You know, I'm honestly surprised that Louis Theroux took a moment out of his busy schedule of being a Lovecraftian hivemind to do this. What a guy, am I right?
Always been a big fan of Louis, his ability to come across as very naive always made his subjects drop their guard and reveal more than they otherwise would have. Very clever dude 👌
I agree with that somewhat, but if you've seen his interviews, I'm sure you have, his demeanor is always calm, friendly and approachable. That seems to be his personality, rather than trying to trick his interviewee into opening up. He's has a benevolent personality, which lowers peoples guard.
you're clearly a new Louis fan - if you go back to the old days of him talking to Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish in the pre-netflix days, they were way ahead of the curve
Nah, there are way better documentary makers, and have been his entire career. He's like the McIntyre/CBeebies of the genre, popular but not a great journalist.
@@timmasters1195 this statement is incredibly dismissive of the work theroux has done to turn taboo subjects into popular discussion. personally i don't think there's been a better gonzo journalist for a long time. also comparing him to a comedian and a children's programme just because they're popular is a bit of a dumb take to say the least.
The exec at the Beeb who put his name in the title of his first gig was insightful, the way Louis describes it I can easily picture how it happened along with the thought processes going on. Great interview.
Louis is very clever and has studied political philosophy and understands how circumstances affect individuals so he listens, really listens. He probably helps people improve.
Absolute living legend, was able to access people that would not otherwise open up and all through his beguiling innocent like charm that belies a sharp investigative mind. I like that he name checked Stacey Dooley too, she's cut from the same cloth
I saw Louis on the tube in London recently and was awkwardly gawping at him for a moment as I confirmed it was him and then considered going up and saying something. Let’s hope him looking back at me a few times wasn’t him thinking that scientology was back on him. I’m sure his departure at the next stop was unrelated.
We know he's brilliant, for sure a national treasure. But I also love how he will raise others up so genuinely, whether its a grime artist or a fellow interviewer.
His new podcast is really good, it’s nice he’s producing content in a different manner but still having his great interviewing skills. Hope his eyebrow recovers from his alopecia.
Funny how he was suprised that the BBC wanted to use his name, but seems to have forgotten that his father is a famous writer ... who got famous by writing many bestselling books about going to strange and interesting places and interviewing strange and interesting people ...
But people don’t necessarily link them. They don’t necessarily assume all the famous Theroux’s are related (even though they kinda all are what with Justin Theroux being his cousin and Marcel Theroux being his brother…)
Hip-Hop Connection is something I’ve not heard of for a long time. A long time. I worked on their website. We called it Hip-Op Connection in the office, but mostly when joking about the other chap who worked on the site with me who we affectionately called Grandad.
3:01 obviously it’s Loyle Carner, those guys are talented but aren’t even close. Then probably Little Simz. If it’s “of all time” then Roots Manuva has to be in there too.
I think the closing remark of people he's interviewed being actors in their own drama is a selection bias, they're the ones being interviewed. Lots of people out there that happily take a supporting role, or even a behind the scenes role in life :)
Last xmas eve I arrvied at my mums for the holidays and she proceeded to make us watch a Louis doco on THE P*RN INDUSTRY for the next few hours. It was the most uncomfortable and funny xmas eve we've had in a while. 😂
It wouldn't matter if they tried to take the Westboro kids into care because their whole family are all very powerful lawyers. That's how they've lasted so long.

"National treasure" gets thrown around willy nilly, but Louis is a legit legend and doubtless national treasure.
international. hes a global treasure.
Louie’s knowledge of UK rap is baffling, love that he’s a fan
yeah i had no clue he was mad deep in it too. Been watching him for years. What a champ
you're clearly a new Louis fan - if you go back to the old days of him talking to Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish in the pre-netflix days, they were way ahead of the curve
Punch you in the face stuff" 😂
He's been a big fan since his teenage years
@@rudimentaryganglia yeah it became evident when he made references to it.
I love how analytical he is over every detail, even when it comes to reading tweets. Brilliant bloke!
Glad Louis is getting his due. The guy was making shows 20+ years ahead of his time - and was making them better than our generation can.
Yes this a direct @ at the All Gas dipshit
Ground-breaking stuff; so engaging and powerful yet also low-key and subtle.
Apart from electrical goods and waterproof clothing, everything was better made 20 years ago.

I wouldn't worry. Sure it happens to him all the time. He's used to it by now.
Exotic lounge scenario and Norwegian cruise ship singer audition….hilarious, the man’s a legend
The analogy with saurons eye was great👍
"if you take a chill pill" i love this dude

