Louis Theroux is best known for his documentaries in the television series "Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends" and "When Louis Met...", as well as his Louis Theroux's BBC Two specials.
Louis Theroux has a unique style, he manages to be respectful to the subject manner while still exposing what needs to be exposed. He also seems to have no ego which is very disarming and helps people open up to him even though they know what he is up to. Just a genuinely good bloke.
I would love to hear a 2-3 hour podcast between Louis and Duncan Trussell. IMO they both tick all the boxes for an ideal podcast guest - kind souls, super interesting stories, engaging, highly intelligent, humble and funny. They’re like RUclips unicorns….😂
@@roodog430 His father Paul Theroux would be a an excellent guest. Love his travel books and he has experience teaching in Africa so he knows where the aid money from the west ends up. He also has a low opinion on the 'so called' charitable organisations such as the Rockefeller Foundation.
They are liars and deviants they really believe all this thousands of years of lying they don't even know there doing it anymore.they believe nickel gizka is Christ.Hes not there is no god
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this but I went to a Scientology’s meeting and reading in Toronto in 1974 , I am now 63 and still receive mailings from them every other year
Dumbleduke , yes in 1974 I signed up, I followed for about 3-4 months and found it was not for me, actually called my contact and told him I was out, not for me, some things were informative, to each his own.
Yes! I think he makes such amazing films. L Ron Hubbard was bat shit crazy..he was a lying piece of shit. Even lying to everybody about everything. Even lying about his time in the war.. google the guy. I think all religion is completely ridiculous but scientology is so crazy
Louis pisses me off. He just doesn't have enough material out there to keep me satisfied. I can not get enough of him. Funniest and smartest journalist ever.
James Jones karl pilkington would never go to America to do a podcast. He doesnt like doing interviews or things like that, after his show thats coming out later this year he will bank the cash n go back into living a normal life.
Watching Louis Theroux speak is like crack . Everything he says is balanced and well worth hearing. The guy could have a nuanced opinion on tooth brushing technique and I'd listen.
Louie is extremely articulate. He’s never too wordy, never sounds like he’s trying to sound smart, and practically every word he says is used perfectly.
Louis Theroux is one of the best journalists in the world. He's one of the last honest, real, unbiased journalists whose only goal is to give his viewers the truth.
This guy comes off as one of the most friendly approachable people ever. I love people like this, you can detect that there isn’t a bad faith bone In his body
Or "they were a loner" - with the exception of Fred West, every time he went to the pub he said "I could murder a Tennent" - only Scottish people would get that one.
34:00 It doesn't matter what Charlie Hebdo's point was. You don't have a right to murder someone because your feelings are hurt. There is no gray area. YOU CAN'T MURDER SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY OFFENDED YOU! End of discussion. Thanks for making that clear in the end.
Stunt Panda Think Louis was trying to frame a devils advocate argument then quickly thought better of it. It's clear that neither of them think that it is in any way shape or form justified. His only point was that being murdered doesn't automatically validate a position which is correct but I agree he was a bit ham handed about it.
1:54:30 Obama WAS the founder of ISIS. People like Louis just take it as prima facie absurd and that he means it literally, but Trump's talking about how Obama's war actions opened a space, and gave motivation, for ISIS to form and grow. And he's right. That is what happened. How big a role it played can be debated, but that it did is unquestionable.

The Church of Latter Day Saints turns bat sh#t crazy when you actually read about their founder, Joseph Smith who wrote Book of Mormons as a horny 24 year old.
As someone who was raised Mormon, that's so true. People that are Mormon don't read into all the stuff out there that doesn't make sense and is contradictory in the LDS religion. But it's not just the Mormon religion, it's been all the religions i've looked into.
@@user-tk5fi1my5i I was around Scientology for two years.. it isn't a religion it's a dicipline. Never saw the word Love in print, it never referred to itself as some kind of path to spiritual enlightenment and if JC is mentioned, I didn't see it.
