Jimmy Carr Got BANNED From The One Show | Russell Howard's Wonderbox

[@Jeremiah12thLvlGeek]

I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy as a child, when my family visited Epcot Centre where he was built.

[@rebelion160]

Sorry to hear that

[@bigsmackisback2052]

[@leightonmilton5162]

I had the opportunity to meet Jimmy Carr in the interval of his own show and it he surprisingly nice. I went to his standup show solo, sat in the front row and he heckled me in the front row, something porn related and I said I didn’t understand when he pointed his finger at me as I didn’t want to be associated with porn in the front row of a Jimmy Carr show 😅 In his interval you can message a number and he comes and interacts with that in the second half. I asked if I could meet him as I’m an aspiring comedian with a disability and I need some advice. Couple of minutes later his stage manager came and grab me said Jimmy would like to meet me. We spoke in his dressing for a couple of minutes about standup and just keep applying myself and using my disability as it’s advantage to stand out. Took a photo and went and sat back in the front row astonished with what just happened. Thank you Jimmy, you was so warm and kind.

[@lfcbpro]

Study the greats, I'm sure you know, but your disability won't stop you being great, if you can write a good joke :) Good luck my man, hope to see you on here one day too :)))

[@alveolate]

anyone who can laugh like jimmy does and have everyone laugh along has gotta be empathetic.

[@bluebehir]

I have no idea what your disability is, and I have no idea how much of this is on the internet, but study Steddy Eddie. The most successful disabled comedian I've seen in my lifetime. But he was Aussie, so his exposure was low. (Like I said, no internet.) But he got it *right*.

[@theTeknoViking]

Lovely experience. Best of luck with your goals mate! :)

Man, I remember watching Steady Eddy all the time as a kid. Funny as fuck.

[@alexmousley7213]

Great interview- I love these peeks into the real person behind the comedian. Most comedians have an intelligence and understanding about human nature that is way deeper than the persona they invent- I love the fact the Jimmy is actually an empathetic nice guy when not being his stand up self!

[@TaureanTrish]

The more I learn about Jimmy Carr, the more I admire him. Great interview Russell. 🤩

[@alistairmscott]

I met Jimmy Carr once when i was a prize winner to attend a Liecester Square movie premiere. He was on the red carpet and came over and chatted to everyone. He was lovely. There ws a little girl there who obviously didn't know who he was other than someone famous and he knelt down and signed her autograph book for her and took a photo. He was very very good with her and her parents. Down to earth, warm and chatty, no ego. Very decent.

[@spfisterer3651]

Love Jimmy Carr when he's in a conversation with someone... He's a lot more down to earth and relaxed than when he's on stage.

[@anderskardahl1166]

[@vladtheimpala457]

My friend's Dad, Andy, met Jimmy Carr in Las Vegas about ten years ago. Andy never had a nice word to say about anybody, had no clue who the hell Jimmy Carr was, yet raved about this "lovely British guy" for days after.

[@j.b.abraham4175]

You both are great comedians, and I very much enjoy watching your sets, respectively, as well as just being authentic, as Jimmy put it. I think people have become afraid of authenticity because then they have to show their true self, flaws, and all. Rather than being able to look at each other in the face and have an actual conversation, it's more about dodging truth and reality, it feels like.

[@exoterric]

[@HeadbutKneecap]

I met jimmy a few years ago briefly during Mardi Gras in Australia. I was filming something with some friends when I looked over and saw a ventriloquist dummy wearing some sort of summery dress shirt. When I realised it was him I yelled “that’s fucking jimmy carr” and startled him a little bit. He was very sweet but was in a rush and didn’t have much time but I could tell he was a genuine and sweet guy

Its funny to think that one of the really great things about (and I can't stress this word enough) certain ends of ticktok is also the authenticity. A lot of mental health, addressing toxic family's, and positively sharing snippets of cultural and spiritual life from all over the world, you know the kind of shit that is realy hard to explain but easy to automatically upload in a way thst KZbin is a bit obstinant about, it does really well.

