The FBI has been quoted as saying they don’t like this movie, but they had to go along with it.

A FBI spokesman said “this is the one thing we didn’t want to happen”

A friend of mine met Chris Morris and said “you’re my hero” Chris responded with “you disgust me”. Makes me like the man even more

last time i saw Chris he was disguised as a school

When Chris Morris pops up for his twice-a-decade television appearance it's a very special day.

That was the most sobering, direct, clear-cut analysis on the war on terrorism over the last 18 years I've ever heard on a public news channel. Kudos to Channel 4 for having a 15-minute discussion on the topic, and many kudos to Chris for his deeply insightful analysis.

very odd to see him in a suit on a news program and not saying things like "If time were a drug, big ben is a massive needle pumping it into the sky!"

All great satire has a ferocious moral core. Chris Morris is the fiercest of the lot.

This stimulates a part of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon.

Chris Morris has always been my idol, razor sharp, sobering and unflappable as ever, such a massive treat to have his insight into the world to listen to.

Legend. It's a massive compliment to Channel 4 News that he's willing to come onto the show.

"I don't really see the point of comedy unless there's something underpinning it. I mean what are you doing? Are you doing some kind of exotic display for the court, to be patted on the head by the court, or are you trying to change something? The problem is that I think we've got used to a kind of satire which essentially placates the court. You do a nice dissection of the way things are in the orthodox elite, and lo and behold, you get slapped in the back by the orthodox elite who say 'jolly good, can you do us another one'. That's not what it is about so in a way these times should bring on something with a bit more clout. It's about the thrust, and it's really about whether the people you're lancing can get off your spike." - Chris Morris Perfectly said about the point of satire and why so many satires fall flat if they just placate or just roast the court.

If it wasn’t for this guy we’d still have back street dentists.

Not often you get to see Chris Morris being interviewed on the news, good to see him come out of hiding again.

When you think you’re funny and intelligent, then you see Chris Morris talking

Jokes and references aside, you can see Jon has a lot of respect for Chris Morris.

“May just put a lot of effort into a tweet” in context hilarious 😂

“This is a conversation...” “Yes.”

I never realised 'Four Lions' was anything to do with Chris Morris, he's a straight-up genius. This interview shows just how intelligent he is.

If there's one life-lesson that the brilliant works of Chris Morris have taught me over the years, it's that fact into doubt won't go.

When Chris Morris does speak I do my best to listen carefully.

Chris should be careful. In case the FBI send out the roboplegic wrongcocks.

We’ve all been living in the last episode of “Brass Eye” since 2001.

Excellent interview! A rare treat to see Chris Morris sit down and talk like this. Great job!

Its rare these days to see such eloquence and intellectual acuity.

Chris Morris truly is a genius of our time. Absolute legend. Miles ahead of the curve.

Don't do Hero's but Chris Morris is the real deal.

Really insightful interview. I am not over stating this. Chris Morris has and is an incredibly powerful voice. For me, satire, breaks down and reveals truth. It is the most effective way of holding the mirror, to reflect back. It can be uncomfortable, but is uniquely, necessary for a sane society.

"I may just put a lot of effort into a Tweet". What a dude...

More real than the news, Chris Morris has successfully inverted himself.

Let's take a moment to appreciate this interviewer asking great questions, letting his first speak, not shying away from controversial topics

This man is pure brilliance. Could listen to him and his musings all day. So much to learn from a person like him.

Chris Morris, the funniest man alive. It is nice that he's such a good-hearted, well-informed guy.

"I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet." Very funny.

His comedy has had such a positive influence on my life, especially while I was at school.

The USA has a Legal system, not a Justice system.

This man is a living legend. A true genius and will always be ahead of the curve.Brasse eye is still ahead of its time 20 years later

I've never clicked on a video so quickly in my life. More Chris Morris in general, please!!

Morris brought out the best of Peter Cook in the mid 90's during a short-lived but beautiful collaboration; he still seems inspired by Cookian high aspirations, ideas that satire is not just a rough tool of "nice comedy", but something more sharp.

“I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet”. Deadpan perfection

Goodness me we've missed you, Chris. Sharp as a razor blade and soberingly poignant. The snide Tweet reference was perfect.

These are the headlines. God I wish they weren't.

Doctors say he may survive, but only with his neck as an internal organ.

Check out Adam Buxton podcast for a really good interview with Morris. It's probably the most relaxed I've heard him in an interview.

Chris Morris is a legend in comedy and TV man. Thank you for bringing this very important issue to light. Unfortunately not many people will hear about it.

I call on Chris Morris to MAKE MORE CONTENT

"I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet"" hahaha laughed way too hard at that

The genius of Chris Morris. Never outflanked by the bonkers. "Chris Morris, thank you for joining us." Chris Morris, thank you for existing. You genius, you diamond, you rare and beautiful thing.

The courage, tenacity and sincerity shown. Ted Maul would be proud. Chris Morris: a living legend

"I might just put a lot of effort into a tweet". Classic Morris.

Always a pleasure seeing him interviewed. Sadly, it doesn't happen often.

My Christ he's sharp. Erudite and on point.

