Richard Ayoade is always so damn quick witted, I love how he'll just pause while everyone processes the ridiculous statements he just makes, followed by the inevitable laughter. Every time I see this man in anything, I end up laugh-crying. Such a gem.
Just in case you don't already know, Richard, while not the host, has been on Adam Buxton's podcast twice. The first time was recorded during downtime while they filmed an episode of Richard's Travel Man show, and the second as a book club discussing Richard's favourite book The Catcher in the Rye along with Sara Pascoe. As far as I know he has not been on any other podcasts (unless you know of others..?)

Clare Foxx Personal fear of death always confuses me. Death is easy, it’s not like you’ll care once you’re dead. Your afterlife (children) will go on without you. I think the real fear is missing people you like once they die. Change is hard.
This is one of the best Richard Ayoade interviews I've ever seen. The host was so charming, so witty, genuinely curious, and appreciative of Ayoade's style of humor. I loved the bit where he refused to comment on the possibility of being underappreciated :)
I have watched a few of the interviews from this site. This style of intimate, less frenetic, interview harks back to an simpler time, which nowadays seems refreshingly new. No gimmicks, hosted by a professional rather than some comedian trying to get laughs, great job. You even managed to get more out of Richard than most interviews I have seen. Ayoade is thoroughly interesting and underrated, even although that might be self inflicted.
Agreed. In a way it is a bit similar to the Dick Cavett Show interviews that have popped up on UA-cam recently. In the comments of those people are constantly asking why that kind of shows aren’t made anymore - relaxed, respectful, inquisitive. And I think Skavlan is proof that they are.
@@SkavlanTV I want to say thank you to you all as well. This has to be the best interview I've seen since the early 90's. It's like watching Wogan again. It's annoying how many interviewers crave the attention that should be for their guests. Richard clearly enjoyed being on your show. I'm subscribing.
@@SkavlanTV it's true. I love this show. I love your quiet, intimate, respectful persona; and it's obvious your guests do as well. You get great interviews.
My God, that's one of Richard's best interviews! His charming peculiarities are even more highlighted by the co-in-the-studio-sitters, who didn't seem to 100% get his personality straight away. His speeches about cinema are the most delightful bit of wordsmithery.
Excuse me, I rather noticed sincere interest, politely quiet attention as well as genuine appreciation. Plus: he has a unique style which is given plenty of space (a thing we rarely see these times in chat shows) - we have not learned, however, anything about the cognitive capacities or quick wittedness of the others. Good day :D
Sarcasm is pretty popular humour in the U.K. - a lot of other countries don’t get it, or don’t get it nearly half as often. I think this happens here a few times. It’s just so dry
People think he’s awkward, but the truth is he’s just really smart and doesn’t hold pretense which makes OTHER people uncomfortable and intimidated cause they aren’t used to operating at a higher level.
This is one of the best shows in terms of letting the guests be themselves. Never heard of the show before, but going to check out more of it now, the host seems a genuine and affable person and has a lot of general knowledge so he asks the right questions.
One of the best Ayoade interviews I've seen. He is very good here. The reactions of the other guests, more their naivety, just feeds him. He has amazing timing.
Is there anyone more interesting and humourous than Ayoade? Quirky - incisive - smart? When he hosted Buzzcocks he just blew it out of the water! And when you consider his movies and other interests - is there anyone better in his genre and generation? He is the mark of quality..
Always such a pleasure to find so many Ayoade fans online. I mention Richard Ayoade here in Oz and no one ever knows who I'm talking about (And I try to promote him as much as I can! 😁)
Excellent interview. Richard can be difficult to contain or manage in the interview format because his comedy is to steer things towards awkwardness and absurdity. I've watched interviews with him that go off the rails because the host isn't interested or able to play along.
This is the best chat show alongside Graham Norton, Skavlan my good Sir, your videos and interviews are always a pleasure to watch. Jimmy Fallon could learn so much from you, What a fantastic interviewer you are
@@pseudonymousbeing987, well, we'll leave the philosophical quandary for another time and just day say that no one here is that mentally challenged that they didn't know what I meant. Okay? Okay.
The combination of the show's format (giving guests plenty of room to speak) and Skavlan's engaging and conversational interviewing style helped make this 'Richard Ayoade at his best!'
@@JM-dp1nl this is so vague and ominous yet familiar that it makes me question if i've met that big nasty fellow in the past. i wonder why i constantly feel like im being watched
He dumbed himself down and dialled up the nerd for IT crowd, maybe an exaggerated self but definitely acting, you should check his other stuff, if you have not done so already.
Richard Ayoade has a great smile. I find it a bit sad that his "comedian persona" never smiles. :/ But those rare moments when even he cannot keep from grinning are priceless :D
Amazing interview, helped greatly by a very good interviewer. I like Richard Ayoade a lot, and by letting him talk and engaging with him like a person rather than an overzealous comedian, you've actually crafted the perfect space for an endearing and funny interview. Thank you!
It's amazing that he is ostensibly so opposed to interviews and yet he is literally the best interviewee there is - utterly unpredictable and consistently hilarious
My imaginary conversation with Richard Ayoade: Me, "How would you describe your personality in one word?" Richard, "Misanthrope." Me, "Would you like to know how I would describe mine?" Richard, "No."