Oh, really? Huh. I guess he maybe got his interest in this from him. 😁
I doubt he forgot about his own father. Perhaps he just wanted to make his own name for himself and not use his father's name to get into TV.
But people don’t necessarily link them. They don’t necessarily assume all the famous Theroux’s are related (even though they kinda all are what with Justin Theroux being his cousin and Marcel Theroux being his brother…)
What a fabulous man, a true icon by ever sense of the word.
I simply adore this man
I was so heart broken before watching this and then Louis saved the day. Need me a man like Louis 😮💨
I'm quite curious if Louis Theroux has heard the Tom Cardy song named after him. I'd be interested in hearing his thoughts on it, if he has.
I've heard covers of his rap song randomly and it always makes my day
"Inscribing your life on to destiny" - I love that. Louis remains as wonderful as always.
"Distinctive, that's better" I love this man and the pragmatic way that he sees through the cognitive disonance and conditionng 👏
my love for this man is immeasurable.
Weird Weekends is some of the best television ever produced.
If you had never seen Louis in anything you would never think he would be so great on camera.
This was great
I'd never heard of Louis until the Tom Cardy song "Get Louis Theroux it" but i like him!
3:20 the answer is Pete and Bas

this is just hiding down here in the comments
How did that publication compare to MixMag? 🤔
God, he's funny.
This man is genuinely good in every hood.
3:01 obviously it’s Loyle Carner, those guys are talented but aren’t even close. Then probably Little Simz. If it’s “of all time” then Roots Manuva has to be in there too.
I wish he could stop being so goddang adorable for 2 minutes.
4:50 what a lovely tattoo of Harry Potter
This dude is UNDISPUTED 💪
Louis shouting out Nines and NW10, big up 🔥
I love that he wants a tattoo of himself 😂

He clearly hasn't heard of REN yet as he is probably the best British musician now and for the future.
Love the Stacey Dooley shout out - she's amazing.
She really isn't.
@@eightiesmusic1984she is compared to the rest of the bbc
Love you Theroux
2:46 cant be worst than theater audition you did for that broadway episode 😁
Louis Theroux is the goat
that was really interesting 👍🏻
Love him.
Louis is the real top G. No-one can touch this man.
ok but Louis Theroux is so hot like
Been a fan ever since I moved to the UK in the 90s and watched Weird Weekend, the branding worked.
Real ones know him from “only money that I want” 🇿🇦
i wish Louis Theroux was our prime minister 😭
I've just read your book it's a wonderful insight! I'd love to see you interview some more controversial rock stars!
Haven't missed a Louis documentary yet and I never plan to.
"that's to do with the wiggling, not the jiggling" :D
Absolute legend
Such a treasure 💎
Last xmas eve I arrvied at my mums for the holidays and she proceeded to make us watch a Louis doco on THE P*RN INDUSTRY for the next few hours. It was the most uncomfortable and funny xmas eve we've had in a while. 😂
Surprisingly deep hiphop knowledge
Please tell me Louis has heard the song named after him by Tom Cardy..
I'd imagine money that jiggles isn't allowed to be thrown at exotic dancers.
Louis Theroux's Peculiar Podcast - missed a trick there
I have all the DVDs of him and i think the Jimmy savile one is the best doc
ateez is coming to the UK the 8th November, y'all should get them here again for some content ! + they have a comeback soon so it can be fun
Let's go Louis! I was like name drop Dave and he did!! My respect has sky rocketed! 👊
I love Louis
‘…dribble dribble: that’s to do with the wiggling, not the jiggling”. -Louis Theroux
The GOAT himself!!!
Louis let me tattoo you
That is one fresh shirt Mr Theroux is wearing.
Louis!
I’m going undercover…IT’S ME !
(Love Louis )
I was beginning to feel omnipotent.
I'd have liked to ask Louis his impressions of Elliot Smith.
He's just a sound dude in every way
I'd like Louis to get a tattoo of Park Ranger Louis 😅
they called it "louis theroux's weird weekends" so we knew that you weren't alan whicker!
1:50 gets me every time
Get Louis Theroux it! - Tom Carry
“I also enjoy seeing your sexy moves” 😂
Can’t believe he didn’t give any love to Pete and Bas as top UK lyricists
Considering they don’t write their own lyrics I don’t see why he would 🤣
@@S4KCxDon't do this to me
I love that Louis rates nines
It's Theroux, huh? I always pronounced it Theroux.
Interestingly, he pronounces it Theroux but his cousin does pronounce it Theroux.
I thought the H was silent, as in Thompson or Theron.
Dude, it’s pronounced ‘Theroux’.
It’s not ‘Theroux’, it’s pronounced ‘Theroux’
Y'all pronuncing pronounced wrang.
This is excellent- so glad my favourite is out here in these streets THRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nines! Yes Louis.
It wouldn't matter if they tried to take the Westboro kids into care because their whole family are all very powerful lawyers. That's how they've lasted so long.
I think the gigglemetimbers woman meant new content as in tv shows about sub cultures etc or conditions not a podcast
He reminds me of a british Jeff Goldblum
In life, it's often the case that jiggles + wiggles may lead to dribbles.
Absolutely love Stacey Dooley!!
He produces some of her stuff, so possibly a secondary motive for promoting her...
@@mankytoes either way, her vibe is great. I’ve been a journo for years and really appreciate how she connects with people
Yeah when I saw you auditioning to perform for that cruise company I just thought “this guy has the biggest balls”.
Did he cuss us with that exit line?
I'm sorry but you guys call yourself British GQ yet, in the subtitles, you say Halston instead of Harlesden. Cmon guys lol
1:50 fantastic
*Harlesden not Halston
what happened to maleven ?
I like your shirt.
I want to see him react to Tom Cardy's song about him.
I liked John Carter
Yeah wtf. Its a fine fantasy adventure movie. It just had the worst marketing ever, and a name that made it sound like it was about a lawyer.
