I love the bit when Riz Ahmed turns into Jeremy Clarkson

[@Euanhamiltonmusic]

He's even more talented than I'd realised

[@pushthetempo2]

I heard he's practising for his new role. Its about a bbc hit show ruckus

[@meoohmy3231]

What a great show! Stephen Merchant’s story about having to have an ophthalmologist on set like a “diva” was hilarious 😂

[@johngault-9597]

Stephen is fantastic. I cannot decide if Sting is unintentionally deadpan or doesn't have a sense of humor.

[@James-vv7vh]

Seems like the latter to me

[@VAPIDISM]

I think he is just permanently smug

[@READYTEDDYBEAR]

Sting used to be a teacher.... so he probably doesn't have a good sense of humour!

[@robertstorey7476]

I think he just doesn't understand Stephen's self deprecating humour.

[@pixiewings21_9]

Sting's never been the most animated of people. Stewart Copeland has said that Sting is actually very shy and reserved, and that sometimes (wrongly) comes across as arrogance 🤷‍♀

[@monkeydust100]

Sting looking at Stephen is hilarious

[@GooglSucksDisk]

He was a teacher before the rock star thing... He still looks like a teacher!

[@TheRealStrayWolf]

Ironically for such a tall man, he was always stuck in Ricky’s shadow. Glad to see him finally getting his props.

[@petecoventry6858]

Stephen. Fellow Hannovian - Nice to see you Babber!. I am so glad you've not lost the Brizolain twang!

[@DavidMarko-ot8kw]

Stephen Merchant is hugely a funny funny person to interview. Man he is quick, just brilliant. WOW!!!!

[@pixiewings21_9]

Stephen's a delight!

[@make725daily1]

I'm genuinely enthralled by your video! - "Obstacles are the stepping stones of growth.."

[@drewcampbell8555]

When Riz Ahmed metamorphosised into Jeremy Clarkson... that was fucking spooky.

[@1minutecomicswalahollywood648]

Hello Jonathan, I am a new subscriber. ❤

[@leecorcoran6174]

Merchant is fantastic 😂😂

[@timkelly7911]

[@rikurodriguesneto6043]

[@duzzyclayton5821]

[@baileydiesel6302]

We have Guy Fawkes night in Canada as well.

[@jenniferthompson5060]

[@MultiVince95]

[@LUFC123]

I wonder if Steve got his 50p back

[@RT-ks2zi]

Eyes bulging with imagined 50ps

[@duncanfernie3000]

Hilarious I’m a Brit in Canada and was explaining to a local why I didn’t celebrate Halloween. As I was telling him about GF day and as I was telling him I was thinking “this is mad”

[@ChrisB-xj2wb]

Sting. A wee looked after Paul Gascoigne

[@soulsvaniad2012]

I love how at 4:29, the guy(blanking on his name) is looking at the camera 'we lost him'.

[@BeezerWashingbeard]

What's with the seating arrangement?

[@lauriemashek5419]

Covid social distancing

[@clintgowen124]

Sting does not seem happy to be there, i cant say i saw him smile or laugh once!! is he so self important and above everybody else!!

[@demetrios3232]

Perhaps he's just taking in the long stories, enjoying them, yet not feeling the need to laugh obnoxiously or put on a show. Perhaps the viewer considers Sting to be so important that the focus is on him and his reactions.

[@GerryScullion]

Sting. Loosen up man.

[@MabDarogan2]

400 years, not 600 years

[@jamietrev]

Mr Merchant is so, so, so much funnier than whosis name;;;!> you know the one who’s very, very fond of himself

[@fuckamericanidiot]

That little guy that everyone loves doing the Golden Globes 5 times.

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

6:00 something awful has happened to Riz Ahmed

[@charliesimmons9320]

Stephen Mitchell

[@leroyrosenior4300]

600 years ago? The gunpowder plot was in 1605 lol.

[@felixwebster4192]

You’re a laugh.

[@shantayedincsoy1611]

Its called hyperbole for comedic affect.

[@rowan3946]

Sting is one cool dude, even though he knows it…

[@babyshambler]

It's not 600 years Smerch, ffs.

[@deb-1558]

It wasn't 600 years ago. More like 500 to 400 years ago

[@cryptosammy]

It wasn’t 600 more like 500 to 400 so basically you don’t know either correcting someone but doesn’t know the answer yourself what a prat 🤦🏼

[@ItreboR63I]

Why are they sitting so far apart?

[@jenniferpearce1052]

Remember there was that pandemic thing?

[@SULTANbySULTAN]

👍👍😊

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Steve’s telling a funny story , people laughing but Riz looks so dour and uninterested. I know some folk who’ve worked with him and he thinks he’s above others.

[@santinoalfredo390]

you can tell sting doesnt like merchant. must be cos of the jibe from extras about sting calling thee fucking council

[@scottmcdowell27]

He was in life too short - they're must be on good terms

[@natmanprime4295]

no you cant. stop talking s h i t e theyre clearly fine with each other

[@ChampagneOasisGaming]

Is it just me or does Steve look like vic reeves stretched to the limit

[@largedoglover99]

Mice don’t like cheese they do like chocolate and peanut butter

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

And donuts. We had one in our office and he dragged off half a donut my boss left on his desk.

[@nabeelkhan6202]

[@nabeelkhan6202]

[@jonnygibs77]

[@nabeelkhan6202]

Yep

[@nabeelkhan6202]

Please try to get in touch with one of these people

[@benbrian9884]

[@jamesscottvideos]

It's so fake and rehearsed, it's just pathetic comedy.

[@jiro4559]

unlike any standup show and stuff like that?

[@pottypranks8628]

Still sitting miles apart. COVID bs still with us.

[@Mad4Citeh]

Filmed in 2021

[@pottypranks8628]

@@Mad4Citeh Yeah Thanks. It was inhuman back then though.

[@BbBb-sd2bs]
