I may have to look into these. I don't think I've really watched any of their stuff.

If so, he's on my list of favorites.

Definitely! I always used to watch league of their own when he hosted that.

Speaking of Rowan atkinson, did you ever watch blackadder? If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. But maybe watch from the second season onwards, as the first wasn't great.
I love James Corden.

He's hilarious with carpool karaoke, when driving to work with different celebrities as passengers. I completely forgot about Blackadder, that's also quite funny. I haven't watched It since the 80s.

To be honest, I don't remember much about It.

It was over 30 years ago since I watched It last. Due to the nature of my computing tasks, It doesn't look like I'll fire up the TV anytime soon.

That's fair! I heard some rumours that it may come back one day. There's been a few interviews with the cast members, where they're neither confirming nor denying haha.

I love James Corden too! I always listen to him while cooking something

If It makes a comeback, It'll be so Interesting to see how It compares to the original.

At 66 years of age, I assume Rowan Atkinson's performance will vary to some degree. Hopefully for the better.

I've been a huge fan of stand up all of my life.  There are some great recommendations already in the thread, but I'll offer this:  Since Covid killed stand-up comedy, there are a few comedians that decided to find new outlets to practice their craft rather than wait for the world to allow large groups in tightly packed rooms again.  The person I find to be the clear best at this new way of making people laugh is Tim Dillon.

His twitter, youtube/instagram videos/skits, and his podcast are worth taking a look at.  The dude is hilarious and he puts out twice as much content as anyone else doing it nowadays.

I've watched each and every Mr. Bean episode many times over, and still find them hilarious.

Thanks man, I just spent the last 3 hours watching Bean clips.  The bit with him in church has always been one of the funniest skits of all time to me.

It's great to read you enjoyed It as much as I did, and still do.

Although I haven't watched It In quite a while, I still remember the scene you've mentioned. Hilarious to say the least.
