It's his timing... I'm convinced it's his timing. He just seems to know EXACTLY when to interject. Very few comedians have this skill. You watch him on anything, but particularly panel shows like QI or 8oo10CdC or the Last Leg, and it's his ability to time every single one of his outbursts to the absolute second that makes them so very funny.

He seems like a surreal dysfunctional version of the wee fat guy from Abbott & Costello the 1940s/50s comedy movie duo. Amd he works the look like a well oiled instrument. Fearlessness and yet vulnerability. Explosive combination. Belly laugh material every time.

"He hasn't mentioned his family, if he's an orphan I apologise" absolutely killed me 😂

Johnny Vegas is one of the most authentic comedians ever. The completeness of his honesty, fragility, darkness and light make me laugh, shed a tear and think deeply all at the same time, in waves and waves. All as it should be. An absolute comic genius and you just know that the world will not protect him and he'll end up in harm's way and that's what make you treasure him even more.

Love Johnny Vegas...so utterly random, yet seemingly always perfect timing with hilarious commentary.

"You'll never be me!" Genius! I saw him years back at the Bradford Studio - stood on our table, completely wankered singing "I Will Survive"

"you're a nice lad, but nobody should give you 100 grand to make a show......cause you're an alcoholic" hahahahaha fucking brilliant.

Absolutely perfect. Just ideal in every way. The uncomfortable people who know it's an act but are beginning to worry it might not be; that tonight will be the night when he actually takes a drink from his prop glass and starts to genuinely wing it. He never says anything which isn't funny. He's the butt of his own jokes. Nobody else ever suffers. They're embarrassed for him not for themselves. But secretly everyone in the room is wishing they could get away with it as well. The man is an actual diamond. The more you crush him the more beautiful he gets.

I'm glad I found this. I remember pissing myself laughing all those years ago. That huge rant and then 'and the award goes to!!! ' Haha

Comedy Gold! "I'd like to thank the BBC for giving me so much encouragement I come up with crap ideas. Will somebody out there just tell it as it is: 'You're quite a funny lad but nobody should give you fifty to a hundred grand to make a show because you'll waste it - because you're an alcoholic!'

i saw johnney years ago in Edinburgh at "late & live" it didn't start until midnight and nobody remembers when it ended. It was a bear pit for comics with heckles expected. I so remeber Johnny becaue of the hush. We genuinly didn't know if this was his act or he was having a full on breakdown on stage. Thankfully it was his act, i think, and he won the crowd over by being hilarious.

A genius at work. Vegas is a legend!

just brilliant!!

should have let johnny present the whole show. no awards would have been given out but it would have been a right good laugh.

Johnny Vegas, LEGEND! also Lee Francis here showing the beginning of his invention of Keith Lemmon

Three sheets to the wind? There's a full laundrette on that washing line.

He's holding a pint as he walks out. That's a good sign.

@pamlawrence1 : Look at the clip again and see what is said. I quite like Chris Marshall, always found his character in My Family to be funny. But he says about his writing team "If it's not on the page, you can't do it"..... something that doesn't apply to Johnny Vegas because he's original and writes for himself. To hand an award for best comedy newcomer to someone who is basically just a talented actor, when you can reel off improvised genius like Vegas can, makes his actions here justified.
