Ade Edmundson was on Desert Island Discs this week. He got very emotional talking about Rik. One of the most touching things I've heard on the radio for ages.
Ross is so hopelessly outclassed here even though his guests are toning it down and it is evident how nervous he is to be in the presence of these two titanic personalities and intellects. He knows that at any second Mayall and Edmonson could take control of the entire show, with full audience support and there's NOTHING anyone could do to stop them.
I had the good fortune to run into Rik Mayall way back in the late 80's off Leicester Square one weekend night. We spoke for a period of time about the young ones and this and that, until we parted ways. Lovely friendly man.
Jonathan Ross shows the amazing ability of an interviewer to get in the way of two of the finest comics and people. How sad he just couldn't let the interview happen.
Incredible interview technique here by Mr Ross. He has two of the most popular comedians of the day; one with a larger than life 'Off stage' personality, the other by contrast quieter, more considered and the opposite to his 'On-stage' persona, and yet despite this veritable goldmine of material to work with.... Ross manages somehow to suck the lifeblood out of the pair of them.
Honestly, I can't see how Ross made a career for himself. Kudos to him, obviously. I have yet to come across a clip of Ross that didn't bore or frustrate me.
Ross is just awful..talks too fast..doesn't feel natural interviewer ALWAYS tries to be funnier than his guests. I never ever liked him so couldn't watch interview. Happened upon this clip ugh! Love bottom though
JR always did try to ape that 'American-style' chat show where the host is a stand-up comedian (although I don't think Ross himself ever was), and the guest has to work really hard to get out of the ghetto of second fiddle. Danny Baker did the exact same thing with that show he had in the mid-90s, and that was annoying and unfunny too. You'd pray for someone like Peter Cook or Robin Williams to come on and effortlessly outclass him.
Ross is like a happiness vampire. He drains all good feeling out of everyone he ever has on his show. It somehow makes him feel like a bigger man, even though his career is based on being an interviewer of celebrities, cause he has no talent in his own right,

@@zacmumblethunder7466 I get emotional thinking about the amazing guy.. I’ve a lot of happy memories pulled from a bad childhood watching his stuff.. I miss him.
I met Rick Mayall briefly in the late 80s whilst working in Edinburgh and he was so bluddy hilarious whilst not trying, a true funny man who made so many funny clips...
I always thought Ade was funnier, but they are both legends to comedy ❤ Nigel and Chris were brilliant aswel. Just a shame how little they made together. RIP Rik Mayall 😇🙏
@allenniumfalcon Hus are the only episodes of "Jonathan Creek" that I can still enjoy watching. Solely for his performance. I so wanted the BBC to do a spin off series of his character.
How Jonathan Woss evades the snipers bullet still baffles me. Ric is dearly missed, both of these guys were a big part of my teenage years, great that Adrian is still on the loose...
Ross had two legends on his show and he wasted the opportunity to ask some decent questions. Every time it seemed that it was about to get good he cut them off with banality. What a thoroughly annoying man.
"that's because we don't use gas" "How do you heat the water for the tea then" "We make love....not with each other.....on our own" "We don't, we have it cold, don't we dreamboat?" "That's right we have it....cold?" Absolutely fookin love Rik and Ade
That comes from my favorite episode of "Bottom"! By 5 minutes in, I was literally crying on the floor laughing, barely able to breathe and my sides cramping up. Rik and Ade easily rank in the top comedy duos of all time
@@nudesoftheworld They Think It's All Over was on TV from the early Nineties to mid-2000s. Ross was on it often in the mid-Nineties. I liked Rik Mayall, but Ross is quick-witted.
@@CrazyInsanelikeafox Thanks. Nice to get some support here!!! Ross could have been a stand-up comedian. That's why he was chosen over others to compere awards.
Rik Mayall is impossibly handsome. And was such a talent. We saw him on stage doing the New Statesman many years ago. He walked on. Forgot his first line and brought the house down. It was Boxing day night. He'd obviously had a few bevies and he just really had fun playing the part of Alan Bastard. We laughed all night. All the way to the station and all the way home. He had a way of behaving like you were all friends for years. Tremendous stage presence. It was impossible to take your eyes off him. A great loss to Britian when he died.
Two of the best comics I’ve ever seen they truly defined comedy for me back in the 80s and 90s. Was such a shame to lose Rik Mayall and the characters he portrayed over the years. Still love ade edmondson and his one liners “this might make your eyes water” 😂
I grew up watching these two. Currently rewatching Bottom. It was and is just beautifully silly and over the top. They never try to force humour in their sketches. They are just two blokes having a laugh and that's what was so great about them. Shame the Rik died. They were looking at doing a comeback but it shall never be.

