    Not much of an angle for taking the piss out of The Graham Norton Show. The Late Late Show thread is where it's at ;)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Quality show. As always.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,826 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    One of the best episodes I've seen in a long time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,093 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Yep.. Norton always delivers but tonight was something else.

    All the guests were great.. but never knew Hugh Bonneville was so funny!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,067 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    euh that end bit

    I thought his act seemed very contrived.
    I didn't think Murray had much time for him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 378 ✭✭I_smell_fear


    Yep, Hugh Bonneville was very contrived and awkward, clearly putting on a bit of an act, while Damon and Murray were being their natural selves. Maybe they're just used to the limelight more.

    I didn't take to Bonneville at all. It was like he was trying to be a bit 'laddish' to fit in with the big guys, and it didn't suit him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,907 ✭✭✭micar


    Am watching this on 3e.

    Bill Murray is just class.

    Best episode in a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,290 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Watched it last night, it was hilarious! I love how the American guests always react to how the show is run. Its totally different to anything in the states, much more casual and relaxed, the drinking and the swearing etc. Matt Damon in particular seemed to really enjoy it, I think at the end he said it was the most fun he's ever had on a talk show.

    Go from the Graham Norton show to the awkward and terrible The Saturday Night show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭dirkmeister


    Just watching this now, Bill Murray is stealing the show.

    He'd be great at a party, so effortlessly funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,351 ✭✭✭✭Harry Angstrom


    I always suspected that Bill Murray was just playing himself in Lost In Translation. Now I know it. Loving his laid-back yet slightly melancholy attitude.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,351 ✭✭✭✭Harry Angstrom


    Bonneville is annoying.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,347 ✭✭✭LynnGrace


    Really enjoying show, partly I think because they are all in bits laughing, Matt Damon, in particular. I think Graham Norton is hilarious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,397 ✭✭✭✭FreudianSlippers


    That's the best episode I have seen in ages. Loved how Mark Wahlberg was lulzing all over the place and have to say i genuinely lol'd at "I have to tell you: I'm Irish"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭hmmm


    Norton appears so effortless, but you can see the amount of research that has been done and his knowledge of the guests. Something for Tubs to learn from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,812 ✭✭✭Addle


    And the alcohol helps too I think!

    Lord Grantham and Bill had certainly been at the cooking sherry. When is Bill Murray going to do a Spike Milligan biopic ? Talk about kindred spirits.

    I think Bonneville worked in the sense that he got the other two giggling away and you could see Norton was beginning to lose them, barely getting an answer out of Wahlberg Damon on the Liberace/Bafta question.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    I would normally skip past the musical guest but Paloma Faith is always good.

    Well, 'Behind the Candelabra' is a sore subject for all concerned.

    A terrific film but, Hollywood now being more conservative now than the 1950s wouldn't touch it.

    I felt that they were laughing at him rather than with him.

    Yeah they were, especially when Graham showed the lads a pic of his jumper on Top Gear & to see if he was wearing lipstick as his lips were a bright colour :D

    Laffed out loud when Graham said :D" I'm Irish too" to Bill Murray, but how could you forget Gaybo for Terry Wogan as i know Tubridy is forgettable enough

    as his only interview he done in the UK was the Culture Show on Hyde Park On Hudson last year.

    Yeah I'm fairly sure he was talking about the Late Late Show, that was show where an unknown Jason Byrne, who was in the audience, tried to be funny by asking Bill Murray a stupid question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,462 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Damon is always cool too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    This weeks episode was again very good.

    Lower key guests, but Miriam Margoyles steals the show.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    As she did last time too. Her and Will I Am were electric together.

    Good laugh when the girl with the bad back was told to sling her hook


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,347 ✭✭✭LynnGrace


    Just watching now. I love the way Graham Norton is always cracking up laughing along with the guests. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,048 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    I didn't find that in the episode with Bill Murray, Matt Damon and Hugh Bonneville that anyone was looking down on Bonneville or anything. It just looked like a bunch of lads who actually probably get along very well in reality getting drunk and talking sh*te and taking the piss. Thought there was great chemistry between them all and really nice atmosphere overall. One of the best episodes ever of the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    There's always a nice atmosphere with Graham Norton, he makes his guests feel at ease and relaxed.

    The episode with Martin Sheen and Ed Byrne is a particular favourite of mine, the chemistry is just amazing, imagine RTE nabbed Norton to do Late Late?

    I liked Miriam and Dominic but i thought Lilly Allen came across as a rude b****! She just looked bored for most of it - when she wasn't talking.
    And her miming was horrendous.

    But yes, Miriam was priceless as always!

    It might be on the player for BBC and TV3 still

    Never miss the show, fair play to Matt Damon who made a point of saying it was the best chat show he was ever on....and clearly meant it.

    If he didn't like it, he would hijack and become the host like he did to Jimmy Kimmel :p

    Apparently Bill Murray goes up to people in McDonalds, eats one of their fries and says "no one will believe you."

    Apparently Bill Murray goes up to people in McDonalds, eats one of their fries and says "no one will believe you."

    Isn't that an urban myth? He did do a house party tour once though, where he'd just go to random people's house parties, college students and such. He was also a bartender as South by Soutwest a couple of years ago with the Wu-Tang Clan of all people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,237 ✭✭✭Mr Pseudonym


    My favourite Murray story is that, during a Q&A following the premier of Hyde Park on Hudson, a questioner asked what special affects had been used to give the impression FDR's polio-withered legs in the swimming pool scene. The audience laughter following the question indicated that none had been used. Murray paused..."That...is acting."

    31 Reasons Bill Murray Is A National Treasure



    Here he is on Letterman just a month ago, afaik that's his 3rd visit since last Sept, you could watch him all day on youtube & not get bored, one of a kind.



    Afaik, this is the only clip i see of him on the LLS, but bear in mind Jason's mum does running commentary over it :o













  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭Patty O Furniture


    I just saw this earlier on, i thought it was very funny, as Dave reminded him that he was one of the first guests on the show 20yrs ago & Bill sets out to show him something.

    I thought the show was utterly painful with the humourless Crowe and the eejity Diaz. It was all very stilted. Kylie seemed fun and Richard interesting enough, but neither of them could get a word in edgeways!
