ReplyI’m continually amazed by the level of expertise on display in this thread. It’s like having access to a virtual think tank.🐱
ReplyI think every time I see Jimmy in these more long form interviews, that he is a real student of his craft, he seems like he really studies historical comedians and works hard at his stuff. He’s not just a “funny guy who tells jokes” he really has studied a lot of historical comedians, and has a process. Yet he makes it look super natural and off the cuff.
ReplyJimmy Carr is a treasure. And we still need full episodes with video, anywhere.

Replyi was lucky enough to watch him perform his 90 minutes in jakarta back in january, and what he said at 0:51 is so true. he was so quick and smooth, and it does feel like you’re getting your money’s worth because you get to hear what seems like a gajillion jokes in less than 2 hours
Replyjimmy also uses a telly prompter to keep track where he is when doing the show
ReplyMost ad reads I hear are “is your local weed dealer not hitting you up? Try our special bongs at patriot bongwater.” And Conan over here has a damn Miller Lite sponsorship.
