Billy Connolly Answers Your Questions | ASK BILLY

"When I was a comedian" No Billy you always have been and always will be the most natural comedian, you are what makes people smile and it's something nobody can take away from you.

Billy looks amazing for an 80 year old with Parkinson's. For years he's hardly had a line on his face. Long live the big yin! 🥰

It's a priviledge for us to still have this man with us. And a joy he is getting to live the long life he deserves. All the words overused are truly applicable to him. Unique, icon, legend.

'It's not important who you don't like... it's important who you like.' - This is perfect. He is a bard.

My wife and I are huge fans of Billy. We bought our first house in 2007 (which we could barely afford) around the same time Billy was playing a local town. Tickets to the gig were not an option on our wages at the time and the venue sold out almost instantly anyway, but in a moment of madness, I paid triple the price online for a pair of tickets so we could go. We struggled over the following couple of months as a result of my spontaneity but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Billy makes me happy, just hearing his voice makes me smile 😁

"I would like to come to your house.................and steal things" 😛 Made me chuckle. Thanks Billy.

Billy is the sweetest, funniest, most gracious soul. I love his artwork.

Just thanks Billy. Cheers - you have made me/us smile for 40 or 50 or 60 years. Your humanity is humbling and inspiring and everyone knows it. God Bless you and thanks again.

Billy makes me cry! He is beautifully innapropriate and so full of life. His stories are the best. He is an amazingly talented tour de force. The world is a better place for Billy. 😊

Used to listen to Billy’s cassettes when I was too young to do so as a kid in the 70’s. Always got caught giggling under the covers, when I should have been sleeping. Got in trouble at school for singing The Shitkickers Waltz in early Primary School. My life/sense of humour, would not have been the same without this man.

From one lone Scotsman in south Australia, I've been a fan of your's for near on 40 years. WE ALL LOVE YOU BILLY CONNOLLY!!! God bless, huge hugs Biguin.

That was lovely to watch. Seeing the true Billy pushing through. To those behind the scenes who made this happen. Thank you.

You still are a comedian Billy. The greatest

The best Scottish Icon everyone in Scotland will be upset when this man sadly passes but we need to be grateful at his age we still have him

Who doesn’t love Billy? He inspires me to be positive always. Especially when you’re surrounded by negativity. Positivity will save the world. ❤

Warmth, positivity and laughter at a time when the world is seemingly collapsing around us. The world needs more Billies and fewer Tories.

Ahh Billy, for 40 years I have always cheered me up with every you have done, from standup to your tours. Your stories are captivating, amazing and so hilarious. Bless you my friend, go well. ❤

I don't have a question for Billy. I just want him to know his humour and craziness got me through many sad and unhappy times in my life. I have loved him like a very best friend for many years and to see him today answering questions brought the smile back to my face. it was because of Billy's humour that I learned to laugh out loud. Before I would just smile. Thank you so much Billy, I will love you always. 💖💖💖🦘🦘🦘

I have been privileged enough to have seen Billy live 3 times when he has visited New Zealand and each time, to borrow a quote from him, I thought I would need an ambulance. No one has made me laugh to the point of stomach cramps, like he has. Love ya Bill.

Billy taught me to swear properly and for that I will forever be grateful ❤

Billy is one of the greatest storytellers of the modern age, our generation's Mark Twain. We are lucky to have him.

Billy looks well , glad to see ! Great idea answering people’s questions on computer! He looks happy talking to them about his life adventures good on yeh billy all the best

I know im not the only one but I'd give my back teeth the shake that blokes hand. Made an impact on my childhood. Good on you Billy, top bloke.

One of the truly funniest comedian I have witnessed live. Good to see him looking so well. A true British treasure. God bless, Billy.

"I'm glad you live in Kangaroo's Pickpocket. I love Australia" That bit cracked me up.

The saddest thing here “when I was a comedian”……. You, Sir Billy, will ALWAYS be my favourite comedian. Absolute legend

It's a joy to see Billy chatting and laughing. Long may it continue!

The joke I’d like Billy to draw is the incontinence trousers on the night out dancing and asking his dance partner what her star sign is - it still cracks me up today 😂

Hes such a great guy. You can tell he has warmth in his heart. You're a comedian always Billy :)

Some of my happiest memories are my entire family in the sitting room laughing uproariously at Billy's stand up on VHS. We were truly blessed to have him in our home.

