And thank you! Oh Joy!

Can you please release it off-spotify as well?

[@sophietucker3163]

Rob Brydon is such a talented and charismatic presence, whatever he does.

[@deanmacey3554]

Rob, it sounds like you've never seen Arrested Development. You need to drop everything and watch it immediately! It is (or at least its first two series are) a sitcom masterpiece!

[@FloraWest]

What a treat to get to see that show for the first time.

[@Jlk-rm1jv]

I can't watch anything with Jason Bateman in it. He plays the same character in everything. Cant stand him

[@hawtmess66]

He's a comedic gem. I've seen just about every movie he's done and I've never been disappointed. From Juno, Super Bad, Arrested Development and Nick and Norah amongst a few. I look forward to what's next from him

[@fiv1168]

These are just the perfect length. Also, Rob Brydon tells Michael Cera to 'Get lost!' 😂

[@Czechbound]

Mr. Cera is excellent.

[@iainprendergast8311]

Does Rob not know about Arrested Development? Pure genius

[@ChillyMilly908]

i just love him forever

[@joycejohnson7164]

Juno, my fav.

Is that a portrait of Leonard Rossiter on the desk, visible at 8:39? Love to know the story of why it’s there if that’s what it is.

[@vultan2000]

Two future Barbie co-stars!

[@carina9295]

Wow, when Sugar Daddy Ken met Allan

[@Light-qi8ol]

4:06 i did something similar as a kid. it was during a soccer match. i played defence. i sat down in a meditative stance, positioning my hands a certain way such as i had seen in the movies, i also closed my eyes. after one minute my coach shouted from the sideline to warn me against an incoming attack from the opponent. so i stood up to defend while roleplaying that i had gained immense power from my meditation. unfortunately it didn't have any supernatural effect which i soon had to accept, although i did enter meditation a 2nd time as well before ending my fantasy-spree. i remember looking at the sideline and seeing my father baffled, and that's what made me stop playing buddhist-karate-kid on the soccer field. we lost but i learned to contain myself from that day on.

[@daveylevsonart]

Has he seen Mirrormask?

[@3506Dodge]

'Hollywood people' are so careful and diplomatic. That's how they get to be 'hollywood people.' There is so much money riding on them they have to be.

[@zzzcocopepe]

nincompoop is an accurate word to describe michael cera. lmao im half-kidding, i dont hate michael cera at all.

This felt like it was more about Rob than Michael

The Bill Murray bits might not age well tbc

[@MarkBond1111]

Crikey! How much did you pay Cera? !

[@aaroncarter240]

I lose all respect for people that work with schumer ,one of the worst joke thieves going.

[@EzWebbable]

I thought you were both funny guys. Why is this so boring?

[@iainprendergast8311]

Human remains was pure genius as well

If there is no Michael Caine then I DONT CARE WHOEVER YOU ARE!!!!!!!!

[@TheirStoryUK]

@Rob Brydon I know this message will probably get lost in the pile but it's my ultimate number one dream to feature on the panel of would I lie to you. I would be amazing on there I just know it. I'm very quick witted too. If not as quick as our Lee!

[@juliamcwilliam]

"I was on a TV show, Arrested Development" such an unassuming, modest young man

[@joanneturner1486]

Loved this. He's just so good. Love that he loves you too Rob.

[@tomfool23]

Very pure and lovely reaction from Rob there when Cera tells him the Garry Shandling liked The Trip

[@RyanAndTheHawk]

Scott Pilgrim, Paulie Bleeker, Nick Twisp, Evan... no one plays characters like Michael Cera. What a guest!

[@HarryDuBois616]

don't forget the finest performance of his career as Wally Brando in Twin Peaks

[@merylbonderow5993]

He’s so modest! ❤

[@orlandusbarrow8692]

He’s basically the same guy in all of those movies.

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

@@HarryDuBois616 No... his finest role is Michael Cera in This is the End.

[@CaptChrispy]

5:55 I like that, talking about listening and then Rob interrupts to say the same thing!

[@willbournerv2259]

I never knew I needed to see both of these people together

[@prakharjain9801]

Two of my favorites. Love from 🇮🇳

[@davidlindsay6274]

Thank you Rob Brydon for bringing on Michael Cera, massive fan of his

[@andytallman101]

Great interview, Rob. Can you please also interview Michael's "Paper Heart" co-star, Charlyne Yi?

[@MrUmandMrEr]

Human Remains deserves more exposure. I have the dvd, but is it available to stream?

[@HughRaine]

Reunited in Barbie!

[@supergangsterish1234]

His beard reminds me of that toy that you use a magnet on to move iron filings around a man's face

[@hawtmess66]

Hahahahaha. I totally see it

Hi Rob, avid watcher here. Do wish they were longer, however. Thou, I am from a generation equipped with longer attention spans. :-)

We all started as a kid, Rob… 🙄😉

[@daveyfunk]

Great interview. Shame you didn't ask him about playing himself in 'This is the End'. He comes across as the nicest guy and his obnoxious character in that cracks me up every time :)

[@PurushaDesa]

He's also a prick in Molly's Game. Though that might be cos the character is based on Tobey Maguire!

[@artiezonk]

He might be the only one who's had a good experience with Bill

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

Garry Shandling, Bill Murray. My heroes.

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Not a huge fan of Cera's work but he seems like a pretty cool guy.

[@fatmumlickslips445]

Michael Cera class act guy. really down to earth! fucking love him. I could never say anything bad about him again especially after this interview. cool personality. GREAT sense of humour. oh Michael, you are loved.
