Weird, never seen Jimmy Carr out of character.

I actually liked him better at his uptight comedy phase. He's still funny, however

Can someone link something from his "uptight" phase? I can't really tell the difference based on what I remember...

http://www.videosift.com/video/Jimmy-Carrs-first-standup-on-TV is a good example.

Compare that Jimmy Carr to this one: http://www.videosift.com/video/Jimmy-Carr-on-Scientology-and-Christianity

Nice interview. Though I still can't understand why he is so apologetic about his joke:
"Say what you like about servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a f***ing good paralympic team in 2012."

[edit]
This article says he isn't so apologetic though.

He does not repeat the joke in Margate tonight, though some in the audience are goading him to do so. He makes do with noting the fact that no one watches the Paralympics anyway, and a few throwaway jokes about people without arms. Why not do the controversial joke? "I thought I'd leave it," he says. "Otherwise it looks like you haven't taken it [the furore] seriously. I didn't write the joke and think, 'That's an unacceptable joke, that's an unacceptable thing to say, but will I get away with it?' I thought it was a totally acceptable joke and a point to make, but now it's become something else. The other reason not to tell it now is that people have heard it."

He seems like a great guy. I was surprised to hear him give a shoutout to twitter as a way for HIM to get feedback. I thought of twitter as mostly write-only media for celebrities.

What's with the two kidney beans wearing a hat on their lapels?
