Daisy Donovan was my tv crush back in the day

I remember watching the 11 O Clock show on a 14 inch solavox tv in my bedroom, during a pretty sad time in my life as a 20 year old. This, and "Two Pints of Lager" were a couple of shows that bought me a lot of comfort. Not forgetting Ali G started on this show also. Thanks for the upload!

I remember coming home from work (I did a 2-10 shift), and it was the first time I'd seen Ricky Gervais and I thought he was the funniest thing ever. Fair paly to the fella, he's done all right for himself.

He really wasn't that funny. He just swore a lot which was impactful back then. And life peaked in the mid-90s. You can see it in music. Grunge music was conclusion of 50 years of guitar music, and that died in 1994 when Kurt Cobain (was) checked out.

I was a Runner & Assistant on the show back then. Ricki was really nice & nice to me. Daisy & Iain too.

I don't understand people moaning about comedians reusing jokes, if the rolling stones play 'satisfaction' in a gig no-one complains that they've already played that song in 1965 do they? I personally like seeing the evolution from 'throwaway comment on xfm' to 'part of a million selling comedy show'. It does at least show that he doesn't just pay a load of writers to supply him with jokes every time he does a new tour, as I understand many supposed 'top rate comedians' do. I mean, in the 70s all the comedians used to just pick and choose from a pool of about a few hundred standalone gags that they all shared, there was some people that were genuinely inventive eg. Billy Connolly with his long, digressing story telling, but to complain about artists doing the same trick twice seems like the thought process of a spoilt, entitled toddler.

Lots of the top rated comedians write for each other which is a good thing as they will sometimes think up material that isn't for the fans they've created. Normally the best bit about the joke though is the misdirection, the unknown part about it normally setting up some expectation and then revealing the counter intuitive or bizarre answer. What's the point of going to see a top comedian to hear everything they've already said before may aswell just watch the DVD. With music there's normally some sought of emotional connection and they importantly sound really good. If you are willing to spend £20 a ticket to see a comedian who's jokes you've already heard then more fool you.

@@dangriff12 I totally agree with the point about setting up a well known joke then ending with an unexpected twist, and that is definitely better for comedy fans, but half the people at a big comedy show wont have seen them before. They've just been dragged along, so reusing some jokes is not just economical but also does this half of the audience a favour. In fact a small percentage of the audience won't even be into comedy full-stop. It's better to get new fans interested by using a few of your strongest jokes, and even if half the people have heard them, chances are they're fans and will still laugh anyway. I'd be pissed off if I payed even £10 and the show was a complete transcript of the last one I saw, but I think it's acceptable for comedians to have a repetoire of classics, to keep the laughter going enough for them to enjoy the next, original joke. Like an appetiser :)

​@@benwinter6049 I agree with you but I have forked out enough money to watch a few top comedians and I was unhappy about the amount of repeated material. I think the best solutions is to visit them at the end of the tours once they've worked out what new stuff works best. Really they should charge less for the initial gigs where 20%-30% is just rehashed material. If there's 6 or 7 comedians then it's not so bad because you're unlikely to have heard them all before and some won't have the style of repeating old material and will work half the material off the audience. Although it's more hit and miss for them as it depends how funny the audience is. Ross Noble is the best for working the audience into his act but it is obviously tough for him and his comedy isn't nearly as good with an uninteresting audience. I do find it weird the fans who seem to find everything as funny second time around, I think why didn't you just watch a DVD? and save yourself £15. When I went to see Frankie Boyle he had too much rehashed material off Mock the Week and I didn't really understand why. He was able to come up with very high quality new material based on current affairs for the show every week but reused 20%-30% of his better jokes for his personal stand up shows. I think there's a level of laziness when you've already shown your good enough to do it week upon week on a TV show and then you turn up to a gig and repeat a load of stuff. I think he must have a load of writers for the show. I know a lot of comedians have jokes that they feel are too out there and edgy for them to tell but will suggest their jokes to Jimmy Carr as he's used that as part of his routine before.

It comes up quite a lot in his podcasts and some interviews in the last 10 years. At the time, not many people liked his 11 o' Clock Show segments and found him completely unfunny. Especially when you had the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen on the show. This led to his Meet Ricky Gervais talk show which, by his own admission, was a complete failure. So, like his pop career, he failed in many ways before Stephen (having met him through radio, and needing a character to film for a BBC project) filmed Gervais as Brent. That project of Stephen's is what led to The Office. Not this.

dagnut Your initial claim was that he never talks about it. Now you are limiting it to his talking about it in interviews. If you had limited it to interviews, I'd likely not have written 'bollocks'.

Enjoyed that, surprisingly how many bits he rehashed.
