Ben Elton: Hard Chat

[@jcmon9706]

One of the best Hard Chats! He held his own very well

[@OriginalPiMan]

I've barely heard of the guy, but this was great. He knew when to rebut the joke, when to take it on the chin, and when to take a swing at himself for good measure.

[@danidejaneiro8378]

I love him. And his books.

[@TheGlassEyesOfficial]

Ben elton is one of the greatest writers of the 20th and 21st century

[@DrunkJester]

When i worked at Myers Ben Elton would always come when he had a new book to make sure it was front and centre. 😂

[@RandomAds]

Ben was too charming to break, you need easier targets Tom!

[@strictlysega]

his previous books are great too check em out at all salvo stores

[@frankfiocco8004]

Young Ones and Black Adder creator. Funny bloke.

[@CyrilChapman-ue4kp]

Wow Tom finally got someone famous to agree to be on his little show

[@PrinceMoonbeam_]

NO! JIMMY PROTESTED

[@shelbynamels7948]

'why should anyone give a sh*t' is a question a host should ask any guest who comes on a show to promote their latest whatever.

[@ghostofguy]

He's still very successful to this day. A finger in many pies.

[@biancavecchio7050]

haha love love love this!!

[@haydencooper_]

Didn't mind Ben's demeanor and rebuttals up against the jokes. Usually they just giggle like a little schoolgirl inbetween jabs.

[@fellowcitizen]

Have a pint of 'HAWK'!

[@markc6714]

I know where Tom sticks his blunt sword....

[@marscarz]

Mr Elton's inability to "play along" was a bit annoying. Yes mate, we know you're good.

[@valb9068]

Good tom me like

[@jbennett8660]

Ben is so clever he actual just made Tom look unfunny in this one. Hard to do.

[@xSUBIACOx]

For those who don't know, Ben Elton is an ENGLISH FUCKING LEGEND.

[@danielsimmich1858]

I feel like this guy compensates by talking louder and more (although he made a damn good point about satire)

[@atyj1]

For a comedian he seems to have taken Hard Chat too much at face value...

[@krismou9332]

I didn't really like this hard chat, this guy was far too defensive and unfunny... Especially for a comedian.

[@edtollway3730]

This guy's a comedian? Career change pronto.

[@davidberko9379]

not a comedian in the traditional sense, very old school British type.

[@fics112]

Yes, 16 novels, many sell out stand up tours, written several TV shows and west end musicals. What a flop...

[@weirdunclebob]

Either you've never seen The Young Ones or The Blackadder or your sense of humour is very 'different'.