First thing that popped into my head was isn't that the shirt and suit he had made in Hong Kong on Travel Man Christmas special with Jon Hamm? I believe it is.
I am very happy to discover this channel with such an improbable Aoyade-Johnson combo. Richard literally mops the floor with this smug buffoon, it's delectable. You are a great interviewer indeed 👏 Subscribed from Paris!
He really is fantastic. Haven’t seen a lot of him lately but remembered finding him absolutely hilarious and loving all this work including his directing. He has the perfect blend of wit, self-awareness, intelligence, charm and humility. I genuinely wish the best for him, he seems like a lovely person. Might try to purchase his book soon to show my support.
I got it as an audio book , read by the man himself, and it was well worth it. Not only is it absolutely hilarious and incredibly well written as one might expect, but we also get some insight into Richard's past which surprised me and was very interesting to listen to.
Hi Skavlan,what lovely guests you have.Richard is very well groomed and is charismatic.As you are Skavlon, always impeccably dressed.You are a wonderful interviewer,keep allowing your guests to speak.So amusing ,Richard was interesting. Thank you so very much. Stay safe.At this challenging time , I am saying prayers for everyone.Greetings from England.
Skavlan Thank you . It is awful for those who are ill and all people in front line. My prayers are for them. Lovely hearing from you. Wishing the very best for you and your family. Take care.
Tbf how can you follow Richard Ayoade? He's just on a different plane of existence. All you can do is sit back, try to follow along, and cry laughing 😂
Skavlan has a way of interviewing his guests naturally that seems so organic. I would say that he and Graham Norton are perhaps the best hosts that's out there. The talk shows are so formulaic and overly scripted here in the United States.
Even though I'm a guy, i find him utterly lovable; probably because I'm an introvert myself ;) Moreover, he comes across as a highly intelligent man, and if I could have a chat with him I'm sure it would feel like being in heaven :D
I love his face at 10:35. Aside from him being practically giddy at the absurdity of vaginas in the air being reassuring to people afraid of flying, he seems to be genuinely invested in the person he's talking to feeling what he's feeling. I've never seen an him so keen to make a connection before.
Thank you for your, as always, thoughtful and humorous interviews. Richard is a delight to listen to and I suspect Lise will remember their little chat about 'not attributing quotes', so innocent and yet so funny.
That was very good :) We love this guy in my household. We actually went to a book signing in Blackwell's in Oxford, wife and I both bought our own copy. As we queued we were encouraged to write a short message on a piece of paper that Richard would then write on the inside cover, sign and on request take a selfie with you. Well, we queued, and waited, for a reasonable amount of time. When we got to the front, Richard signed my wife's book and took the obligatory selfie, but, when he looked at my piece of paper, he looked at me and said he couldn't really testify to what I had written on the note could he. It said, 'Although I am a super stud, I did not enjoy having my afro stroked by Diaz'. This was a reference to Cameron Diaz, taking it upon herself to start stroking Richard's hair on a famous British talk show, which was no doubt demeaning but Richard showed nothing but good grace and poise about the whole situation. He all but acknowledged she had been out of order, but did not want to bare testament to that fact by scribbling about it and signing in his book. We took a selfie and I went home happy enough with his signature.... but no message :)
Can’t blame the man, that’s the kind of thing that could come back to haunt him someday, regardless of the fan’s intent. (No judgment against you whatsoever, I just know from experience that one must guard oneself very carefully against unwanted publicity.) I saw that episode of The Graham Norton Show. Cameron Diaz was appalling, and she also cut short his segment’s wrap-up (“::gasp!:: Red chair?”). Ayoade is a consummate professional, a breath of fresh air in today’s smog of tabloidtainment.
Thank you for this amazing interview. As others have said it was very down-to-earth and the lack of jests by the host to make the audience laugh made it feel much more real which can be a rarity nowadays. As Richard said himself this now has a seal of quality. ;) I'll be watching more. Hope this whole situation doesn't affect production too much and be sure to stay safe.
I have loved Richard for years. I still think he’d be a great Doctor Who if he was keen to do it. His sense of humor is very much in line with mine, which is rare. Thanks for this.
I've just discovered this show due to my Fandom of Richard. I must say I find it very pleasing and will be watching more. The ring of fire surrounding them is off putting when in the foreground, but the show as a whole is nice. Greetings from Canada.

Shiva this all just blew my mind.
Room at the Top, as though everything was a deliberate decision and not lazyness - describes BJ's premiership ......
I only just noticed that. God, I love him.
I doubt Stanley even noticed he so embraces the Johnson self-obsession
I saw Stanley in Leicester Square shouting to the crowd that he was sorry. Richard is on the ball with that comment.
"The appearance of Ayoade speaks of the quality of the show" says a lot about this show :)
Came to say the same!
I don't think anyone is actually afraid of flying. They are afraid of suddenly not flying.
This is rather out of left field, but your comment reminds me of Red Skelton in "Lucy Goes To Alaska," Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.
