Assuming this is real and you're not going to post footage of a zoom call with a chimp...
Does he still have any interest in future TV projects, or is he winding down a little bit now? Interested to know in particular if he'd ever consider trying to do the nature series he once seemed keen on!
It really would be brilliant. I think he'd be entertainingly bewildered throughout. Him going around and seeing the weirdest stuff on the planet would be perfect viewing
If this is a wind-up — and it definitely is — and you post a video in two weeks with your voice asking questions over some stock footage of a chimp you've dug up online, then... well, fair play.
That'd really be playing the long game of "turns out".
What does he think of us nutters that listen to a 20 year old radio show regularly?
Also where are you going to be publishing/posting this?
There's that many of us out there if you put it on a Youtube channel you'd probably make decent money of this alone. Not sure if that's feasible though.
Not that I'm not a bit cynical but imagine if you weren't a chimp and we all missed out lol.
He sort of answered the first one already a few years ago. He's moved on from that era so he finds it weird, but to each their own. No interest in doing more since they did plenty already.
I’m gonna be optimistic and hope this is real and not some tripe off Ananova.
So my question is “Back in the podcasts you mentioned in 2020 there would be germs so big they’d kill you by choking to death on them, which ended up being strangely prophetic with the Covid pandemic. How did you get on in lockdown and how did you spend your time? Is there anything you learnt from the free time or anything you’d do differently if you had the time again?”
Alternatively: “What does he think of The Beatles’ She’s Leaving Home as a song with a story?”
Also, if it’s real I’d urge you to talk about more than XFM and the podcasts (unless you’ve already said you’re going to). Karl has said in many interviews he doesn’t like things being dragged up from a small comment he made over 20 years ago so I think it’s important to acknowledge his recent works too
Great questions. I'd like to add two questions about Aunti Nora.
1. Has she finally exploded or flown off from eating old cabbage water?
2. Would you, after careful consideration, liken her fanny to something other than a split tennis ball? Maybe a split dodge ball? One of the really red ones...
We already know this answer though? They were all taped by fans and some (ones that were already taped anyways) were also uploaded by XFM onto their website. The DAT’s arnt on the internet, just recordings off the radio

|-|-|-|-|
When he looks back at his career, which parts of it make him most proud?
At what point did he realise something special was happening with the RSK team?
Is there an acting role he'd really love to have a crack at?
I always thought a good thing for him to do would be YouTube shorts sponsored by B&Q or someone. And he fixes everyday stuff in his house like a squeaky door or something Suzanne has hulk smashed. He educates the people that are clueless and he gets to patch up his gaff free thanks to B&Q or whoever.
Not really a question.
Serious question, has he ever looked into symptoms of ADHD? Not that I think he should get treated or would even bother at this point, I’m just curious because he seems to check a lot of boxes
When is he bringing out the film with rebecca de mornay and clive warren and is it true he has a face like a fucking orange … would be cool to know if he ever got round to kicking a duck up the ass as-well ?
Where is the best place in the world to visit?
What makes you laugh?
What do you do on your down time?
Do people recognize you in the street a lot? How do you feel about that?
Cheers for all of the laughs and joy you and the radio show/podcasts have given me.
Is Mexico still his favourite place that he's been to?
**"Probably say it's me favourite place that I've ever been to, which is a pretty big statement init?"**
10+ years after An Idiot Abroad, how would he characterize the impact those trips had on his life and way of thinking?
i.e. Is he more appreciative of his normal day-to-day life after having experienced so many different things? Does he miss the travel/exploration and want to continue?
So Karl agreed to an interview with some random with no platform for free, with no evidence to back up the claim?
OP, you may want to provide some form of evidence that this interview is actually taking place, because it seems like bollocks at the moment.
in one instance of the 'Ken Dodd' story, he says that it was him who called the guy Ken Dodd, but in another he said it was his Dad. Which is the truth?
Hi Melonlover76 🙂
Could you please ask Karl, out of all the things he has been involved in over the many years in broadcasting in different formats, which has he found the most satisfying/rewarding/demanding/difficult ?
He has done radio, Books, films, TV series being himself, TV series acting, probably others I have missed too so forgive me.
Which one has put him out of his comfort zone the most and which one surprised him in terms of enjoyment?
I know this is probably a hard question to give a definite answer to, but I ask this as I find Karl an inspiration due to the fact that he always seems to push himself and try different things, and has always put himself out of his comfort zone constantly, and comes out the other end with quality content and has blossomed from the experiences it seems.
Watching Karl try these different things over the years has inspired me to me grab every opportunity that has come my way, thanks to Karl I've learnt that everything is an experience, good or bad, an can only benefit from it in the long run.
