This is an example of what AI will never be able to do. A uniquely human conversation, an exchange of deep thought, with two individuals bouncing ideas and personal experiences off one another. If we lose this to an automated, inhuman, society, we will cease to exist as a species.

Clive James, one of life’s joys to watch and listen to. His conversational style of pulling interest from others was golden.

Sadly missed Clive.

Was I glad to watch this.  RIP Clive.  Thanks.

I could listen to Fry all day

"The very fact that I find things wonderful, I find wonderful."

Magnificent

I hope discussions like this come back

Fascinating hearing the banter and characterizations about Americans and the class assumptions that surround being an American. As an undergraduate in the 1980s, I read history/politics at Oxford for a year and in college and the commons room it seemed the British students relished paling around with the Yanks, us regular Joes (despite us attending posh colleges back at home), even the town-and-gown pubs wanted to hire Yanks to work part time pulling pints and doubling as bouncers. In the interconnected world of the Internet and social media one wonders if it has all changed?

Remember the old school talk shows (not "chat" shows) where the interviewer would delve deep into the character of the guest? I would like to see a talk show hosted by Stephen Fry. Not just because he would ask fascinating questions, but perhaps more that guests would want to open up to him and reveal themselves.

Two geniuses.

Stephen Fry is at the very top of my Dream Dinner Party Guest List, I would sell both kidneys and rent my bourbon-battered liver to a wino for one long evening's chat with Mr. Fry. Just absolutely adore him and have done for thirty years.

Wonderful!!

why should a person who just wants love and wonder  also not think  that this life means nothing  because   the evidence is one that tells us we are the same as  nothing

Stephen's idea of republicans is very different than Americans version of republicans, they are almost the complete opposite of American republicans.

Quality stuff…

2 girls havin a chat !....how sweet

OH WHY SO BRIEF ???

It's a lower middle class country now, Stephen.

Clive is having some serious problems with not stopping talking here...   :/

What did he mean by the W word? In my world that would mean either white or WASP,, but since he is from England and he is educated I'm not going to assume that. I paid attention to what this guy has to say ever since supposedly he stood up for the rights of an a**** racist for his free speech, he disagreed with this guy's personal views but he's still stood up for the guys rights. Also he was cool on Bones and his series of 50 states, where he drove in all of them , that was awesome. Thank you for the video, thumbs up.