When you hear that Joseph Smith's encounter with this "Angel", called 'Moroni', you'd have to be a Real moron to believe anything in Mormonism, or Scientology for that matter(if you think critically, you can see that Scientology is full of Falsehoods, Fantasy and overall just Bad for the followers, who've been taken in by control-freaks. ).
Bernard Curtin yep and banging teenagers as young as 14 after threatening their families that an angel with a flaming sword would kill them all if they didn’t hand her over
Did u see Louis' fuckin change in his projection when he became Tom cruise??? It was absolutely genius. I love when joe asks for the second round of impression and Louis goes right back into it. Rewound it 50 times
@@pinkberryconsumer4059 From vocabulary.com: Search Results Featured snippet from the web It's all in the pronunciation. Reach for articulate when you need an adjective meaning "well-spoken" (pronounced ar-TIC-yuh-lit)
I love Louis Theroux, he is so open minded and you can tell somethings clearly go against his belief, but he still listens to others point of view. Incredible.
Leah Remini says she wrote a Knowledge Report on Tom Cruise for ‘that’ incident. She said that he was ‘jumping on couches and being inappropriate’. I love that. 👍🏻
If you haven't watched any of Louis' documentaries, start with the Westboro Baptist Church documentary and follow the rabbit hole. Louis has this way of trolling people without being too obvious.
Internet Police in an odd way sometimes he is very blatant with hanging shit, he just does it when he knows his subject is much too stupid to understand. Like when he corrected that dude about Jesus being a Jew.
Attenborough copied Americans Richard? How the fuck did you work that out? Attenborough was doing docs on the BBC in Black and white and BBC nature docs are the best in the world fact. Name a single American nature doc better than BBC? It doesn't exist you moron.
Nat Geo and Discovery wish they could make an Attenborough nature doc. They copy everything he does at a poorer level. Go and watch Planet Earth 2 and come back to me about what the BBC copied from American nature docs. The BBC are the Elite in the field.
He manages to put this ridiculous organisation down, really whipping out the rug from under their feet, in a gentle and funny way. Who doesn't love Louis 🙂
I was just telling my mom with advanced Alzheimer's tonight,"we just need to rain liquid psilocybin on the whole world. Might destroy some people. Might change how people look at each other and treat each other forever. Don't be mean because you never know what the other person might be going through. That really is meaningless to most people.
TheSicarius americans are too dense to understand any other humour but straight up jokes like kevin hart for example. no wit to him just blatant, boring comedy
Scientology is clearly crazy…. But I gotta say that vinegar trick, it’s legit. I’ve been a server for years. We’ve use that trick for a long time in the industry.
Louis Theroux is one of the best journalists in the world. He's one of the last honest, real, unbiased journalists whose only goal is to give his viewers the truth.
I read an article interviewing Tom Cruise a few years ago, and it was pretty favorable, the reporter went to one of his homes and told what they spent the day doing, etc. And then in the last paragraph, he talked about when he was leaving, he was just feeling so good, felt like he and Tom had made a real connection, that he'd got some great material, etc. Then it hit him as Tom turned to go and he walked to his car...he'd never even been invited inside. He spent the whole day with him, outside. And he just thought that was kind of a metaphor for the whole experience--Tom kept his walls up, even while making you feel like he's your best friend. Just stuck with me.
A journalist is not a total stranger.He represents an institution. He had to ask for permission.Third pretty sure Tom gets to pick the location. Forth Tom has bodyguards. Fifth are you a Scientologist?
OGSpaceCadet we most likely never see the crazy shit going on inside his homes...just the fact celebrities have more than 1 home is fucked up enough ..lol
Louis talking about "going native" made me laugh. That's their edge, how they get people in. Making you feel like "....this isn't bad or completely wrong...." but it's better to think "... wait a minute, what am I doing!...."
If I had five people to sit at a table with dead or alive louis theroux would definitely be on that list. He's incredible I'm so impressed by his knowledge and stories
Louis is one of the best journalists of our generation, such a cool dude
he's a master at his craft

This was a thought provoking episode. Joe. I am an older retiree who tries to stay in touch with things going on in the world. You are a trusted source of relevance and I appreciate what you do and how you do it. Thank you for helping me to stay sane.❤
Stands the test of time. Thanks Joe and Louis.
