Jimmy Carr is one of the best podcast guests. Would love to see him make the rounds more often.

[@professionaltobogganist8448]

An intimidatingly guest, Santino didn't get the joke at 13:20, he had a fake laugh after it

[@shervinghorab6701]

Just search British Panel shows. 8 out of 10 cats, 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, i let’s rally just told you are shows he hosts and they are amazing.

[@boutek]

@@professionaltobogganist8448 I didn't get it either.

[@spa2damax]

He was amazing in the endless honeymoon

[@rhysperegrine5100]

I find him meh as a comedian but he's an interesting dude. I was expecting the usual "let's complain about cancel culture shit" but he's got more going on

[@GK-qc5ry]

Just so you know Jimmy is one of the hardest working comics in the UK, and is constantly touring even when successful.

[@TheHulksMistress]

And he’s basically the face of comedy quiz shows for us (the UK). God knows how many he’s done now, must be a dozen different shows

[@jesserivera6611]

I actually never liked him up until now. Going back in my morals. Just never liked him but I’m glad to be proven wrong. He seems so genuine

[@jakubgadzala7474]

He also openly pushed for vaccines in his act so F*** J**** C*** all over the world. I don't care if Joe Rogan or Queen Elizabeth invites him. Oh, wait what? She dead? My bad.

Whiskey ginger could only afford an hour 🤣. Great pod tho. I was excited to see him on.

It's almost inspiring how sociable Andrew is

[@CharlieCoops]

Why? This was like an AI amalgamation of every comedian’s podcast. No new ideas, same tropes, utterly mindless ego-wanking of their career 🥱 🥱 🥱

[@kaodik]

This is one of the best episodes ever. I love Jimmy Carr. What a great convo

[@adamdrakestudio]

The level of people Santino seems to be able to ‘hang out’ with is nuts

[@Betty-Boop809]

We’re gonna hear it from Bobby for sure 😂

[@Deeken171]

Mr Hollywood for sure

[@jakubgadzala7474]

Sorry fam, but active vaccine mandate proponents on your pod are not on my list. Your guest pushed for mandates actively in his act. Where I am from we say "You know what to do with the scum". Take care too. I don't care how many great movies Polanski made.

To see Frankie Boyle chatting with Bill Burr would be hilarious. Both funny, both vulgar, both close to the bone and both ginger. A Scotsman and a Bostonian both at it would be a joy to listen in on.

[@gravencanada]

Jimmy Carr is a hero of mine and an absolute universal comedy legend. No one on earth eviscerates hecklers like this guy. Hearing him in this interview was incredibly refreshing to know that he's the exact same person on stage that he is off-stage. The evergreen and hilarious Santino is also ascending the ranks as one the premiere podcast interviewers. Pure joy to watch. Thanks for this.

[@marshall6113]

These guys hit the ground running and just didn't let up the whole show. Just naturally flowing conversation that's consistently engaging.

[@reallivebluescat]

Jimmy loves to talk. He sort of drives the conversation. Nothing wrong with that.

[@ScorpionP2C]

The wild thing about Carr is he always gives insights into the art that no one else does. He has a unique brain that is fascinating and thoughtful differently then others yet relatable, much like his comedy. A real pleasure!

[@abhijitpawar7149]

Especially the Obama-Trump comedian dichotomy

jimmy carr is so incredible. best episode ive seen. a little funny, a little serious, a little slow, a little rapid. yall killed this!

[@thedboy616]

The brown m&m story actually first came about from van halen, they played lots of school gyms in the early days and their stage show weighed a lot and stages collapsed under the weight. The request for the brown m and ms was about half down the rider list and below that was the list of things needed to reinforce the stage so if the M&Ms were not separated then the band knew that the stage was not set up right

[@MrJayehawk]

I also thought it was a Van Halen story. Maybe Bon Jovi picked it up as well or maybe Jimmy just got that fact wrong. Either way the point remains the same and was clever move on the part of the band.

[@adamdrakestudio]

I love the way Andrew is able to really connect with people from all over and I think a lot of has to do with his ability to notice cultures and customs (and do very good accents - to me it shows how much he takes in).

