And thank you! Oh Joy!

[@samuelmills2649]

Can you please release it off-spotify as well?

"I was on a TV show, Arrested Development" such an unassuming, modest young man

[@deanmacey3554]

Rob, it sounds like you've never seen Arrested Development. You need to drop everything and watch it immediately! It is (or at least its first two series are) a sitcom masterpiece!

[@FloraWest]

What a treat to get to see that show for the first time.

[@Jlk-rm1jv]

I can't watch anything with Jason Bateman in it. He plays the same character in everything. Cant stand him

[@RyanAndTheHawk]

Scott Pilgrim, Paulie Bleeker, Nick Twisp, Evan... no one plays characters like Michael Cera. What a guest!

[@HarryDuBois616]

don't forget the finest performance of his career as Wally Brando in Twin Peaks

[@merylbonderow5993]

He’s so modest! ❤

[@orlandusbarrow8692]

He’s basically the same guy in all of those movies.

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

@@HarryDuBois616 No... his finest role is Michael Cera in This is the End.

[@CaptChrispy]

5:55 I like that, talking about listening and then Rob interrupts to say the same thing!

[@tomfool23]

Very pure and lovely reaction from Rob there when Cera tells him the Garry Shandling liked The Trip

[@joanneturner1486]

Loved this. He's just so good. Love that he loves you too Rob.

[@davidlindsay6274]

Thank you Rob Brydon for bringing on Michael Cera, massive fan of his

[@willbournerv2259]

I never knew I needed to see both of these people together

[@sophietucker3163]

Rob Brydon is such a talented and charismatic presence, whatever he does.

[@hawtmess66]

He's a comedic gem. I've seen just about every movie he's done and I've never been disappointed. From Juno, Super Bad, Arrested Development and Nick and Norah amongst a few. I look forward to what's next from him

[@prakharjain9801]

Two of my favorites. Love from 🇮🇳

[@fiv1168]

These are just the perfect length. Also, Rob Brydon tells Michael Cera to 'Get lost!' 😂

[@layalabi1667]

Thank you!

[@iainprendergast8311]

Does Rob not know about Arrested Development? Pure genius

[@fatmumlickslips445]

Michael Cera class act guy. really down to earth! fucking love him. I could never say anything bad about him again especially after this interview. cool personality. GREAT sense of humour. oh Michael, you are loved.

[@ChillyMilly908]

i just love him forever

[@johnnyroadcrew3841]

Nice one Mr B ... ..

[@hensonlaura]

Skillfully done.

Mr. Cera is excellent.

Superbad (m2007) and Scott pilgrim vs the world (m2010) Michael cera❤

[@joycejohnson7164]

Juno, my fav.

[@andytallman101]

Great interview, Rob. Can you please also interview Michael's "Paper Heart" co-star, Charlyne Yi?

[@MrUmandMrEr]

Human Remains deserves more exposure. I have the dvd, but is it available to stream?

[@TheWestieoo7]

Good to hear people started as kids like me . I thought I was the only one

[@philrowe7989]

Hi Rob, what microphone is that you're using please?

[@zalmbreggin]

Is that a portrait of Leonard Rossiter on the desk, visible at 8:39? Love to know the story of why it’s there if that’s what it is.

[@SuperSuperdude88]

arrested development!! michael was like a kid in that amazing show!

[@andypalin3287]

Nice facial hair Rob! 😀🤘🎸😎

[@daveyfunk]

Great interview. Shame you didn't ask him about playing himself in 'This is the End'. He comes across as the nicest guy and his obnoxious character in that cracks me up every time :)

[@PurushaDesa]

He's also a prick in Molly's Game. Though that might be cos the character is based on Tobey Maguire!

[@emilymiller4349]

God damn, those Canadians are nice.

[@Light-qi8ol]

4:06 i did something similar as a kid. it was during a soccer match. i played defence. i sat down in a meditative stance, positioning my hands a certain way such as i had seen in the movies, i also closed my eyes. after one minute my coach shouted from the sideline to warn me against an incoming attack from the opponent. so i stood up to defend while roleplaying that i had gained immense power from my meditation. unfortunately it didn't have any supernatural effect which i soon had to accept, although i did enter meditation a 2nd time as well before ending my fantasy-spree. i remember looking at the sideline and seeing my father baffled, and that's what made me stop playing buddhist-karate-kid on the soccer field. we lost but i learned to contain myself from that day on.

[@carina9295]

Wow, when Sugar Daddy Ken met Allan

[@BURP39R]

Aye aye McAfee is still with us.

[@zzzcocopepe]

nincompoop is an accurate word to describe michael cera. lmao im half-kidding, i dont hate michael cera at all.

[@supergangsterish1234]

His beard reminds me of that toy that you use a magnet on to move iron filings around a man's face

[@hawtmess66]

Hahahahaha. I totally see it

[@RealBesty]

We all started as a kid, Rob… 🙄😉

[@3506Dodge]

'Hollywood people' are so careful and diplomatic. That's how they get to be 'hollywood people.' There is so much money riding on them they have to be.

[@HughRaine]

Reunited in Barbie!

[@drumgold23]

The Bill Murray bits might not age well tbc

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

Garry Shandling, Bill Murray. My heroes.

[@TheirStoryUK]

@Rob Brydon I know this message will probably get lost in the pile but it's my ultimate number one dream to feature on the panel of would I lie to you. I would be amazing on there I just know it. I'm very quick witted too. If not as quick as our Lee!

[@lnfreeman]

This felt like it was more about Rob than Michael

[@artiezonk]

He might be the only one who's had a good experience with Bill

Not a huge fan of Cera's work but he seems like a pretty cool guy.

[@MarkBond1111]

Crikey! How much did you pay Cera? !

[@aaroncarter240]

I lose all respect for people that work with schumer ,one of the worst joke thieves going.
