Ricky is a true, inteligent person. I wish more people had his ability to look trough life, a fine observer of surroundings.

[@bbhoody4868]

True, but he's also a bit of a parrot.

[@yezapredruxzen695]

Generation X no he just knows that ppl what him to be comedic in a certain way

[@richardgullick1867]

I must remember to thank him

[@elleeme9451]

One time I was depressed and I sent a message into Steve's radio show. He said to me "you must not give up". He said it with such strength and positivity that I thought yes, I must not give up. I must brush myself off, pick myself up and go onwards. I always loved Steve's positive attitude.

[@Steven_A_Lomas]

I LOVE Ricky Gervais. He's one of my heroes! I liked the man interviewing him too! Great interview! Just my opinion.

[@taras6806]

It's the wonderful Steve Allen, usually on LBC 97.3 from 4 in the morning, live, Monday to Friday, The only LBC presenter who provides light relief without any phone-ins.

[@davidedwards4569]

Tara absolutely. Well said 👏 he's brilliant

[@taras6806]

Two of my all-time superintelligent heroes together. Bliss!

[@PJANGELES30]

ha ha, two morons more like

[@stevegreen9460]

Thanks ricky, you have brought some real happyness to so many thought are David.

[@videocurios]

Love Steve Allen & Ricky Gervaise. They ought to do a radio show together.

[@Beetrecca]

I love Ricky. Genuine bloke.

[@larryguilfoyle5731]

Steve Allen is a gas on Sunday morning radio , so funny , Ricky is a genius comedien

[@bluehorizon9435]

A really insightful interview. Ricky seems very grounded and wise about showbusiness

[@909rhythm]

Steve allens shirt ....how groovy !!!

[@adam01101]

What a great chat

[@gingerbill128]

never seen the interviewer before but I thought he was really good.

[@DanRobards]

Steve Allen. I would highly recommend his podcast!

[@aidanmolloy6675]

He does a radio show on lbc from 4am until 7. Its brilliant

[@8563robbie]

Foregone Conclusion is a fantastic band

[@lynnsmithershubbard1896]

This is 2020 and this interview was magically recommended to me. If you haven't seen this David Brent movie--do!!! I have loved most of Ricky's stand up comedy and , of course, The Office! I prefer the Brit version, although I also enjoyed the American--but the American version just didn't have Ricky Gervais!!!

[@karinaandersen2618]

I have had my knee replaced a lot of pain but after 5 years I can bend at the knee

[@albates8130]

just goes to show that there is no such thing as bad publicity, given that the horrendous Steve Allen has previously slagged off Gervais on his crap radio show. but hey, exposure is exposure is exposure to these egomaniacs.

[@RitchieRosson]

Ha! Doesn't surprise me. Steve Allen for me is the only person on LBC that I can't stand. His show is nothing but insulting celebrities and mainly for their looks. Then when he does these interviews he kisses their arses.

[@albates8130]

+Ritchie Rosson totally agree.

[@SlickStitch]

Trolling isn't bullying. It's a fun tease. Anyone that pushes it to racism or hate speech or any form of bullying is not trolling. Trolling is closer to a fun prank than it is to bullying.

[@politure]

lol

[@sosdotgold8442]

Please bring back Steve Allen.

[@mischa129]

Steve’s LBC show is just fantastic! Highly Recommend!

[@stevegreen9460]

be great to have a serires where david fines some success in busking on the streets. Would be a great back drop for so many strange people to come and go meeting david brent as hes hanging round the streets.

[@Gabriel-se9el]

Steve is more ricky gervais then ricky gervais

[@Jsaville33]

Love them both - BOGOF!

[@Cinzano296]

I think Ricky should try to be the voice of an anti reality show campaign, he explains it so well , maybe people who watch them would finally realise what's happening to the world and we could all stand together and boycott the whole industry

[@geoffjoffy]

Interesting.

[@taboo1459]

I'm dealing with a real life troll atm, "supervisor"... Coping ideas welcome?

