This was a very entertaining conversation.

"It's the early stages of something for one of us..." 😆😆😆

I thought I heard him say George Michael too. So I went back to check and Stephen, you did not enunciate 'Martin' anywhere near well enough to be understood. Your fault sir, your fault.

I think Rob should interview just...random people...guys like me--non-celebrities. Let's see if he can monetize that!

[puirYorick]

I agree with Rob that one should chat with a celebrity about mundane topics as you would with any new person you bump into. Sadly there would be no monetization of any such non-events but I did feel as if I had made a positive, though not really lasting impression on the individuals when I have used this approach.

I'm certain Stephen Merchant used that NYC anecdote on WILTY.

[michaeldavis]

Why does Rob have Elvis' jumpsuit?!

This is a strange observation but Stephen Merchant has scary eyes

Of course Bruce 5' -10" (178cm) is "petite" to Stephen. And yes, I think most things would seem heavy for his lanky, toothpick arms.
