I love how Steve deferentially hangs back...waiting...then drops bombs at exactly the right moment.

[JustinSmith-pxky]

After years of watching them I never realised they were 13 years apart.

[wlsk]

They do their best work together. It's time for them to get the band back together.

[REECEM]

To think its been 9 years since Ricky, Steve and Karl have worked together. I love the podcasts, the animated show, An Idiot Abroad, Lifes Too Short and Derek. Who knows they might reunite one day.

"I've hitched my wagon to this particular fat horse" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[moonbaked]

Stephen Merchant is great. Ive been watching him in The Outlaws. Love love him.

[ShrugSzn]

This was the best interview I’ve seen in a long time. Makes me miss the Ricky Gervais show

[tredaly]

I honestly Think Gervais and merchant are two Of the greatest comedy writers duo’s of all time they just get it right every time. The office, extras, life’s to short, an idiot abroad The Ricky Gervais show it’s all absolutely hilarious just comedy genius

[geraldjones]

2 of the best intelligent British comedians, there's no show or movie these two have done that I don't like.legends

[gohumberto]

2023 - Ricky is 61 and Steve is 48 (Karl is 50 and Alan Carr is, remarkably, the youngest of the lot at 47)

[rogerdodger]

Two WILDLY funny men and compliment each other perfectly.

[trystandavies]

Up there with the best comedy duos EVER. They just bounce off each other so well, and they both find the other one hilarious, which obviously helps massively

[lingricker]

Hello Ladies by Merchant was BRILLIANT. It made me realise a lot of the duos writing was heavily done by Stephen.

[LoganW]

This is how you know they are best friends. And god damn it I loved this delivery 😂

[dan_hitchman]

Ricky and Stephen balanced their unique types of comedy writing out perfectly. The right splash of dry wit, human observation, with heart and pathos that could actually move you, sometimes to tears. Separately, they just aren't as good.

[PeterFraser-hprs]

Happy days -- August 2010. My god, it was like living on a different planet then.

[freddiefreeman]

That was so funny, the three of them are comedy gold in this 😂

[MrFruitgum]

Still listen everyday to the Podcasts they all done with the great Mr K Dilkington - Man Moth - Horse in the house - etc etc. I wish the trio would all get back together

[noka]

RICKY AND STEVE get back together, the world awaits.

[travisbickle]

I really wished they would have done at least one more series of An Idiot Abroad but with the three of them travelling together, Ricky would have tormented the hell out of them 😂. Hopefully one day the right project will bring them back together.
