Ricky Gervais On Robert De Niro | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross | Dead Parrot

So we give that lady my first kiss in German and if anyone yells, do the dance, you better aim at John Travolta and not him, it's Mr. Ricky Gervais ladies, how are you? Ricky, very good, thank you, in the middle of a big tour, yes, how many quotes, how many quotes he makes in a big talk and, oh well, no, not too many, I'm about, I think, a hundred. with the London dates, well that's a huge law of numbers, well okay, and when you tour that way, I know comedians seem to take pride in this, when you ever play your tickets, they sell out very quickly , made like, oh, well, yeah, I know.

I know Peter Kay and Lee Evans' tickets sell out very, very quickly, in fact yours probably sell out pretty quickly too. I don't know if you've compared at all, but I imagine they ran out of fast adopters, yes, probably you. I need to advertise to select Achatz no, in fact, I don't know, I'm here. Look, this is what they asked me about the tour because I noticed that you advertised everywhere and I partly thought that you don't need to imply, I thought well. personal magazines and things like that, what would you advertise in public bathrooms? Okay, but you're talking about making a joke, just do it, you ruined your what are you talking about?

What are you talking about? you, after what what and he's posting because I tried, I'm telling you, okay, just do the right thing, I don't think you need to know again, okay, hello, hello Wicky, you're on a big tour at the moment I think so, okay, how many days? Oh, about a hundred, do you have links to sell yourself? Let me mention to you, but this is what surprised me, this is what I've been building so elegantly, is that I was walking around the city in Trafalgar Square, oh, okay, and I. I knew I was on tour like I really knew and I knew it was sold out.

I think it was like eight or nine minutes during the whole tour. Yes, then I saw possibly the largest poster of a man's face I have ever seen in my entire life. Take a look at this, this is not the recycling plaza in London, look at this gigantic one, it's that big, it looks like it's four stories high, okay, and his face is not the kind of face you want to see in size normal, but certainly look at Nelson's. The spine on that is a lot in the foreground, so it's bigger than it looks like me lying down with a big erection.

No son is a hero and look at your big ugly face in Trafalgar Square. I don't know what to do with the toys. I understand your point. If the tour is already sold out, why waste the money on the giant poster knitathon? I spent because I can. I like to introduce myself. Thanks for watching, see you in New York. I know you'll do it in Madison Square. Garden and although it's okay, you're a big star here and I know you're also known in the United States because the office was a huge success. I think the extras did well too.

It doesn't have to end well, but we will. It wouldn't work, will your workforce stand up? Well, I really have to organize some kind of international hour together, so when I'm doing a couple of theaters and the state, yes, students, it's all drugs or outsiders, but what? It really is amazing when you do a talk but you've exhausted yourself with what's established, we've established it I don't think I'll ever do this show again Ricky is I think you seem like a natural comedian, it seems like it comes very naturally to you I mean, I know you're white when are you doing the tour, by the way, how is the tour selling?

It is going well? We sold about 50 thousand in the first nine minutes and then we sold out in about an hour, but it's sold out nonetheless. I put a big picture of me in them, which is a little behind because I haven't even won a war. We'll edit most of that out, but it sucks good to be a naturally funny person and I've spent some time. time with you and you always make me laugh and you always make me laugh on TV, but was it infuriating for you in the period when you weren't on TV when you thought, well, I can almost finally do this like a lot of the people who I see at the Seder have you ever felt frustrated by the fact that you didn't have a way out for me?

You know when you were a kid, you know the most important thing was to laugh. It really won't work. I grew up in a working class family, as long as you had a job or knew you did the right thing with a family, it was a laugh. important, I come from a you know, a family of people who you know were beaten and made fun of each other and and uh, um, my dad's funeral, okay, we're all there and the Vicar started the speech about my dad and, of course, you know, crying. Lockett, here, wife, nieces and, you know, sister, and almost everyone felt like crying, but I came prepared, I came with a package of those tissues and I handed them out and then I could hear them cry and then laugh because I had written everything down. handkerchief stop whining and snotty cow it's a nice thing to do, of course, yes, of course, which was obviously genuine, you know, a sad day, yes, but it's, you know, it's, you know, my father was 83 years old and it comes to all of us, this is natural. funny, I mean, you have your moments, okay, extras, I really grew up early, I didn't like it that much because after the office and all that, I never thought I'd say this, but I'd really like a third. series but you're not doing a third series more like the office you're rescuing before, we're doing a special year for you for the special, they're going on vacation to Spain, so what's up?