Ok, so, I'm a 44 year old guy from the USA. I absolutely loved The Young Ones back in high school and other British humor, even getting bootleg VHS of the bottom.

Until now I had only seen Mayall and Edmondson in character, so it's been comforting to see them in a calm, healthy state of being as opposed to one of their awesome, manic characters. Wish they could have talked more. Now I'm gonna go watch an episode of young ones and laugh my a$$ off, again! "Oh! Have we got a video?" "YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO!!!"
Rik and Ade have given me so many great memories over the years, they are amongst the greatest uk comedy double acts ever but dont get enough mentions ... good luck to Ade in the future and RIP Rik , heaven got alot more entertaining the day u walked through the gates!!!!
My mum's cousin was best friends with them at university. One of the real life Young Ones. Taught Rik how to play Greensleeves on piano. Lucky bastard!
First time seeing this, Jonathan Ross never seems to shut up and let Rik and Ade speak, he's also slightly condescending to them both, Rik and Ade did really well not to get annoyed, love Rik and Ade, saw them twice live in Blackpool, bottom live, funniest show I've ever been to, miss Rik to this day, but he's left us a wonderful comedy legacy
It's weird - the gap between 1986 and 1991 felt like a generation, but was only 5 years and was here being held up as an example of how they haven't "moved on" in their comedy. These days, there could be a 5-year gap between series in the same show and no one would blink an eye.
You could tell he was young and inexperienced. He's gotten a lot better over the years, grew into the job as such. I can watch his interviews now, but this one here makes me cringe it's so embarrassing.
I cant describe how gutted I was when Rick died he was the funnyest man in the world he made me laugh in a way that nobody has ever had the same affect on me he was the perfect example of British comedy
Yeah hut he revealed too much truth about the illuminati plan. They've already carried it out now but Rik had to lose his life because he warned us. Even though hardly any of you listened

