Billy Connolly

[@gracefulangels]

Billy carries this interview all the way...he is fantastic. I wish he could live forever!

[@davetherave28]

I love him ! I’m forever thankful that despite my parents and grandparents (generally) being no fan of swearing in their houses, They loved Billy and his humour so much that he’d often get put on the box- & they’d be reduced to tears laughing at all of his stories. I grew up listening to his stand up routines, his world tour of Scotland and all the tv specials. It’s daft but it’s like he’s a member of the family, Never met him but he’s such a part of the fabric of our evenings in front of the tv. The tapes are all played to near-destruction and I know the content off by heart, But his telling of it is absolutely unique- No matter how many hundreds of times they’ve been viewed, I still howl with laughter. I will never tire of watching them.

[@wryter93]

I LOVE BILLY!! Been watching him since the 80's. Yes, I do really love his work and the way he views life. He pushes the envelope, love it! I'm impatient for a new CD~!

[@PDHulme61]

We salute you Billy Connolly - the greatest comedian of all time ! ********PdH

[@jessydaytime]

I took my husband to see him on is B Day. We loved the show.

[@euan8117]

He is a Legend in the Comedy world

[@SiliconBong]

I used to watch Billy Connelly on a television that was smaller than the computer moniter i'm using now. *tokes and gets beyond words*

[@nogert]

he has a very uplifting aura, i think it's because he always seems happy :)

[@karenball]

mark7507 It was a Canadian interviewer and a brilliant one at that.PLEASE never mistake us for Americans.We do get Billy Connolly and he is funny as hell

[@wryter93]

I've been watching Billy for over 20 years! THE BEST comedian... a legend! I'm waiting for him to be knighted! (Though, knowing Billy, he wouldn't think much of it)

[@Atomicgherkin]

"Poet and comedians are there to say the unsayable" Very true.

[@Sorcoral]

if only the interview was longer

[@Link512]

i think billy connolly and george carlin are the two great kings of comedy

[@TheEedjit]

Big yin is like another way of saying mate certainly how we use it in Glasgow.

[@Moosaroo]

The funniest man on the planet

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

I've got the 2nd best job in the world! I get paid to impersonate BILLY!! I do a stand-up show with stories from my rock band past, banjo and gags old and new!

[@SiliconBong]

I'm glad they got his nationality right, he's not english, he's Scottish YaY I'm also thrilled he mentions a New Zealand city: Dunedin :) And the bleeping does offend me too, freekicking85. Have a nice day !

[@donnaphilben6325]

SiliconBong some people think that everybody from the UK is English. LOL

[@geoffpriestley7001]

I lived in dunedin he spot on its right

[@14razer14]

billy rules i own all his stand ups

[@anne241163]

Same birthday as me??? Happy birthday to us!

[@SiliconBong]

You are the coolest person in the world. I have never heard *any one* say they love dunedin in my entire life. (maybe because I live close to Dunedin, hmmm;that may have something to do with it : LOL )

[@Lord_Flash94]

have you read the first biography by Pam? He definitely didn't used to be a happy person, but think he's mainly dealt with it by now He's actually my hero

[@The8thDOCTOR]

i would love to hear Bill's thoughts on Bill O'Reilly

[@leelindsay3705]

Aye.. holy water; nearly died

[@ytconvert]

@zeppirl he doesnt drink, have y read his biographies? they are very good

[@jkzl1008]

I love how the bleep hits more of the -dreary- than the -fuckin- Ha ha!

[@Lord_Flash94]

You just hit the nail there, sir :) If I'm sad I listen to him and an hour later I'm shitting rainbows

[@ancestralblue]

Connoly is GREAT!!!

[@VoodooChileJ11]

Keith Richards, and he did

[@PopeKurt]

No part 2?

[@andiejanefisher]

Love the way they bleeped out "dreary" but not "fucking"

[@longbendy81]

Billy would be beeped on a daytime show in the UK. However, evening in the UK is very different. Mainstream channels can have pretty much everything (and to be fait have always had) Fuck first said on daytime TV by John Lydon in 1976 (who was the second to say the "C" word on a Jungle reality TV programme 30 years later) ALl mainstream TV. Billy has always sworn like a trooper, but I have never found it offensive. LIke he says in the interview, it's all about intent

[@thepunisher089]

Funniest man alive...

[@563421094]

I think Billy was a town cryer in a previous life............

[@chrisg1947]

too true mate

[@mehercle100]

Possibly true , but tell that to the judge when it's an aggravating circumstance to whatever crime you might have committed .

