I love it when he told the Hollywood elites that they were not that important and nobody cares about award shows. He has guts!

20 years ago i was mildly left wing...now i'm an 'Alt-right Neo-Nazi.' The weird thing is...my politics haven't changed.

"You've mis-gendered my cat, how dare you" What a legend.

"Being dead is like being stupid... it's only painful for others"... so good.

In a world that is uncomfortable with truth, it’s pure joy listening to Ricky.

“I don’t fear being dead... It’s like being stupid: It’s only painful for others.” This made me laugh because it is so twisted and also true.

Ricky Gervais is one of the few people in the mainstream who don't bootlick any side and says it like it is

“It’s fake outrage from people who want to shout out a window”

Ricky Gervais. One of the few celebrities who I genuinely admire. That speech he gave at the Golden Globes was unforgettable.

"Being dead is like being stupid, it is only painful for others."

Always a voice of reason and insight. We need more people like Ricky Gervais on the world stage.

Skavlan is so good at leading a conversation. I love how polite he is and the effort he puts on to make his guests feel comfortable.

"you mis-gendered my cat, how dare you" LMFAO

This is the best example of a chat show during covid. Really clever design and feels like they are in the same room. Bravo Skavlan!

“If you don’t have empathy for animals, you don’t have empathy.” I couldn’t agree more, Ricky.

Ricky is the bridge that connects the working class and the upperclass. I think that he’s a very important person.

Gervais is never scared. He always insults the elites when he is doing the golden globes. Kudos to him.

I love Ricki Gervais’s honesty. He just says what he thinks, with no filters, no matter who he’s talking to. It’s an admirable quality.

"I dont fear being dead. I won't know it. It's like being stupid. It's only painful for others." This man is a godsend....

Humourous as he is, there is a lot of truth behind his humour which the mainstream are too stupid to take on board.

Rickys charisma is off the charts. A genuine guy with a very likeable personality. His laugh is contagious 😂😂😂

"You've misgendered my cat....how dare you?" Brilliant.

The levels of awkward are through the roof, and I can't stop laughing😂😂😂

One of the best interviewers out there...he lets his guests speak

Ricky's normality and ease at which he converses really highlighted how weird and self oriented those two women are.

You can see the two women look uncomfortable when Ricky is talking about being offended because they are the exact people he is talking about.

There are stand ups, speeches, moments you remember and then there are things you will never forget for your entire life. The speech he gave at the golden globes was literally one of the best stand-ups/speeches/moments in time. Given the climate culturally, if you watched it once you’ll never forget it. Thank you Ricky.

I love how Ricky's laugh transcends any language barrier! xD

“I don’t fear being dead. It’s like being stupid, it’s only painful for others.” This man has a 2000 IQ. We need another celebrity roast, or better yet a politician roast. Can Ricky host the Inauguration please?

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

“I’m not superstitious, but I am a little sticious” -Michael Scott

This is the best COVID layout of a multiple person interview that I've yet seen... it took me one minute in to realise they weren't all in the same place. Excellent editing and scenario prep.

if you don't have empathy with animals, you don't have empathy. well spoken.

"I only watch shows with sub-titles." No reaction. Norwegian sense of humour. Hats off to Gervais. That was a struggle.

Canadian here. Happy to find this channel, based on how the interviewer handled this interview I am subscribing. Excellent interviewing. Tusen takk.

His smile and his giggle - that’s what makes him attractive. It really doesn’t matter what he looks like.

Who's seein' this after TWITTER bans Trump for LIFE?

This is why people enjoy English humour/ sarcasm, Ricky does it!! Also talks a lot of common sense

Afterlife is such a great and heartwarming series.

Fabulous, as always! I love the way you find new and unexpected questions to ask (rather than the tired old 'press conference' fodder) and turn the whole thing into a warm, friendly and interesting conversation we get to eavesdrop on.

Thing is, before the whole woke agenda started Ricky was a left winger. They pushed him to a centralist stance. Like me.

“If you tell a lie often enough people will believe it”- literally a quote Adolf Hitler Ricky hits the nail on the head with this one

probably the smartest celebrity around nowadays. go, ricky!

Boy, it does feel damn good, to get your own views and thoughts mirrored and represented to the world, by someone like Mr. Gervais. Thank you for this gem! And the fact he called his female cat Oliver, because THEY DON'T CARE, man he is on a whole 'nother level. I love you!

Coulda swore they were all in the same room... well played. Crystal clear audio!!!!!

Ricky Gervais is great,he speaks his mind and dont hide behind the political correctnes wich is all consuming the good things in life,in fact,political correctnes is a pandemic on its own

Just rewatched The Office and it's def the greatest achievement in the history of the comedy genre for sure.

"if you don't have empathy with animals, you don't have empathy"

“You’ve misgendered my cat” “I don’t want to die on a spike” “being dead is like being stupid, its just painful for everyone else” 😂

The look on these two women's faces is priceless!

his laugh is more contiguous than covid :D

"I won't know, it's like being stupid, it's only painful for others" made me genuinely laugh out loud. Thanks Ricky! 😂

Awkwardness level: Swedish television talk show

You could feel the two women being offended by Ricky's comments on political correctness.

“I’ve always got suicide to fall back on,” lol.

