Tv burp was phenomenal. Wish it was still going.

[@RosieHarp]

I saw Harry Hill in a small venue early in his stand up career. It was the funniest comedy show I'd ever seen before or since.

[@Studeb]

Rare to see him serious. I do miss TV Burp.

[@samuelgarrod8327]

You mean (looks to left) Series' ❤

[@sharpvidtube]

Me too, TV Burp was better than what was actually on the TV.

[@scottycrayon]

Funeral count with Rob Brydon 😂😂😂

[@henrygibson9107]

Great conversation. Wish Harry was on tv more, I feel like he's very underrated.

[@daxconnell7661]

he is on the Jr British Bakeoff or was. the seasons i watched he was

[@nagualdesign]

Why do you feel like he's underrated?

[@Whiplashed]

@@nagualdesign Everyone is underrated on YT

[@nagualdesign]

@@Whiplashed Certainly seems that way. ☺️

[@samuelgarrod8327]

It's entirely subjective though. I don't think he is. He's one of my favourites but a lot of people don't appreciate his sense of humour. I don't like Peter Kay but apparently I'm in the minority. That's fine. It's not about ratings. Under or over. ❤ ❤❤

[@generichuman2044]

What I enjoy about Harry is that even when I don't find him funny, I still find him charming and loveable. Just a down to earth person

[@cmmooney564]

TV Burp used to have me laughing so much on Saturday teatimes and I really miss it, nice to see the man himself is still going strong. I liked the Harry Hill Movie too.

[@multipl3]

Only thing hes funny in sadly

[@sharpvidtube]

@@multipl3 I find him funny all the time, but mostly because he's not like other comedians.

[@RoryTeeV]

@@sharpvidtube agreed!

[@chrislewis7]

Saw Harry Hill at Glastonbury in early 90s not knowing who he was. One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The act jumping here and there, recurring jokes. "Mastermind, black pegs, white pegs what was that all about? "

[@killkenny3720]

Rob, you're a great interviewer. You listen and let your guests tell their stories, whilst also leading the direction and sharing stories and information yourself. Extremely enjoyable to watch.

[@simonsaysrewind]

Harry Hill is the only celebrity I got a selfie with. Great guy. 👍

[@Lones555]

did you carry him out a venue to "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"?

[@ddtk85]

I’m sure the rest of them are devastated

[@danielwoodhouse5531]

Bring back The TV Burp Then I might turn my TV around the right way

[@gentleken7864]

For some reason.... 'Chance will be a fine thing Promises promises and Relax' Is something I'll always remember....

[@LeedsInAHat]

I’ll always remember you in a minute…

[@beemoh]

That's how I remember them- gotta have a system!

[@coldwhite4240]

I remember that skit. Was that Harry with 'Finsbury Park'?

[@SCLOUD3112]

18:15 - What a kind and generous thing to say about the gig you went to Rob - it obviously made Harry's day :-)

[@the_trooper_72]

Love Harry's Sense of humor.. He's a total legend!! 😎👌🏻 Thanks! 👍🏻😉

[@XoXo475]

One of the funniest men I have ever seen . He used to have me in tears 😂

[@usernametube1]

With Harry Hill!

[@ryiin]

I love Harry Hill. He's brilliant.

[@Fantasmister]

I do, in fact, like the lining.

[@almorrison9110]

...it excites

[@SosasCountrysideMeditations]

I saw him do stand up in London in the late 90’s, I had taken acid 30 minutes before unaware of where I was going. I thought I’d die of laughter and confusion, I didn’t.

[@bazza5699]

lol @ i didn't. glad you added that.

[@rootpotato]

You've gotta have a system!

[@RosieHarp]

Great interview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@joelwilliams9636]

Saw Harry Hill last year doing stand up, hope I get to see him again!

