In 2020 C5 made a documentary about Michael McIntyre called Michael McIntyre: In His Own Words
125 minutes long it was looking back over his career and broadcast on January 1st 2021. By the look of the descriptions on various websites this seems to have been something put together without Michael’s input. It includes footage of him, apparently, but not newly created interview material.
Jimmy featured in the form of BFQ footage. In the Big Fat Quiz of The Year 2010 (actually broadcast on January 3rd 2011) Michael was on a team with Alan Carr and he’s shown “debating” something with Jimmy.
In person contributions included:
- Jonathan Ross
- Eamonn Holmes
- Marcus Brigstocke
- Paul Tonkinson
- Lady Colin Campbell
- Rob Rinder
- Kate Copstick
- Andi Osho
In this Independent story of an interview with Jonathan (which I presume is referring to a clip in this show) he talks about how his then agent (Addison Cresswell) told a fib to get MM on the Royal Variety in 2006.
Jonathan was being asked to host the show and Cresswell said only if “Jonathan’s favourite comedian of the moment” could be on the bill.
Jonathan had no idea of this and so a bit of fast talking got Michael his big break.
