[@88Switches]

This is why Jonathan Ross has faded into obscurity amongst interviewers/chatshow hosts. Imagine having Steve Coogan and Bob Mortimer on your show and getting THAT awkward, uncomfortable performance out of them. 10 minutes of conversation with two absolute legends of British comedy - this should have been priceless television. What we actually got was Steve Coogan being pressured into doing 20-year-old material that he feels uncomfortable doing, and Bob Mortimer being more or less ignored. 100% waste of everyone's time.

[@SynthFreaq]

[@theghettogentleman]

Imagine having '3 Poofs & a Piano' in 2024 - it's hard to believe this is less than 20yrs ago...

[@Blackcats2228]

Jonathan Ross makes every interview awkward in my opinion. He seems to like putting his guests on the back foot. I love Bob Mortimer, and I know he's suffered with depression in the past. I hope he knows how beloved he is by people. I definitely recommend watching Catterick. It's really funny.

[@Lapofthegods]

Such amazing talent both of them. So sad though with what bob said about his kids and suicide , saying it flippantly as all these years ago this topic wasn’t talked about, that was a hidden cry for help what he said as we know years later Bob talked about his deep depression, but luckily has Whitehouse to go fishing with 🤗😘

Bizarre uncomfortable interview…

[@croweater78]

I thought the discomfort would probably pass quickly, but it was like trying to piss out a kidney stone. The only impression I got from Steve Coogan is that he and Jonathan Ross don't much like each other. oh, and he did that Frank Spencer impression too.