[@adamdrakestudio]

I’m brown haired and but now basically bald and am very good at accents and notice lots but I do think you have a point. It’s the orange.

[@towlie710]

This is a thing with Jimmy too. He's well respected amongst comedians- he's been doing it for decades and is an excellent writer but he gets along with so many of the comedians of the UK because that's his job- hosting multiple panel shows packed with the UKs best comedians.

[@micknightmare3]

stop it ,its not like he has regular people on here lol he has comedians and artist theres enough to talk about one and the same with his guest. it's not hard to relate and start and hold conversation.

[@janeandkieran]

He has managed to make me like people i thought id never enjoy hearing talk. But i just love meghan Trainor now so here we are

[@daxk3385]

Major in communications, minor in dialects

[@FrostbiteRep]

i think this is the first time i've ever seen Jimmy on a podcast. Love all the panel/comedy shows he does in the UK, his standup is great too.

[@bartos977]

He did an episode with Happy Hour and Have a Word Podcast. Both well worth a watch

[@TehPoet]

He was also on "Diary of a CEO" which was funny and sad and just brilliant. Jimmy is a really insightful guy

[@MildChunkySalsa]

First time without a suit for me lol

[@OlliePete]

I first saw a short of this interview, and because I had never seen Jimmy on an American podcast, I thought the short was just a clever bit of editing at first. I'm glad it's actually a full legit conversation, Jimmy is one of a handful of British comedians who can hold their own in the american scene.

[@johnw2019]

It's a nice surprise to realise Jimmy is so popular and appreciated around the world, I genuinely thought he was mainly known in the UK

[@Rosskles]

Yeah same man, would love to see him on YMH.

[@seanstearns3713]

I love Jimmy Carr, his humor is my wheelhouse

[@dielaughing73]

He sold out 20,000 seats for three nights running in Perth, Western Australia. I'm not sure how many bands could do that.

[@ShreddinThrash]

Jimmy is leagues better than most of the comedians that do podcasts lol

[@40krocks21]

Jimmy is a legend. Such a prolific comic. So many specials and each special is so dense with jokes. Also a genuine chap! Great conversation.

[@teejay1646]

Fr Jimmy is probably the single most consistent comic I've ever come across. He never does that Chappelle thing where you sit there for 20 minutes of drawn out storytelling to get to one half decent punchline: he just keeps the jokes rolling the whole time and they're consistently high quality

[@taylorjaymusic4642]

You guys have ridiculously good conversation chemistry, this pod flies by. Thanks for the great content as usual Andrew!

[@Syko1985]

Jimmy is a true comedy legend that probably goes quite unnoticed in the US. The man works his arse off, I went to see him near where I live in the UK and he did 3 hours. Brilliant he was.

[@wish-i_warsocks2074]

I'd say fans of comedy at least know of him. Around the south, from my anecdotal experience , we consider him that classy british fella that will tear into a crowd's ass like tissue paper. I love it.

[@CharlieWhite101]

@@wish-i_warsocks2074 had the pleasure to see him live in my home town and he roasted us for hours and it was glorious

[@DogsCatsSnacks]

Jimmy Carr Superstar!!! He's dead on about how trying standup enriches your experience of intaking comedy. It's impossible to understand until you do it. Looks so simple but holy hell it is not - even if you've been cracking people up your whole life. Endless respect for the great comics with big hearts like these two ❤❤

Jimmy is a gem. What a legend.

[@kinuorthel8096]

This was so intriguing in so many levels, thank you guys!

[@nickricci19]

The Bobby Lee joke Carr made about the catwalk comedian caught me off guard and it was hilarious 😅

[@jmedakwon]

Same here. Since Bobby doesn't do specials & he's been concentrating on his sobriety I didn't think this Irish-British legend would think much about Bobby. So when Carr mentioned Bobby a couple of times I was in shock then laughing.

[@michaelhazin2808]

One of the best episodes of the pod. Pls have jimmy on as often as possible. Your conversation was incredibly enjoyable

[@Kanggaxx]

How great that he said he wants to come back. I will be watching again when he does. Great stuff.
