It's great to see Tommy looking so well and thinking so clearly. I met him several times after frequenting a small comedy club called 'Alexanders' in the early 90's, he's a lovely bloke. He has such a natural comedic flow. Always looked effortless. I'm so pleased that he's gaining the recognition he truly deserves. He is a master of his craft and a credit to humanity.

This is amazing. David Cross got a hell of a show!

[@Fonzleberry]

I love how Tommy goes on other peoples podcasts to interview them.

[@scottblack9213]

Glad Tommy's getting out of Ireland and talking with some fellow peers. Ireland can be stifling when it comes to comedy. Although Tommy's Irish, he's way to sharp and astute to be hanging around in Ireland all the time. He really is a man of the world 🌎

[@DrCornwater]

The whole conversation at the beginning was amazing. Being funny demands self awareness and falls into cruelty when you don't throw yourself into the people you're clowning on. I have great bits that are at the expense of trans people, but they are from years of being an ally and talking to the various trans people in my life. Everyone is ridiculous! It takes a good mind and a lot of heart to make that kind of humor work.

[@campd73]

Totally agree. Comedy is about exaggerating the absurdity and it's the space we as people have where we can say ridiculous things to explore a taboo subject because of the absurdity added to it. To me, the measurement is "did you make this joke with intent" meaning you thought it through and have a comedic intent behind it. You are going to offend some people because not everyone understands comedy or people understand comedy to a various degree. I think it is also important to reflect on those that have been offended, just to keep yourself grounded in reality; I certainly don't believe you should feel compelled to change anything based on someone being offended.

[@TadhghR]

[@invisibleshuffle]

Odd to see David shut him down on the "Imagination/Nature" bit. I think that's fantastic and could fire an entire conversation, maybe that's why he poo-pooed the idea, it'd get quickly out of hand so near the end.

[@thepatinashop5071]

[@paulkingMotion]

[@velvetunderpants44]

[@cathalbutler]

Yes there were a few times where he backed off. But I agreed that observation on nature in particular would’ve been an interesting one too unfold……. and the fact that it came from a six-year-old child was absolutely amazing.

Absolutely no offence meant by this at all, but as an Irish person this was so hard to watch. There were so many things Tommy said sarcastically or kind of in a tongue in cheek way that yerman couldn't catch at all and it made the atmosphere almost unbearably cringe.

Jay Johnston. He worked with David Cross on Mr. Show. He was incredibly funny but went down this path of madness, getting charged with a crime on J6

Tommy is a legend. No idea who the bald guy is. Hes not on Tommys level though which is frustrating to listen to. He’s 3 steps behind Tommy the whole interview. Hopefully Tommy makes JRE. That would be a class listen.

[@jaysunbrady]

You don't know who David Cross is? You've got the whole of Arrested Development to watch so. My god I'd love to see that for the First time again. It really is the best comedy of all time. I've watched it about 10 times I'd guess and I'm still picking up jokes I've missed (they set up a joke, then have the punch line 5 episodes later. Honestly look into it, it's a cult series for a reason). Then you have Mr Show, two sets decades apart, one from the 90s and one from the late teens. With Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul) and a host of other stars you'll recognise. A sketch comedy show that is more out there and better than Key and Peele. Also worth it is The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. Sitcom he does with Sharon Hogan. Arrested Development though, you lucky bastard getting to see that for the First time. Give it a few episodes to give it a chance but stick with it.

[@jaysunbrady]

Rogan wouldn't have a chance with Tommy. Sure Mark Normand and Shane (sometimes Ari too) joke with each other and it goes right over Joe's head. Sure Mark and Shane sometimes take the piss directly outta Joe and he hasn't a clue. Did you see the Jimmy Carr episode of Rogan? For me Jimmy is one of my all time greats, I've seen him live 7 times, I out him up there with Louie CK and Burr. But my god on Rogan they just fellated each other for two hours. You know when Joe goes into comedy theory? How comedians are the only truth tellers left, and how there's only 250 of them in the whole world (and the number gets smaller city each telling) and we should thank them? Well the whole Carr episode was all that. I've heard Carr go into comedy theory before and he's written boks on the topic but Rogan isn't intellectual enough to hold a scholarly conversation on the topic unlike Jimmy who I've seen it done in conversation with Stephen Fry.

[@mattconnolly6341]

Great conversation if you take David’s political BS out of it.

[@abtran2010]

Not sure who David Cross is but he certainly ain't a good interviewer, he also seemed a bit slow to keep up with Tommy's wit.

[@deeppete1557]

Both as ADD as the other and as ignorant about it as the other.

[@brianchappell4054]

OK, David complains about the life of a stand up comedian. Jesus, does he really want empathy? Fuck, really? How many people think this is interesting? Just truly wanting to know Fuck me 2024.

[@nirish25]

This was absolutely cringing to watch. The interviewer just doesn't get Irish humour or anything in the specifics of what makes Irish people the funniest people. The way he started off with wanting to know the specifics of the way tommy wanting to change his moniker if her was starting again. Tommy had to correct him multiple times because he just didn't get what Tommy was actually meaning. The yank and Americans in general just can't understand and cope with the way we find the extraordinary in the ordinary which makes Tommy and Irish people such fantastic story tellers. Americans can only understand the literal in everything.

[@markkeogh2190]

I don’t think we saw the same interview.
