I can't see a thread for this...Bill Murray is on...you're missing out if you're not watching!

Harry Angstrom · 15-02-2014 12:54am

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

quickbeam · 15-02-2014 12:56am

Quality show. As always.

lertsnim · 15-02-2014 1:59am

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

Basq · 15-02-2014 2:52am

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

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

expectationlost · 15-02-2014 4:10am

euh that end bit

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

I_smell_fear · 15-02-2014 1:25pm

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.

15-02-2014 4:52pm

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

micar · 15-02-2014 10:49pm

Am watching this on 3e.

Bill Murray is just class.

Best episode in a while.

MadYaker · 15-02-2014 10:53pm

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.

Johnny31 · 15-02-2014 10:55pm

great episode last night

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

dirkmeister · 16-02-2014 12:31am

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

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

Harry Angstrom · 16-02-2014 12:39am

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.

Harry Angstrom · 16-02-2014 12:43am

Bonneville is annoying.

LynnGrace · 16-02-2014 12:58am

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

FreudianSlippers · 16-02-2014 3:24pm

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"

hmmm · 16-02-2014 11:10pm

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.

Addle · 16-02-2014 11:23pm

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.

dfx- · 17-02-2014 2:38am

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.

spank_inferno · 17-02-2014 11:01am

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

Laffed out loud when Graham said

" 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.

JP Liz V1 · 20-02-2014 4:54pm

Damon is always cool too

spank_inferno · 22-02-2014 9:36pm

This weeks episode was again very good.

Lower key guests, but Miriam Margoyles steals the show.

quickbeam · 22-02-2014 10:23pm

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

lertsnim · 22-02-2014 11:34pm

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

LynnGrace · 23-02-2014 1:09am

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

Da Shins Kelly · 23-02-2014 2:52am

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.

IvySlayer · 23-02-2014 8:31am

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!

CarrickMcJoe · 25-02-2014 9:03pm

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

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.

Mr Pseudonym · 26-02-2014 1:17am

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

Patty O Furniture · 27-02-2014 12:15am

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.

Russell Crowe seemed very taken with Kylie Minogue

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!
