Talking Funny

Talking Funny is the HBO special where four comedy legends - Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K. sit down for a discussion of what it means to be funny. These four comedians have lived and breathed comedy for most of their lives, and sit down to discuss the craft with each other, without a set schedule or moderator or anything holding them back.

Chris Rock also came up in the stand-up world, going on to star in Saturday Night Live and tons of movies. Ricky Gervais is an English comedian coming to us from across the pond, who is best known for creating The Office and the popular podcast The Ricky Gervais Show. Lastly there's Louis C.K., a stand-up comedian, Emmy-winning writer and actor who doesn't pull any punches in his comedy. Join in as the guys discuss the craft and what it means to be a comedian. From turning simple ideas into signature jokes, to embracing profanity, pleasing audiences and more, these comedians let it all out in this candid conversation between four of the best in the biz, in HBO's special Talking Funny.