[@bedojames]

Wish tv burp was back, soaps and tv not same without his take. Rob my most watched dvds are Tv Burp and Director's Commentary. PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE. Would I lie to you or Wilty to us fans

[@sharpvidtube]

I don't watch much TV now, but when I do, I think of the bits that would've been on TV Burp.

[@Big.Joe.Grizzly]

The man has barely aged if anything he looks even younger here

[@sharpvidtube]

Doctors save the best Botox for themselves.

[@speakatron5634]

Harry Hill, an absolute legend of the game.

[@ricksterk7014]

Probably my favourite guest yet. He is brilliant 😊

[@anthonysteinberg7270]

Just noticed how Harry Hill sounds like he’s a Harry Enfield character LOL 😂

[@relocatetoItaly]

What a funny chat, I laughed throughout. Rob and Harry riff on each other so well.

[@mickylove76]

He’s a surrealist inspiration. Just like Vic reeves. Hes unashamedly fun.

[@Joshnpk]

Love Harry Hill

[@AndrewJohnClive]

Two of the best!❤❤❤

[@nineteen8486]

Very under rated … comedy legend

[@nagualdesign]

Isn't that an oxymoron?

[@donnymcbride5069]

Been binging these and a new one pops up! Cheers, Rob

[@roseybut]

Brilliant! Thanks Rob.

[@swampthing20]

His Saturday Live appearances completely hooked me back in 1996, a great vehicle for him to do his call back lines each week and I still watch them today. Six perfect performances full of energy and unique delivery, and bloody hilarious. What a great guy.

[@alexmousley7213]

Fabulous interview- totally lovely guys appearing to be just having a chat, such is the skill of Rob, and hearing Harry chat as himself about his zany style of comedy is a treat.

[@jans1972]

Enjoyed the interview and thank you for reminding me about the Catherine Howes song Harry!! Good luck with the musical

[@Omegaspeedmaster69]

Some of his jokes on you've been framed were hilarious.Especially over at john barrowmans house.....or phil Schofields,to keep it up to date.

[@nickmoranis2865]

Oh to be famous! My cab drivers just go on about ‘the coloureds’.

[@thehammer9599]

No they don’t, you’re just virtue signalling.

[@insulartomb]

your cab drivers are white?!

[@daxconnell7661]

thank you Rob for your in depth conversations with people that i've come to know through time and discovering various British tv shows on KZbin and elsewhere. have to chat with Greg Davies and get on Taskmaster. i think you'd have a blast on the show. cheers from Canada

[@theelvisguru9490]

I met the bloke who’s dad banged the pipes on knock three times!

[@njparkin5894]

Great interview!

[@robynbetteridge]

Great fun interview 😊

[@JigjagjugXyz]

19:32 I didn't see that one coming.

[@bazza5699]

love harry.. the mash:chop ratio joke will always be my favourite..

[@DMMJBSM]

Brilliant interview.

[@DMMJBSM]

Oh, & very Funny

[@VinnyCS256]

Rob and Harry Talking Fun

[@johnh2912]

Saw I Can't Sing 4 times. It was good. And look where Cynthia is now!!! 😀

[@StephShrubb]

Loved his HIGNFY the other week.

[@marmoset3]

Very enjoyable

[@Winter-CIG]

I swear Harry Hill never ages.

[@richarddavies6983]

Saw Harry in cardiff, think it was 03. At one point he had a guy dressed up i think as a sailor walk down the isle in overly dramatised hysterics to what was an anticlimactic joke. I laughed so much i had to leg it to the toilet but there was a big que. In a panic and leaking i ran outside, across the road into a hotel car park to pee and i found myself leaning up against a Mercedes benz with Hill on the number plate 🤷🏻‍♂️Full circle eh.

[@darktimes6279]

I actually went to see ‘I Can’t Sing’ and it was absolutely hilarious.

