I played football with Steve’s brother Joe, every Tuesday for years. Joe said “Steve’s not even the funniest one in our house!” Brilliant interview and such a talented and very funny man
He’s ok, but very hit and miss as an actual communicator. A perfect example of this is the one minute segment starting at 01:35. He’s unable to actually formulate a coherent question despite having a few goes at it and I’m not sure that Coogan actually knew what it was that he wanted to say either!
Just been scrambling around looking for tour tickets before realising this was filmed in 2023. Legend man, I love this guy so much. So much of his back story is so relatable for me, and his work is a core pillar of my sense of humour as an adult. He's a hero I'm not afraid to have, unlike some sportspeople or musicians for eg.
At the top of his game for 30+ years. Tiernan is right, a full on comedy genius....there's no other word for it. My favourite stuff is his Partridge audiobooks, all done in character....it's the motherlode of Partridge greatness. On a side note what a great concept for a chat show...no prepared questions. Really seems to create a more natural conversation.
I used to live next door to Steve in Maidenhead. Very lovely, funny guy. Spent a lot of time in his company. Great believer in moleskin trousers and I’ve come to love them too. Really comfortable and, what’s more, they have anti-viral properties. Kept me safe through Covid. Thank you, Steve.
When I saw the ads for the first season of Partridge, I didn’t recognize Steve and I thought it was a real show so I didn’t watch it. Fortunately I realized eventually and I caught up
Thoughts while watching: Tommy, darling, I love you, but those chairs just aren't good. Look at the position they force you both into. It was lovely to see Steve laugh so much, when he mentioned about walking the Appalachian trail. Brother Sun, Sister Moon is my favourite film, but no-one I've spoken with about it has ever even heard of it. Best wishes, Adam
Two men veiled in shades of brown and making temperate fizzing sounds at each other: this is the epitome of entertainment to make cheese toasts to! Absolutely love it!
Even though I've enjoyed Steve in most Partridge stuff his energy in this interview gives me the distinct impression that he's done unspeakable things to vulnerable people in faraway places.
I think Tommy may be a big fan of the man himself like the rest of us 😅 Great to see two legends enjoying each others company. Only thing that's missing is an audience
It all feels very itchy! Coogan’s body language is all over the place. Great insight into the comedian but I’d love to have heard them both talking for another hour!
Tommy! You ‘dropped the ball’ with Roy Keane mate! You could have grilled him a bit more. As for Coogan, I think the best thing he’s done is the Roman general in the original Night at the museum film. 😂👍🇳🇴
It was nice listening to Steve just chat casually about his life and later in the interview looking more relaxed about it. His comment regarding the intellectual side of things was interesting because it all felt a bit superior when I've heard him talking about the deeper side of things. So it's great so see this side to Steve, as I'm a big admirer of many of the things he's done. The happiness side of things and when he talked about his school mate was also interesting. Matthew Perry said 'When I had everything materially I could ever want, I thought it would change everything and the way I felt, but it didn't'...Happiness is certainly a state of mind and not so much wealth that makes you feel contented. My Grandad had very little but his daughter (My Dad's sister) said he was such a contented man with his lot.
Tommy just pulls the Jasus humanity out of the guests doesn't he in the best possible way it's so refreshing I love the man not in a gay way but in a gowan tommy ask him something else ❤he's an institution is our tommy went ta see him in kerry nd his first line was welcome to the inec in killarney an absolute shithole of a town even the gypsys are moving out ..😮😂😂😂 everyone erupted in laughter ❤😂😂😂
He is fully Irish as in ethnicity his mother is from Ireland and his father was born in Manchester but to irish parents even though being born somewhere means nothing but he was raised in England.. he spent all of his summers growing up in the west of Ireland It’s okay
@@MarieHarvey-q8s is everyone forgetting that Steve Coogan is in fact fully irish he was raised in the UK has English nationality and Irish nationality but spent all of his summers in mayo
I've never met Steve Coogan... (I know people who have...) EVERY SINGLE ONE says he is THE EPITOME of Gentlemanly Kindness... AS a COMIC ACTOR/PERSONA he's quite genius... BUT AS A STRAIGHT ACTOR he's AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER!!!! My Friend, the Redcar Actor/Comedian Chris McGlade met him at the Premier of the Ken Loach film 'The Old Oak'... (Chris is in it and plays a Racist BADDIE!!!! Very much against type if you know Chris....) Chrissie said that Steve Coogan ACTUALLY sought him out to talk about how he inhabited such a 'difficult' character to play? (Coogan didn't have to do that, but he did....) To CHRIS, that meant THE WORLD to him!!!! ("STEVE FUCKING COOGAN wants to talk TO ME about ACTING????") Saying all that, his brother, (Steve's) was in The Mock Turtles... TOP THAT you Manc Fuck!!! *LAUGHING!!!* xx SF
Not sure what he's talking about not sharing stuff about himself. I've seen him with that moon-faced Alistair sitting in anger management. Top guy, never worked with Led Zep though.
I genuinely love Alan Partridge as a character but remember watching Steve Coogan do a gig in Liverpool about 15 or so years back and it was seriously awful!!... I felt ripped off...there was zero prep and he basically took the p*ss... I also remember him saying beforehand that he wanted to do Liverpool as scousers were salt of the earth folk and would give an honest and fair account... after the gig he said there was an anti-Manchester bias against him... Not expecting him to return but sure he would be welcomed back by us lovely warm salt of the air types
Who "sounds" like the big Yin? Tommy??? Billy Connelly is Scottish and Tommy Tiernan is Irish and neither "sound" like each other. Both excellent comedians in their own rights; Billy being a Scotsman's Scotsman...and Tommy being an Irishman's Irishman.
Great interview yet again. Steve is very like Rowan Atkinson, not only in his career but with his temperament too. A very private, serious person with a genuine gift for making people laugh. You can also see parallels between him and Tony Hancock who I believe inspired both of them in one way or another.
Lovely interview, Steve is an all time great. Just a shame the Partridge tour he was promoting here, Stratagem, was so utterly atrocious. Phoned in, and most unlike him. A rare faux pas, I love the guy
How am I only finding out about Tommy's show just now? This is one of the best interviews I've seen with Coogan. I went to see Partridge in Belfast he was bloody brilliant.
@@autoclearanceuk7191 "Have you seen the funniest Oliver and Hardy movies ? " Assuming you're talking about 'Laurel and Hardy' movies, yes I've seen a vast amount of them and they are indeed very funny.
Nice interview!! But my goodness! Steve is so twitchy and Tweeking and obviously .. on.. something! Kinda sad! He doesn’t need any substances for this simple interview! Soz!
I played football with Steve’s brother Joe, every Tuesday for years. Joe said “Steve’s not even the funniest one in our house!” Brilliant interview and such a talented and very funny man
I think i remember Steve himself saying that in his book.
@@stevehunt914 It's true, when he's being himself he's not a funny person
Tommy is a great interviewer, I can't imagine it's easy to get Steve to relax and talk. Fantastic!
I think it's also the lack of a live audience, they can have a quiet conversation
he looked pretty shite to me each kissing others arse
He’s ok, but very hit and miss as an actual communicator. A perfect example of this is the one minute segment starting at 01:35. He’s unable to actually formulate a coherent question despite having a few goes at it and I’m not sure that Coogan actually knew what it was that he wanted to say either!
The audience are dead
Coogan in Alan Partridge Mid Morning Matters is up there with the greatest comedy performance of all time. Almost perfection.
It was The Best Thing Ever.
The movie of that with Colm Meaney is unreal !
series 1 definitely... series 2 was a huge drop off (imo)
I agree - can’t understand people who don’t like Partridge in MMM. My brother said he hates it. I said - ARE YOU ON A E!
Best thing since sliced bread
I love the way Steve got uncomfortable about being asked about feelings etc and threw the question back on Tommy! Two brilliant men, great chat!
Holy Jahsus, how many shades of brown are there
I wonder what makes an actor wearing a tweed suit feel that people are divisive about him 😂
There seems to be a real respect between them. Lovely to see 😊
Just what I though
Probably the comedian who’s given me the most laughs ever
Just been scrambling around looking for tour tickets before realising this was filmed in 2023.
Legend man, I love this guy so much. So much of his back story is so relatable for me, and his work is a core pillar of my sense of humour as an adult. He's a hero I'm not afraid to have, unlike some sportspeople or musicians for eg.
Was just about to do the same!
To be fair his last tour was awful
@@mastersham To be fairer than that... no it wasn't.

