I love Louis became he doesn't judge people, that's what makes him so great when he does his documentarys, he's not here to tell them that they're doing things wrong he just trying to understand them.
He looks at things objectively, allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusions with all the facts at hand. Too many journalists these days go in with a bias mindset, and twist things to push their opinions on the viewer, and it's a disgrace to journalism. Even when Louis interviews people clearly in the wrong, who do things he clearly finds distasteful, he allows them to give their side, and asks unbiased questions. That's why he's so good. It's far more interesting to see into the minds of these people, see how they think, and why they do the things they do. It's a perspective that you can't get when you're pushing your views to the forefront.
My love of nature and human behaviour is why i am drawn to both of them. The way Loui curiously explores peoples alternative beliefs and how he constructs the interactions for us viewers is fascinating..
He’s essentially become what Bob Holness was to university students in the 90’s. Except Bob Holness never had a rap that went “my money don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds”
There was in one documentary when he went and stayed at brothels in the US and the a few of the women there who had experienced really abusive relationships really fell for Louis and I'll never forget how one of them said how lucky the woman was who was with Louis,it was kind of sad to think that she did not think she could get a man as kind and sweet hearted as Louis was.I think they felt very attached to him
I watched that for a 2nd time the other day. One girl was rude to him at first because she was so cynical and didn't trust the persona he showed was real, then she realised he was actually real and sought him out and was very real with him. I'm glad she got to meet him so she knew there were good guys who wouldn't pay for sex or shoot her in the head.
i love his comedy because he can be serious but yet funny, which means alot in the world of today because he can get important things into the young minds of today.
@CrisisofConsciousness You were asking for examples but the guy doesn't need to give examples. He said he CAN GET IMPORTANT THINGS which covers pretty much all of that anyways.
@Hairy Chinese Kid considering how he has slammed BBC news on how they gave information before etc I would say you should rewatch. He has a team that uses the news as a tool but not as the deciding factor for information.
Louis has an incredible sense of empathy for everyone he meets regardless of who they are. Being able to put himself in their shoes and mirror their emotions.
Two exceptional interviewers facing off against each other. But Louis's timid nonconfrontational style allows him to ask such confrontational questions but that no longer seem this way. He gets answers no other person would get. It's exceptional.
I much prefer British interview shows. The interviewers allow the conversations to go where they want to, they allow the guests to speak without infuriating. I would recommend Grahm Norton as well, it’s more light hearted as well. These comedians do a great job interviewing without having to get kitschy. The only comparable US show I can think of is Hot Ones.
@@munaosman7563 a) No need to call anybody "bitch". b) You don't seem to grasp the concept of "having a crush". It doesn't matter if the subject is married or not.
Lots of people say I look like exactly Louis 😉 Well at least that's what they said before the terrible fire . Arghhhhhhhh I'm hideous, dont look at meeeeee !!!!
Truly a great man. He has the ability to remain objective, something so rare these days. If there where more journalists like him, rather than people feeding us news and information twisted to suit their own agenda, the world would be a better place. He allows these people to give their own story and thoughts, even the ones who are just terrible people, allowing us to get an idea why they do the things they do.
By the end of the video, the way that Louis expresses that he, as a journalist, has a duty of care to provide HIS account of the events he's experienced, is nothing short of admirable.
I would love a podcast type show with russell just talking about all the different topics with guests every week. So easy to listen to and can take a fun or serious turn.
Asking whether open relationships can work is like asking if traditional relationships can work. Many traditional relationships end. So you try again. Relationships can be pure hell. Communication is key. Who cares about societal norms or pressures? Do whatever feels right for you and whomever you may be involved with. So long as it's all consenting adults, it's all good.
I actually think about Louis's smarmy expressions everytime I fuck up in my life. I just picture him there with me like "is this really what you should have done?", knowing full well that it was a disaster and there's a whole pot of spaghetti on the floor or whatever else
Oh my god, I know you won't see this but as someone who wasn't the biggest fan of your stand up your questions for Louis were PERFECT! You asked all the questions I would want to and you stayed out of his answers. Fantastic job!

he certainly is legendary, probably THE best documentarist of our country.. (i'd put ross kemp up there too as far as journalism into dangerous things goes)
One of the best in the world I'd argue. He's got the rare ability to put his personal views aside and take an objective approach, allowing the viewers to make their own decisions, and giving us a view into why these people thing think, and do the things the way they do. Something that's so rare in journalism, where most just use it to push their own views and twist what others say.
yes you are certainly right, I think that's why I've always loved him. I remember him saying that in an interview at some point, that he goes in from an objective point of view to let the viewer make up their own mind. and you are right it is so rare nowadays with all corporations trying to shove their own agenda @@MrEsphoenix
He just goes into every interview with an open mind his technique is remarkable even when you think he's on the verge of getting his head kicked in he seems to deflect it so calmly.
If you were gay, That'd be okay, I mean 'cause hey, We like you anyway, And I'm sure that you, would accept me too, If I told you, today, "Hey, guess what, I'm gay" .... but I'm not gay.
having only seen Russel be goofy on 8 out of ten cats, till now, i am so impressed with his questions....there is not an American t.v. interviewer that would ask such intellectually penetrating questions, not on late night, not ellen,. not oprah...well done..
No joke Louis Theroux was my sexual awakening as a teen not so long ago. His mind is just ugh so sexy. Sadly I haven't met many guys who are in his league, here's to hoping that'll change!
As a poply person, the poly documentary and this interview is the first and only time i have found Louis really tedious. I think typically he avoids scandalous closed minded assumptions- but this is feels so narrow till. The idea that the 'women' must be friends to make the situation work. Polyamory is a huge worldwide relationship style with literally millions of people living under this umbrella. I know that he only had a small data group to learn from- but my main information I always want people to know- is that poly relationships are fundamentally exactly the same as monogamous. They are practiced differently and face different challenges and success by every individual in them.
I've seen Louis in my local neighborhood a few times - he lives around here. One day, I was at a road crossing and saw him on the other side. I was in a damn silly mood that day indeed, and, as I crossed the road, I shouted out to him, loudly - "YO, LOUIS !!!!". He saw me, and nodded. It was the cutest thing ever. That's how you want your famous interviewers to behave. Beautiful man.

Louis Theroux is like David Attenborough but for observing humans
Such an accurate comment

That comparison seems hilariously adequate.
Ridiculously accurate
How very observant of you, indeed I think you are quite right.

He would be an amazing audio book narrator
I don't think there are enough lows in his voice... But #DassJustMeDoe
He narrated his own book, and he's got a new one coming out which he's also recording an audiobook for.
I've never heard of or watched Russell but his interviewing style is incredible. Our American talk show hosts could definitely learn a thing or two