[@BadgerOff32]

THANK YOU! Someone finally mentioned it! I HATE the way people talk on TV! It's one of the main reasons I stopped watching TV years ago. It's always this 'fluffy', almost patronizing way of speaking that just sounds fake, and a little bit insulting. No-one in real life talks like people on TV do. It's so off-putting! It feels like I'm being talked down to, like I'm a child or an idiot. Or both. And God forbid if you ever swear on live TV! The presenters are practically forced to turn to the camera and say "We're sorry for any bad language you may have heard there", like we're all children who shouldn't be hearing the bad no-no words. Swear words are often part of normal conversation for most adults (unless you're a prude), so half the time, I don't even notice that someone has sworn on TV until the presenters _go out of their way to draw attention to it_ by explicitly apologizing about it! Just.....move on. Don't even acknowledge that it happened and people probably won't even notice!

[@jblyon2]

It's so nice to know that someone who you might assume to be a bit of a dick is actually a really nice person. Sadly with celebrities it's usually the opposite. Someone who you think would be just a lovely person is downright nasty to everyone around them. I know Jimmy suffers from anxiety, and the harsh comedy could very well be a coping mechanism he developed to try and deal with it, while happening to be very charismatic and legitimately funny. I have my own anxiety issues and my #1 coping mechanism around other people is comedy...or poor attempts at it anyway.

[@melonycrumpet]

On the subject of 'being yourself, I currently live in Ireland and I've had a couple of occasions where someone's said 'Oooooh, you can't say that...' I generally reply "Yes I can, under the constitution I've freedom of expression and unless it's inflammatory, incitement or slander, I can say whatever the fuck I like." - Generally it shuts them the fuck up. Jimmy is one of the deepest thinking comedians. I love his maxim "The sound I love most after a joke is 'Ha ha ha... Oooooh' - when the audience laugh then suddenly think 'Oh, should I laugh at that?' "

[@littlelifters7543]

It was a great show.

[@MrLtia1234]

Jimmy is a really good interview guest. I'd watch anything where his name comes up. There's a slight bit of fakery when he presents himself as risqué, when he's one of the most mainstream comedians out there. He would have been risqué in the 80s, but not now! Pretending he's likely to be 'cancelled' to a stadium full of people shows how bizarre social media has made us all. Easy to categorise him as less risqué than Russell Howard, but nowhere near as middle of the road as Michael McIntyre. But there's also something real and sincere in his act, even though it's essentially a bunch of gags. He's a brilliant stand up, and that's why he's so mainstream.

[@johnleney9541]

At the end Jimmy says something along the lines that a stand-up's on-stage persona is an act, but that there is some "leakage" of their reality into that act. I think that is true and that it does colour audiences' enjoyment of their performances

[@ConorDrew]

Heard this thing the other day, which touches on what Jimmy was saying about attention span, we havent changed, if there is a short video, lets say a podcast is talking about something, and there is a video under it, which has someone cutting foam, its not because we have changed, we have always sat down, and looked around as we talk, if you sit under a tree with a friend, you will watch the birds as you talk, or watch the trees sway, nothing has changed, we are just more a wear

[@CyPhaSaRin]

always saying we miss seeing you on panel shows russ, we're always rewatching big fats, cats, or qi's with ya

[@artursandwich1974]

I always say we live in sad times (or that people just hypocrites) as all a standup comedian needs to do to get laughs is tell the truth and/or revert to the lowest feelings in humans. People will laugh, not at a joke but at "I can't believe he had the courage to say that", as they're so used to lying about almost everything.

[@kelvynification]

[@BigSteve_Gaming187]

People have been levitating towards comedians for their opinions and their take on world events, I feel, because the regular news is so fixed on sides instead of being in the objective middle except when understandably the occasional morally wrong situations. I try and avoid drowning in the negativity. Not to say we shouldn't worry about certain things, but we have enough negativity on social media platforms.

I'm over here in the USA (Alaska to be exact) and I totally agree with what you were saying about lack of authenticity. Thank christ for KZbin, Acorn, and Britbox. I've completely given up on just about every form of media in the US and have been watching nothing but British comedy and shows since pre-pandemic. And now that I'm used to British methods and standards, the content coming out of a great majority of the US is just flat out garbage. Unauthentic "look at me I moved to Hollywood to be an actor because I'm young and pretty" just fucking nonsense. So, thanks to Jimmy and Russell -- and all the rest. Keep up the fantastic work.