Scientology: Making Mormons look sane since 1952
The Church of Latter Day Saints turns bat sh#t crazy when you actually read about their founder, Joseph Smith who wrote Book of Mormons as a horny 24 year old.
As someone who was raised Mormon, that's so true. People that are Mormon don't read into all the stuff out there that doesn't make sense and is contradictory in the LDS religion.
But it's not just the Mormon religion, it's been all the religions i've looked into.
@@user-tk5fi1my5i I was around Scientology for two years.. it isn't a religion it's a dicipline. Never saw the word Love in print, it never referred to itself as some kind of path to spiritual enlightenment and if JC is mentioned, I didn't see it.
When you hear that Joseph Smith's encounter with this "Angel", called 'Moroni', you'd have to be a Real moron to believe anything in Mormonism, or Scientology for that matter(if you think critically, you can see that Scientology is full of Falsehoods, Fantasy and overall just Bad for the followers, who've been taken in by control-freaks. ).
Bernard Curtin yep and banging teenagers as young as 14 after threatening their families that an angel with a flaming sword would kill them all if they didn’t hand her over
I have been waiting a long time for this guy to come back. His documentaries are fascinating.
true that!!
Amazing guest. Never heard of him before, Im very interested in his work.
MultiMemich For real? You need to see some of his docos. Try 'twilight of the porn stars' for a start
Fucking A
Fascinating? They are some of the best documentaries ever!!!!!!
When he said I thought I was a poached egg I spat my water out everywhere 😂😂
"I can beat Moose and Squirrel with one hand tied behind my back"
Louis Theroux's impression of Tom Cruise is subtly excellent.
Burial 1:24:33
Did u see Louis' fuckin change in his projection when he became Tom cruise??? It was absolutely genius. I love when joe asks for the second round of impression and Louis goes right back into it. Rewound it 50 times
Yoga Boner fuckin genius. When joe asks him to do the impression the second time watch how much Louis gets into it. His head snaps to attention!
Burial You just have to pretend you have no soul and look vacant
Burial 🤣
Imagine Tom Cruise coming back as a chipmunk and remembering he used to be Tom Cruise 😂
I think that I'm Tom Cruise (Tom Cruise Tom Cruise Tom Cruise)
@@ottohashmi Malkovich Malkovich?
Biocentrism aka Daryl Bailey.
What do you mean, Imagine?
him coming back as? He IS a fucking chipmunk!
Have you been Injured in an auto accident?Are you a victim of sexual harassment?If so call the law offices of Tom Cruise and Tom Cruise
Otto Hashmi *looks around, hands and shoulders flare out*
“SERIOUSLY?! THIS IS GLIB!”
I’ve possibly enjoyed this interview with Louis Theroux most out of all of Joe’s podcasts.😊
I really appreciate that he doesn’t go so deep into what Scientologists find sacred. It’s really respectful to them.
Louis Theroux is legit the most articulate guy who's ever gone mainstream. His grasp of the language is a gift to the listeners. Legend.
Wrong Graham Hancock blow them away Plus you aren't too articulated because that's the word not articulate
@@pinkberryconsumer4059 "Articulate" works fine in that context and is grammatically correct.
@@CiderGnome how do you figure he's speaking in past tense
@@pinkberryconsumer4059 I have no idea what you mean. "most articulate guy" is correct. Look up the words articulate and articulated. You're confused.
@@pinkberryconsumer4059 From vocabulary.com: Search Results
Featured snippet from the web
It's all in the pronunciation. Reach for articulate when you need an adjective meaning "well-spoken" (pronounced ar-TIC-yuh-lit)
I love Louis Theroux, he is so open minded and you can tell somethings clearly go against his belief, but he still listens to others point of view. Incredible.
Its simply confidence. He is confident in his belief and intelligent. He wont get triggered with this perspective.
Must be a PISCES :)
Its his job lel
He’s a total hottie
@@doeeyeddevil4896 doesn't look like a fish to me.