Honestly, I fell asleep then. What's your plan for the extra special? I don't know, we haven't written it yet. It will work. You must have an idea. I do one of those things though. You know, those people go to them and show games and ask questions. Her fiancé, will you marry me because she is very intimidated not to do the back? We will be extras. You know, I like Johnny. Johnny is huge. What I like about that is the interest in this interview. Actually, they were talking about his attention. I think he's coming. on this show, listen, you're doing something new, we, Steve, not you, are going to do it, it's a drama, what you're going to do after this, well we're on the extra special, when and then next year we want do it, yes, we.

I want to do something a little more. Things have excited us in recent years. Can I stop because we posted a photo? Steve emerges and people started laughing, to be fair he's in character and he's making Gimple look like he really is, but. snot marks, sorry Steven, I didn't mean about you, he was really making a funny face, oh no, not him, no, not that, but will you be okay expecting drama with that? I mean, I know there were dramatic elements in the office, but it's something that you, because I can't really imagine you staying on a grammatical rollercoaster, but as long as you know how to write about what you know, the drama won't be English people running around. out there with weapons and you know, fighting with rewarding vikings, yeah. it's just that maybe it's an everyday story about something the way you find such an office angle, but without the laughs, well there will be laughs, I mean the soprano is probably one of the best tv shows on all the time, it's really It's funny too, it's just elegant throughout, so even though it's a drama and it's about morality and therefore being embellished with comedy, it will sound like a drama where you say that you're making a drama and people might think that you.

I'm planning something special there soon. I do not know what you're talking about. I knew it was an almost normal conversation, but then you lost me in the last department. The extras are available on DVD and this is series 2 and if you didn't because well yeah that's fine and it's got loads of extras as usual extras in the extras let's take a look if you haven't seen the series and I hope you Yeah. You know I still have this episode. I haven't seen what that is, so a Ronnie Corbett weed and I think we've got great kids.

I haven't seen that one, here you go. The extras are now on DVD. Congratulations. No, I'm going to see it now. I'm going to watch the whole series from the beginning because I missed half of it. I don't know why that was or anything like that. You know where he went that

night

. Where was that noise? I do not know, I do not know. I am asking. you are fine and in a big movie this summer we should mention this very briefly, this is Stardust and any interest in full disclosure I must point out that I am involved in this in a very indirect way because the script for this movie was written by my beautiful and talented wife and stars not only Ricky Gervais but also Wobble de Niro and Michele Pfeiffer and Peter O'Toole.

People are there working with Danila, who must have been quite a person. They were amazing extras, but you met him here. Well, no, but yes, exactly. Yes, the call came. Do you want to spend a couple of days in a movie with Robert De Niro? Yeah, I went and then I met him and I think he's the best actor in the world, so I got there and then. I know I try not to be intimidated. I made a map of the usual and made him laugh and it was great, but I realized it was brave because after about seven hours I want to win.

I think you are the best actress, she is very calm. I was good and about three days later he did well, he called me, said hello, I'm Bob and I went. I thought I never told you to never know the type of work he saw and we had it for like an hour and it was great because In some cases, I wasn't in the scene so it was him, Steven and I, I was directing and in one moment I walked up and said to Steven, oh, he won't try it, they still said, yeah, applause, I came back and De Niro.

He said: what about me? So I said: How am I? Good. Oh, and I said, Yeah, he laughs and he realized what, but he meant it. Humble. I know your frankness. How am I?. It is an absolute, but that must be an ambition. c

ed off your list then, inevitably, maybe you never realized no, yes, exactly, well, yes, one of the yes and one of the benefits that if you make that move with Jimmy Carr now you'll be sorted, it's good, oh , why are you doing this just to make yourself uncomfortable, well, I'll leave you with this is the traitor.

Stardust is coming out later this year and it looks spectacular. I'll stop mentioning your wife's movie. This is a Stardust preview for you. It stars Ricky Device alongside DeNiro. and Michelle Pfeiffer has a booth written by my wife. I should mention that what I helped the lady. Stardust the device you your
