That’s a really a profound insight by Jimmy Carr about “the people who need it”. I’ve been to a lot of comedy shows and 99% of the time I’m great. I arrive in great form and I leave in great form. But on one occasion a few years ago I went to a show after a bad medical diagnosis; looking back it was the best show I’ve ever attended. For two hours I just forgot and during my recovery, whenever times were tough, I just went back to that time. It got me through a lot of challenging times.

Yes. Its lovely he is aware and acknowledges how his talent is needed and appreciated. A good honest laugh is such a remedy.💙

Hearing Jimmy saying he performs for those that need it, that's special. That's a great mentality to have.

"I always think about the people there who really need it." Jimmy does have a heart!

That Bruce Stringbeans story is hilarious and the fact that Jimmy kept popping his head in and making cheeky quips was the icing

There is something genuinely pleasing about hearing someone talk about their craft and loving it, really like Jimmy's attitude towards his work.

Whatever you think of Jimmy Carr's comedy, he absolutely deserves all the success. Insane work ethic, stays and meets the audience after shows and is a prolific joke writer.

Love this. Jimmy's great, and Rob is a national treasure in my eyes.

During these interviews, you really get to appreciate how dedicated these comedians/actors are in their subject. How they study and notice everything about other artists work. I heard today Rob that you are going to be in the new Beatrix Potter film with Dawn French, really looking forward to seeing that.

Jimmy came out of that pretty well. Seems smarter and nicer than I thought.

Another enjoyable one from Team Brydon! Jimmy seemed reluctant to talk about himself, and kind of regressed into "host" mode. Rob played along graciously, which I truly respect. Two very talented pros!

Jimmy is really funny on his own, but his snarky nature makes it even more funny when he's struck funny by something a panelist says & laughs that genuine, hard, braying laugh.

Rob, I've watched several of these chats with 'Friends' and they're excellent. Many thanks for putting the work in during what could have been feet up time.

That was a great Springsteen story.

Love Rob Brydon he is a Welsh hero, Jimmy is a very funny man. These two would be great to spend a couple of hours in a pub with.

Jimmy Carr is great at stand-up. I first see him at Bound & Gagged at the back of The Fox pub in Palmers Green, a very small venue in comparison, and he really stood out from his show, and it was very shortly afterwards that he was dominating the telly with his wit. Only got to see his performance again a year or so ago at O2, and he killed it, great night

One legendary comedian and one legend.

My only exposure to Jimmy Carr is Countdown and 8 out of 10 Cats and he comes across as such a jerk in a lot of those. But he was so warm and caring and made me really like him. I'm grateful for the interview and the opportunity to see him outside of the character he plays on those other shows.

Excellent chat. Love the Springsteen story. Hilarious

Watching Jimmy on this and Big Zuu's Big Eats shows how he is just a genuine person ready for a laugh and wanting to do a good job for everyone to enjoy. Big respect for the man

Saw Jimmy at the Turks Head Twickenham around 2001. Young, fast and extremely sharp.

Is Jimmy gonna be on WILTY again any time soon? ❤️

Best show I've ever seen was Dylan Moran in Nottingham. It was the end of a long tour for him and his entire set was aimed at becoming middle aged at a room full of students. He went off a tangent at the end about missing his family and being tired. It was really tender and spontaneous. It Was rare.
