both very funny men. very different. ricky needs to be funny. he yearns for it. larry is just an observant and brilliant comedian. both comedically gifted and deserved of praise. thanks for posting.
This must be one of his most relaxed and comfortable interviews, along with Christopher Guest. I must say that before watching this I knew very little about Larry David (I never watched Seinfeld) but he seems like such a nice bloke, and very funny.
This is like a filmed podcast that's moving around a bit. Really relaxed and nice viewing. Anyhing like it, so and so meets so and so, or something along those lines? Preferably comedians, but not necessarily.
What's so great about Curb is you see a predicament set up and it's so strange and painfully awkward that you're absolutely certain it was based on something that actually happened.
@killerwhale123 Ricky says at the beginning that Larry David is one of his heroes and during the interview he says things like "i've come from nowhere" etc. He's not insecure, he's just in awe of his hero and knows his place. Doesn't take away from either of thier comedy genius
I can’t find Larry on Howard Stern talking about his time in the Army Reserve, during Vietnam. Just totally nuts trying to get an emotional discharge. Someone with the authority, agreed he had no business in the military in any form. But heck, he made it through basic training, which is an accomplishment. Then a few weekends of drill.
"Upper-class" normally gets used to refer to posh rather than just wealthy I think. I never hear self-made millionaires called upper-class, it's usually said about people who've inherited money, gone to boarding school etc.
THIS IS GENIUS MATERIAL. RICKY GERVAIS AND LARRY DAVID COULD INTERVIEW EACH OTHER FOR 1 HR ON HBO FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ANY SHOW IN HISTORY!
The wikipedia page on it says: "The upper class is generally contained within the wealthiest 1-2% of the population, and is distinguished by immense wealth (in the form of estates) which is passed from generation to generation" So I'm not the only one who thinks that.
they connect on many levels but I feel like Ricky has researched and done his homework on Larry's career and really knows the show and Larry just vaguely knows about ricky.
6.35 - Larry mentions how he tried to get out of doing something on the day Ricky was interviewing him.What was Larry trying to get out off ? He was supposed to do this thing in New York. Larry tells them to call him next year just to get out of it. They call again the next year and he pretends to have a funeral. This interview was 2005.The outline Larry explained was a major storyline in Season 8 which was 2011. Kinda interesting.
He's not at all contradicting himself. A conversation is two ppl LISTENING to what the other is saying which they most certainly are here. That's the point.
I've got that exact same thing, with being unable to wait for something, just because it's something I have to do. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, all the same. Just can't be relaxed about it ^.^
@tjbayliss Your wish is granted. He is going to appear at some stage on the series that is currently airing. I just checked, he will appear in the episode on the 14th of this month as himself.
@twentyletternamesftw No he didn't blank him. Ricky was following on from what he was saying, an interviewer asking a question and then not listening to an answer
I will laugh when Ricky opens his mouth. That's all it takes. With Larry, he has to construct something to really make his comments funny. Both brilliant guys, but a different type of humor.
This was weird, at 6:03 - Ricky says quietly "So, where did you meet Jerry?" Don't think Larry heard him, and I can't figure out if Ricky was still stretching the previous moments of levity or if he genuinely wanted to know where he met Jerry.
I didn't know people hated Ricky Gervais so much until I saw all the youtube comments. People will seriously hate everyone these days, especially if they're successful.
I have the same problem with what he's saying lol, if someonething is on my horizon it will just ruin my next few weeks because it will always be there
yeah i found that strange as well. i always thought his background was reasonably middle/lower middle class. then i heard him on piers morgan saying he was working class, very poor and grew up on on a council estate which he compared to american projects (only really comparable if the estate was in a city which it isnt) bit confusing why he changes at will.
Ironic how BOTH men PREFER an interviewer who engages them in conversation, yet neither have been on Howard Stern, and that is EXACTLY how he interviews his guests.
both my favourite comedy writers...great show..thanks
I respect how honest Larry is in this interview, such a great guy.
