      If you do a 'The Trip: USA' then you should bring Harry Shearer along for a meal. 3 impressionists in an L.A. diner.

    Rob, thanks for sharing the heartbreaking sentiment about Don Rickles’s humor being so sadly misinterpreted. You’ve stated so well what many have felt for years. Thanks!

    I love a lot of Rob Brydon's work. I think he can be better in this interview series by toning down his reaction shots. They are clearly not in real time and he is looking a little too engaged and sparkly for the camera. Rob please back it off a titch and let us love you in a more realistic interview situation. You are great at that.

    • @donaloflynn
      @donaloflynn Рік тому +2

      I very much doubt they're recorded after the fact, Rob is just a naturally physically expressive person who hams it up when he's excited and engaged. Just look at his setup. He's there on his own, with just a single producer working remotely. There's no way he's recording extra takes while listening to the playback. This is very different to the studio environment for a TV panel show with producers calling for extra takes.