13:07 Sunshine !

[@SiliconBong]

That's ok. *gives you double handful of weed* "Just drop it on the vapouriser"

[@LibertyAtYourService]

@fuzil8 Christ. Billy KNOWS its not a Mexican word. Its a JOKE. He's a COMEDIAN. That's what he DOES. JESSSSUUSSSS!!!!

[@BloggerMusicMan]

@jaffax1 I don't think he's dull, but when you put anyone next to Billy Connolly, they look pretty dull by comparisson.

[@flyscreen99]

billy turns a crap interview into something worth watchin

[@supervillainJ]

quick note yin is pronounced "yeen"

[@Lancion]

This was two years ago, its pretty slack now. I hear a lot of f bombs on tv now. Im not sure if something happened recently that its like 'ok to do' now.

[@ProtestantIRA]

He forgot about Boondock Saints!

[@SiliconBong]

LoL

[@livemoonbday]

lucky i dont have a tub.... oh i mean a tube

[@strackmfc]

lol nah have u ever came to scotland? u'd be having a runny nose after a while coz of the weather ;)

[@iamdeathmarine]

whats the firs best job in teh world?

[@sonortubelug]

who's the yank.

[@andyscott6315]

why hasn't he kept this look

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

Why hasn't he kept this look? Good question, my friend. The first and foremost reason is that 1. An actor has to change his look for the rôle. 2. Like most...well like all of the rest of us he likes to change his appearance occasionally. 3. Like everyone else on the planet.....he is gettin' fuckin' auld! Love, Peace and Light! X

[@alanastone5241]

he has got Alzheimer's now

[@OrganMusicYT]

The biggest thing to come from Scotland? Er, try TV, the phone, inflatable tyre's, tarmac, penicillin, radar......the list goes on. No disrespect to Billy!

[@Stringprodigy]

He's less dull than you.

[@hawjhawj68]

Billy Connolly! Now, bleeping out the word "fuck" on Canadian television? What? I thought Canadian telly was so much more lassez-faire, compared with U.S. telly? I don't get it? Maybe because it aired at an early hour of the day or something?

[@alanastone5241]

hawjhawj68 laissez faire*

[@livardo]

What exactly did you object to? Or had you already made your mind up about the interview due to your presumptions and hatred for America? George is a masterful interviewer, check out other videos. (This is a Canadian show by the way)

[@korkiwi]

@barnesinger It is wrong to ask people to go and watch your sons videos. If you want views let the people come on their own. What you just did was try to advertise a video through another videos comments, and people do not like that.

[@rugbyanden]

Peter Popoff though

[@korkiwi]

Whats the point of censoring curse words when estimating 95% of people know what word was censored.

[@SiliconBong]

umm, Y.

[@mehercle100]

Who could possibly find his , or your , comments "sectarian" ? I must clearly be misunderstanding these humanitarian statements . Thank you for your kind wishes for me to "get well soon" from my"sad" condition of Presbyterianism . How could anyone misconstrue such philanthropic generosity with sectarian bile ? I am truly mystified !

[@Soladrin]

why do people bother cencoring billy?

[@alanastone5241]

Soladrin censoring*

[@spikeykiwi01]

Oh dear, there is nothing worse than listening some random yank talk about a classic international comedian. His interview technique is feckin painful.

[@leeBwatson]

lasted bout 30 seconds .................u can't bleep out the swearing!!! pointless watch................pointless post................some people!

[@mehercle100]

I notice that he doesn't come out with his sectarian bile about Scottish Presbyterians when he's actually in Scotland and 3/4 of the population might be a tad offended . How brave and "transgressive" !

[@freekicking85]

Whats the point in the bleeping, im more offended when they bleep than when they swear.

[@squigglycircle]

It's funny though when they do it wrong like at 1:53, they're bleeping dr**ry instead of the other word.

[@johntuohy]

at 8:35 on, he makes a joke about Ernest Ainsley being the one that performs "murkles" rather than miracles. Granted it's not a terribly hilarious joke, Strombo completely misses it and assumes that Billy is trying to explain who Ainsley is. That just sticks out to me. Overall I think that Strombo is just useless interviewer, Billy could more or less do the whole bit by himself, and this prick seems to just interfere with his useless tid bits.

[@247dexter247]

Notice the way he snifs, and wipes his nose near the end....... cocaine, i suppose you need at least that much to make it though a shitty interview before crumbling....