Great conversation, very real and natural. Love it 😀
I always rated Coogan. He's the best English comedian in terms of understanding Ireland.
I showed my Irish relatives his Martin Brennan character recently...they were loving it.
His mother's Irish and all his grandparents.
@@FiveSigma72 He did mention that the clothes had to be spot on for Martin Brennan, and they were. A particular type of sweater and blazer combo etc.
He’s not English. He’s more Irish than the Irish themselves like half of Manchester and Liverpool.
There's more to Ireland than this
I'm itching just looking at that tweed suit.
Great interview. Love these guys.
As Steve casually does the two personas of Stan Laurel .. you realise just how brilliant he is.
The clips of Alan Partridge interviewing his doppelganger Martin Brennan in the Dublin Liveshow are incredibly funny. Well worth tracking down of YT👍
I used to live next door to Steve in Maidenhead. Very lovely, funny guy. Spent a lot of time in his company. Great believer in moleskin trousers and I’ve come to love them too. Really comfortable and, what’s more, they have anti-viral properties. Kept me safe through Covid. Thank you, Steve.
The atmosphere and questions/ prompts made this a very interesting and cool interview. Nicely done Tommy!
It’s like two lads in a pub having a chat brilliant
but without the humour ,it would have been welcome
It’s not
You ever been to a pub? It's like a bbc employees idea of a pub chat
No it’s not
Waiting for him to start singing the Wolfetones... 😊
When I saw the ads for the first season of Partridge, I didn’t recognize Steve and I thought it was a real show so I didn’t watch it. Fortunately I realized eventually and I caught up
Hope Steve gives Tommy a cameo next time
A genius indeed. Don't miss Steve as Jimmy Saville. He was amazing.
Yep, great movie, but very very dark (obviously). Stan and Ollie is very heart-warming.
What a great interview of two greats of the industry 👍
You don't get out a lot do you 😂
Two legends.
You always get the best out of guests. Great chat
Thoughts while watching:

