    The way Ricky's face lights up every time someone roasts him just warms my heart. This man is a slave to comedy. He can't help it. lol
  • @wanderlust3292
    When Ricky laughs, he looks like the cheeriest vampire ever šŸ˜‚
  • @Raven.flight
    I love the relationship between these two. Colbert can accept Ricky's atheism, and Ricky can accept Colbert's faith. We should all be like that.
  • @belle.m
    Love that they can both joke and not take things too seriously. Stephen doesnā€™t get offended at Rickyā€™s atheism, Ricky doesnā€™t get offended when Stephen roasts him. Mutual respect.
  • @darkwyve
    Their stark contrast in beliefs combined with the ability to respect one another intellectually, and have a great sense of humor about it, makes them talk show gold!
  • @Graymaven90
    I think Colbert finds the fact Ricky doesn't like Lord of the Rings more offensive than the fact he's an atheist.
  • "there's no comparison between 200 vs 200 million people at home", my god that's a genius standup comic/writer right there.
  • @sourinbasu5277
    That Mr. Universe joke was so well-timed that even the audience took a couple of seconds to get it
  • @MMLEW95
    Ricky sipping his drink after ā€œseems a bit far-fetched to meā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚the shaaaade

    "Same with Mr. Universe, always comes from earth." šŸ˜‚
  • @MrDanroberts09
    What I like about Ricky is that when he clicks with someone he genuinely finds them funny and isn't afraid to be funny people rather than being insecure.
  • @AdventureJenny
    This is one of my favorite interview's ever. Their banter is fantastic. And I just adore Ricky's laugh.
  • These two bounce off each other so well. I'd happily watch a full show of them just bantering
  • @beatz04
    Refreshing to see a celebrity almost forgetting to promote his new thing because he's more interested in an actual conversation.
  • I love Ricky Gervais, he's one of the few celebrities that doesn't hide his true beliefs, he is him, no matter who's watching. A genuine human being
  • @SN-sz7kw
    ā€œSounds a bit far fetched to me.ā€ Sums up my 12 years of childhood Catholic education. Sure wish I could have casually tossed that at my parents over the breakfast table as I tucked into my pancakes. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  • @Oners82
    To save any LOTR fans time, the title is completely misleading as LOTR barely gets a mention. Colbert: I like Tolkien, why don't you? Gervais: It's nonsense. End of discussion on Tolkien.
  • @igrojikku2212
    Stephen Colbert is one of the few Americans who understands and loves to participate in genuine British banter and one of the few who can with the Brits šŸ¤£šŸ˜­
  • 2 totally different backgrounds and worldviews. Much love and respect for each other. There's a lesson to be had with these two