The origins of the Espresso Martini was slightly wrong... The drink was invented at Soho Brasserie, a swanky London club, in the early 1980s (probably ’83). It was at the behest of a young fashion model, so the legend goes. Eager to keep her night alive, she famously asked a bartender, in so many words, for a cocktail that could stimulate, then inebriate, all in one. That bartender was Dick Bradsell, an iconic figure who presided over the London cocktail scene for decades and helped disrupt the reign of the city’s pub culture. Soho Brasserie had recently gotten an espresso machine installed. So Bradsell served her vodka, coffee liqueur, sugar, and a freshly pulled shot from the new machine, shaken over ice and fitted into a sultry martini glass.

[@pm-5565]

A decent joke told with belief can become hilarious, most material told by standup comedians is fabricated but there's also many of those most that are weaved from truths too. To me it's not about the content of a joke or a bit it's about the meaning and how much I can relate to them or even relate to them to real facts and events, those are a sure way to get enough people laughing in an honest instinctive way. Beauty of it is there is no right or wrong, there is no best comedian ever because comedy is subjective, you can argue best performer or even best show from a more objective way but I for example still end up in stitches with George Carlin even though I've watched his standups and re-watched god knows how many times but I don't know other people to share that with, sure there's enough to be found here on the internet, and it's understandable that it's not for everyone, tho I also love the more brutal jokes where the witty dark humor takes center stage. The best comedians to ever perform all tend to share a common ground, it being they just did their thing, despite time changes and trends alongside them they carried on being true to themselves because the Jimmy Carr you see on stage is not him but merely a part of him that is deep and personal to the point that it's quite obvious that there's raw truth behind the performance even with all it's theatrics and embellishments you are still getting something that is very much rooted in honesty, the content may change to be more topical but the core of his comedy style and his approach doesn't regardless of the nature of said content. His success, both of theirs in fact, in comedy is no accident, he understands what it's meant to be well. Laughter is therapeutic, both to hear and express as well as to provoke it, thus the urge to make people around you laugh is more often than not a defense mechanism by people that are to some extent broken in one way or another, helping yourself by helping others if you will and that in itself also has a beautiful honesty to it. If your motives are shallow there's no reason to be surprised if you eventually fall flat and at the end of the day whether it's short jokes or long bits it's still a form of storytelling, if you don't have much to tell you'll quickly run out of people that are willing to listen, and that's specially the case for podcasts and that's why it's no surprise that when good real comedians jump on the format these perform well enough, because they have a chance to be far more honest while still have that itch to be funny and entertaining even when talking about insightful and introspective things. The real beauty of not being directly tied to the entertainment industry is this freedom to be as themselves as they want outside of their main body of work, a real blessing for those of us who are willing to stay a while and listen.

[@zanderman2009]

the formality that you were talking about is why I like glaswegians - not english students, actual glaswegians, preferably from anywhere east of duke street. they talk to anyone and only use their phone voice when they need to. its a shame so many replace it with a soulless, non regional dialect where you cant tell where they're from. it has so little character and feels like I'm talking to a call centre script most of the time. its why I couldnt stand blue peter... being talked down to even at the age of 8 I was sensitive to BS voices and pretense and for comedy, the glaswegian acent is the most fertile ground for comedy and least fertile for pretense... its why modern comedy/pop comedy where everyone is trying to be cool instead of funny is just a plain yawn fest and lets face it, most comedians arent natural comedians like billy connelly, Norm MacDonald, sean lock, Les Dawson who were hilarious down to their short n curlies. they work off a 'formula' and forget one of the most important elements of stand up: delivery and word choice. its mostly americans that suffer from mediocrity and simpler comedy tropes and assembly line stand up purely to make cash... its sad and really dull to watch the fact bert kreisher and tom segura have been successful is astounding, I remember segura in a special asking if his audience was awake... if you need to ask them if they're awake, you aint good enough