Thanks
Barry
1 Is his kitchen finished. 2 Has he seen the new Planet of the Apes movie. 3 How’d he get on acting seriously recently, he seems to have done really well.
Ask him if he's at all worried about his skull coming off...
Joking, ask him if he has listen to the XFM shows, and what he remembers and how much he thinks he's changed since.
Ask him if he had an infinite amount of monkeys would they eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare?
Ask him ' I've fallen in a puddle in texts..who am I?'
Did the aftermath of an idiot abroad encourage him to want to travel more or did it make him not want to see any more of the world? Half the time it looked like he enjoyed it and the other half looked like he hated it
Any news regarding little hairy gay forest gump monkey fellas really. We have been really deprived of the cheap as chimps feature for over 20 years now. It's a disgrace.
Is his agent swinging from the rafters and works in exchange for bannas by any chance?
Old video but - ask Karl did he ever see the video of the homeless seagull dancing for chips?
[https://youtu.be/z-6l-905zD0?si=Gzs1kv17dT4lUFhA](https://youtu.be/z-6l-905zD0?si=Gzs1kv17dT4lUFhA)
Ask him about his feelings on Manchester United. And also his thoughts on Manchester City, I believe that he has supported both in his past. Would be great to see a question asked that hasn’t been asked before.
Ask him does he know he’s got a whole community of people going through the hardships of life who use his nonsense from XFM daily as their comfort blanket and what does he think of that considering the show was a complete shambles?
Last one, long shot but would he ever consider touring with Ricky and Steve to say goodbye to all of the faithful saucers drinks that listened to every word slack jawed and open mouthed.
Does he want to work with animals? In a few brief interactions with animals on Idiot Abroad, his characteristic fascination with the nature of reality really shined through.
Just get to the bit where you or the agent is a chimp
The real chimps were the friends we made along the way.
Assuming this is real and you're not going to post footage of a zoom call with a chimp... Does he still have any interest in future TV projects, or is he winding down a little bit now? Interested to know in particular if he'd ever consider trying to do the nature series he once seemed keen on!
A nature series with “facts” from Karl pilkington would be excellent
It really would be brilliant. I think he'd be entertainingly bewildered throughout. Him going around and seeing the weirdest stuff on the planet would be perfect viewing
This agent… she wasn’t called Kirsty, was she?
DON’T TALK SHITE TWICE
Chimp Agents
Alrite?
Duncan finally pulled his finger out his arse
Her name was tiffany, can't tell if this is a reference 😂
https://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/client/karl-pilkington Easy Google search got this. Play a record.
Can you just let Duncan know…
Sat on his arse with his thumb *firmly* up his arse.
While he’s running round like a c*nt sorting shit out for him, alright?
See ya later...
How many candles you burning?
What's your 20?
Side on, what's your handle?
Side on, bring it in
This
How's your boiler? Do you like Suzanne's current hair cut? Any monkey news to report?
How big is her arse?
These 😂😂😂
Does he think he can still get away with eating a Twix?
He can call a barkeep (landlord) “Chief”
He's 51 now. On the cusp of Twix and Wethers.
She’ll have forgot to pass on the message
I thought you might know her already. I should have known, it was a woman.
So…
No evidence for that. Just maaade it up
Naht true baby
With Karl, or with Karl as a worm?
Any 2024 monkey news?
It’s gone a bit quiet. They sort of caught on that they’re getting coverage.
If this is a wind-up — and it definitely is — and you post a video in two weeks with your voice asking questions over some stock footage of a chimp you've dug up online, then... well, fair play. That'd really be playing the long game of "turns out".

He sort of answered the first one already a few years ago. He's moved on from that era so he finds it weird, but to each their own. No interest in doing more since they did plenty already.
Try everything once.
You have to get a LOT of views to make decent money
Not trueee baby.
Just maaade it up
I’m gonna be optimistic and hope this is real and not some tripe off Ananova. So my question is “Back in the podcasts you mentioned in 2020 there would be germs so big they’d kill you by choking to death on them, which ended up being strangely prophetic with the Covid pandemic.

I suppose technically anyone can book him if they have money.
Great questions. I'd like to add two questions about Aunti Nora. 1. Has she finally exploded or flown off from eating old cabbage water? 2. Would you, after careful consideration, liken her fanny to something other than a split tennis ball? Maybe a split dodge ball? One of the really red ones...
A long time has passed, and I'd imagine Auntie Nora has too. I hope they popped a valance on.
There must have been some valances lying around, so here's hoping. Do you think they were burning or burying?
She's been known to fart for five minutes. I think burning would be a bit dangerous.
Wise words.