If you apologize, you’re saying you were bad. Don’t apologize for anything. Just be good

I remember seeing "viewer discretion advised" on tv and thinking, "what kind of mentally crippled person would be offended by this? It's sad they even put such a warning on tv. That means some crazy person complained and they actually listened" Now those people congregate online, and make so much noise they have real world influence. I'm disappointed in everyone now. It's like people are too scared to say "No. This is stupid. Get away from me."

"being dead is like those billions of years before you were born" this shit haunts me when i think about it

holy crap, he literally just said what I always have when he said "what do you think its like when you die? And I think its like the 13 and a half billion years before you were born. And that was alright, wasn't it?"

I just came across this. Probably one of the best bits of telly Iv seen in a long time. Excellent stuff, thank you. I subscribed of course! Stay safe.

The two ladies are totally freaked out by his cancel culture commentary.

The look on the faces of the two females when Ricky gets serious is priceless ! They are clueless .

I like the flow of the interview, the guest is allowed to develop his thoughts, no canned or fake audience laugh, no forced jokes from the interviewer, and interesting questions.

I don't fear being dead. It's the process of dying that I'm afraid of.

One has to admire the quality and intelligence of all of Skavlan's interviews. Interesting questions and meaningful. Obviously Rick is the right guest for that and his statements, which he now luckily repeats a lot on many platforms, get the required and relevant coverage.

When interviewing a person like Gervais its best to do 1 on 1 , those 2 girls were unnecessary

It just goes to show that you can be fluent in a language and still miss 90% of what’s really going on in a conversation.

"There's just so much hypocrisy around" - so true

Ricky is just so pure with his humor....

"It's extremism that's the problem"... Very true, been saying this for awhile.

The awkwardness of the interview is almost as funny as Ricky 🤣

Ricky is cracking some great gags in this... Fredrik gets them every time, the girls less so.

"It's the alcohol, they're watering." - Ricky Gervais

This kind of goes along with what Matthew McConaughey said. He earned a whole lot of respect from me when he said this. He said, and I’m paraphrasing a little, “people seek satisfaction not for their own achievements and successes, but from the downfall of people that don’t agree with them.” It’s like they don’t look for positive ways to feel good about themselves in the long term. They’re looking for negative ways to feel good for a brief moment.

Ricky: my cat lasted 16 and a half years Blonde Later: .... How old was she? Ricky: She was 16 and a half years.

i'm english but i love skavlan. way better than any talk show we've ever had here. i appreciate them speaking in english when they do. as i am selfish english lol. but seriously the presenter is spot on. he let's his guests speak and answer the questions he asks. he seems genuinely interested in his guests, i can sense an enormous amount of conviction from this man. love it.

Ricky's comedy is on a whole other level to theirs they look scared to death

"People are lyers, they pretend it's because of what you're saying, but really they just don't want to hear it, because you're not on the right side". BOOOM!!!

"You wanted to kill yourself, but you didn't, because the dog was hungry." Holy shit dude.

That actress Ricky liked went from being his best friend at the start of the clip to mortal enemy at the end 😭

"16 and a half." "Oh wow, she was so old." Meanwhile, my mixed breed garden variety outside cats eating garbage catfood all lived to 20+.

"Extremism is threatening everything" - Ricky Gervais Now that is an excellent quote, it is extremism on both sides that is threatening the future of the world.

Ricky was like “damn he almost pulled that fashion question off without laughing” .. I think Ricky had a very unique sense of humor that touches people. When he’s talking about loosing his soulmate she looked like she wanted to cry.. I am a cat person myself, but the funny thing about cats is that once a cat loves you it will always love you and normally doesn’t care much about other people. My cat hates people but I think sometimes if I let him, he’d try to crawl up my ass and stay there.. I can’t do anything without him following me everywhere I go. I can be sitting on the toilet and I swear, out of nowhere a white furry paw will come under the crack at the bottom of the door. It’s almost like that paw is saying “I know you’re in there, you can’t escape me “ like a bloody stalker! It can be unnerving at times. Sometimes he will be laying at my feet, I’ll wake up and he’s looking at me and you can tell he’s plotting on me. Like he’s thinking “just you wait, one of these days you’re going to drop your guard and BAM! 💥 YOUR MINE” lol, damn cats lmao!

Ricky Gervais always makes me laugh. This interview was a riot!

Thank f**k for people like Ricky Gervais.

I always thought Ollie was male until recently. I like this host, he keeps it light and steers the conversation well.

I'm an American, and I'm loving Skavlan great energy in every interview! Thank you guys

Ricky is awesome. Calls them all out each year at the festival of detached souls, the oscars.

I like Ricky Gervais! He calls a spade a spade.

Everything he says after 8mins and 30 seconds is spot on.

Great to have an audience just listening rather than cheering or jeering because they heard something they agree or disagree with.

Oh my goodness, that model is the epitome of Ricky’s earlier comment on “not knowing”!

The Twitter topic starts around 11:00 .

The office wouldn’t be allowed today. They have changed the rules! I absolutely admire him. Even a couple of years after his oscars speech I still can’t believe he got away with it!

What a brilliant format. Will watch more.

Gervis is just pleasant to listen to. And so funny.

That older woman looked like she was going to burst when Ricky starting speaking truth. At the end, she looked like she wanted to run out of there. Just observation.

8:45 and 10:45 perfectly sums up twitter, or any social media to be honest.

So, refreshing to see honesty and integrity! Outstanding!

I love his honesty!! 😘