Billy might have missed the mark about his jokes becoming air. I'm sure everyone here has quite a few of his jokes burnt into their memories. They stay with you for a lifetime.

My hero. This was a joy to watch. I hope he does more of these.

I love you Mr. Connolly, I am going to pray that you live forever and when you do leave this world, I hope that I meet up with you! ❤️🇨🇦From Nova Scotia referred to as New Scotland. Happy drawing, keep keeping it real! 🌍😂 16:50

So happy to see Billy❤ I love that he's continued to be creative and still spreading joy in his inimitable way❤❤❤

I love the way his brain works, as well as the fact he's still very much still with us. Heres hoping he is with us for a long time yet.

Billy, you aren't a 'past' comedian, you are a 'current' comedian. I regale some of your best sketches to none the wiser (but always give credit to you) foreign friends. No-one will ever have the delivery you have though, or do justice to it! Sorry for the loss of your Brother Parkie. Live long and prosper big yin.

Good to see ya Billy, all the best and thanks :)

He’s my favourite comedian of all time. I think he’s absolutely fantastic! It’s lovely to see him smiling still. What an absolute legend! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I've so much love for the Big Yin. Billy deserves every last ounce of adulation that comes his way. He has been a part of my families life since the 70's. I can remember many nights spent with my parents watching Billy on tv making us all laugh. It was my happy place! It's great to see him looking and doing so well still. The world is a much better place because Billy Connolly exists.

Love the bum on the face image 😂 too adorable. I’ve loved catching up with you Billy, you’re looking fabulous btw. I think you may be inspiring me to start drawing or painting a little again. Thank You ❤x

We all love you, Sir Billy

I love this man with all my heart! A man who can just speak and you feel the joy for life and everything it holds!

I was invited by my parents to a Billy Connolly show at The Forum Theatre, Waterford, Ireland, maybe 25 years ago & my parents took exception to the penis jokes (the woolly trousers) & left with my sister - I stayed until the end, laughed my arse off. In one moment I thought to myself, when will I ever get to see the Big Yin again? I was given the silent treatment after, we were supposed to all go out to dinner together - they dropped me home and pealed out and went for dinner without me. F√¢k 'em 😂 So glad I stayed to this day, thank God I did. All the great TV series, the appearances on Parky's TV show, the appearances on Late Late Show with Gay Byrne. You're the best to ever do it. Thanks for the laughs! Love ya Billy!!!💕

The bare bum story made my mouth go small for a second and then I realised- it’s Billy, behave. Absolute legend I’ve adored since the 80s. This was wonderful to watch ❤

Big Yin. Absolute legend.

“When I was a comedian” ❤️😂❤️ Big Yin, you’re Billy fkn Connolly, inspiration and genuine Everyman. You’re very dear to us.

I was less than ten years old and my sister even younger when my parents took us to see Billy (the first time) at the Adelaide Festival Theatre. He was wearing banana boots and walked out on stage in a leotard and said can ye see it? Well even as children that was just hysterical! I just love you "Big un"!

You are SO special! Thank you SO much for al the JOY you''''''ve given so freely to all of us!

Nice to see you Billy, as sharp as ever. Im pleased that the creative part fo you is still going in another form. We could see you when you were on the stage , and now we can hang you in our homes where you continue to make us smile.

I absolutely ADORE this man! I am from Greenock Scotland & his humour and everything about him is so relateable....fantastic human being..!!! ❤

Such a lovely guy . I am 59 & have admired his humour since my teens. Will definitely look up his artwork now - such a talented man.

Love Billy. Loved this. I really like what he said about not disliking any artists - that's our Billy! xxx

there's not enough words to describe the joy Billy brings to people who love him. Thank you Billy for everything you have done over the many years. I have laughed until it hurt......

A wonderful man!! His wilderbeast joke is still my favourite 😂😂 xx

Having discovered Billy about 15 years ago might have literally saved my life. He made me laugh when I was going through a bad stage in my life.❤

That was brilliant. Billy is as entertaining as ever. Thanks for the many many laughs Billy.

Love yer lovely Sir Billy connolly this was great to see you. ❤❤❤❤❤😂😊😊

Such a wise man, who has spent many a moment with his thoughts. An absolute treasure of this Earth he is.

awww yes that's right our beloved lions Agnes and Betty, love you so much Billy decades of joy given to the whole family. Love you and hope the best for you, Pam and all the family x

Billy’s love for life is infectious

Billy is a brilliant human . One of the last of an ancient breed. I love this man ..

