I could probably listen to Peter Capaldi and Tom Hanks tell stories for hours upon hours without getting bored.

[Ladco]

This speaks volumes about the type of person Peter Capaldi is. Can you imagine most actors passing their Oscar around letting everyone hold it on the flight back home? He was also gracious to shine the spotlight back on Williams and sing his praises.

I love how Tom knows what Michael is doing now. He mentions that he served in Afghanistan. Most actors wouldn't know what some random co-star from 20 years ago is doing now

[mmcg]

Holy crap, can someone write a script for Tom Hanks and Peter Capaldi.

[jadefire]

Mr. Capaldi is just brilliantly humble. He is a huge star, obviously, with legions of fans, and he is just geeking out all the time over other famous people. His expression just seems to say, "Really? For me? ", Yes, Mr. Capaldi, for you. We think you're the bee's knees.

Watching Tom Hanks talk about him changing his voice for Forrest Gump and how it came to be, makes you realize how much work and effort and talent it takes to be an actor at this level.

NO INTERRUPTION WHATSOEVER, Graham, I love you.

Jesus no one can take a joke in the comments. David's a comedian, he's not taking it personally.

[nicolesong]

P: "He won the hearts of the nation when he swam the Channel for charity."
D: "Done that, done that!"
T: "You swam the Channel for charity?"
D: "Yeah. Have you done that?"

Tom Hanks and Peter Capaldi side by side... is this a wonderful dream?

[waterwind]

Seriously - they should have let Peter write a lot of Doctor Who throughout his run. He's an Oscar-winning writer, for god's sake!

[lar]

wow. I think I have a HUGE crush on Peter Capaldi

[Ceolskog]

I love Hanks' change of expression (wow face) after Peter Capaldi points out how Walliams swam the channel, haha.

[shmookins]

I love how Capaldi gave a beautiful and warm twist at the end.

[mooniejohnson]

Not to disparage poor David Williams, but Tom Hanks is one of the nicest and most approachable guys... well, ever, not just in Hollywood. Same goes for Peter. They radiate that genuine warmth and passion without being full of themselves, and that's a fantastic thing.

[lenakingsleigh]

I could listen to Peter Capaldi talk all day and laughed a lot during that show. Also loved that he was so cool and acknowledged what Williams did for charity and doesn't just talk about himself like some actors do. This definitely says a lot about his personality. I truly think, he's just a brilliant human being.

[eastvandb]

Not only was this classic David Walliams comedy (which often makes literal-minded people think he's angry and petty when he's pretending to be angry and petty), but everybody on that couch knows exactly how to play straight man for his bit. It's beautiful, all four of them. Those are performers, folks. And very good at what they do.
Now, is Walliams channeling some genuine envy? Sure. We all have that side, and that shit is GOLD for a performer.

[harrietamidala]

Oh, shame on those reporters in 1995--who's laughing now?

[Paulafan]

I loved the bit at the end where Peter and Tom said how wonderful the Oscars were and David playing into it. Yes, David was in on the joke. He's a comedian and knew how to maximize the laughs for it.

[mgthestrange]

Peter Capaldi should do a one man show, I could listen to him for hours.
