As an Iranian who has lived in the USA for the past 47 years, I'm very proud of Omid. This is the 2nd time I see him. Both times he has impressed me with his intellect and sense of humor.
I never knew or understood why Omid did just disappear from British screens. A truly funny gentleman and a such an eloquent yet passionate speaker. Props to you my man!
How refreshingly honest. If only there were more people in the world like Omid in charge. Imagine what he could do with the military budgets of just one country of the world. But like he said there are too many of those who want to keep things as they are. Love the podcast.
What a gem. Been watching OD from his standup days. Couldn't believe when the beeb dropped his show. Brilliant guy despite his Chelsea allegiances. Class act
The BBC became concerned by his popularity! Perhaps a nudge also came from the government! We wouldn't want an Iranian to rise to national prominence, would we?!
Bravo! Brilliant interview with two compassionate, thinking men. As a practicing Buddhist from the Midwest US, I appreciate Channel 4’s reporting. Yes, we are all connected. Unified Field Theory is getting closer to explaining the true nature of reality. May Syria be a lamp in this world of darkness illuminating that all types of people can actually live together and respect each other. I am cheering for their possibilities of a new way to exist. Namaste to you All!!!
Ye know, I laughed from the belly several times though this interview... and then in that closing statement, Omid made me actually cry with hope. I'm still waiting to buy Djalili Piccalilli ;)
Love the people here that haven’t seen anything he’s done outside of films and tv and surprisingly that he has great values and is a great human being. Give it’s 2 decades more and he’ll be the uks equivalent of Danny diveto
Awesome VERY uplifting and funny interview indeed :). Omid is the kinda guy I would want in a position of power : smart, principled, sees the bigger picture, interested in and striving for progress of humanity ( couldn't care less about any persons race !!!). A Key Statement which holds true too : " In this life don't take things personally"....So true many idiots and depraved people along the journey so don't waste energy on them !!
Omid is a passionate man,,very aspiring and best of both UK & Iran..Once he was asked at the border entry, where are you from, he replied Uk and Iran, that makes me UKaranian!! still remember that,,my hat up to you Omid...keep going and god bless..x
The Human Race : If we all thought of the world in that way we would care about the present & the future AND we would understand the past & stop judging or resenting others. There wouldn’t be “others”!
Maybe Channel 4 should focus on Syria to the extreme extent they do on Israel. This civil war has killed 20 times the people than has been killed in Gaza.
To call it a civil war is an insult to all those who got killed in this war. It's a proxy war wherein the US, Iran, Turkey and Russia are the key players. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also playing their roles as financiers of the war. The UK is now irrelevant and hopefully will be more irrelevant as time goes by.
Nice to see Channel 4 has created a broadcast grade podcast studio. No anglepoise arms spoiling the picture. And the mics are set discretely low, not blocking faces.
@benstutley2904 Thank you. As an engineer in media technology, I can state that most RUclips podcasters are clueless about the choice of equipment and grammar of picture cutting. The Shure mic you mention is unsuitable for video use due to low sensitivity (which implies close miking) and unsightly appearance, but gets aped by the hopeful masses of utubers!
@ it’s one capacitor removed from an SM58 which we’ve all used for decades! -excellent at close mic’ing, -baffle off basically a 57! Sorry, I’m being a massive nerd, and know less than you, but do love to expose the simple things! Nice Work Dude, All the Best! 🤘😊
We have to be realists! Persia(Iran), Syria are the countries with much longer history, 10 times longer, maybe 100 times LONGER and richer than, for example, USA. People live the way their ancestors lived. West started these "spring" uprisings in 2011. Nearly all of the countries affected now became poor and much worse then before 2011. Lybia was on of the richest on African continent with lots of ideas. look at Lybia now, look at Syria. Assad received his education as a doctor, lived in London and studying there. Everyone makes mistakes. Bashar Assad was one of the leaders in Middle East who did protect his country. IS leftover gang did find new home in Idlib on the border with Turkey. The Islamist militant group HTS IS THE SAME people who did cut people heads on TV. Now they are more careful and pretend to be changed and to care about Syria. Turkey's Erdogan is main reason for latest news. He is supplying them terrorist, feeding them. Kurds are long USA proxy power.Syrian army betrayed Assad. All these years they did fight IS, but now run away just because of 30 000 Islamists? It took them just 2 weeks to take over the country?Lies! Americans, Turkey, Israel and Western European countries is to blame!!!!!Nobody even knows how this fake democracy will end . On 28 June 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) stated that at least 306,887 civilians had been killed in Syria during the conflict between March 2011 and March 2021, representing about 1.5% of its pre-war population. This figure did not include indirect and non-civilian deaths.How many will die? Hom many people left country and how many will leave? Now is too late! West is celebrating!!!Now this democracy will be brought to the West!!!! Jinn is out of the bottle!!!!!
absolute trof! I'm no Iran supporter... but to say stopping Iran is the key to solving the Israel Palestine issue is absolute BS on a monumental scale, and discredits all his 'i'm an angel' act
@@Bungle-UKBecause Sykes Picot were followers of Islam right, the middle east was and is cut up by the west. The onky actual theology that follows the earth being one for all is Islam..don't talk out of your backside

