Oh well...about 10 years ago I first discovered WLIIA and developed a humongous crush on Ryan Stiles...

What I love about Eric Idle is that he has this grumpy old bastard streak (f*ck selfies, f*ck Christmas, f*ck off, etc.) AND YET, he's so warm and gracious. He's friends with everyone; he laughs and smiles all the time; and what he's most known for is a song that cheers people up about death, of all things. Overall, he comes across as a very real, interesting person.

It's so they people onstage don't keep talking for hours and hours ... Of course it loads you up there at 3 a.m. in the morning. And then you sit on the tarmac for four hours because of unforeseen difficulties, i.e. the permanent strike of airtraffic control over Paris. When you finally get to Malaga airport, everybody's queueing for the bloody toilet, and queueing for the bloody half-customs officers, and queueing for the bloody bus that isn't there, waiting to take you to the hotel that hasn't yet been built. When you finally get to the half-built Algerian ruin called the Hotel Limassol, while paying half the holiday money to a license Spaniard in a taxi, there's no water in the pool, there's no water in the bath, there's no water in the tap, there's only a bleeding lizard in the bidet, and half the rooms are doublebooked, and you can't sleep anyway, 'cause the permanent are in the jungles in the hotel next door. Meanwhile, the Spanish National Tourist Board promises that the raging cholera epidemic is merely a mild outbreak of the Spanish Conleigh, rather like the previous outbreak in 1616, even the bloody rats are dying from it!

Ryan Stiles is the best actor on who's line is it anyway, hands down.

How Eric is so concerned about if the audience can hear them properly. Such humility and down to Earth. Have watched his interviews from way back from the 70s and he is still the same and not a bit of show off inspite of his fame!! 👍👏👏👏 And he is so complimenting of Ryan who is way younger and came into the industry later than him. Wow!

"You weren't there" priceless

Love Ryan’s English pronunciation of “Beatle”. Nice touch.

This is a gem! I knew Ryan back when he was a partner at UpFront Comedy in Santa Monica in the early 1990s...the man simply could not fail to make a scene work. He was superlative at the games, but he excelled at the far trickier long-form improv format the "Harold". I am not surprised that he's a good interviewer. Improvisation requires you to be an exceptionally generous performer, and you learn to listen on a sensory level that is nearly a form of telepathy. He's a master at it.

The Universe song and the entire work of Life of Brian are incomparable. NOTE TO SELF: No selfies. Got it.

Two of my favorite commodians together. A real surprise to learn they go way back.

Just great, Eric. Love your person and your attitude and performance skills - Thanks for who you are !!

Love that story about George Harrison and The Life of Brian.

They'll never make their money back. I told them. I said to them: "Bernie, they'll never make their money back."

I love Eric and Ryan... so glad I found this gem!

What a dream to stumble upon this video… love both of these performers

Ryan Stiles is perfect for interviewing Eric Idle. Yes great but wow, polished honest but American. 50 years!!

If Eric Idle did nothing else in life other than write the song "Always look on the bright side of life..." that would have been enough. And to think he got the idea, and wrote the song in about 20 minutes. What a fortunate man he is to have worked with some of the funniest comedians ever, marry the woman he loved and to have stayed married. Amazing, wink, wink, nudge, nudge!

I hope you're okay Mr. Idle.

Also, answers to the actual questions. Only flaw: was mentioned, but should have asked Eric to do the "nudge, nudge, wink, wink/say no more, say no more" skit as a sample at least.

Commie Capitalists like Idle calling people Nazis. Thats rich. Idle, while funny, is a washed-up 60's relic that loves the money and security Western Democracy, especially the USA, has afforded him but rejects (publicly) the preservation of the societies that made it possible. He's a typical trendy, self hating, smug Leftist hypocrite. He knows better than to express any other viewpoint in Hollywood if he wants to have his ass kissed for the rest of his life. And he's got his loot. So virtue signalling Trump/Nazi non-sense is automatic.
