Owen is cool as a cucumber, and his lines are incredibly funny with great timing. He's a natural. He just does it so effortlessly. They made some of the funniest films together. They had a great run.

[@RageONTv]

Such a passive aggressive interview 😂

[@UPB78]

As any Jonathan Ross interview is meant to be 😃

[@fashunpuss6279]

Just nasty

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

😂... it was just funny. I think Ben & Owen have a similar style of comedy (plus more).

That's what they call a british interview

[@Fiawordweaver]

I love Ben Stiller. I also loved his parents too. I’ll watch all Ben Stiller performances

[@mikem3789]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Standing ovation

[@tobydstreet]

Jesus Jonathan… had a fair bit of growth to do from here hey 😂

[@benrosn8154]

Those guys are funny

[@brianmiller4207]

Looks like Owen Wilson and his Attorney ^_^

[@stephengamers]

Alex The Lion and Lightning McQueen

[@shaolinpunkFTW]

Ben Stiller has gone up in my estimation after seeing the outstanding series called Severence. Highly recommended.

[@benrosn8154]

Dude, you got to see the show escape from Dannemora. That's a Ben Stiller directed show. It is like an amazing best prison show I've ever seen, hands-down

[@shaolinpunkFTW]

@@benrosn8154 wow first I heard of it. Will check it out cheers!

[@427max]

Thank you been looking for a new show ❤

[@herjinderbhatia8285]

When was this filmed, what year????

[@FindecanorNotGmail]

It's in the description: 2004

[@jo-annejacques5400]

Jonathon Ross lost Ben and Owen very quickly in this interview. Unfortunately, Jonathon is not a great interviewer. Graham Norton has no competition.

[@janeleray132]

No he didn’t. He’s much funnier than Ben Stiller.

[@tronam]

Yeah, Ross fell off a cliff and never recovered. I’ve rarely heard someone so irritating; It was like listening to a serrated knife.

[@tupachussain7489]

Lol he was quite insulting to Owen lol.

[@oscarswain3238]

Don't disrespect the king JR like that yo. But yeah, this one time he messed it up a lil

[@oscarswain3238]

But watch it again, the boys seeemd in a weird place before they came on...JR seemed to have lost both before it began. Then he really lost Owen with the nose thing, however he was a) funny as hell b) complimented them both a tonne for most of it c) had good social skills apart from the inital loss...I wasn't a train wreck, but a rare and odd miscalculation at the start of an otherwise reasonably solid interview

[@user-zj6vd1oy1x]

I am sungle to sandra wilson

[@KevPage-Witkicker]

I'm only just realising how poor an interviewer Jonathan Ross is... I like his manic delivery on panel shows and presenting gigs but here he's just annoying,

[@thefog7067]

He's always been annoying 😄

[@patrickhannon4217]

Well, he's certainly no Graham Norton, but devil's advocate, I don't think Owen or Ben gave him much to work with either, Owen especially, Owen just switched off when he wasn't being talked to, I think both parties could have done better to be fair, at least they kept it cordial

[@KevPage-Witkicker]

Pretty sure the mood was "This guy just loves the sound of his own voice and trying to gently humiliate us... f@ck this guy."@@patrickhannon4217

[@janeleray132]

I think we just saw what a big ego Ben Stiller has. Not funny.

[@KevPage-Witkicker]

Yet in the later Graham Norton interview alongside Ricky Gervais, he comes across as witty, self-deprecating and humble.@@janeleray132

After the charge smatic first astarsky sndf zhutch yhese two looked ridiculous even though they are quite agreable in other roles as both are very good actors

[@christopherpaul7588]

What?? haha! sndf zhutch!!

[@JReinmuth]

There were zero outrageous audition stories in this video

[@user-zj6vd1oy1x]

I need help.how can i speak vith you owen?

[@MikeHawk-er7bx]

Johnathan didn't need to say something so nasty and low brow about Owen Wilson's appearance. Ben stiller certainly felt that Owen's feelings were hurt and made a point to bring attention to himself - good dude

[@user-zj6vd1oy1x]

Now that i will be whit you but i cant wheit any more

[@dixierae3442]

I have had rats and ferrets and they are very much like large rats. The problem with ferrets is they crap like cats with diarrhea and there anal glands give off this powerful musky oder that literally clings to you untill you change your clothes. If you want a pet that is no fuss no muss get a guinea pig ,full of love, don't stink or slther like a snake. Although I do have a fondness for Labs. Well worth living with a forever puppy..😊❤

[@janeleray132]

Ben Stiller can’t stand any one else being funny. Owen Wilson is so much more charismatic.

[@user-zj6vd1oy1x]

[@user-zj6vd1oy1x]

Im afraid that i will lose and this akaoynt

[@owencampbell8799]

Ross is so annoying

[@strats991]

What a low blow to start mocking Owen Wilson for his nose... publicly... repeatedly... and no apology either. Yikes! Pretty sure Mr Ross would not have appreciated Owen Wilson making fun of the mole immediately next to his right eye.

[@steviemac2681]

Mel means honey in Latin, so melifluous = it flows like honey. Smooth and sweet.

​@@steviemac2681Nice! You have the intelligence of the English audience there sir!

[@trisha7162]

Why not interview these actors separatley .They re both on par not a duo

[@Euanhamiltonmusic]

Because they were promoting a movie together

@@Euanhamiltonmusic Sounded more like a promotion on who has the most unusual nose

Owen Wilson the most un funny man ever

[@julianachandler2975]

The worst interviewer, I don’t know why he has a show

[@owenandlightningaremylovev3066]

This looks like an old interview is it because Ben Stiller has gray hair now and the graphics on the camera look old but man is my sweetheart hot! :-) just in case you're wondering who my sweetheart is it's Owen:-)❤ 💍🫶🏼💕 he is hotter his younger brother Luke the only thing that Owen and Luke have in common is there voice:-) 😂