[@lucymayes4937]

Dear Mr Brydon love you and harry hill not enough of you both on telly. I have a question to ask you please. I have had an ongoing discussion with my friend for years now about an episode of only fools and horses. Was it you doing a tribute of David Bowie in the pub or not. I say it was she says it’s not you. We only get a few glimpses so it kinda hard to tell. Please let us Finally Know thanks

[@Alex-mj5dv]

GBnR’s old studio! Now I know why Rob did their intro before !

[@WhiteSleevedStu]

Podcast interview of the weeeeeeek

[@douglasmilton2805]

Blue for salt and vinegar, green for cheese and onion, come on Walker’s, sort it out!

[@richards2920]

Who Knew that a Chap between Blumenthal and AP McCoy could be so entertaining

[@coffeeguy6673]

I'd love Rob to interview some of his guests as Uncle Bryn, I for one would love that !! 😁

[@SamMcDonald83]

Nice to see him taking a break from hosting Master Chef

[@user-pg4nv5nh7e]

Matthew looks well. Probably just as well that I didn't manage to convince him to stay being a doctor when his mum asked me to.

[@freqeist]

Harry's got a new program in the make...its called Funeral watch

[@less6301]

oggy oggy oggy!

[@TheStevenWhiting]

TV Burp turned out to just be a bigger version of In Bed with Medinner. In Bed with Medinner was great and under rated, was because LWT stupidly put it on late at night.

[@OOK11]

Chippy chips x

[@peteredwards7760]

A musical about a war criminal ?" Spring Time for Blair " ?

[@jamesthorley4442]

Why did TV Burp ever stop?????? 😢

[@oneworldfamily]

Anyone here got good eyes and can tell us what's written on the back of Harry's hand?

[@sharpvidtube]

Looks like Bouble, a river in France.

[@tensevo]

4...it's not looking like 12 is it!

[@jakeriese4862]

Ok

[@DKGCustom]

Thomas Dolby has let himself go

[@TheStevenWhiting]

"No one ever argues with Simon" shows the mentality of him then. You're the lowest of the low if you don't allow people to argue or have opinions that are different to your own. Some would call that a dictatorships.

[@marywood8794]

I've never seen Harry not in the dark suit with the crazy collar thing! Maybe we'll get the real him instead of the stage persona!

[@Paul-lf1bq]

Hill Harry T

[@russjones4034]

Hey Rob, I know that no one but you could pull this off, can you possibly have Bernard Manning as a special out of this world guest. Fingers crossed. PS: I bet Lee Mack could pull it off.

[@dcworld1076]

harry in a normal shirt? what is this

[@julianbeesley5059]

For some reason I really fancy a boiled egg for me tea

[@RosieHarp]

Geeezuz are you 7 years old? 😆👎

[@david-reason]

Ronnie Corbett has died! Rob/Harry you could have broken the news better. OK, I live in Bangkok, perhaps that's why I missed the announcement . . . Sad news.

[@thecookreporting]

so this is the song he uses for exiting his shows kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZrWen2eiZuSsLM

[@johng7423]

Simon says, jesus christ simon cowells a sad dwad isnt he.

[@Paul-Genge]

What is written on Harrys hand? Double? Trouble? There is only one way to find out.........................."FIGHR!!!!!!"

[@ehamster]

Bouble, he’s a fan of Canadian Christmas singers.

[@iainlodge1731]

He's quite low energy isn't he

[@less6301]

be still my beating heart not much of a reaction to that one believe it or not the french kiss they may have some sense for all his faults partridge is never out of control mentally or physically the beauty of my system is i don't know them

[@johnmc3862]

Don’t recognise him without the collar.

[@comicstripgamer1591]

Not the best podcast... really... FIGHT....

[@andrewrodigan7102]

Harry Hill, cornering the market on prepubescent humour. Struggle to believe somebody paid him to do a movie.

[@roztornatore5259]

i absolutely cannot stand harry hill. especially on the junior baking show. there must be a difference between english and american humor. he is totally not funny. he is annoying to the children and totally irrelevant.

[@rian202003]

Love Harry Hill