He's a mensch
@@b0ssatr0n91
I love seeing LD genuinely amused
both very funny men. very different. ricky needs to be funny. he yearns for it. larry is just an observant and brilliant comedian. both comedically gifted and deserved of praise. thanks for posting.
Ricky is a really good interviewer!
They got their own philosophy. I think humor is like having a sweet philosophy and sharing it with people.
can you imagine these 2 co writing a sitcom unbelievable
🤣🤝🏾
"Mind if I start?" That was the best!
Best two dudes ever.
So true... A good interviewer will ask the second question, not just skip to the next question.
The scene with Larry and the other guy in the restaurant is funny & clever.
Their observations in people are very spot on. Maybe that's why they are great writers.
Larry's story at 6:30 about trying to duck out of an invite was exactly like the last episode of Curb. Too funny...
Letting the "bad thought" be spoken and play out. Pure genius.
I adore this, these 2 are the best
i want this to keep going on and on and on
humour is identification; I detect a lot of respect and goodwill between these folk because they are true to themselves(I think)
this is an incredible interview
Look at the rapport between these guys! It's golden! WHY HAVENT THEY DONE ANYTHING TOGETHER YET????
hey lighten up man . larry is a genius and so is ricky those two together are so funny. laughter is happyness & they bring plenty of it to us all
This must be one of his most relaxed and comfortable interviews, along with Christopher Guest.
I must say that before watching this I knew very little about Larry David (I never watched Seinfeld) but he seems like such a nice bloke, and very funny.

There's a series called "Ricky Gervais Meets..." that's a LOT like it.
Gervais knowing that he can make Larry laugh will make him sleep prettaay easily at night
Yeah, the Christopher Guest one is awesome!
both clever down to earth funny men = class
This is just amazing.
I honestly thought this was a sketch and was waiting for the punch line
I think Larry's head would explode from the pressure of playing someone that significant, or someone other than himself.
making larry david laugh, that would be one of the best feelings haha
What's so great about Curb is you see a predicament set up and it's so strange and painfully awkward that you're absolutely certain it was based on something that actually happened.
Yes it must be hard to write about events that have happened to you
two poets, dismantling themselves
"I put on my "funerial" voice"....SO good!
this is so much better than the gary Shandling fiasco interview. Wow that was a car wreck. i mean, really bad.
@killerwhale123 Ricky says at the beginning that Larry David is one of his heroes and during the interview he says things like "i've come from nowhere" etc. He's not insecure, he's just in awe of his hero and knows his place. Doesn't take away from either of thier comedy genius

But heck, he made it through basic training, which is an accomplishment. Then a few weekends of drill.
that lunch scene. painful is hell, yet hilarious!!!!!
Gervais' example of an interview reminds of of James Lipton (I was flipping through channels)
Rick is featuring in an episode of Curb for season 8!
Thought this was an episode of Curb for a second
I thought this was a Curb episode for about 3 minutes of the clip.
If you just listen to the audio without watching Larry's face, he sounds
EXACTLY like Seinfeld. I mean it's the GD same voice! THE SAME VOICE!
"OK. *Looks away.*"
oh god! larry has the best laugh! there's nothing better than the curb out takes or any other moment when he laughs!
@ 5:44
That sir, would truly be epic.
yeah they really mesh well
"Upper-class" normally gets used to refer to posh rather than just wealthy I think. I never hear self-made millionaires called upper-class, it's usually said about people who've inherited money, gone to boarding school etc.
I just realized that I argue with my wife exactly like Larry argues with everyone.
i love these guys , kinda showbiz punks :P
Haha, 3.48 dilemma... So funny!!
THIS IS GENIUS MATERIAL. RICKY GERVAIS AND LARRY DAVID COULD INTERVIEW EACH OTHER FOR 1 HR ON HBO FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ANY SHOW IN HISTORY!
If you really think about it, that's not true
Rick Gervais's point at 8:21 sounds like a description of Michael McIntyre
The wikipedia page on it says: "The upper class is generally contained within the wealthiest 1-2% of the population, and is distinguished by immense wealth (in the form of estates) which is passed from generation to generation"
So I'm not the only one who thinks that.
