i expect they have tried, but despite their control of their own public image they are not all that highly respected amongst the media conglomerates of the world and i think Louis' integrity keeps him to the more unbiased media sources. Netflix has a lot of vested interests to advertising and such that the BBC does not.
I adore this interview. It's like we're being invited to watch the inner ramblings of Louis Theroux, and they are utterly magnificent. That, and a solid lesson in grammar and sentence structure!
I think I would love to talk to him, just rambling on. I don't know if he would consider me one of the most boring people had ever met, but if he enjoys rambling from one indepht topic to another one I am his guy
@@chfr9573 Louis looks as Paul. I don't know what are you trying to say.:) My comment is related to the fact that his father is one of the greatest writers of our time.
😂 he’s so funny without being forceful about it . He seems like such a delight to be around would love to spend the day with him and poke his thoughts !
What height is Louis Theroux? He’s 6 foot 2 in a compact No slack But luckily the seats go back He’s got a knack to relax in his mind He’s feeling fine And he’s sipping some red red wi-i-i-ine
Its crazy how Theroux went from weird weekends to delving into the darkest corners of society. Shows how versatile and mentally strong he is as a journalist. His investigations always intruige me, im always glued to the screen. Louis theroux really is an amazing and skilled reporter, asking the questions which invoke the best and rawest responses from whoever he speaks to.
I think part of what makes Louis so trustworthy is the man is not scared to ask questions that lead to larger things while also staying respectful of the people. It is a disarming quality that not many presenters have but Louis does a really incredible job of it. I remember watching Weird Weekends long ago and seeing him doing that and it has helped me a lot in daily life when asking questions.
The way Louis spoke into the mic, he really does have a comforting and soothing voice. Perhaps he should do spoken ASMR, I bet if this was to happen he would have a well viewed channel.
I love it how Louis Theroux uses “tidying a garage” as his metaphor for escaping human contact, which is sooo grounded it could’ve very plausibly been literal. Most people generally use quite abstract metaphors before saying “not literally” - which is Louis’ sort’ve candid charm in a nutshell (but not a literal nutshell).
He also treats his subjects with a respect that's deeply rooted in humanist principles. He always treads carefully into sensitive topics and usually has a lot of "back up plans" in case the interview goes nowhere. If you look at his old interviews vs his new ones, you realize that he has worked on his craft a lot.
4:23 brilliant explanation. People say Louis is a badass for seemingly putting himself in danger, but if you had your own show and were being filmed/looked after 24/7 would you be worried? Louis is not an idiot, he knows that under these circumstances a logical criminal would not attack him on camera.
To be 200% honest, Tom Cardy made 2 separate songs about this guy and youtube finally recommended this video to me to explain whom this apparently omnipresent demi-being is.
@@jazmindodds I’m also here due to Tom Cardy, but did you ever find out the second (or first) Louis song? I too only know of the him being an omnipotent being one
I truly desire more content from him, I really miss his documentaries. Hopefully he can find the time to do a comeback, myself and many others would appreciate it so much. 🙏
"I enjoy being with my three children and my wife I'm making myself sound like the most boring person alive." Get on it Louis, we need another hit right now.
Louis is easily one of my favorite documentary film makers. I can't get enough of his content and thoroughly enjoyed his podcast with Joe Rogan. Thanks for all that you do Louis! Keep up the great work! 🙌
Just wanted to say I ADORE me some Louis Theroux ANY TIME. He makes me think, he makes me laugh, he makes me love and fear for him -PACKAGE. And that 'I'm stupid, please explain' face only works in his favour. I've been working on mine for years, and find that people LOVE to talk to it. They feel they're Helping.
I LOVE the way that Louis treats even the simplest question as a puzzle! He is so entertaining and the perfect person to front any documentary. This is the one person who the BBC should pay whatever he asks for to front as much as possible. Imagine Louis fronting Match of the Day for instance! 😂
I agree with the tweet, his voice is very comforting. Somehow, him saying the lyrics of a song without singing with autotune added sounds better than him actually singing it in the song
I never heard about this bloke. But after the Skeptic interview, I now feel I know him. He's like James May. Measured. Mindful. Joyful. A really enjoyable bloke
Some of my all time fave documentaries he has done are centered on the West Borough Baptist Church. Most people would lose their shit around those types of folk but not Louis, oh no, he handled it like a boss and I'd like to believe he helped influence the young lady that left her family over their views on society
I know it's unlikely, but I would love to see Louis and Andrew Callaghan collaborate or interact in any form since Andrew's cited Louis as his biggest influence. Maybe he could take Louis around some classic Channel 5 locales and characters. Just a thought lol
Yeah he's old haha, back around 1999 I remember he used to be just a young dude like me and my mates, only with sideburns.......heh heh......... OMG **I'M** MIDDLE-AGED!!!!!
I love the idea of the next Louis Theroux documentary having a graph in the left corner showing us what height he is throughout the documentary. That would be good customer service. The public deserves, nay, _needs_to know.
I just love him, I’m 32 and discovered him via that viral TikTok but took me the time for looking his documentaries and read his books and I’m in love, he’s a treasure.

@@HermesConrad9 was about to say the same. His earlier docs were wild and he had that youthful chirpiness
I’m surprised Netflix haven’t given him a multi million dollar contract to make documentaries for them
Lots of their staff are deeply loyal to the BBC. I’m sure they’ve given him raises as the popularity of his shows has increased.
They have the self proclaimed poor man's Louis Theroux in that host of Dark Tourist

Louis Theroux

Most people generally use quite abstract metaphors before saying “not literally” - which is Louis’ sort’ve candid charm in a nutshell (but not a literal nutshell).
This man needs a talkshow as soon as possible
He does have a podcast, Grounded with Louis Theroux
He has a not-threatening presence. Which helps if you want to interview dangerous people.
And a genuine interest in learning the lingo of whatever subject he's documenting, and the responses of those he interviews.
He also treats his subjects with a respect that's deeply rooted in humanist principles. He always treads carefully into sensitive topics and usually has a lot of "back up plans" in case the interview goes nowhere. If you look at his old interviews vs his new ones, you realize that he has worked on his craft a lot.

I just love Louis's thorough style of explaining things.
"Full disclosure: I have, in my life, done farts."
This is why he's the preeminent journalist of our time folks.
That made me laugh
Louis sees all of these questions as just interesting jumping-off points for discussion. Because of course.
not to be dramatic but i'm in love with this man
Did Louis Theroux study Latin at school? Yes, he uses fora as the plural of forum, even though forums is mostly used today.
6ft 2 in a compact no slack luckily the seats go back😉
He is wittier than most of the people who define themselves as comedians.
BBC absolute madlads for editing that smelly fart line to be the cold open