@@NFawc they're everywhere!? Ross has done absolutely nothing wrong apart from keeping it professionally timed for other shows to come on. The world nowadays is so miserable.
Just woke up and found out,totally gutted,Ive lived my life via The Young ones and all the Alternative Comedy Stuff. Proper gutted,my heart goes out to his family and friends
hi evrybody. im a gemran, just turned 60 last month october, and i must tell i visited britain/kent first time in 1984. that year i was just 30. and i got to see the young ones and later bottoms and fillthy, rich and catflap. my englsh that time very lauzy but my ex-brother in law had patience like hell to help me understnad the programs. untill today i cant think of nothing better in comedy as this two masters. ( brilliant too: benny hill, rowan atkinson ( black adder etc.), freddy star and others like fautlhy tower ....).top for me are rick in ooha sounds a bid rood and on train to university challence with neil (crop rotation was much more ( considerably more) widespread after.... i know this... dont tell me.... 1172... and milkman... : eddy: its a big bird with a bungle in his beak...
Ross always tried to take the piss out of his guests, Rik and Ade let him have his way only out of respect for a presenter at that time of night, a respect Ross knew fuck all about
Rik and Ade wrote and starred some of the funniest shows ever. The Young One's, The Comic Strip Presents, Dirty Movie, Bad News, A fistfull of travellers cheques, Mr Jolly lives next door, Bottom. All hilarious. The Young One's broke new ground in the '80s. Plus Rik as Kevin Turvey, and reading Roald Dahl's George's marvellous medicine on Jackanory. Rik is so missed.
@@pastorpresent7774 Yeah, but Ben Elton still wrote material for the show. I know that Rik and Lise his then girlfriend came up with the idea and they got the nod from the BBC to make the show but they felt they needed another writer in to help the show. Producer Peter Jackson said he was going to ask them to get another writer in anyway. If you watch the shows you can quite clearly see quite a bit of what Ben Elton wrote. It's on the bonus disc of the Young One's dvd. Also Lise Mayer said that at first Rik and herself were all over the place, then when Ben came on board he wrote almost all of the first episode. The reason they brought Ben in was because he was at the same university and he had written lots of plays and had got them produced while there. He was very prolific. Ben Elton definitely co-wrote the Young One's. Also Alexie Sayle wrote additional material.
I was a waiter at a hotel which had Rick, Ade and Ben Elton all in the restaurant at the same time. I was star struck and couldn't even go near their table without a dribble of urine coming out. I still had a 6 hour shift and got nappy rash, but i met my hero's.
It’s crazy how my mrs who is around 15 years younger than me who I introduced to bottom for the 1st time instantly said that I remind her of rik!... my sense of humer... the way I talk and my jokes... made me realise I actually am... I wish i was half the man rik was even if I’m wearing my SMASHING blouse! RIP Rik! There wil never be another... so so sad.... I love you brother! 💚
Pat Butcher do you really think so? Wish I could post pics on here because he had an exceptionally beautiful face imo. The hilarious gurning tended to often disguise this fact :)
As an Australian, I finally get the gag; "You're as funny as Jonathan Ross!" What a jabbering, overbearing prick he is! Was he going to let them get a word in? What a waste of TV time that was! I'm glad that Rik & Ade gave him very little to work with...his show was not worth their talent.
I can't believe he's gone. He was so full of life and energy and seemed such a lovely man. Comedy will never be the same now. I had a major crush on him in my late teens/early 20's. Hell, where did the time go? A piece of me died with Rik Mayall. So sad to think that we will never see Rik and Ade together again :( Hell. they should have got married.. Comedy these days is shite. The golden age of comedy has gone with Rik.
Same! I've been crushing on both since I was a babe, far too young for their humor, but they are both so full of life and cute! They will live forever in our hearts💗
I was at work tonight with my WANTED Rick and Ade t shirt, reference to the gas man episode, I always get compliments, tonight was no exception. Top bloke's, best of british 👌

Agree with the comments here..Ross was an utter pain..he ran on like a chipmunk not letting them get a word in..what an ass

It was a bit. Rehearsed not to be funny, thus making it funny when it went live. proto awkward humour

I cant describe how gutted I was when Rick died he was the funnyest man in the world he made me laugh in a way that nobody has ever had the same affect on me he was the perfect example of British comedy
Yeah hut he revealed too much truth about the illuminati plan. They've already carried it out now but Rik had to lose his life because he warned us. Even though hardly any of you listened

Rik was a brilliant man comedian and pure British humour that defies the test of time. Badly missed..... 😇😭😘
I can't get over how adorable Rik is in this
Jonathan Ross would have to be embarrassed now at the complete lack of respect he showed these two in this interview. Very condescending.
I believe he tries to be funny though, it's just that he's a twat
@@BRAMB0SSS I realise this is an old comment but you made my night. That's basically what I was thinking when I clicked 'show replies' thank you!
I doubt it. He's a fuckstain.
I think “Arse Wipe” is an appropriate term for Ross. There are some shite people on TV, but surely he tops them all.
Sadley, given the overwhelming robustness of his undeserved ego, he probably wouldn't even register what a twatt he was..... and is...
These guys are outstanding on and off camera. So lucky to have bought the complete Bottom collection recently. Binging it was well worth the effort.
Richie: "Eddie, you are funnier than Jonathan Ross"
Eddie: "But he's not funny"
Richie: "Precisely!
Woss just doesn't shut up, he asks a question and then talks over them!
John Lydon is the opposite, he always talks over the interviewer
Adam Jones OMP Wibble wobble wabble wubble wobble Er...wibble.
So you don't like the man, we get it. Why slag off his speech impediment though? That says more about you than him...
John C it’s a British in-joke luv, Wossey doesn’t mind.
Rik was an extremely talented and funny man. The opposite of Jonathan Ross in other words.
RIP Rik. Thanks for all the laughs. You will be greatly missed.
Why the needless Ross hate? Sheesh!
@@NFawc they're everywhere!? Ross has done absolutely nothing wrong apart from keeping it professionally timed for other shows to come on. The world nowadays is so miserable.
@@palmeristo "....The world nowadays is so miserable.