[@gman210977]

Once again, same answers to the questions almost word for word. Or have I watched this before?

[@KameariKillScreen]

Yes, a bit of the same press package, but that is, I think, normal when you promote something.

[@adamweishaupt2846]

How differently do you expect somebody to answer the same questions about the same subject?

[@LisaSimpson2]

LOL yeah exactly what I was going to say - surely it's a GOOD and HONEST thing if he answers the same way for the exact same question in every interview? That just shows consistency and honesty. I'd only be annoyed or worried if he was saying two completely different things for the exact same question. There's nothing false here. I think he been very sincere in all his interviews :-)

[@WARTV-dn5fk]

No, trolling is SELF-LOVE not self-hatred, "I'm JUST as important as you and have every right to bring you down you jumped-up arrogant successful people!".

[@markw1413]

Steve talks like a child and has a limited vocabulary. He seems clumsy and out of his league.

[@karinaandersen2618]

Mr Gervais will you be my pen pal?

[@emrac.7404]

Imagine if David Brent meets Derek

[@karinaandersen2618]

always follow your dream, Florence Foster Jenkins

[@tezzah2222]

I'm sure you've worked hard, definitely sure. Please don't get political though, your just an actor and your opinion is practically useless. Still love most you do xx

[@stephenellis2866]

Love Steve Allen looks like he’s on his last legs

[@ivahadenuff9080]

he d be flat on his back if I had my way. pinned to the bed screaming for more

[@liammcnulty1987]

@@ivahadenuff9080 weirdo

[@moogmike1]

Hopefully

[@AnnaMariaKonova]

Is the host "Cristo" ? sounds like him

[@thegrowl2210]

No, it's Steve Allen. Cristo only does the show at 1AM on Fridays, and Saturdays.

[@moobengy]

Couldn't the sequel be Brent actually becoming a pop star? All his dreams come true. Maybe he could find out that it's not what he hoped, but........

[@moobengy]

Could he and Pauline (Jo Hartley) become a double act? Peter Andre and the boys could do the warm up for their first O2 gig....................I'm starting an online petition!

[@moobengy]

True enough. I was imagining the success film being played straight for a dramatic change in style. I'm sure there'l be no sequel.

[@savagetop10s63]

Wouldnt it be good if Brent went on loads of reality tv shows and got through and on tv again lol

[@karinaandersen2618]

the pit for me with garbage media, reality tv

[@badfreddytube]

The real humour in David Brent: Life on the Road is that the music industry has become a fantasy now. All bands have the same delusion, successful or not. Adele won, go home. ha

[@arthurpendragon1560]

Ricky gervais speaks to Fatboy Dim

[@fenixfp40]

It really is time LBC retired Steve Allen.

[@274727]

10:32 Celebrity enema. 🤗 👉 💩

[@PaulsJournal]

Trolls get their own newspaper column? Is that a little dig at Milo Yiannopoulos there, Ricky?

[@rahulkemp6489]

No, I think it was a dig at Katie Hopkins...which is especially clever of Ricky cos as well as getting her own newspaper column she also has an LBC show!

[@liammcnulty1987]

Oh, no, he has Trump Derangement Syndrome.

[@kierantuck9]

Ricky has the same cookie cutter answers for every interview he has done about Life on the Road lol

[@amct1019]

The same question should warrant the same answer.

[@LisaSimpson2]

Gets asked an honest question > gives an honest answer. What's wrong with that? Of course he's going give the same answer for every interview... if they ask the same questions. If his answer was different each time for the same question then I'd be worried. I don't think he's being false just honest :-)

[@bbhoody4868]

AMCT 101 No, sorry. Ricky brings up the same stories every chance he gets. Pissing in the sink? There's countless examples of him being a parrot. I'm a fan btw....just in case you tell me to "stop watching"

[@irelandcitizen531]

where's smerch? lol

[@jupitorious7925]

The film is complete rubbish...
