    Stephen Fry discussed “the difference” between British (UK) comedy and USA and the main point is that “we” can quite easily laugh at ourselves, if we are being made fun of as there is no “you can’t make a fool of me, I’m a tv/film star” attitude. Those tv/film star who make guest appearances on panel shows never seem to take it seriously - they understand that the chances of them being ridiculed or made to look like a twit by the other “contestants” are high - it’s all part of the show!
    Stephen Fry said that USA “celebrities” do find it hard to step back from the persona they have created, which makes it difficult for them to enjoy the comedy if they have to continue that image, whereas respected actors like Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench and Sir Michael Caine for example revel in the banter and being made to look silly. He said that when speaking to his USA friends, they just could not comprehend how - when watching “our” kind of comedy - that prior to the recording of such shows, the celeb panellists are pleasant and friendly to each other but as soon as the recording starts, they seem to love making comedic abuse to each other - they were amazed at rude the banter was but was the audience considered it funny and acceptable! That’s just how we roll? 😂😂

The subject takes it seriously because the entire point of the thing is all about them, whereas a panel show people laugh the jokes at their expense off because the show isn't really about them, they're just fuel for the comedy.

    I think the main issue with US attempts at panel shows is American comedians and other people in entertainment are all about being big bold personalities and getting everything hyped and thay just doesn't suit the format which is centred around mutual mockery and silliness. Other issue is people in the US tend to be less self-deprecating which is a big part of the banter.

    There are some great panel shows, Mock the Week, Have I got News For You, QI, just to name a few. But the problem as far as I can see it, is that you'd never get them made the same way in the US. US TV has such tight lines that they have to stick to, or the morality police will go for them, whereas in the UK we tend to more relaxed on things, and a lot of shows push things to the very edge of what they can get away with. Take "Have I got News For You" some of the front row is made up of lawyers to make sure they don't go to far on what is said.
    Oh!! if you ever get the chance look up the old versions of Never mind the Buzzcocks, which is now been rebooted, with Greg Davis as the host, which is also very good.

      It's funny because while I see what you're saying about the quote-unquote morality police.... the example lie that Alanna featured from the US episode here was so disgusting it made me wonder where on earth their moral censors were at the time?!?! I can only imagine the British production team looking at that prospective lie and giving a solid blow-by-blow breakdown to the guest in question on why that lie won't fly - it's just revolting.
      So sometimes in America it seems almost like there's a twisted "immorality police" if you will, that insists on forcing these gross and pointless "anti-jokes" that totally undermine the intended emphasis of the show. And this seems to be a big battle within America, because there's both a morality police AND an immorality police that fight over everything, and many things beyond good television get ruined in the crossfire.

      @mookie2637 2 месяца назад

      Certainly most, perhaps all modern UK panel shows have writers. In a way, this is their central falsehood - that they are conversational and improvised, when for the most part they are anything but. On some shows (and Sean Lock talks about this somewhere), the writers actually set up in a room and the performers buy their material and the rights to it then and there. Older ones (eg Just a Minute) didn't do this, and the consequent sense of a barely suppressed riot is what the modern ones lack. PS Sean didn't buy his material, and I don't think Bob did either.

    The British version of this show is such a success because of the chemistry between and talent of Rob Brydon, David Mitchell and Lee Mack. They have distinctive and individual styles of humour. Their constant ribbing of each other adds another humorous element to the show. If you watch the first few seasons of the show you will see how it has evolved into the success it is today. Rob started off as a guest where his talent shone through. It was obvious then that he was the right man to take over as the chairman. I never tire of the show. You are right about Bob and his stories. They are so out there that they drive David crazy trying to decide truth or lie. Have you seen the one where Bob claims to do his own dentistry? That's a classic. 😂😂

Aisha Tyler was such a fantastic addition as presenter and the new regular guests were all great as well as the original guests who returned. The humour is pretty much the same slapstick, innuendo laden stuff from its previous two versions, but right up to date in regards to trends and satire. It’s exactly what you loved in the 00s but just with more recent references.

The popular shows can be difficult to get tickets for, there is normally some kind of waiting list but it is a fun night out and very interesting to see how it is done. Many are filmed in London so perfect for you to take the train in. Get there early as they usually send out more tickets than seats available to ensure there are no empty places in the audience.

    I used to live in the states. Loved my years there and adore the friends I made. However, regarding TV... my bugbear about the import and export issue is that we buy successful US TV shows for broadcast in the UK. Eg: Golden Girls, Starsky & Hutch, Cheers, Frasier, Cagney & Lacey, Roseanne, Taxi, Friends, Kojak, Happy Days, Will & Grace, ER, Greys Anatomy... I could go on forever. (This, I think, also plays into why we're so much more aware of their culture than they are of ours).
    But... America, for the most part, REMAKES successful British shows and, other than the Office, they mostly fail.
    There's an arrogance about that, as if our TV isn't good enough as is, and Americanising it will make it somehow better.
    You'd think by now, after so many fails, they'd just buy them and show them in their OG state. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    The new Whose line is it anyway isn't a reboot, it's just new seasons with almost the same participants from the early 2000s show you grew up on, even Laura Hall and Linda Taylor were there as the musicians, the only main difference is Aisha Tyler is hosting instead of Drew Carey.

    The Satuma Complex isn't an autobiography but is well worth a read. It might as well be, though, as his actual life is just as odd, and you certainly picture him as the lead character and can hear his voice as you read it. 😂

    Very interesting, that last section! Hi from N Ireland. And yes, I've often made this observation about the distinct uniqueness of UK "panel show" comedy - and how legit god tier it is - vs the lack of it over there. I'm 39, and remember vividly watching the first series of "Have I Got News For You" in 1990, no IDEA wtf the politics was about, but laughing my head off at the shildish humour of Paul Merton, and indeed "Whose Line is it Anyway?", which ofc, was also largely accessible to kids.

    It is possibly the greatest panel show ever created on British TV, and certainly better than all others remaining. No politics, no whining, no virtue signalling, just performers doing what they do best. It is really a treat! It's a strange relic, like one of those ancient Egyptian Obelisks encountered in Rome, Paris or London, still there after all these years because nobody can think of anything better to replace it.
    Btw, on the radio check out "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" the self-styled "antidote to panel shows".

    14:52 I pretty much quit drinking towards the end of 2023 and one of the reasons was I had a very boozy evening and spent the next day in my bathtub. There was no water in the bathtub, there was just me. It just felt safer than my bed, I knew I couldn't fall out of it as long as I didn't try to stand up. Once I _could_ stand up I took a shower and went to bed. My step counter for that day showed a total of about 8 steps. Anyway it was surprisingly comfortable and if I'm ever home alone and severely hungover again in the future I'll definitely do that again.
