Joe Wilkinson Reveals The Strange Tale of a Bread Knife in a Bathroom | The Russell Howard Hour

[@MrPressHere]

Such a humble man. The way he started to get emotional when the great Sean Lock was mentioned made him look like such a simple man. Love him. One of the best in the world.

[@DeinosDinos]

When he's not playing a character on Cats does Countdown he's so chill and thoughtful!

[@Ccccccccccccc92]

It’s called being yourself, a character is just that a character

[@floridaLise]

I just love both of these guys. Who needs a real life, this is great!!

[@EatinPaste]

Joe's one of the few people I've seen consistently break Sean and make him lose it.

@@alicebrown2809 You're probably not going to like this...but now I'm wondering what he would look like without the beard and shorter hair. I think I've seen him without a beard before but I'm not sure. It's almost like that hair goes with the brown suit and not with what he's wearing here.

I cannot say how much I love Joe Wilkinson, no matter what he's doing. Be it the character he puts on for 8/10cats or himself, he's an absolute treasure.

[@AngelicusImmortus]

Hearing the controlled emotion in their voices at the mention of Sean’s name, just shows how much they admired him.

[@MikesBakes]

Joe with glasses looks so much more friendly

[@bethanyrachel63]

The way they both got emotional talking about the great Sean lock had me in tears too 😔 a national treasure. Joe is such a humble man and there are so many great comedians I can think of who are just as great, nothing beats British comedy. ♥️

[@kathyrose8750]

I’ve never watched him enough to see Joe out of character. Really has a chilled and humble vibe.

[@ikku4321]

Joe Wilkinson is one persona who makes me tune in every time. His and Sean's parts on '8 Out Of 10 Cats does Countdown' made the show for me. I feel like Joe is my spirit animal and Sean was my soulmate. Anyways, shout-out to Joe's and David's new podcast 'Chatabix' - unscripted daily morning check-in calls between two friends.

[@seanshaw8321]

It really is about nothing, but so funny!

[@supersexygal01]

Joe should be the perfect permanent captain on cats does countdown in replacement of Sean. No one can replace Sean but Joe would fit right in, in that awkwardness Sean has lol

So happy and glad they mentioned Sean but also painful to listen. You could tell it has and still does affect Joe, but who can blame him. Three of my favourite comedians, Russell, Joe and Sean. You'll be forever missed, Sean! 😞🕊️

[@leonbrooks2107]

Having watched back at episodes where he is making Sean laugh you can tell he meant what he said. When he is doing a bit he regularly looked to Sean’s direction to see if he is still laughing.

[@anumeon]

I fully expected Joe to come out and say "I'll be honest with you Russell, there was a bit of a cockup. I was supposed to be on Newsnight" or something similar.. I really, really love Joe.. :)

[@mbate2253]

Joe Wilkinson is the only man who can look more homeless while wearing a suit

[@WillHoll4399]

Probably because it’s brown with a yellow shirt 😂

[@joanne4758]

"Nationals peculiar brother" - I like that. What a delight to see him being interviewed. Hope his series goes well.

[@megaskyburst]

Sounds like you won’t be watching it

The poop knife!!!

[@Tezonx]

I love Joe. He brings endless laughter. One of my favorite moments with him is def his poem on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Kills me everytime - if you havnt seen it, DO IT! xD

[@Willsanky]

I always thought that brown suit was stitched to Joe's skin.... I love Joe soooooo much... Also, lest we forget the great lock! Oh and of course, I'm he funniest thing I have ever seen on TV, was Joe's poem. Genuinely the funniest thing ever

[@2501aza]

Can’t believe there’s a regular joe who doesn’t chug cans in brown suit

[@sharp7866]

I can’t believe joe Wilkinson is an actual person and not just the creepy uncle!

[@EpicOcrafters]

I watched the videos about Sean for weeks and weeks, and to see you two talk about him has but it all into a nice perspective. I haven't seen Joe's reaction to Sean until now.

[@michaelmueller8772]

Poor Joe. You can see he's still grieving deeply for Sean, and who can blame him. He was one of a kind.

[@grantosgroover6556]

Have seen and said hello to him around town a few times. Never forget the time in the public toilets at the station when he was naming adjacents' members.

[@katelynsmith61]

Joe looks so cuddly in that sweater 🥺

[@xRiizo]

I will always feel bad for Joe for the potato throw! He wasn't on the red green, and a lot of the previous and future people had worse cases but got off. He was robbed! Love the man though he's fucking hilarious!

[@tbz1551]

...but because of that, it became THE iconic Taskmaster moment.... it was the best thing that could have happened in that scenario for both Joe and the show.

[@Elwaves2925]

Except he was on the red green. It was only just but he was touching it, it's clear in the close-up. However, I do think Greg should have let him have it, just for making the excellent throw that others failed to do. Then again, as stated by T BZ, Joe not getting it after his emotional begging, is part of what makes it so iconic.

[@boskee]

@@Elwaves2925 Nope, he wasn't. Take a shoe and see how it curves up. He wasn't touching the red green.

[@tbz1551]

@@boskee That’s nonsense 😂… You guys do realize that the fact that we are debating this proves my point …not the OP.

[@Elwaves2925]

​@@boskee He was wearing white trainers (not shoes) which were almost flat and it wasn't the 'curly' part that touched, it was slightly to the right of that. However, I fully respect your right to be wrong and blind. The close-up footage clearly shows it touching.

[@sgt.yarpyarp144]

I’ve only seen joe on the panel shows and on the season of taskmaster he was on, so different in this interview really great watch 👍

[@ColinRichardson]

His poem about the train station toilet, and Sean's reaction to it brings both tears of sadness and tears of laughter to my eyes at the same time..

I think one of the greatest things you can say about Joe is, if every comedian could only make one person laugh and it was Sean Lock, Joe ALWAYS laughed when Joe was on. He put him in absolute hysterics at times

James cordon has forgot who his real friends are since he has become more famous. Sean locks death devastated so many people and so many friends sean had posted on twitter and spoke about his death showing how much they cared. James cordon hasn’t spoke a single word of his death not even showed respect online.

I am more into edgy jokes like that of Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais, Frankie Boyle and as such. However, weirdly, Joe Wilkinson appears to be my absolute favourite. I am my absolutely intrigued by how good and humble he is.