I was watching this with the sound off reading closed captions but I could hear exactly how he sounds. Such a distinctive voice. Love it. Terrific man.

I'm an Englishman with a welsh surname and a Scottish Granny...Quintessentially British. Loved watching Billy my whole life, a Real British Legend and as genuine as the day is long. So wish I could afford a BC painting 🖼

Just watching Billy answering these question and saying how happy he is has made me happy too. Thank you Billy, be well 🌹

Billys jokes will never dissappear, to this day I still refer to his jokes in various situations I've been in or experienced because they were so relatable in normal life. A gent and an absolute legend!

There are no words really to describe how wonderful this man is. My whole life he has made me laugh and his books are brilliant and transport me to a world my parents knew

7:13 Omg, I nearly choked. Especially remembering a special Billy did over 10 years ago where he was naked on his trike at the end of it. 😂 Billy is a global treasure!

Billy's jokes join the aether as permanent monuments to his genius. His line, 'The desire to become a politician should automatically exclude you from ever becoming one' has stayed with me for decades! And a mate of mine just announced he is standing for his local council! Did I have to bite my tongue to not have the Big Yin's words flying out!

My absolute hero, the funniest person to ever exist. Love you Billy.

As a former 80's and 90's kid, there was only one man allowed to swear in the house and it was you Billy. If I could give you a mere chuckled in return, could always buy a Giraffe and paint it brown, Now that's a high horse to be on!

So good to see Billy. Thank you for giving us so much of yourself.

Great guy Billy, he looks great and so happy xxx

Ahh Billy, you are the spitting image of your self....... Good to see you Mate.

I adored Billy’s USA trip videos, in fact all of his travel videos. He’s a wonderful man

i love Billy so much. so many years laughing at his stuff. saw him in Vancouver a few years back and he was absolutely brilliant. hes a gem.

We love you Billy xx

This is brilliant. I briefly met Billy in Sydney, Australia in '93 and I will never for get it. I saw him walking, the hair flowing madly and it took me ages to catch up to him and thankfully I got to say Thank You. Thank You Billy.

Absolutely adore & appreciate you Billy! 💚

I adore Billy. A genuinely funny and musically talented man.

Seeing billy looking well makes me happy

Such wonderful wise words of wisdom how brilliant is Billy 🤗. You are a true treasure Billy and so generous with your time with others. Bless you xx

Typical Billy.. even with his illness and disabilities he can still go on some mad tangent with his storys. Absolute legend of a man. ❤

Absolutely loved to hear about Agnes. I had no idea it was a one off. When I was around 14/15 I got taken to see him in the Kings where he did it live. I remember roaring with laughter until I was sore. Billy is just incredible. He's beyond a national hero.

He's one of a kind. I could listen to him speak all day long and never tire. Despite his illness' and any difficulty, he's stayed just as mischievous and eloquent too. I know Parkinson's is slowing his body down, but my God it hasn't slowed anything else down at all has it? He's as humble as day one, and he's still creating for the joy and fun of creation! ❤

Love him so much, will be a very sad day when he passes away. The grandad I never had

Glad to see he's alright! Never laughed so hard in my life, thanks for that always.

Billy has made me laugh more than any other comedian. I have also admired him as an actor, especially in Mrs Brown, followed his travel shows with interest and even listened to some of his banjo music. I did not know before this video that he is also a talented visual artist. He is, without a doubt, one of the most creative people of my generation.

Sir!!! You are a Legend. Your standup in the 80s was truly amazing. Lots of love and respect man x

He’s certainly a treasure… so very upbeat and silly… windswept and interesting!

Awh my fathers been dead 8 years from paisley too Billy a man who would have been around your age now and your voice and the way you speak brings me such peace although I’m not confident I remember all the different tones of my father I feel like I’m having a conversation with him listening to you… thank you so much ❤️

And there it was. The message for right now. He says. It's not important who you don't like, it's important who you llike. The glass which has been half filled steadfastly by this man for decades, was filled once again. Absolutely on purpose. Cheers Billy. I drink from that glass every time I see you. And guess what. There are enough servings from that glass for all of us to share yet the level never wavers.

Billy is an international treasure.

Billy is a special soul, just like Robin Williams. The world will be a darker, colder place when he's gone.

One of the few famous people that I absolutely adore.

I love Billy, reading his autobiography was a genuine joy- we should all be more like Billy