I just realised how intentional and seamless every word louis says is, fantastic episode
My money don't jiggle
Leah Remini says she wrote a Knowledge Report on Tom Cruise for ‘that’ incident.
She said that he was ‘jumping on couches and being inappropriate’.
I love that. 👍🏻
"I thought I was a poached egg for a few weeks" that was one of the funniest lines I think Louis had ever said 😂😂😂
Joe agreed! Nice to see a genuine interaction x
My money don't jggle jiggle
Maybe the cartoonists were killed also for centuries of disrespect of the crescent by turning it into a pastry AKA the croissant.
wish every school had a louis as a teacher
whatsmy nameagain my philosophy teacher was just like him. Glasses and nerdy hair included
whatsmy nameagain seriously
If you haven't watched any of Louis' documentaries, start with the Westboro Baptist Church documentary and follow the rabbit hole. Louis has this way of trolling people without being too obvious.
Internet Police in an odd way sometimes he is very blatant with hanging shit, he just does it when he knows his subject is much too stupid to understand.
Like when he corrected that dude about Jesus being a Jew.
Internet Police loved those documentaries
When he interviewed the Neo Nazis and wouldn't confirm or deny if he was Jewish. That was high tier trolling
Heroin Town is my favourite Louis documentary
I love this guy! He has a great sense of humor and seems incredibly bright. Thanks for the introduction JR.
Check out his documentaries if he's new to you on netflix or online , you won't be disappointed
Yes, his early stuff.. "the weird weekend with Louis Theroux" is really ahead of its time. He was "trolling" before it was a thing.
2 guys talking uninterrupted--no cell phones -the good old days….😎💥💥💥
That the art of Louis, he looks aloof, acts aloof, but underneath he is forming very powerful opinions.
RandomComputer both his parents where intellectuals and he went to a pretty good school then Cambridge I think.
Geoff Saunderson Oxford but same game
He doesn’t act like a loof at all wow you’re dumb lol
@@worldisfilledb yes he does, you knob
@@worldisfilledb yeah really does, he is also very passive, such a fantastic guy
Louis: I don't want to talk about their believes in a mocking manner
Joe: HAhahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Time for a follow-up with Louis.
I tried to read that book •Dianetics as well and I’m very glad to heard somebody else founded weird and not easy to read.
English documentary filmakers are the best. Attenborough, Theroux etc.
please can you source who Therouxs style is copied from the US ? id be interested to see their work
richard chung ssssshhhhhhhh 🤫
Attenborough copied Americans Richard? How the fuck did you work that out? Attenborough was doing docs on the BBC in Black and white and BBC nature docs are the best in the world fact. Name a single American nature doc better than BBC? It doesn't exist you moron.
Nat Geo and Discovery wish they could make an Attenborough nature doc. They copy everything he does at a poorer level. Go and watch Planet Earth 2 and come back to me about what the BBC copied from American nature docs. The BBC are the Elite in the field.
Nick Broomfield.
Louis Theroux on Scientology ' It's structured almost like a mcdonalds'
Carey Hunt jiijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiijijijijijiij
He manages to put this ridiculous organisation down, really whipping out the rug from under their feet, in a gentle and funny way. Who doesn't love Louis 🙂
I disagree. Scientology is a business, not a religion.
I really like this man's descriptions. This is better than most JR interviews! I'm gonna follow this dude.
Louis has done some fantastic documentaries
scientology wouldn't accept me, I was on zyprexa for 10 years because I had an episode where I thought I was a poached egg for a few weeks
I had a similar experience, but soft boiled.
That's A Quote. Who Said That ? That's Gonna Bug Me All Day Now !
Be honest, who here hasn't felt like a poached egg for a few weeks?
AK S poached with runny yolks? please say runny yolks.
Even today I felt like hard boiled egg honestly
I’d love to get Louis back - a true legend.
I was just telling my mom with advanced Alzheimer's tonight,"we just need to rain liquid psilocybin on the whole world. Might destroy some people. Might change how people look at each other and treat each other forever. Don't be mean because you never know what the other person might be going through. That really is meaningless to most people.