NO...... It's gloomy!!!!! ;-)

@@WhoAmEye_WhoAreEwe
... because Rik died.
@@Bless-the-Name - - definitely a contribulting factor!! Sadly.
:)
I saw Rik Mayall a few times back in the day. He had me in stitches every time. These two where simply amazing
Just woke up and found out,totally gutted,Ive lived my life via The Young ones and all the Alternative Comedy Stuff. Proper gutted,my heart goes out to his family and friends
When Jonathan Ross hadn’t yet learned that the guest is who the audience wants to hear. He’s become much better.
Yeah, he is just a twat now as opposed to a massive twat back in the day.
hi evrybody. im a gemran, just turned 60 last month october, and i must tell i visited britain/kent first time in 1984. that year i was just 30. and i got to see the young ones and later bottoms and fillthy, rich and catflap. my englsh that time very lauzy but my ex-brother in law had patience like hell to help me understnad the programs. untill today i cant think of nothing better in comedy as this two masters. ( brilliant too: benny hill, rowan atkinson ( black adder etc.), freddy star and others like fautlhy tower ....).top for me are rick in ooha sounds a bid rood and on train to university challence with neil (crop rotation was much more ( considerably more) widespread after.... i know this... dont tell me.... 1172... and milkman... : eddy: its a big bird with a bungle in his beak...
where in Kent did you go? I'm originally from there.
It's still hard to believe he is gone
aww going to miss rick, R.I.P , also Jonathan ross is a bit of a Twat
Ross always tried to take the piss out of his guests, Rik and Ade let him have his way only out of respect for a presenter at that time of night, a respect Ross knew fuck all about
UncleJackOnline He still does
I miss Rik too and Ross is a LOT of a twat.
@@allenscouse 👍
Andy TV Highlights it's pronounced twaith
Rik and Ade wrote and starred some of the funniest shows ever. The Young One's, The Comic Strip Presents, Dirty Movie, Bad News, A fistfull of travellers cheques, Mr Jolly lives next door, Bottom. All hilarious. The Young One's broke new ground in the '80s. Plus Rik as Kevin Turvey, and reading Roald Dahl's George's marvellous medicine on Jackanory. Rik is so missed.
Ben Elton wrote the Young Ones.
@@reinforcedpenisstem Ben Elton, Rik Mayall and Lise Mayer wrote the Young One's
@@kevanbrown7620 Lise Meyer and Rik Mayall wrote the young ones, they got ben elton in to edit the scripts.
@@pastorpresent7774 Yeah, but Ben Elton still wrote material for the show. I know that Rik and Lise his then girlfriend came up with the idea and they got the nod from the BBC to make the show but they felt they needed another writer in to help the show. Producer Peter Jackson said he was going to ask them to get another writer in anyway. If you watch the shows you can quite clearly see quite a bit of what Ben Elton wrote. It's on the bonus disc of the Young One's dvd. Also Lise Mayer said that at first Rik and herself were all over the place, then when Ben came on board he wrote almost all of the first episode. The reason they brought Ben in was because he was at the same university and he had written lots of plays and had got them produced while there. He was very prolific. Ben Elton definitely co-wrote the Young One's.
Also Alexie Sayle wrote additional material.
i first saw him guesting on the rock on tommy comedy show he totally owned it
Rik Mayall will always be loved and missed, TV & Comedy is flat without his touch, sigh!
It's amazing to have guests on a chat show, yet they can't get a word in......................
Gosh they spoke about Robin Williams at 7:09
Both Comedians Sorely Missed!
Rest In Peace Rik and Robin
