Steve Coogan's Jonathan Ross Impression Doesn't Go Down Well! | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

Well, welcome back to South Summit to see you again. Nice to see you again. Would you like to say Steve Coogan, you know, I haven't seen you act alive for years, for years, news, news, news, and Steve Coogan is back. I'll be doing a big live tour in the country and I'm really excited about this because I want you guys to see you again. I guess it's a lot of new material. Are there any new characters? Yes, that's all. doing Tom Saxondale, something I've never done before, Tommy Saxon Gus, you've never done it in your life, no, no, but I'm doing it, I'm doing it, poor calf, Pauline, calf, Duncan Thicket and Alan Partridge, for Of course, and I'm being like

well

, at the end of the show I was going to talk about everything that has a funny moment, it's called Steve Coogan presents and teaches and other less successful characters, it's okay because it was a mixed level of popularity with all the yeah, there's, yeah, so Bill, that's what I mean.

There are sort of Paul and Pauline fans out there, but obviously Alan is the guy on my hips. I have always loved Paul and Pauline Calf. Okay, obviously I love Alan Partridge, but I wonder if you like the characters or prefer to play characters that maybe aren't characters. He's the most popular and

well

, I like playing Paul Karf because if I want to play him on stage it's like taking a break because I just act like he's a little drunk and I just talk. About things, it's not a big exaggeration for me. I always thought, "Come on, just because you're not a bad-looking guy," but I always thought you looked really good with that poor calf hair.

I think you should use that. Molly, yeah, the problem is that these days there's a kind of postmodernism, yeah, anything goes, so you try to wear clothes like that and you realize I used to have a skinny tie and a kind of skinny lapel jacket and that's what they do all these something like these young hipster pop stars that are away these days, so it spoils, don't go looking for them, we got blood, we'll be Bonanno in it, you know, this is this is a hip sent by what .. here. You know that's your audience, but worry about the events, we're going to be fine, so the tour is.

I know the tickets are already sold out, but you're making a great entrance, a great date. I think you will do it in the Altos and in your own way, of course. Stevie Wonder is playing this very weekend and now it's sold out in seconds, I mean sold out. I think by the time the announcer's tickets were gone, you could have fooled that place 20 or 30 times about how you're doing. the sales of the real old one are already sold out and in fact we have the reason we put on the day me too is because all the other tickets are sold out it's all the small places all the small places are sold out I'll find you luck with the Stevie Wonder stuff , Apollo was sold out, there were several dates, so we are putting the o2 on to meet the huge demand, but it's not sold out yet, it's not on sale yet, Jonathan, but when it goes on sale next weekend.

I'm sure that in a matter of minutes Steve around us

doesn

't know that he'll be on tour in ten years, the tickets are already sold out, even I haven't come to terms with the fact that I'm not big enough for you or for I'm just guessing SEBI, I'm just guessing so it wasn't me looking through the bandage when we know it was taught once and you do a great song at the end and this sounds to me like what I heard and read an article with you in one of the papers, one of the papers says it sounds like it's a bit of a rude song, it's rude, it probably has the rudest word in the English language that is said over and over again. once again, well charlie, what's the kind of military language for that November Logan Charlie Tango and the word for you in the middle you make a song about King Canute in a way of speaking yeah, see you next Tuesday, that is what we're talking about here, okay, you're worried about doing this, you're worried about the reaction, actually I'm not because it's like I think the thing is the way I really like it: I'd rather go down in flames than say the people did it.

I'm kind of off the boil, so I'm going to do some pretty daring things. There are some fans of mine who like who I like on the radio for people who don't like vulgarity, they like intelligence. and I do, but there would be a lot of intelligence on the show, but there will be a lot of good and smart people like me for people like how do you do it first? I met Steve Coogan many years ago and I really want to say it wasn't the big auspicious meeting for some reason I got involved in a Royal Variety presentation and I asked them, I didn't actually have an act where I was presenting someone I was in Steve and this was before he left, saw the light and came back. doing character comedy and you were doing straight up old school impersonations, right?

Oh yes, do you remember? I think you even did Frank Spencer on stage. I did if I were Spencer and ironically, this is the

impression

that you're not here. People were supposedly just enjoying it, although they were only enjoying it because he was Frank Spencer, he's a very good impersonation, yes, could I bother you, sir? Put it there or do it in the morning, just like he joined Canes at my 30th birthday party and what really made me laugh was that my dad, my dad was there, maybe I walked up and said, damn, Jonathan said that You must be so proud of your son, Ethan, baby, no one talks like he's not just a bad personification of me, but a bad personification of a human being. hit on the head and this well if they seem to recognize it now I'm going to make the voice that you lost you must be very quiet your psalmist if that's how well you must be very proud of it and my dad lost one I know dear, it's okay, what do they do with Alan Partridge in the United States?

Because you're making a hit there, now you're at the premiere of a new movie here next week and next week we have the brilliant Ben Stiller. The fantastic comedian who stars in that movie alongside you and also directed it. I think that's how rich he is, obviously, you're known there and you have a solid and growing career. What do they do with you as an interpreter? What they make of shows like Partridge is that they appreciate the direction of your day, but they have a kind of cult there, all those kind of funny people who are famous, you know, and I More or less mean Ben Stiller said he saw it in his laptop in his kitchen, his wife said because they weren't available on the BBC they hadn't provided it and the American format is interesting, but there's a bit of a cult following, so you've got a surge of appreciation.

