Can't believe this is on UA-cam! Thanks so much for uploading it. I'm that guy who asks the first question: 'What's in the draw at the Travel Tavern?'. A VERY long time ago. It's weird looking at your younger self! 1998? Feels like a lifetime ago.
He's deserving of it but it's likely he's been promoted where others have been relegated. Cleese for example was a national treasure who mistakenly spoke his mind on being in favour of Brexit and it all came crashing down!
My wife 'endures' my love of Alan Partridge. I was watching an episode with my kids and they asked 'whats in the drawer!!??' i was about to say 'we never find out' and she walked past with an armful of washing and casually replied: "obviously the little leather pants he parades around in during the dream sequence' I married her again RIGHT on the spot.
One of the most talented comedians, also because very versatile. Deserves to be famous around the world as well, but for that he would have to be American.
0:10 - "oh no - you're the fourth BeeGee!" - I get that reference! In an earlier show Clive Anderson interviewed the BeeGees and made reference to their previous band name "Les Tossers". They decided to walk out of the interview. Sadly both interviews have since been removed from UA-cam - it was at time stamp 5:55 watch?v=2Uf8PYl1V44. My previous post was removed so I can;t provide an alternative link...
LOL! I meant rare for COOGAN - he doesn't do many interviews. You can see here that he'd rather be somewhere else. Thus while millions saw this interview - BILLIONS DIDN'T. Therefore, for those billions, here is one of Steve Coogan's RARE interviews...
Never been able to say whether I like him or not. I think it's Alan Partridge I'm fed up of. However this interview was excellent. Really enjoyed it - clever, funny and endearing x
Just got the 'I, Partridge' audiobook. Seriously 'laugh-out-loud-on-a-rough-urban-bus-first-thing-in-the-morning-so-the-freaks-all-stare-at-you-and-you-still-can't-help-grinning-at-them' FUNNY!!
It wasn't that he was that unpopular. Ferrino WAS very popular but Coogan was still working on Partridge at that time in the late 90's and because of it's success just continued with that which also included a heavy UK tour.
@johntkooz My first encounter with Steve Coogan was tuning in to one of his Alan Partridge interviews (in progress - no audience) on RADIO (where the character began) and it took me about THREE MINUTES to realize it was BOGUS!!
I liked it. Coogan had obviously done a LOT of work on it - songs and all. But perhaps the character, being Portuguese, was not as accessible to the British as Paul and Pauline Calf, Alan Partridge, et al. And his new creation being less than massively successful (although it was hardly a DISASTER) the tabloid press (who never liked Coogan anyway) LEAPT on it - ensuring its demise...
@cheekymancunian There's a great clip on YT (not one of mine) where Steve and Rob Brydon have a "Caine-off" - it's hilarious! Comments don't URL, but if you YT search: Steve Coogan Rob Brydon Michael Caine - you'll find it! It's cut from a BBC 2 prog called "The Trip" - enjoy!
We did the ask someone to ask someone (who was in on it) 'er, how's your dad's piano lessons coming along ' 'you bastard you know my dad's got no hands' prank at school on younger pupils and even teachers. About 1984.
Impressions, although it might be a correct word, I wish Clive would describe Steve Coogan as an impersonator and not an impressionist . If he did a "sketch" circa 1875, as and artist, he could say I am impersonating an impressionist.
It’s quite surreal to see his comic genius scythe through the 90s mediocrity of Clive Anderson amidst the horrendous canned laughter. It’s odd too to see Anderson’s lame attempts at finding an angle on Coogan’s ‘rude’ show as if trying to rile him somehow by not so subtly accusing him of sharing the same characteristics of his fictitious creations and then immediately attempting to put words in his mouth by suggesting that Coogan thinks that his audience is somehow stupid. You get the sense that Clive Anderson knew he was flailing and didn’t have the necessary clout/gravitas to be in front of the camera in this format. Coogan is, as ever, flawless in his delivery and deftly sideswipes these attacks.
