David Attenborough goes bonkers and smashes the whole studio in a fit of maniacal laughter

[neogriz]

David:
Smiles politely

Jonathan Ross' marketing team:
DAVID ATTENBOROUGH LOSES

[sazzadbinjahid]

Lemme say this once and for all. David Attenborough is not a national treasure. He is a treasure of the whole planet.

[Thumbs]

He didn't lose anything! He politely laughed at the appropriate time. That's it.

[meller]

David: *chuckles appropriately*
Title creator: *dissolves into insanity after experiencing severe manic hilarity and near heart attack inducing levels of laughter*

[carolanjosmelo]

"I decided to improvise with the baboon" - Such a thing Michael Scott would do

[nazsimons]

Steve Carell is one hilarious story teller. Yes, I know you know, but I wanted to acknowledge it again.

[marklandgraf]

Steve Carell's superpower is chemistry. He has great chemistry with everyone.

[celestialnurse]

As an operating room nurse, I find Steve's surgery equipment description from a patient's perspective effin hilarious 😆😆😆

[AlexCookTheatre]

Imagine just sitting and chilling with David Attenborough damn

[markweir]

A 95 year and a 55 year old man the conversation heads towards a hip replacement who would have thought it was the 55 year old man who had it. Fair play to sir David at being so full of life and fit most people his age struggle to get out of bed.

[geetika]

Never thought a hip replacement surgery story could be this entertaining. The skill on this guy, MAN!

[christhesmith]

I work in the Operating Room..his description of a total hip room is spot on. Good thing he didn't see it immediately after they finished!!!!

[gojuls]

Steve is such a warm and down-to-earth guy. Love him!

[jayrob]

Perfect example of how funny Carell is. All he said was he decided to improvise. And just that line by itself elicited laughter.

[karimloberg]

Pretty sure you meant: *"David Attenborough rolls on the floor laughing while gasping for air and then cries himself to sleep every. single. night ever after"*
Right?

[AnDiHaZeKaYe]

Must be a honour to anyone to sit that close to David Attenborough =) to think by the age of 25 he had done more for man kind than most of us will do in our lifetime. Just imagine how many species have been discovered and named by him and his crew members =). Honestly my favourite person on the planet!

[Vikotnick]

"And the agony is worse" That voice. That glorious of Sir David.

[TheNormExperience]

Real question; why do surgeons do that?! I remember being prepped for my surgery and the doctor finally comes in and goes, “So do you want to do this procedure we discussed? Or do you want to do this newer procedure we’ve never ever talked about? It’s showing good results.”
...Well gee DOC, then maybe you should have mentioned it in the multiple appointments we’ve had in the YEAR leading up to this surgery today! No I don’t want to do a completely new procedure I know nothing about and haven’t prepared at all for!!! I’m also not feeling as confident about you cutting me open as I was literally 3 seconds ago!

[CescoCDN]

Fantastic interview. Carell and Sir Atenborough interact easily and Ross gives them all the space needed unlike some hosts *cough* Fallon who has the need to overtake the interview.