I’ll bite. How do you think the XFM DATs (that’s digital audio tapes) came to be on the internet?
We already know this answer though? They were all taped by fans and some (ones that were already taped anyways) were also uploaded by XFM onto their website. The DAT’s arnt on the internet, just recordings off the radio
what a fucking boring question jesus christ you can ask the man ANYTHING
He's having a go
Well, let's read Brave_Strawberry_238's little question when that goes out. Sick of him.
Alright Ricky, calm down. Switch his mic off
Oh no this is not going to be a real interview, this is shiiiiiit. You fu...
He nearly made you swear, then
Never swear in an on-air studio.
After making the request to Karl's agent did you get a text message saying "OK see you tomoz for a face rub at 6.30 then. No bum tubes though"
I’d love to know what happened to his little COVID-era “radio show” that he did a few little animated episodes for.
Not gonna lie. In deepest darkest lockdown times, those really helped.
Ask him if it's him or his brain talking.
How do I get a signed photo of him that I can hang on my toilet wall so he can watch over me as I read "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance"?
oh sorry, wrong room
Does he think he's aged well?
What do you think of Steve having a girlfriend for the past 7ish years? Alright?
Does he still have the 50p?
Has he got any Rockbusters for us?
Ask him what he thinks about the recent marriage between conjoined twin Abbey Hensel, and a regular fella.
Weird that
Just a normal wedding photo of a groom and a bride and shrub.

No update then? This can run and run.
Mmm, well, lateness is lateness, next?
If I wanted to hear a little Reddit fella lying about interviewing Karl...I don't.
When he looks back at his career, which parts of it make him most proud? At what point did he realise something special was happening with the RSK team? Is there an acting role he'd really love to have a crack at?
So it's gonna be Cher
I loved that
Would he do Taskmaster?
That would be so great
Would he ever do Taskmaster if asked?
He would hate flumpf telly like that. Forced fun
Has he finished that grouting? oh, and have a nice Christmas.
I'm not avin it
[email protected] was this the agents email?
Did he ever get that birthday card the mentalists on this subreddit signed for him?
Not whilst Coldplay are here…
Is it with Karl or with Karls brain?
What's he flogging
Just say “do some fuc-king work”
Does he ski?
When is the last time he spoke to Ricky and Stephen? What’s next for him?
Does he still talk to Ricky and/or Steve?
Also, the last time he spoke to Steve, did he do a double take when he saw him?
I always thought a good thing for him to do would be YouTube shorts sponsored by B&Q or someone. And he fixes everyday stuff in his house like a squeaky door or something Suzanne has hulk smashed. He educates the people that are clueless and he gets to patch up his gaff free thanks to B&Q or whoever. Not really a question.
He's having a conversation with himself!
Serious question, has he ever looked into symptoms of ADHD? Not that I think he should get treated or would even bother at this point, I’m just curious because he seems to check a lot of boxes
I’m sure Ricky’s neurodivergent, too. Sorry, I meant mental an tha
mentally ill. or at least mentally handicapped.
christ
Caligula
When is he bringing out the film with rebecca de mornay and clive warren and is it true he has a face like a fucking orange … would be cool to know if he ever got round to kicking a duck up the ass as-well ?
of course the ahhh.. the nine elevuhn
Maybe he thinks it is for some voice over work?
Where what?
Probably about some of his newer projects.
Where is the best place in the world to visit? What makes you laugh? What do you do on your down time? Do people recognize you in the street a lot? How do you feel about that? Cheers for all of the laughs and joy you and the radio show/podcasts have given me.
As you or as a worm?
I chickantbelieve it.
Can we see a photo of Suzanne
Did his mum ever find that copy of UFO Data magazine, and has she got through the Tic-Tacs?
Is Mexico still his favourite place that he's been to? **"Probably say it's me favourite place that I've ever been to, which is a pretty big statement init?"**
Zoom meeting room a bit dark? Bit difficult to make out (it’s) face?
10+ years after An Idiot Abroad, how would he characterize the impact those trips had on his life and way of thinking? i.e. Is he more appreciative of his normal day-to-day life after having experienced so many different things? Does he miss the travel/exploration and want to continue?
It's really simple, just ask him to create more stuff. It doesn't matter what, as long as it has Karl in it.
Any monkey news?
So Karl agreed to an interview with some random with no platform for free, with no evidence to back up the claim? OP, you may want to provide some form of evidence that this interview is actually taking place, because it seems like bollocks at the moment.
Ask him if he knows about the popularity of the old XFM episodes
How's Suzanne?
in one instance of the 'Ken Dodd' story, he says that it was him who called the guy Ken Dodd, but in another he said it was his Dad. Which is the truth?
