but he sounds off.
Love Ricky, but what stands out above everything here is the fact he’s willing to mention Steve Merchant no problem. Why that I stopped I will never understand
@@outlander234Ricky never, ever mentions Steve. During the years when they collaborated, sure, but since then he’s never even referred to Steve during interviews regarding the Office and Extras. He talks about the creation and development as a singular creation made by him. I think it’s strange as it is sad. Judging Ricky’s later work, Steve clearly had the stronger talent for writing too.
Credit to Antonio, who remained respectfully silent, not drawing attention to himself once while Ricky held forth!

He's gorgeous!😅
Could have put a shirt and jacket on though!

I love how good an interviewer Michael Parkinson was.
I've never seen him before, but I like the fact that he didn't interrupt his guest.
you cant not like him. just a genuinly nice honest man

Ricky is a GENIUS! Living person I would most like to spend time with. Everything he says is so REAL (and FUNNY)
A very funny man with integrity... brilliant...
Lazyness.
@@martincaz7772Yeah just like your comment! 🤦♂️
He’s never changed his morals. That’s why we love him.

Intelligent, honest, funny, what's not to love about Ricky?
My dream man until I found out just recently that Paul McCartney has a killer sense of humor, so……
Ricky. You are everything we so desperately need in our country of Sweden. Your brilliant sense of humour which also not seldom is completely true and razor sharp.
Very welcome here. All included for you especially.
Happy New Year of 2025 and all the best.
love them both, pure brilliance at play
It's called class. Very few have it.
Best thing to come out of the UK 🇬🇧
I see Ricky as a National Treasure. What an extraordinarily based man. 🎉🎉
Based or debased?
Very grounded
@NinaKale-i4t Based, like I said.
@NinaKale-i4twhat you getting at?
Ric you are tops❤❤❤
I never watch any of Ricky & Stephen's Productions but I never miss his interviews and refreshing honesty
I saw Bill Burr interviewed & he made me laugh about once & half....& I absolutely love Bill Burr doing his stand-up. Ricky's just naturally incredibly witty.
Miss Parky. Great show.
i thought he was a Mr, has he changed blimey..!
😊
He was only "Miss Parky" at weekends.I never realized that side of him was well known...
@@JorgeDeLaRossa Parky was and will always be a LEGEND sadly mist but never forgotten 👍👍👌🏻👌🏻
What a dude. And who would have thought he does interviews so well...
Fast forward to the emmys 2010 and Bucky Gunts is mentioned once more by Ricky 😂
Parky was such a brilliant talkshow host, giving as good as he gets, even with the likes of Gervais.
I fancy Ricky😂
😂😂😂😂 me too
But do you fancy him guiltily, secretly?
Don't get it everybody knows what I fancy.
Shameful
You mean his bank balance.
Imagine a uk without Gervais : unfathomable
Yeh, Bucky comes from a long line of Guntz.....LMAO
A reluctant hero to us all
He actually remind me of the singer/songwriter/producer Aurora. A bit strange comparison I know, but, they both say, I will do it my way or not at all. And all the more power to them. That's what making them one of a kind.
I love this man the work he does for animal welfare is incredible 💖

Additional character for your book
: the BALR. He eats cheese, drinks red wine, occasionally plays tennis and loves David Bowie
They were called celebrities back then, now they are called super stars. How strange the world is today.
It was Slough that made The Office work 😂
Ricky is a bloke you can have a pint with and can debate his beliefs with the likes of Jordan Peterson...... he is a legend who stands up for true freedom
LOL
How insulting for Ricky: to put his name in the same sentence with peterson.
Genius.
I fancy Ricky - Diana ❤️
22 years ago? Wow I used to watch this show
They both make it look so easy..
i cant get Les Dennis' offal out my head now
His name is Parkinson? Was Parkinson name after someone in his family or smth😂 thats the first thing I thought when I saw Parkinson😂😅😅
He was one of the most famous interviewers on the planet.....since the 70s.
@creativesource3514 70s makes sense, that's why I haven't heard of him lol no offense to him but I just haven't so
@lovatocrvero742 That's ok. But then you must research 60s, 70s, 80s music as well. It's the best music era and it won't ever be matched. There will be many you have not heard of in every music genre.
His name is Micheal Parkinson
I don't know who the old guy is, but he was sharp as a knife.
Parkinson. His dhow had the same name. He interview alot of interesting people. Oliver Reed, mohammed Ali, Alec Guinness.
Even 2004 was much more normal.than 2024..lets go back..ffs
It even looks as if it were in the 90's or something, SO far away from where we are now.
Let's go back to the 70s or 80s
Nah fuck going back to 80s that’s too far
@@mattoniy2840 music became shit after around 95'.
I'm with you on that - take it back another 20 years from that and I'm in heaven.
Pug! Pug!
When was this interview??
2004
Be great if he wrote a show about a grieving husband in a small town 😂🤣😂🤣
Ricky has got much better with age...
Actually Ricky, your idol David Bowie as a young guy also he just wanted to be famous but wasn't sure how.
Who is Bucky Ghunts?
Brent "Bucky" Gunts is a multiple Emmy-winning sports television director currently serving as Head of Production for NBC Olympics.
Now I must be one of Parky’s biggest fans but in this interview he sounds……dare I even say it…….a bit pissed 😮 !!! Sorry. He did a lot more after sounding coherent. He must have been medicated but he sounds off.
Was this in 2002?
Close! 2004
Ricky is cool as. Would love to meet him but not come across as a fan boy.
Is he aving a Laff?
Antonio Banderas is cloned?!
I love Ricky...but with facial hair,he looks like a woman when he is clean shaven...but he is hilariously funny.❤❤❤❤❤
Love Ricky, but what stands out above everything here is the fact he’s willing to mention Steve Merchant no problem. Why that I stopped I will never understand
Laughing machines are so obvious and irritating
Ricky pushed the sticky. Don’t forget.
I don't..!
Ricky looked like piers Morgan when he was young
Why was Antonio there?
He'd been interviewed before Ricky came along.
Party is pissed
Before Ricky became everything he once detested
Michael Parkinbum
This is very old!!
One of the few times you’ll see ever Ricky credit Stephen Merchant, back when he had character …instead of the delusional narcissist we have today
Diddums. Bless, sore anus?
When did he not credit him? Also he is the star of both Office and Extras, forget writting and directing, without him those shows dont exist.
@@shreked6800 Shush you minge.
actually if you don’t write a show you have no one to act in it dumbass
@@outlander234Ricky never, ever mentions Steve. During the years when they collaborated, sure, but since then he’s never even referred to Steve during interviews regarding the Office and Extras.

I can't stand rick
Hilarious, you look at all his clips because of that?
He's not really funny.........
Derek was howlingly bad like really unfunny his character was not funny not funny at all..sorry in my opinion..