People know what you can do, but that's not a character I can imagine him working in America. I guess you think he's very, very British. A lot of my comedy is very, very British. I mean my live show, but you know. Say I'm a second, this office thing here, that when I saw it, I mean, initially I didn't understand it when I first saw it, I didn't realize what was going to happen and then I fell in love with it. A lot of people didn't and I thought this is quintessentially British, this is about humiliation, this is about a pompous character deluding himself and yet he's transferred to America and it's working very well.

I'm sure they could do that with Partridge. I think we're I'm interested in it rather than doing something American style, but it's about getting the right people or the right person to play, you know, they play Alan, you know, it's very specific and it's very performance-oriented, you know, it's a lot about me doing all that, I talk like that and I'm an idiot, yes, but it says quite a difficult task, but in some ways it's been an advantage for me because here I'm a little pigeonholed with that. Well, they know you more for that, that's what I really know you as a straight actor with the king, that's right, yeah, yeah, whereas here, in fact, when I meet kind of film directors, the British ones, I say, oh, they're not going to hit me. a job for this which means that Alan Partridge was American directors tend to see me as someone capable of doing two things well in Washu, one is if you ever miss doing the character, would you do another TV series for that and the The second question would be what happened to this Partridge film?

It seems like we are again, again, again, again, it seems like it will never happen. Well, I like to make it quite fun and I still have moments where I'm walking down the street. I think, um, I wonder what Alan would say about that, you really do, so he feels like he's completely grown up, yeah, he does, it's kind of like that. I think it's because he's like a real person. If he were a real person, he would be. very annoying, yeah, yeah, I mean, it's funny because he's kind of a character, but if you were really trapped in an elevator with him, he'd be a horribly annoying person, yeah, oh, so in a way it's like I know to this really annoying person who sometimes helps me be funny, yeah, but the rest of the time I think, oh God, it's that annoying person again, but I enjoy playing him, man, in the live show I'm doing, there will be a Alan's big fat part, so this live show. and this is new, some sort of new career development for him or he's just the character that's being a big lifestyle introduction, so he left behind the last time we watched TV at home.

Oh yes, he has changed his life, he has had an epiphany and wants to help. people who want to get their life back on track with a great kind of presentation, like a kind of life coach, one of those things like a life coach, okay, and what kind of advice do you give people, what kind of things, haha, well, him. he has pearls of wisdom one of his pearls of wisdom is that yesterday today today loud in your voice you know strange yesterday today was tomorrow but tomorrow today will be yesterday you can't argue with yes but there's no point in waiting for meaningless waffle on him and he also makes a world premiere of his new play which is based on the life of Sir Thomas More in which Alan will play Sir Thomas More, which also features Ambolyn and Henry the 8th and the part of the film Recent films will not happen, they will never help.

No I don't know, man, if you had it, you had an idea, you were going to go ahead with an idea and stuff with you, yeah, but it's just some mornings where I wake up and think, oh, that would be really cool, something very fun to do, there's some money I can make. of thinking, oh, I can't be bothered and I should have never opened my mouth about it in the first place, but it could still happen, you know, maybe you wouldn't want to do it and do it wrong because yeah, that's the big problem is you know that There's a bit of a legacy of Alan's on television and if I was going to do something I'd really like to do it.

You know, absolutely, okay, now you know we've been talking a little bit about Steve's toe, of course, and his upcoming movies that we've mentioned, one called Clap Thunder, that's the one we've still seen on the that I've seen, I saw over the summer, fantastic, it'll be fine, I mean, really, very funny and very a bit dark, I mean, very much like a British film in some ways, only funny, yes, but I also know that There is also a new thing coming out on television, which

doesn

't sound like comedies, it is a drama, but it has its drama with very funny moments, but it is sadder with funny parts, but Craig Cash wrote and directed it quite brilliantly , very involved in the creation and cover-up of the royal family, so he has a pretty good pedigree.

That's true, yeah, and it was filmed in Manchester and I play Bin Man, who's a gambling addict, yeah, so it was nice to come back to Manchester and work with some real northerners, can you do a Mr. raxin, can you do that? It's actually funny because when I mean, when I mean, when I didn't, because I said I changed my accent depending on who I'm with. I greet you in the United States if you are an American who is a question? America, I'm a little American, I know what I'm in America, what I do is fine, it turns out you order like in America, if you order a glass of water, have another glass of water, they say, yes, a glass of water.

Please, you know what your water is, you know what New York's water is, but I don't play, I do, so they really like the English accent on their side, so they don't really know anything, so they Become a Manchester Cougar Lord, yes. you ever said very good to know oh yeah i said greetings buddy hey how long have you been here? It's great to see you again. I'm coming to see you live. I'm very excited to see some good vibes. I'll make sure there's a ticket for you to buy, no problem yes, there are a few left, you'll have to hurry if you want a ticket, yeah, all those people you couldn't get to to get to Stevie Wonder, have mercy of anything, so first I'm going to make a little suspicious mr.