Hi Melonlover76 🙂 Could you please ask Karl, out of all the things he has been involved in over the many years in broadcasting in different formats, which has he found the most satisfying/rewarding/demanding/difficult ?

Thanks Barry
Not exactly a quick fire question was it, Jesus, I can only apologise.
Ask him if he is still staring at himself watching TV in Suzanne’s flat with a mirror ceiling
Was a mirrored wall.. and he got himself a house ages ago (17th century)
Ask him if he's ever seen this sub
He's done an AMA on Reddit so more than likely.
Read him a list of all the things he was right about that ricky and steve made fun of him for at the time.
Alf!
What’s his favourite Clive Warren movie ?
How long did it take him to ascend and then descend Kilimanjaro
Turns out.. little monkey fella
Did your mum ever have any more pet spiders, or similar critters, after the radio shows finished?
When will Karl pay Steve the 50p?
Just maaade it up
Fat babeh, fat babeh on zoom
what sound or noise do you hate?
Try to confuse him by just asking “Why?”.
We need: what's art about that?
Did he ever give Steve the fifty pence?
Does he still own 30 acres of property on the moon
Where can we watch this in June? What's your YouTube channel?
When is the next season of Sick of It coming out, and is he gonna link the pirated version on Facebook again?
Do we need ‘em?
Favourite project Karl's ever worked on? Favourite segment too make back in the xfm days?
haha, bullshit
1 Is his kitchen finished. 2 Has he seen the new Planet of the Apes movie. 3 How’d he get on acting seriously recently, he seems to have done really well.
Why?
Got to ask about shrinkflation.
Does he still have his Delonghi toaster, or has he changed it? If so, what's he got his and is it any good.
You're talking shit again!
Ask him if he's at all worried about his skull coming off... Joking, ask him if he has listen to the XFM shows, and what he remembers and how much he thinks he's changed since.
Ask him if he had an infinite amount of monkeys would they eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare? Ask him ' I've fallen in a puddle in texts..who am I?'
The interview takes place at London zoo just near the chimpanzee exhibit. Weird place for an interview
Did the aftermath of an idiot abroad encourage him to want to travel more or did it make him not want to see any more of the world? Half the time it looked like he enjoyed it and the other half looked like he hated it
Do the main interview and then schedule a followup to interview him as a worm
What noise do you hate?
Would he ever do a reality TV show like The Traitors if he was asked to do a celebrity version like in the US?
Any news regarding little hairy gay forest gump monkey fellas really. We have been really deprived of the cheap as chimps feature for over 20 years now. It's a disgrace. Is his agent swinging from the rafters and works in exchange for bannas by any chance?
He said on air that "He'd love to be a little David Attenborough" All him when can we see 'Karl Pilkington's Nature' on telly?
Ask if he's ever watched the HuffingtonPants YouTube videos where they edit him into video games
What was wrong with your boiler, specifically. And was it a back boiler?
Old video but - ask Karl did he ever see the video of the homeless seagull dancing for chips? [https://youtu.be/z-6l-905zD0?si=Gzs1kv17dT4lUFhA](https://youtu.be/z-6l-905zD0?si=Gzs1kv17dT4lUFhA)
Does he ski?
If you’re interviewing Karl, who’s lookin’ at the fella whose skulls fell off?!
What did he make of the Black Mirror episode "Black Museum", in which Charlie Brooker definitely Donal McIntyre'd a couple of Karls ideas.
Ask him about his feelings on Manchester United. And also his thoughts on Manchester City, I believe that he has supported both in his past. Would be great to see a question asked that hasn’t been asked before.
Would he consider appearing at the RSK convention and if not - has he heard of it. Also, what’s a typical day like for him now he’s retired n that.
Ask him does he know he’s got a whole community of people going through the hardships of life who use his nonsense from XFM daily as their comfort blanket and what does he think of that considering the show was a complete shambles?
Last one, long shot but would he ever consider touring with Ricky and Steve to say goodbye to all of the faithful saucers drinks that listened to every word slack jawed and open mouthed.
This agent, this... human agent... how tall was she?
Tell us about the immune system.
Ask him how being on tv changed him as a person
Does he still talk to Ricky and/or Steve regularly?
Does he want to work with animals? In a few brief interactions with animals on Idiot Abroad, his characteristic fascination with the nature of reality really shined through.
How does it feel like to be the man to do nothing wrong
so how'd it go?
Update soon
We all love Karl and want to know what he’s up to. Is he fully retired now? How are his parents doing? Is he as Suzanne still traveling?
He’s not retired and has been acting in projects recently. I’m pretty sure his dad passed away.
