2026 is already making 2025 look like a good news year so enjoy Ryan Gosling’s face making Greg Davies’ already good story even better

Poke Staff. Updated January 7th, 2026

It’s barely a week old and 2026 is already making 2025 look like a good news year, with Donald Trump’s unexpected incursion into Venezuela leaving everyone asking where the United Staets is going to invade next.

So what better time to reheat this old moment from Graham Norton’s Friday night show, when Greg Davies’ fabulous story was already good but the look on Ryan Gosling’s face took it to a whole new level.

Even better, Davies is back with a new series of Taskmaster, coming to Channel 4 soon.

Absolute hero status, the pair of them.

And here are just a few of the comments it’s racked up on YouTube in the intervening years.

‘What a bloody story haha. Dying of laughter.’

‘I love the way Graham Norton sets his guests up and then sits back and allows them to be the star. Absolutely a master host.’

‘Whenever I’m having a day where All The Things have gone wrong, I tend to hear Greg in my head going, “AUGH NOT THIS! NOT THIS AS WELL!!” Instant mood lift. ‘
@NikkiDavis2767

‘I love that Ryan Gosling barely has time to compose himself before the next joke and round of giggles kicks in. ‘
@MichelleL98

‘There’s something really satisfying about watching Hollywood actors laughing at British comedians jokes.’

We’re with this person.

‘I am ashamed to admit I have watched this video 47 times.’
