Stephen Merchant is so clever and quick witted. Just the best. So happy he was on the show.

[@LilithWasFirst]

“If Mick Jagger is the Butler who owns the house”…..😂🤣😂🤣

[@dolphinsnape]

that line killed me XD!!

[@Monika-mh2je]

He's is the perfect example for the British witty ,awkward humor. Thank you .👏

[@karmaoutlaw]

Bravo for having this brilliant fella on your show. More please!

[@iansanders3416]

This is a masterclass in storytelling from Merchant. He makes it easy for the questioner, he makes it engaging for the audience, he knows what stories he's going to tell in advance, and he's worked out that two x three minute funny stories are exactly what the format needs.

[@carizley]

I love Stephen Merchant. He tells such great stories and says them with gusto!

[@FlanaFugue]

The British Office paid for my British house and the American Office paid for my American house. - brilliant 😆(or) - awesome 😁

[@LinkG6C4N]

Stephen is living an episode of a British sitcom with that Mick Jagger story.

[@TheCatBilbo]

That's a great idea: Sir Mick as the Butler...

[@ArunKonanur]

Growing up in London, Ontario, Canada I had a buddy (Phil) who moved to our town from London, England when he was an infant, and who used to tell the story of how, before they were married, his parents would take the train into central London together to get to work, and more often than not, there was this obnoxious guy on the train who kept hitting on my friend's mom, even though it was obvious she was with her boyfriend. Eventually things got to the point where Phil's dad had no choice but to pull the guy aside and beat the crap out of him, which more or less put an end to his overtures. Fast forward a few years and they've moved on to Canada and who should turn up on the television but the same guy from the train - Michael Jagger, and his band The Rolling Stones. Throughout our teenage years and until I lost touch with him sometime in the 80's we always used to introduce him at parties as "this is Phil; his dad beat up Mick Jagger!" 🤣

​@@ArunKonanur "more or LESS put an end to it" haha, so he still did it sometimes eh?

[@michaeljohn1978]

It sounds like an episode of Extras

I've always loved Stephen Merchant. He was absolutely hilarious on Extras and has always been equally funny on every talk show appearance.

[@ek6321]

Stephen Merchant is hilarious. Always a pleasure to watch him.

[@Thomas-dn8dr]

I love that Colbert met him to handshake and stood on the step, and Merchant was still towering over him. Steve Merchant is very very tall.

[@adelaferreira4575]

Yes very tall indeed 7 foot +

[@cabmate2005]

[@egalitarian-rex]

I don’t think there’s any doubt about it, he’s tall and long. When he gets all of his long appendages coordinated, I imagine it all goes off without a hitch.

[@LindaSynovic]

"what if he's got my eyes", "oh, let's not catastrophize". What a beautiful piece of writing - poetic with a magnificently elongated punchline

[@Echo81Rumple83]

that statement could mean ANYTHING, and they "all lead certain death" (as Marvin the Paranoid Android would say) TTwTT

[@adrienpiette6746]

I loved Stephen’s role in Portal 2 as Wheatley

[@hestiathena4917]

He seems to be just as adorkable (though not as overtly idiotic) IRL. He was _perfect!_

[@r.claymccullough890]

I love answering the “What time is your bed time question”. Another one I love is “Are you regular?”

@@leavingitblank9363 As mother got older I would ask her “Are you regular?” It would make her laugh. She would then ask me so I would laugh.

[@leavingitblank9363]

@@r.claymccullough890 It's making me think of Laurence Olivier in "Marathon Man", when he kept asking Dustin Hoffman "Is it safe?" "Are you regular?" would be the perfect code question for a spoof thriller. I can just imagine Jim Carey in the role now...

I can see how this guy created the office. He is genuinely funny.

[@allendracabal0819]

Well, co-created. Ricky Gervais made a significant contribution to it.

[@amandasherlock4035]

I can't believe I've never heard of Stephen Merchant.... I'm going to watch the Outlaws. What a fantastic guy!

[@jennifermeyer704]

The Outlaws is hilarious! Do watch it. 😂

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I could listen to Stephen talk and tell stories for hours. Thank you for this conversation 😂❤

[@Manski_123]

I'd love to hear Mick Jagger's side of that anecdote

[@BuildinWings]

Steve is secretly the brains behind most things you like from Ricky.

[@snr0n]

Absolutely. I was stunned when I found out how unfunny Ricky is on his own! Merchant has always been underappreciated, so I'm glad to see the stretched muppet doing so well these days 😄

[@canadaclaret]

I am excited to hear that there is a season three of Outlaws. It is a great show. Be sure to watch seasons 1 and 2.

[@RosieHarp]

I can smell his adrenaline. He's not usually this hyper or speaking this loud 😆

[@emillion4470]

For an extremely tall human, he's got relatively good posture - he doesn't slouch too much.

[@skiddlybatch]

Merchant is the Larry David of English comedy. Absolute genius.

[@cactaceous]

What?? You could say that maybe about Gervais…

Brilliant. Such talent. Love both Stephens.

His humor slays me! Haven't laughed so much in too long.

[@laurie6123]

The Outlaws is a fun series!

[@waynereardon]

His appearance on Norm McDonald's show was hilarious. He said to Norm something like "you don't have many black people or women on this show" and Norm quickly replied "well yeah, it's supposed to be a comedy show"

[@laalaa99stl]

Mick would probably be willing to buttle for Little Richard, were he still alive. 😁

I can't be the only one who was so invested in his last tale and got whiplash from hearing Donald and Melania. The shorter Stephen also struggled to give a comeback lol

[@etcetraetcetra3173]

See Fallon, this is how a great talk show host is suppose to act when he hears jokes from his guests, laughed but with no or very little sound so not to be picked up by the microphones. Don't laughed and talk loudly. Let your guests be in the spotlight.