LD's laugh is fucking class
Thank you!
I was half way through when I realized this wasn't scripted lol
When I meet Larry, I'd tell him how good looking he is.
they connect on many levels but I feel like Ricky has researched and done his homework on Larry's career and really knows the show and Larry just vaguely knows about ricky.
They're basically 2 best friends of comedy. Genuis's. Geniuses? HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT I CBA GOOGLING.
The people have spoken.
LOL, you might be right !
6.35 - Larry mentions how he tried to get out of doing something on the day Ricky was interviewing him.What was Larry trying to get out off ? He was supposed to do this thing in New York.

7:03 surely they are going to hear that
Holy shit thats brilliant....
that man didnt merit a stop and chat" lmao LD and his own rules. he shits funny
'a whole lot' is three
in quotations!
I've got that exact same thing, with being unable to wait for something, just because it's something I have to do. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, all the same. Just can't be relaxed about it ^.^
I love both of them to a slightly ridiculous degree.
So sorry so so sorry- the bow.... ha. Juicing.
LD shits funny even when he sleeps
larry is so fucking funny. everything that comes out of his mouth
i laughed so fucking much, love larry david and love gervais, great "interview"! (don't know what else to call it)
I could just watch larry talking for hours.
I'm surprised they didn't show the clip from extras where andy has dinner with a complete stranger as well.
Ricky Gervais.
@tjbayliss Your wish is granted. He is going to appear at some stage on the series that is currently airing. I just checked, he will appear in the episode on the 14th of this month as himself.
at 4:40
the perfect line would be "it's not like sex"
@twentyletternamesftw No he didn't blank him. Ricky was following on from what he was saying, an interviewer asking a question and then not listening to an answer
I will laugh when Ricky opens his mouth. That's all it takes. With Larry, he has to construct something to really make his comments funny. Both brilliant guys, but a different type of humor.
"The next two months are now ruined for me... I wont have one day for the next two months"
lol this all sounds like episode 3 of extras
Why don't people expect you to finish your food at the same time if you're having lunch together?
0:38 .... you do Gervais... you are British!
@twentyletternamesftw he wasn't asking him as a serious question, he saying that how interviewers ask questions when they're with him
@ChameleonLost88 I totally agree. They are giving some pretty good tips. Prettyyy, prettyyy, pretty good!
For all you future interviewers out there. Larry and Ricky are giving some pretty good tips on how to be a good interviewer.
This was weird, at 6:03 - Ricky says quietly "So, where did you meet Jerry?" Don't think Larry heard him, and I can't figure out if Ricky was still stretching the previous moments of levity or if he genuinely wanted to know where he met Jerry.
Gregor Collins I think it was an example of a lame question from an interviewer
I didn't know people hated Ricky Gervais so much until I saw all the youtube comments. People will seriously hate everyone these days, especially if they're successful.
I'd say he thinks he is middle-class now, because of his lifestyle, but he was brought up in a working-class family
8:40 what a hilarious shot. Look how huge Ricky looks and how small Larry looks!
I have the same problem with what he's saying lol, if someonething is on my horizon it will just ruin my next few weeks because it will always be there
yeah i found that strange as well. i always thought his background was reasonably middle/lower middle class. then i heard him on piers morgan saying he was working class, very poor and grew up on on a council estate which he compared to american projects (only really comparable if the estate was in a city which it isnt) bit confusing why he changes at will.
Larry David would play George Washington perfectly.. It must be done.
@evh5150316
its confirmed that Ricky will be more than one episode as himself in the upcoming season
Ironic how BOTH men PREFER an interviewer who engages them in conversation, yet neither have been on Howard Stern, and that is EXACTLY how he interviews his guests.
So where did you meet Jerry lol.
we need karl pilkington, larry and gervais doing something
Watch Curb your Enthusiasm. It's sooo funnyyy
i´m with ricky on the "we both bump into each other and i´m the only one who apologizes", god, i get so annoyed at rude people!
I would never ask to have lunch with Larry. I don't want to put him through that.
