Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Louis C.K., and Ricky Gervais

What witchcraft is this!? Ricky Gervais invites Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Louis C.K. to a round-table discussion on comedy. The video is one part entertainment and one part education, and every bit worth seeing if you enjoy some, most, or all of these men. I planned to watch the first five minutes but ended up staying for the whole damn thing.

Spoiler: show
Gervais allows his laughter to get out of control a couple of times. Made me feel a bit embarrassed for the guy by the end of it. ^^; But it's good to see that he had a fun time with these living comedy legends.

It was very interesting to observe the hierarchy here, one which became pretty clear almost immediately. On top you have Seinfeld, the veteran of the group and by all accounts the most successful. Next you have Chris Rock, the second oldest veteran (by years in the business). You could definitely tell that both of the two less experienced comedians revered these two as their seniors whereas they treated one another with more mutual respect. Third on the totem pole was Louis C.K., who many would say is the #1 hottest comedian of the past ten years. And finally rounding off the group in last place is Gervais, who throughout the interview seemed to be effacing himself as the greenhorn of the group, genuinely seeking advice from each of the three other men and frequently speaking of himself and his act as though he were still only just figuring things out. It makes sense, though: Gervais is the newest one to stand-up, and I think his stand-up shows have been more frigidly received a) than he would have liked and b) than his fellow young'un Louis' have been.