We used to have the genius of Chris Morris on our screens, now we've got Mrs Brown's Boys, The Last Leg and Not Going Out.

What a rare treat. He's always such a brilliant interviewee.

Chris Morris, brillant discussion, thank you. Please, Chris, turn your attention to adoption and child social services where the same thing is happening: abusive parents are being missed by the system, loving parents are being targeted, destroyed, and their children taken away. A starting point for the services would be if, for instance, the child is having difficulty in school, struggling with anxiety. The parents are blamed, and abuse charges are manufactured. The services then keep their adoption statistics on target, and look like they are being effective. The occasional child who is murdered by their abusive families looks like they slipped through the net, when the isn't a net.

Chris is simply pure pragmatism and realism, love it.

Cant wait to watch his new film whilst off my head on Cake and Clarky Cats

Anyone feeling stressed at the end of the day... WILL BE FIRED!!!!!!

Fantastic interview all round: Good, succinct questions from Jon Snow, and fantastic commentary on American politics & its national security from Chris Morris.

I love this man, and not just because he's pulped over a thousand weasels.

Paedogedden Part 2 : Epsteins Island please!

When he decided to make the film he told the producer "Hello, producer? Get me a team that can work as a team."

When he finished that sentence with "...I dunno, I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet." It was the most brass eye quip he pulled out in this interview.

"isn't donald trump many steps ahead of you?" "ahead of ME?! haha" That bit was hilarious

This Guy is a british gem, always producing the highest calibre in comedy and political reasoning. So refreshing to have someone so honest and who can portray his point perfectly.

Great to see Mr Morris out in the light again :) The Day Today still remains the comedic bible of incisive and insightful satire, what a great piece of work!

Those are the headlines. God, I wish they weren’t.

This film was made 2 years before the FBI hyped up a plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan

a very rare interview indeed when chris isn't trolling the interviewer lol

I felt so sorry to hear about the passing of Ted Maul, Chris Morris's old colleague. I hope they eventually find his remains.

You've lost the news, John!!

How accurate the saying "many a true word is spoken in jest" is. Chris Morris is a very clear thinker which helps him deliver this sad (or dreadful) reality via his cutting satire. Great guy. Really like him.

That was a great interview - Chris Morris’s mind works so fast.

Please Bring back Brass Eye!!! 👍

I’d love to hear a conversation with him and Adam Curtis

An absolutely phenomenal film, everyone should definitely watch it.

He is facting Jon Snow til he farts.

Guy is a legend

He's back! Morris was probably my first internet search. It's nice to see him again. Take heed, fellow youtubers!

This interview is so soothing, full of justly indignation, enthusiasm, brilliance of mind and cleverness, which is much needed these days and which gives me hope. Thank you.

Love Morris' laugh when Snow says "It's hard to believe".

From telly to belly. Fact me till I fart!

Chris Morris is a national treasure. A real OG.

"we have got other versions" Beautiful.

Vote Chris Morris for next Permanent PM! 👍

Chris Morris is a gift from god, Genius

This man is a genius. I dont use that word often. Top Mark's for Channel 4 for doing an extended interview. The tweet comment went straight over Jon Snows head. Brilliant.

Chris Morris is "the business". Probably the greatest satirist of our times! Genius. We are lucky to have someone like this to see through the spin.

"Those are the headlines. Happy now?!"

Chris Morris is a comedy genius, Brass Eye was absolutely brilliant. He’s an incredibly intelligent articulate man who really knows how the world works.

The intellect of Chris is powerful - so articulate and sees things and describes them in a way that makes yer think. I find myself hanging onto his every word and he is a comedy genius and is also a great electronic music composer. Is there no end to the talents of this man?

Super refreshing to see an interview where the two people don't yell and interrupt each other constantly and both have interesting and well thought out exchanges. Oh it's British TV, of course.

wish i could have even a quarter of the intelligence chris morris has. amazing man

Sack all journalists who don’t know what COINTELPRO is.

We need Chris Morris more than ever.

I'm torn between respecting him for not going along in the everyday famous people oversaturation on the one hand, and wanting to see his razor-sharp and witty analysis on pretty much any topic on the other.

A very reassuring presence, is Mr Morris. Look forward to the film.

He is close to doing a spherical interview.

I have great respect for what Chris Morris does. He's a great artist who, like many others, feels inspired by current events and imagines he is making some sort of a difference in the cosmic scheme. As I get older i do start to realise there is a big difference between those who are charged with great responsibilty to lead a country, or run the FBI or lead a police force, and those who are critics of these huge organisations. It's all very well to sit on the side and say how stupid those in power are, but it's quite another to step up and take responsibility to try to do something about it yourself. Morris gives the impression that the real problems in society are that those in power are either evil or stupid, and doesn't seem to realise that there are really difficult obstacles to solve in society and also that there are problems in the world that do not find their source with the rich and powerful white guys running the show. This is essentially the problem with the class of people Morris belongs to, the over-educated left wing artistic bubble. Also, to answer one of his questions directly, the point of comedy without a political message is to make people laugh and increase the overall joy in the world, and what is a more noble cause than that?

Who else went "dum-dum dum-dum" as soon as the interview was over, in the style of The Day Today music? 😂