Louis is my favourite documentarist by far. He was doing ground breaking work on sensitive fields before anyone else.
Wow.... You MUST be a Gen Z!?
Documentarian*
His documentary about the Miami Dade County Jail is really good!
@@TomasEndsieg and you must be knob, prove me wrong
@@jjbrowned313 And you must be Joseph.
Louis could actually have a career as a stand up comedian. Classic dry British humor 😂
Ohhh that’s why I didn’t laugh
Americans just won’t get it
"Did we just do a commercial?" He gets that documentary cheeky question voice going hard too lol.
Thats why i love his docs. His humer gos straight over the yanks head lol
TheSicarius americans are too dense to understand any other humour but straight up jokes like kevin hart for example. no wit to him just blatant, boring comedy
Scientology is clearly crazy…. But I gotta say that vinegar trick, it’s legit. I’ve been a server for years. We’ve use that trick for a long time in the industry.
Louis Theroux is one of the best journalists in the world. He's one of the last honest, real, unbiased journalists whose only goal is to give his viewers the truth.
Louis has a new documentary mini series starting soon on BBC it's called altered States. He is the godfather of documentaries.
When please?
Who is Ken Burns then?
Get Louis back on about his documentary about meeting Joe exotic and Jimmy saville
He talked about it the first time he was on
Didn’t he do a doc on Michael Jackson?
Jimmy Scott Sort of. It’s worth a watch but it’s quite hard to explain what it is. It’s not really about him but it also isn’t not about him.
B oh I saw it when I was young
Yeah why is the whole thing on this cult of Hubbard
Interesting watching this 6 years later, and knowing how things panned-out...
This guy is cool as fuck, I don't think he realizes how funny he actually is. Great guest, what an interesting guy.
You can tell Joe really likes louis. Love the way Louis let's Joe talk too
"even L.Ron. Hubbard would agree with that' Louis tactfully requesting that his interview get back on track
timestamp
"My money don't jiggle jiggle"
Louis Theroux and Stephen Fry are two of our national treasures.
I read an article interviewing Tom Cruise a few years ago, and it was pretty favorable, the reporter went to one of his homes and told what they spent the day doing, etc. And then in the last paragraph, he talked about when he was leaving, he was just feeling so good, felt like he and Tom had made a real connection, that he'd got some great material, etc. Then it hit him as Tom turned to go and he walked to his car...he'd never even been invited inside. He spent the whole day with him, outside. And he just thought that was kind of a metaphor for the whole experience--Tom kept his walls up, even while making you feel like he's your best friend. Just stuck with me.
Hi bro, have you got a link to this or remember which organisation published it? Been trying to find it for a couple of hours but no luck yet. x
TheLyingTruthTeller Then why invite the journalist to his home in the first place.
A journalist is not a total stranger.He represents an institution. He had to ask for permission.Third pretty sure Tom gets to pick the location. Forth Tom has bodyguards. Fifth are you a Scientologist?
OGSpaceCadet we most likely never see the crazy shit going on inside his homes...just the fact celebrities have more than 1 home is fucked up enough ..lol
Louis is so damn fun to listen to, especially when he give up or loses track of a point, very humerus and captivating all at once
humorous
Yea his arm IS captivating.
Don’t forget boney…
Lootra oooooo😅olol
Hummus?
Louis talking about "going native" made me laugh. That's their edge, how they get people in. Making you feel like "....this isn't bad or completely wrong...." but it's better to think "... wait a minute, what am I doing!...."
If I had five people to sit at a table with dead or alive louis theroux would definitely be on that list. He's incredible I'm so impressed by his knowledge and stories
Lets have Louis back on JRE in 2018 please!
Louis Theroux on JRE 2019 make it happen joe
Just in case... can you have him on in 2020?
2021....2022....etc...
Well 2018 didn't happen so I'm assuming they killed him.
You think hazard leaving Chelsea?
Kevin Garcia hazard needs to be playing champions league. Must leave