@@Bungle-UK I'm a follower of Muhammad and we exemplify it in our five daily prayers where we stand shoulder to shoulder in ranks facing the Kaaba in Mecca and bowing and prostrating to the One God who's the God of all human beings and all creation. And if you watch Hajj i.e. the Great Pilgrimage on any Saudi tv network or any Arab or Muslim tv station you can witness the great unity of humanity on display 24/7 for the whole world to see. Hajj is the greatest demonstration of the unity of mankind where irrespective of race, ethnicity, nationality and gender people from all walks of life and parts of the world come together to celebrate the unity of God and the unity of mankind.
The question is , Gaza is under siezed from land, air and sea. How does Iran get acces to Gaza and dump weapons over there? It is difficult to understand.
If by West you mean the United States it’s probably too late for that. After more than 20 years of war that lead to nowhere in the Middle East most Americans have had enough. If the UK/EU want to get involved, nobody is stopping you.
Might have helped Syria if the UK had not financed extremist Islamic forces and created the civil war. If the UK feels it's going to get better from here, they are sadly mistaken. Afghanistan/ Libya here we come again
@@parsaeyeHe is clueless, he admitted he doesn't even know the group that led the new syrian revolution..even though they've been around for years. He's a good comedian..but he's waffling on geopolitics
This is an extremely ill-informed guest. I’m not sure why Krishnan couldn’t simply ask “If the Islamic Republic of Iran is an impediment to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, why wasn’t there peace between the two before the establishment of the Islamic Republic?”

Always loved Omid's humour. Now I respect his values and his humanity. A great soul.
Fascinating chat, thank you. Never realised Omid had so much depth.

Hes a class act innit, not only a quality Actor/comedian
Omid Jalili is far more enlightened and got more sensible ideas than most other British comedians - very intelligent and at same time such a good guy
Comedy actors in charge of the Ukraine too. 😂
@@paulgibbons2320 well, there you go
I never knew or understood why Omid did just disappear from British screens. A truly funny gentleman and a such an eloquent yet passionate speaker. Props to you my man!

A great journalist, a great comedian - a wonderful conversation.
Nice to know there is still hope in the world
Omid is a National Treasure.

Doesn’t mean you have to get involved. Let them govern themselves.

Great interview but a bit naive to think removing Iran will solve the problem in Israel/Palestine.
The question is , Gaza is under siezed from land, air and sea. How does Iran get acces to Gaza and dump weapons over there? It is difficult to understand.
They pay the whole group. Dollars
Through all the disgusting TUNNELS BUILT…
We have lost humanity
First episode I actually liked.
"the west" "the west""the west""the west""the west", no this is a you problem and surrounding neighbours. Solve it yourselves.
Fabulous interview. Watch it.
2 national treasures

Irrelevant Iranian
This is an extremely ill-informed guest. I’m not sure why Krishnan couldn’t simply ask “If the Islamic Republic of Iran is an impediment to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, why wasn’t there peace between the two before the establishment of the Islamic Republic?”
Because successive Palestinian leaders have refused to sign a peace agreement. You appear to be a lackey of the mullahs and clueless about the topic!
EXACTLY.
Omid clearly only cares about his career.
It is one thing to care, but what action do you advocate ?
Did you make it clear to Palestinian friends that you are not an Arab but Persian
