Growing up in Scotland in the 80's I remember my dad letting me watch Billy Connolly for the first time. I must've been about 10. I've never laughed so hard in my life. Proud to come from the same part of the world as him, and being able to relate to so many of his stories and observations of the world truly is something
I love how Billy arrives and just literally takes over the whole show. He is comedy genuis. I doubt we will ever have someone of his calibre again. Ive laughed till my sides hurt at all his stand up shows. My only regret is that I never got to see Billy live.
Had the privilege of seeing Billy live and had to pick myself off the floor I laughed so hard. I also remember watching one of his shows and a joke triggered me - I literally couldn't sleep that night and was still laughing a day or so later. Truly a comic genius.
Love billy and watching him have Parkinson in stitches and not being able to ask him questions is hilarious can watch all his stand up shows over and over and still laugh my face off best Scottish comedian of all time 🙌🏻❤️❤️
Billy Connolly is the funniest man on the planet IMHO. The UK has produced a fair few good comedians but Billy is the only one who can make me laugh until my sides ache.
Billy has made the world a far better place! I can’t thank him enough for the joy and rear and facial muscle pain in my cheeks, all 4, front and back have ached with joy!
He has lifeless soulless eyes. He may be a good actor, so he can laugh on cue etc. Cruise just looks SO fake, so manufactured and false. He makes my spine shiver watching him.
I saw Billy in Bristol probably 30 years ago, he was on stage for about 3 hours, never laughed so much in my life, he kept going back and forwards through different stories, to this day I have no idea which were true, false or a hybrid of both but I have always hoped that they were all true
Tom goes all 'Crazy Oprah' again - you know that he has no clue what Billy is talking about. Skilled guy Cruise. His Dad was a travelling salesman - hence he knows how to fit in.
Sir Les Patterson is number one. Parkinson oscillated between extreme discomfort and side splitting laughter. Those interviews would never happen today. And not a single profanity.
For me, the trouble with Billy Connolly is, not only do I not like ''comedians'', who laugh at their own jokes, I dislike them telling the same jokes ? everytime they're on TV. I'll get me coat.
@@shaneheff5244 he can't act,he has no personality,he's short,boring and according to ex Scientologists ,a bully He has nothing to do with his daughter and he has three ex wives Billy is funny,intelligent,a great actor and has one wife and loves his children .
No he isn’t. I saw him on Parkinson at the same time as Sting. Billy was on first and during Stings interview he kept interrupting, trying to be funny, and drawing attention to himself. It was infuriating. After this went on for a while Sting turned to him and said “You’ve had your interview, this is my interview”. It was great and Billy shut up after that. Apart from that I’ve never thought Billy Connolly was funny.
I've stopped watching shows like these because I resent paying a licence fee to pay for the guest to come on the show and plug their latest album/tour/movie and spout some bollocks snippet about their experience while making their latest movie/album/tour. I remember when there were people who were on shows because they were interesting.

Met him at the airport once
i says “Thanks for the laughs Boss!”
and he goes “i prefer trains !” and gives me a smile.

absolutely is one of the funniest people ever.
read his autobiography, amazing to read and then think how is he alive and so funny
Billy is a true legend of comedy

Agreed. And he is FUNNY without being crude or crass. A true Master of his Craft. 👍
Dave Allen perhaps
You are correct imo
@@markthomasson5077 I loved Dave Allen too.
Absolutely 😂
I think this was the only time I seen cruise laugh this hard😄😄😄
Tom Cruise was laughing so much because Billy Connolly is the funniest man on the planet.
You could get injured laughing with this man 😂
So true. Sides hurt so much. xxx
Love Billy and Parky ❤
Parky and Billy clearly liked one another. Great shows. Loved Parky and Billy. xxx
Billy Connolly Has Got To Be The Funniest Man Ever. With Respect From Merseyside
I think Billy probably is the funniest man ever. xxx With respect from an old Londoner in Sydney, Australia. xxx
There'll never again be anyone quite like Billy.
Woke has killed off the Billy's! Never seen his like again a genius of comedy!
Ok boomer 🤣🤣@@johnferguson1680
In what way? @@johnferguson1680
Love you Billy❤ So glad you're in the states retiring PERFECT.
Billy - the greatest comedian ever...
Favourite of all time!
That title is brutal when you read it first thing in the morning
Billy ALWAYS makes me laugh, my whole life………
Billy certainly wouldn't be lost on the irony of being "Parkinsons most comedic guest' 😂
One really hopes that anyone typing the two terms into their search bar will run across this video at the top of the results.
@@SuzyQ334 and the joke went straight over your head 😂
Legend 🏴

