please welcome Ricky Gervais [Applause] I get out here [Applause] fantastic to have you here Mac we've been talking about the new Baywatch movie III I thought I would ask you who I was - who are you on the beach oh I don't know Oh God okay I don't do beaches anymore I don't I don't like soldiers I used to when I was younger sit around trying to get a tan but it's just so boring now and I can't stand people so I don't want to go to a beach what would you say your perfect comfort zone where's that sitting at home in my pants getting drunk that's every night though this is a nice change very doubt needs to be addressed no idea of a night out is a night in honestly if someone like they say I'll we're in town for a couple of days you're on dinner I go okay all right and they say I got eight six o'clock I want to be I want to be owned by eight o'clock you're sure that you're touring with now is called humanity it is indeed and and I I wonder are you an optimist on behalf of humanity I think so I think I'm an optimist in general I think everything would be okay you know you try your best and I think it'd probably be okay in the long run am I not just for Humanity I don't know you know all joking aside I think I've probably lived through the best 50 years of humanity 1965 to 2015 reach the peak of civilization on everything on freedoms on you know communication on tolerance on medicine and now it's sort of taken it downward turn this last year hasn't been so good there's always been and it's true you know my opinion is worth as much as your opinion but people started thinking that my opinion was worth as much as your fact and that's just not true and that came from people finding their groups and on social media they found their mobs they found comfort with like-minded people and it was like it was like two armies isn't this it actually we're talking about Julian Assange with which is one one part of I mean freedom of expression let's call it that if for some people would say he is the beacon their social media is another part of that what social media is another form of communication another outlet you know only amplifies things you can't say oh this is terrible there are idiots on Twitter but they're idiots on the high street you've got to go there you know probably at the same percentage it's just that now people feel that I have a voice right most people people wouldn't say wouldn't say things to you in the street they would on Twitter look at you I know you used to have you have in London I don't know if you still have it but you have this Hyde Park Corner where people stood on boxes so yeah spoke yeah it's great but everyone but now we all got those boxes but they've always boxes exactly unpeople that used to be almost like a bit of a tourist attraction because they were mad sorry no one dibs on about in the high part and says something that's true they usually say the end is nigh or the aliens are coming that's why I'm wearing tin foil and this is like no one's going around they know you know that there's there's a forum for everything and most people feel that they haven't got that forum and now they have now everyone's at everyone's a critic everyone's a blogger everyone's a journalist you know and and it all it does is just it just amplifies it Twitter is like being able to read every toilet wall in the world [Applause] okay do you have do you have an erotic side yeah what what is that what is that but what can make your neuropathy um noises but you know it comes to cut a long story short I know what it comes down to now it comes down to me being a complete control freak because in our your God in our you can be a complete fascist you know and but you can't do that in normal life so I walk into a restaurant and I think when that chairs in the wrong place where they put the air conditioning their own editorial I think that I someone can be in soup I'll go we're moving you know noises anything so noisy eater what me go oh noisy as people whistling for no reason if anything can just ruin my daddy with a mouth on oh yeah I know it's my phobia I know it's mine you OC but it doesn't make it any better I just think I know I'm not allowed to go will you stop fucking eating like that so I have to leave I know it's my problem right so I want to be in control were you happy before you begin what you are today yeah I suppose I'm I've always been happy I know I was born a very working-class there we didn't have any money I was the youngest of four my dad was a labourer mum was a housewife but everyone was in the same boat I didn't sit around feeling sorry for myself I didn't think this is all doing them I never sat around thinking oh when am I going to become an international comedian you know I just thought I hope I don't die on the way to school people recognize you and you of course all over the world are you aware of it all the time not so much from the very beginning you know when I first came to London he was my first plane ride was to Los Angeles first of all and then my then I came to London and I didn't realize what you know what the popularity of the show was and he put it all together eventually but you know and people are pretty cool to me I never really did not except for the Falcon back home except my on fire so he was making never you never have a baby this is not a sole person you want to deal with he wasn't a sneaky stalker like normal first couple of years he is like a man following you naked he's mental did you a favor that I think what do you mean what he was chaste not JC just walking by oh no I need no no no he came into hotel and he let my room on fire and then he talked about for him and I and World War II was a little moisture and I was on his show I came back to the hotel was evacuated because he had broke into the room to the adjoining door so it's coming back how many oil discovered no oil no what in it lemonade so this going so fans filling up four days in jail for days in jail so how old was he oh this guy hunts like 40 boys also he checked in so town knowing you're back yes he found your thumb in the hallway the other day before he said come to my room in English so that's why the police were like oh no he knew you who knew who you were and then he broke into a room when you were not there right that's something that I faced yeah ok I lit it on fire lit it on fire why would he do that I don't know I don't know I don't think you think indeed I know what he's doing now I don't know I don't know whether there's a stalker and awesomeness but he has a bed if anything that's a Denali crime can I do in ten minutes I like about it is he's not even a very good stalker Mizzy west right she's out you know that's a powerful stalker she's coming back how did you know it was naked someone found in that well I saw pictures another police officers there but they took him and they had to wrap them in plastic to bring him out and he was 64 refresh so this is the four year old man who sees you in the hall and says we checked in yeah but it was a probably a longer story but yes he ended up getting in time he said Oh surround off a watch I mean how could i impress her right wait as he goes out for startup then I start my plan all I need is matches so old I think so then he went into your room to rejoin the door so did he know so we knew melted that are yet hey Birds a door but he had that room next door presumably yeah I know you got to the next door right yeah he set the room on fire Oh thorough on the way why did he what do i do set the room apart just cuz it matters I think it was loud yeah like blazed up you talk I think you like on camera right he was covered in oil yes listen people do horrendous things to be famous it's ludicrous it's absolutely ludicrous so are you are you I do have the self-awareness that when you're like in the restaurants as I mentioned you you need to be especially polite to get tip well yeah you can honestly telling being famous for me is like believing in God I think everyone everyone a fight you know someone's watching you see you know me so yeah I'm always but I'm very aware that people people someone came up to me the other day in a restaurant I'm in the restaurant this usually safe restaurants people respect that right and someone came up to me like that's right I'm sitting there and they just came up with their phone everyone's got a camera they swing list they wins in art and alter the secret one as well would you see people at that they've just got their phone like that I want to go up why you doing just ask you can have a selfie you can have a picture and you have to be polite and just still have to be polite because it's on filming it yeah lose it because that's what you know that's what they want particularly the paps they want you to do so much yes you know you don't give them what they want Ricky Gervais thank you so much thank you [Applause] [Music]
