Chat Shows: Talk Back Here

[Augustus]

Graham Norton. It's even more fun to watch guests, who are renown to generally hate chat shows but do them due to obligation, find Graham to be all about the fun. And you see them relax. Plus he serves alcohol, which also helps of course.

The absolute mayhem with Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Hugh Bonneville is still memorable, but my all time favourite guest has to be Miriam Margolyes. Just google her on Graham Norton, OMG...the stories!

I put this in Paul Rudd's thread but thought I'd bring it over to the chat show thread where it probably belongs. Graham is the best for getting his guests to relax. Here are two hilarious moments with Paul.

The date from hell.

Having a prank fail spectacularly.

I need to watch other chatty shows but tonight I’ve been watching Graham,Kylie and Keanu and Rocketman Taron and Jamie all being adorable, while he lets his guests have a beverage or two, he is also actively leading his audience astray too, how better to watch than with a lovely llittle Sauvignon Blanc from the man himself that’s the trick get the guest and the audience drunk


I can confirm for research purposes only so no one else has to, that SauviGNon blanc is rather lovely....


Just to spread the chat show love I very much like Stephen Colbert and can not stand James Corden past the the Car pool karaoke thing mostly because it started from a Comic relief (BBC charity thing)sketch he did with George Michael..and then led to this gorgeous happening with Paul McCartney in Liverpool

She is a riot. Tangential to this, Dominic Cooper ended up on a couch with Miriam and separately in one of Kate Beckinsale's weirdo* interviews. Dude has a real gift for just rolling with the punches.


* In a really funny way!

OMG, that story was amazing. I also loved when he was with MM, and told the story where his balls fell out of his trousers. He has the worst luck with MM.

I never thought a Carpool Karaoke could make me cry, but the McCartney one did. Still can't watch without tearing up--so sweet.

This one is still my favorite--it's a pretty fair representation of me driving around with my kids in the car. Fast-forward through the Hamilton beginning if you're not a fan...(also, can we agree that Audra McDonald is the Queen, please?)

Also, there's a new one of Snoop Dogg with Matthew McConaughey driving, but the full video is only available on Apple Music, so I can't access the whole thing--the snippets I have seen are fun, though.

Carpool Karaoke is about all I can take from Corden’s show. Even when I like the guests, the way he jumps around between them is just disjointed.

Highlights for me have been the entire McCartney, Obama driving around the WH grounds, the look on Adele’s face when James hits the high harmony, and taking Selena Gomez through the McDonalds drive thru to get a Coke in a cup with her picture on it.

The distraction of fitz by Keanu Reeves continues

Pretty standard promo interview with Stephen Colbert, Keanu being very enthusiastic about John Wick 3, graciously name checking his stunt Double early on and Bill and Ted stuff Watch to the very last minute I genuinely took a breath and might have needed a moment

Very simple truth right there.

I’m bawling at the McCartney Carpool Karaoke. He is my favorite. I’m going to see him with my parents on the last night of his tour this summer, who took me to see him 28 years ago. We love him and the Beatles so much.

Anyhooooo. Need to get some Kleenex.

Wow- I've gotta say; total agreement with that Corden McCartney video. I wasn't expecting it- but I was also bawling at the end. The power of music indeed. Paul McCartney is some type of angel. Thanks so much for posting that fitz. It made my night.