Had the same kind of thing when I worked in factory after leaving school at 16. Guy told me ASK THAT BLOKE IF HIS DAD STILL PLAYS FOR MAN UNITED. I asked WHO IS HIS DAD. He replies I CANT REMEMBER BUT REALLY GOOD PLAYER. So I ask EXCUSE ME, DOES YOUR DAD STILL PLAY FOR MAN UNITED and the blokes face turns thunderous and he says YOU KNOW MY DAD AINT GOT NO FUCKING LEGS YOU BASTARD. I felt awful til the rotten gits all laughed at me
'Speed stoppers with Alan partridge'......Alan and celebrity guests including piers Morgan and Ian Huntley stake out accident black spots with hand held laser speed cameras in a competition to clock dangerous speeding vehicles.
Go back, and find at least five more interviews of Steve, when he is just Steve, not Alan Patridge in an interview, especially in the 1990s. If you find 5 more, then you can speak, until then, shut up.
I've read rumours that Coogan is a narcissist, but narcissists are supposed to be unable to "get" comedy. Would a true narcissist be able to grasp what causes people to laugh?
No it's a false flag. I started those rumours but I mean to type Steve Saunders. A mechanic my dad used to work with. Started out with a long thin face, like a dark-haired horse with sideburns but then when I saw him years later it had gone all round like a tyre due to massive weight gain. (or exposure to radiation) I stated the rumour as I felt he'd sold out and bought the American fast food dream. So just to clarify, it's Saunders, not Keegan.
How is this a rare interview? He was being interviewed by a famous Clive Anderson and it was aired on public television. And if Steve is ever promoting something, then it is common to see him on the tele in the uk.
DrJehstr In terms of NUMBERS of interviews Steve did IN THOSE DAYS, it was a rare interview. Steve has mellowed since the time I uploaded this (about five years ago) and is now more often seen.
Rare in the sense that it's hard to find. You can't buy it, and only those who happened to video this 20 years ago and still have it would be able to see it.
I LOVE Steve Coogan. Brilliant comedic mind and always puts me in a good mood when I'm not inclined to be in one.
Doctor of laughter
Immensely talented,
Hi impersonations are just spot on, brilliant.
Can't believe this is on UA-cam! Thanks so much for uploading it. I'm that guy who asks the first question: 'What's in the draw at the Travel Tavern?'. A VERY long time ago. It's weird looking at your younger self! 1998? Feels like a lifetime ago.
It’s even longer ago now 11 years later
Even longer now. Nearly 11 and a half years later!
His Alan Partridge impression is spot on
This is the 12th rare interview I have seen
Coogan is on a different planet talent wise to nearly any of his peers
so he thinks
Brydon is better I think. He's funnier too.
@@jodomo4279 you cant compare what Brydon has done compared to Coogan. Brydon is a very good light entertainer but thats all.
Yup. Coogan and dont forget Morris - both comedic geniuses
@@49dwalin55 Chris Morris is amazing. The Day today 👍
Steve Coogan is just soooo funny. And has been for such a long time. One of the best.
Thanks for this, great interview with a master of comedy by a quality host.
Fantastic. The 70s foreign-film impression I had never seen before.
+geekpie100 I've tried it - it's a HELL of a lot harder than it looks!
+geekpie100 Brilliant, just brilliant.
Billy Crystal did the exact same routine 20 years earlier.
It's genius
@@RogerOThornhill really? Billy Crystal is a funny bastard too lol
Steve is a legend ..very under rated as a comic , totally original and pure comedy gold
'National treasure' is a terms bandied about all too frequently these days ... but Steve Coogan is definitely one of that very small band.
He's deserving of it but it's likely he's been promoted where others have been relegated. Cleese for example was a national treasure who mistakenly spoke his mind on being in favour of Brexit and it all came crashing down!
Cleese has since eaten his words on Brexit, then ruined it all over again by moving to the Caribbean / sticking two fingers up ol' Blighty.
Alan partridge could have written this comment
That and Karl Pilkington
Brilliant. I was also fooled into thinking there was a problem with the audio sync when I first watched the voice over dub bit!
My wife 'endures' my love of Alan Partridge.
I was watching an episode with my kids and they asked 'whats in the drawer!!??'
i was about to say 'we never find out'
and she walked past with an armful of washing and casually replied:
"obviously the little leather pants he parades around in during the dream sequence'
I married her again RIGHT on the spot.
He’s a rock n roll comedian. Legend
He’s a very clever man
But I don’t trust him!