Strange comment
@@tourzrap Not what you're used to?
Great listen...cheers
They could be brothers!
Philomena was phenomenal
Phenomenilomena.
(I love words.)
@CS-mo7xp Hahah I love it!
Is Judy Dench dead yet?
He was eerily skin crawling as Jimmy Saville. Brilliant as Paul Raymond and I forgot he was in Joker 2 even though I saw it at the flicks 😂
Roy Kean has really grown into himself since he stopped playing football.
😆

Lovely interview!
Lovely stuff!
@@maxytwistnot your words..
@paddy_wax the words of Shakin Stevens
Even though I've enjoyed Steve in most Partridge stuff his energy in this interview gives me the distinct impression that he's done unspeakable things to vulnerable people in faraway places.
Absolute gold
Excellent discussion (as usual I'm reluctant to call it an interview really).
Legend of the acting game!
Worked with Steve's dad Tony PAC testing for St Vincent's charity.. top man
I think Tommy may be a big fan of the man himself like the rest of us 😅 Great to see two legends enjoying each others company. Only thing that's missing is an audience
Coogan seems like he's happier.
He got happy after the acclaim for Philomena, and started doing projects that displayed his extent of talent.
When was he not happy
@@shane-irish second series
How do you know
@@shane-irish He didn't look too happy after shooting Forbes McAllister.
Excellent 👌
That was so affirmatory! Was that the best SC interview ever?
I'm getting a lot of Saxondale coming through from Coogan in this interview.
English and like many of us holder-backers reckon Steve Coogan is brill
I love Steve. Love him in as the Minnie roman with a thick English accent in night at the museum 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cannot watch this without hearing Tommy Saxondale try to explain to the council why the squatters shouldn't be removed
It all feels very itchy! Coogan’s body language is all over the place. Great insight into the comedian but I’d love to have heard them both talking for another hour!

I like Coogan, but I hate when people with loads of money say they'd do their job for nothing.
No you wouldn't.
Two very talented and funny lads 👏👏👏👏
this guy was the Radiohead fan in father ted!
So many good things come out of County Mayo
He was amazing in Philomena. Judy was also amazing.
Wow great guest !
Steve’s jacket/ waistcoat is class but with the beard it does look like he’s morphing in to a forest.
Enjoyed that.
Anyone any idea what the green lapel badge he was wearing is about?
Extinction Rebellion.
Fantastic interview
Amazing how he can go from quite a serious man, to a total fuckwhit in Partridge 😄
Also, I heard him say Sellers was a terrible person on Conan…I don’t agree, I think there are far worse people who are still celebrated today
Stan and Ollie is a beautiful movie.
Todays look is retired fisherman
Steve coogan plays himself in most roles , he doesn’t even have to try
Tommy could play Roy Keen’s brother in a film.
Tommy just pulls the Jasus humanity out of the guests doesn't he in the best possible way it's so refreshing I love the man not in a gay way but in a gowan tommy ask him something else ❤he's an institution is our tommy went ta see him in kerry nd his first line was welcome to the inec in killarney an absolute shithole of a town even the gypsys are moving out ..😮😂😂😂 everyone erupted in laughter ❤😂😂😂
Steve's outfit is very Irish. I think he loves Ireland. Great comedian and actor.
He is fully Irish as in ethnicity his mother is from Ireland and his father was born in Manchester but to irish parents even though being born somewhere means nothing but he was raised in England.. he spent all of his summers growing up in the west of Ireland It’s okay
Outfit Very Irish !! TBH don’t see many in Ireland going around in that kinda suit presently. Maybe 1940’s/‘50’s
@@MarieHarvey-q8s He didn't say it was current. It IS Irish.
@@MarieHarvey-q8s is everyone forgetting that Steve Coogan is in fact fully irish he was raised in the UK has English nationality and Irish nationality but spent all of his summers in mayo
Has lots irish roots
Posted 19 hrs ago, I’m sure I watched this years ago
Anyone know what the lapel badge on Coogan is?
1:32 there was an incident with a pigeon; in nineteen eighty three - no one died.

This was a long time ago, maybe from a year ago? Why play it now...
Because they've reuploaded them.
On paper, this particular interview looked a great idea, BUT it was just ... Vacuous, ego stroking. Definitely not one to re-watch.
Fan fuckingtastic
He's turning into Jeremy Corbin !
I used to like him, but then he started spouting politics and calling people who did`t vote the same way as him, so I haven`t watched him for years.
Erm, Tommy was too star struck
Why was Stan and Ollie not funnier ? Are there still some existing copyrights to them and their work ?
