THR Emmy Roundtable: Comedy Actors
The Hollywood Reporter recently sat down with 6 Emmy-worthy comedic actors and let them discuss a number of questions.
The Hollywood Reporter: Present company excluded, who is the funniest person on TV?
Jeremy Piven: Someone like Ricky Gervais.
Brad Garrett: “The Real Housewives of New York.” That’s funny. That’s comedy. I’d actually like to start “The Real Housewives of Fairfax, Virginia.”
Jon Cryer: I am a huge Steve Carell fan. His relationship with Amy Ryan’s character on “The Office” was the one on TV that I loved the most this year. So I guess we’re just hitting “The Office” people here. Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell. Nobody else is funny.
John Krasinski: I’m going to have to go away from human soil and go into animation. I think “Family Guy” is still an incredibly funny show, if you’re talking about just gutteral laughs.
Kevin Nealon: “Flight of the Conchords” on HBO. Any show with accents I love.

Does Jeremy Piven ever stop talking?
I thought this was a JKrasi video and I thank you for putting it up, but John and other actors looked as if they were merely putting up with Piven and his ramblings.
I like Piven, but he still needs to realize, even at 45 that he doesn’t ALWAYS have to put his 2 cents in and that it doesn’t have to turn into a 5 minute rant.