@jos9116 he's not selling you car, he's making you laugh...if you like laughing
This is the fantasic steve coogan
this is a great interview. Steve was on top form.
One of the most talented comedians, also because very versatile. Deserves to be famous around the world as well, but for that he would have to be American.
This is an excellent interview
0:10 - "oh no - you're the fourth BeeGee!" - I get that reference! In an earlier show Clive Anderson interviewed the BeeGees and made reference to their previous band name "Les Tossers". They decided to walk out of the interview. Sadly both interviews have since been removed from UA-cam - it was at time stamp 5:55 watch?v=2Uf8PYl1V44.

fucking brilliant. you gotta love the coog.
LOL! I meant rare for COOGAN - he doesn't do many interviews. You can see here that he'd rather be somewhere else. Thus while millions saw this interview - BILLIONS DIDN'T. Therefore, for those billions, here is one of Steve Coogan's RARE interviews...
He's a comedy genius and a master entertainer.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like Alan Patridge.
LEGEND!
His Michael Caine is staggering.
It's perfect
great fun, many thanks.
STEVE COOGAN'S VOICE REALLY GOT DEEPER OVER THE YEARS!!!!!
That's deliberate though, Coogan's a rare comic who's aware of how people feel about him and he plays on it.
Love Steve!
I’ve always said that I thought that Steve Coogan was a comedy genius.
I've met a few like Paul Calf, and I was probably one of them.
Steve Coogan really knows how to nail a character.
I put him up there with Al Murray.
Never been able to say whether I like him or not. I think it's Alan Partridge I'm fed up of. However this interview was excellent. Really enjoyed it - clever, funny and endearing x
Jacqui Cryer Mushroom fryer He's come up with a number of strong characters - but the PUBLIC always decide what they want you to do. THEIR fault!
Just got the 'I, Partridge' audiobook. Seriously 'laugh-out-loud-on-a-rough-urban-bus-first-thing-in-the-morning-so-the-freaks-all-stare-at-you-and-you-still-can't-help-grinning-at-them' FUNNY!!
BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS NOW!!
Coogan has been very funny for 30 years.
Best bit was the alan partridge at the very end
cheers for the upload m8
Wonderful stuff!
He really is a national treasure....Steve Coogan too
Totally outclassed Clive Anderson.
Yep, same when Anderson interviewed Partridge
Anderson has no class so not difficult.
RARE! IT'S ON ON UA-cam.
It wasn't that he was that unpopular. Ferrino WAS very popular but Coogan was still working on Partridge at that time in the late 90's and because of it's success just continued with that which also included a heavy UK tour.
He is ridiculously funny.
what a talent
Oc course Clive Anderson did do an interview with Alan Partridge a year later.
@johntkooz My first encounter with Steve Coogan was tuning in to one of his Alan Partridge interviews (in progress - no audience) on RADIO (where the character began) and it took me about THREE MINUTES to realize it was BOGUS!!
He does a great alan partridge impression
@DustyBinBoy This is the reason I "service" my channel! Great story.
Masterclass
He is THE BEST.
hardly a RARE interview. this was on clive andersons talk show
Genius comedian who has inspired.. little Britten, James cordon .. the list goes on..
James Corden isn't fit to shine Steve's shoes
... this video's so RARE it's on youtube ...
? What's rare is that Steve Coogan is doing an interview as himself.
I liked it. Coogan had obviously done a LOT of work on it - songs and all. But perhaps the character, being Portuguese, was not as accessible to the British as Paul and Pauline Calf, Alan Partridge, et al.
And his new creation being less than massively successful (although it was hardly a DISASTER) the tabloid press (who never liked Coogan anyway) LEAPT on it - ensuring its demise...
Lol brilliant interview
Coogan is the man.
@cheekymancunian There's a great clip on YT (not one of mine) where Steve and Rob Brydon have a "Caine-off" - it's hilarious! Comments don't URL, but if you YT search: Steve Coogan Rob Brydon Michael Caine - you'll find it! It's cut from a BBC 2 prog called "The Trip" - enjoy!
Owned him at the end.
Was this shot after Clive offended the Bee Gees?
The Concise Statement the reference to Coogan being the fourth BeeGee wouldn't have made much sense if that incident hadn't already happened lol
The Concise Statement
No before .