Cushy shift for Parky when Billy’s on.
you sure ?
Brilliant
Genuinely funny man
Of course he is, no question!
Imagine being so full of life you make Tom Cruise look like a charisma vacuum
He is a charisma vacuum tho....a worm has more charisma than him. He is the same ridiculous self centred bore in every role he has every done I think.
He has lifeless soulless eyes. He may be a good actor, so he can laugh on cue etc.
Cruise just looks SO fake, so manufactured and false. He makes my spine shiver watching him.
BEST EVER !!! 😂❤
We ❤ you billy
I can think of no one else who fits the epithet 'Force of Nature' better than Billy. Well, the late great Robin Williams was in the same category.
Billy and Robins Williams on stage together would have been fun.
I recall when Robin was on with Stephen Fry - it was hilarious as Robin had to try very hard to not join in on Stephen's anecdotes.
without a doubt!
Nice to see Tom Cruise lose it on several occasions, but why does this cut off halfway through an anecdote?
Cause he's incredibly narcissistic
@@mehowkielan1984 What the hell are you talking about?
@@johnp515 just obvious stuff for everybody who is even slightly aware of psychology

Ah yes, this was during Tom Cruise's crazy Scientology stage with all his weird smiles and behaviours.
Had the privilege of seeing him live in 1982....nothing has made me cry/laughing since.
Fair play to you billy. I model myself on you.mind you, it hasnt done me many favours so far.
Funniest man alive.
Holy hell… 🥂
He is the funniest man with parkinsons too.
Yes.
I would love to see that deleted scene
Comedy genius
Tom goes all 'Crazy Oprah' again - you know that he has no clue what Billy is talking about. Skilled guy Cruise. His Dad was a travelling salesman - hence he knows how to fit in.
Billy is fantastic, but Dame Edna was always brilliant on Parky
He could ask them for anything he wants, and he comes on to Barwick Green! Thas our Big Yin, through and through...
Peter Sellars was no slouch either
God him and Peter Kay in a film!
Billy and Robin, a close tie. After them Peter Kay
A true force a nature❤😉🤣👌
I wonder if Billy and Tom still talk.
Saturday 4th September 2004
In hindsight a terribly ironic title.
Parkinson just so charismatic.....
A guest with Parkinson's goes on Parkinson
I was just thinking that.
He didn't have it back then.
@@TheGreatSteveyou might forget that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

😂😂
Not many people can upstage Tom Cruise on a stage XD
Hard to say if he's the funniest. Check out Spike Milligan. But he's among the very best and in the UK, that's funny.
He was on parkinson, now he has parkinson , how ironic
…JESUS, I FANCY ‘IM MISELLFF!
No
Muhammed Ali was the best on Parky.
Nah i reckon peter kay takes the title here.
Parky just gets out the way and lets Billy roll because why wouldn't you?
No Barry Humphries was
Robin Williams was the funniest.
TC loves BC
Really?
No Barry Humphries was his funniest ever
No. . . TC : Billy's going to do something.
Fade to black 😮😮
They sat in office charis back then eh?
Funniest Parkinson guest? A toss uo between Billy Connolly and Dame Edna
Kind of ironic
Just typically Billy. 7:26 interview - Michael doesn't say a word until 5:19.Just let the man go...
Has he not got Parkinson’s as well now?
Not uk, not British. Hes scottish. You can keep macintyre
You can’t call him Billy Connolly Parkinsons that’s not nice.
Cruise over acting as if his job depended on it... oh, wait.
Bucklt
For me, the trouble with Billy Connolly is, not only do I not like ''comedians'', who laugh at their own jokes, I dislike them telling the same jokes ? everytime they're on TV. I'll get me coat.
Love Billy ...... Cruise is just a weirdo scientologist monster though, truly cringe-worthy!
tom cruise is pure cringe
Is it really that funny? In my opinion...sorry no
The worlds most interesting man with the worlds most boring man
Tell us about your more interesting life.
@@shaneheff5244 why don't you tell us how intelligent you are,as you find cruise interesting?
@Redwarfa He's obviously a talented guy who is very successful. Still waiting for your reply.
@@shaneheff5244 he can't act,he has no personality,he's short,boring and according to ex Scientologists ,a bully
He has nothing to do with his daughter and he has three ex wives
Billy is funny,intelligent,a great actor and has one wife and loves his children .
Pish

But you’re watching this.
Connelly was funny in the 70s to 80s, then he lost it for me, and was no longer really funny
Each to his/her own. I think he's aged well, like a fine wine. 😊
I agree . I saw him in 1979 in Perth Australia and he was side splitting but hopless when l saw him again in 2006
From the last seconds sounds like he wrote himself out of many scenes they needed to get done by being a child
No, Freddie Starr was.
I've stopped watching shows like these because I resent paying a licence fee to pay for the guest to come on the show and plug their latest album/tour/movie and spout some bollocks snippet about their experience while making their latest movie/album/tour.

Shut up ass face
Anyone got the slightest idea what he’s talking about ?
_"Is Billy Connolly Parkinson’s FUNNIEST guest?"_
Possibly... *But no.*
No.
No.
