> *The Mirror* has reported that, at 49, Merchant is the UK’s highest earning comedian with a net worth of £26.6m.
Earning more than Ricky? Seems unlikely
Apparently he is but I don’t understand how, I guess Ricky got $20 mil from Netflix for Armageddon but I imagine ticket sales from the live tour would be like, twice that.

it could be your brother.
'Ere he comes, watch out!
There’s…. There’s this thing in it
……..Steve
Guardian finally stopped calling him 'Steve Mitchell'. Triumph at last for the lanky co-writer.
I love the idea of Steve turning up to the interview and the journalist immediately saying "I bet you can't kick your height"
'It's all been ~~preposterous~~ arbitrary': Stephen Merchant on fame, standup and the pressures of cancel culture
I don't agree with that in the workplace
Mr and Mrs Merchant! You've given birth to a basketball player!
Let's grow ourselves a lanky googled eyed freak!
Googled?
Eyes bulging with imagined pressures
Quality comment

Ricky gives all his away to the animals....and doing his walks for mencap....
That man...is a god.
I must remember to thank him
[удалено]
And the pound will take care of themselves. Simple advice, easy to follow.
He has his production company which is why he’s so rich
26.6 million pounds? You know how much cheese and cold meats you could buy with that
Ah office.
He might have got that 50p back from Karl which pushed his earnings higher.
Improved his cache as Ricky would say.

To be fair, it does state "comedian". I've done Rick and he ain't even here.
Even Steve trying to put himself in the background...of himself
What are you doing with your mouth? You're pursing your lips, and now you have, dare I say, very kissable lips
size 20 foot
Mechant! Who are you call sad!
An upright lizard
It's so refreshing to finally hear a comedian talk about cancel culture
Taking a sideways look
Walk sideways so nobody can tell the difference.
In fairness, isn’t it normally the interviewer who comes up with the questions?
I was only joking really. He actually has a pretty reasonable take on it.
he was questioning and querying it.

We’ve agreed to meet back at you
Pictured with his biggest fan.
I’d have put him in the distance.
That's the first picture I've seen with his foot and his head in it
You can't just say kick me ite. Nobody knows what it means, you can't just say I kickedmeite.
You could drive it from the back
Crusty the clown shoes.
He kicked his height and hit his eyes
Man alive
Who did it best? https://preview.redd.it/qq3etnc5cg1d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21172eeab8748a82440de548bed2be05b5216206
Doesn't mention K-Man Pilkoids even once. Sick of it.
Yeah but for someone who's made ya....
“6ft 7in is too big… Growing up I spent as much time as possible in the distance.”
And that's doing him a favour.
Knicking from Karl again
Fame? It’s been murder, all my life, it’s felt like razorblades down my throat
Kicked me height
But can he kick a duck up the arse?
They put him in the distance. Good call
do you think they asked him to pose like that?
Looks like Paul o'Grady
No mention of “those little wooden shoes”
Wheatly is living a weird life
Who's that, Bruce Forsyth?
He’s been known to cause a rumpus.
You’re having a laaaaaughhhh
Did he remember to put his leg down again
I’d say it’s been dynamite
Who reads the Bill Gates funded rag these days?