What made you think that 🤔
13 years later and the hate has only grown
The audience are having a good time, aren't they?
Rare interview? He does loads of them, lol.
Not in the 1990s. Steve chose to not be interviewed as himself on chat shows during the 1990s.
We did the ask someone to ask someone (who was in on it) 'er, how's your dad's piano lessons coming along ' 'you bastard you know my dad's got no hands' prank at school on younger pupils and even teachers. About 1984.
Did you use to 'get' the teacher after school?
Why do folks feel compelled to label something as Rare ? When it obviously isn't ?
Bombed is harsh. Live on stage he worked really well.
Impressions, although it might be a correct word, I wish Clive would describe Steve Coogan as an impersonator and not an impressionist .
If he did a "sketch" circa 1875, as and artist, he could say I am impersonating an impressionist.
An impressionist is a painter
Clive Anderson is the man.
Coogan looks like phil daniels here
The lighting is the same as the lighting for Anglian Lives.
It’s quite surreal to see his comic genius scythe through the 90s mediocrity of Clive Anderson amidst the horrendous canned laughter.

Coogan is, as ever, flawless in his delivery and deftly sideswipes these attacks.
Canned laughter?
How RARE can this interview be? It’s on UA-cam isn’t it.
STEVE COOGAN IS ALMOST 52 NOW!! BUT HE WAS 32 IN THIS VIDEO!!
That's amazing. So he's 20 years older now? Unbelievable really when you think about it.
Aren't we all?
Looks like the KMKY set.
I literally had the same experience reading the guardian at my first job surrounded by sun readers
Wow what an insufferable snob
Paul Sykes II me or Coogan
@@shawdavid both. You do realise you sound like a smug sanctimonious prick right?
I thought his Neil Kinnock is his best. Makes him funny as well as real. Just tapped in to what it was that the public didn't want or trust.
the irony from back then to now - "i hate tabloid journalists" lol love the man!!!
Had the same kind of thing when I worked in factory after leaving school at 16. Guy told me ASK THAT BLOKE IF HIS DAD STILL PLAYS FOR MAN UNITED. I asked WHO IS HIS DAD. He replies I CANT REMEMBER BUT REALLY GOOD PLAYER. So I ask EXCUSE ME, DOES YOUR DAD STILL PLAY FOR MAN UNITED and the blokes face turns thunderous and he says YOU KNOW MY DAD AINT GOT NO FUCKING LEGS YOU BASTARD.

@steveparadox1 Even UA-cam's sync isn't THAT bad!
Funny bloke.
Rare?
20 foot tall chickens
I did some of these bits on parky.
Did you?
He has hated tabloid journalists for a long time ....
'Speed stoppers with Alan partridge'......Alan and celebrity guests including piers Morgan and Ian Huntley stake out accident black spots with hand held laser speed cameras in a competition to clock dangerous speeding vehicles.
Steve coolant rocks
HTF does this qualify as a "rare interview?"
Go back, and find at least five more interviews of Steve, when he is just Steve, not Alan Patridge in an interview, especially in the 1990s. If you find 5 more, then you can speak, until then, shut up.
I always though Clive Anderson would have made a great host on HIGNFY replacing Angus Deayton
genius !!!
He gave the same interview on parky. Bloody hell what a let down.
I think I just fell in love.
Very funny but looking back on old.interviews and new.cljps and you can see he uses the same jokes and impressions.
This interview is so 'RARE' that it was broadcast to millions of viewers from a studio full of people. Wow.
How can someone be "militant" left? Does that entail being progressive whilst holding weapons? Please define your criterion.
I've read rumours that Coogan is a narcissist, but narcissists are supposed to be unable to "get" comedy. Would a true narcissist be able to grasp what causes people to laugh?
No it's a false flag. I started those rumours but I mean to type Steve Saunders. A mechanic my dad used to work with.

So just to clarify, it's Saunders, not Keegan.
Whilst watching this clip I've realised that my breath smells of semen but all I've eaten are five mince pies!
unfair the beegees were right to lease the set
This guy would have been mr bean if Atkinson wasn’t

like good comedians hes a lier my dad pull the sweater joke in the 50s but credit to him a new generation havnt heard it so its funny to them
wait, how does that make him a liar? he said it was a joke.