That *is* a bit of a coincidence.
Damn is it 6 years since Robin died too?
At the beginning Woss mentions how comedians are often unhappy and I immediately thought of Robin.
This just makes the Jonathon Ross joke in S2E5 even funnier lol
I never get tired of these 2.
I was a waiter at a hotel which had Rick, Ade and Ben Elton all in the restaurant at the same time.
I was star struck and couldn't even go near their table without a dribble of urine coming out.
I still had a 6 hour shift and got nappy rash, but i met my hero's.
It’s crazy how my mrs who is around 15 years younger than me who I introduced to bottom for the 1st time instantly said that I remind her of rik!... my sense of humer... the way I talk and my jokes... made me realise I actually am... I wish i was half the man rik was even if I’m wearing my SMASHING blouse! RIP Rik! There wil never be another... so so sad.... I love you brother! 💚
damn Rik and Adrian both look fine as hell here
Gan Ade looks quite hot but Rik was ugly to me. RIP
Pat Butcher do you really think so? Wish I could post pics on here because he had an exceptionally beautiful face imo. The hilarious gurning tended to often disguise this fact :)
Completely agree, Bev. Rik was a beautiful looking man.
Acid is one helluva drug
Rik and Ade..simply brilliant
Interview: ends
Ade Edmondson: “Is that it??”
2 of my favourite comedy stars ! Bottom what a show ! We lost him way to early !
Rik was so handsome in this clip. And Ade with more hair,------ quite a revelation.
As an Australian, I finally get the gag; "You're as funny as Jonathan Ross!"
What a jabbering, overbearing prick he is!
Was he going to let them get a word in? What a waste of TV time that was! I'm glad that Rik & Ade gave him very little to work with...his show was not worth their talent.
Part of my childhood went with Rik .. Young ones and bottom. World was different then ..so gentle and humourous
Rick and Ade funny & interesting. Ross ineptly spoiling what would have been a great interview.
Miss both of them because we lost ade when Rick passed … I’m 43 and grew up watching these everyday
I can't believe he's gone. He was so full of life and energy and seemed such a lovely man. Comedy will never be the same now. I had a major crush on him in my late teens/early 20's. Hell, where did the time go? A piece of me died with Rik Mayall. So sad to think that we will never see Rik and Ade together again :( Hell. they should have got married..
Comedy these days is shite. The golden age of comedy has gone with Rik.
Same! I've been crushing on both since I was a babe, far too young for their humor, but they are both so full of life and cute! They will live forever in our hearts💗
I was at work tonight with my WANTED Rick and Ade t shirt, reference to the gas man episode, I always get compliments, tonight was no exception.
Top bloke's, best of british 👌
Mr Rosses Ego was ridiculous , he’s found out now with his Z list chat show - his guests are legends and basically show men never grow up thank God - RIP Mr Mayall you are sadly missed - keep going Mr Ade !
If Ross watches this now, I hope he is suitably embarrassed. JHFC, what a rod.
lets beone took me way too long to work out JHFC means Jesus H fucking Christ
Too arrogant and under educated to think that.
Even today
@@Tentin.Quarantino I got it straight away but then spent a good 30 seconds longer than I should trying to remember what the H stood for. I’m not sure which is worse.
Rik and Ade are great at interviewing Jonathan Ross. They let him do most of the talking!
This is 9 minutes of Jonathan Ross incessantly talking none-stop without letting Rik and Ade get a word in edge ways. At 6:05 Rik even gets visibly annoyed with it.
