    I just watched the episode for this week and I have to say it was a very enjoyable show. There was great energy among the guests for that week.

    U2 did a great job on their acoustic performance of "Song for someone". I enjoyed their songs immeasurably.

    Thought Robert Duvall was brilliant, his stories were hilarious. He has this dry wit about him. Classy guy.


    I lol'd when Duvall couldn't remember what film he did with Stephen Fry


    Loved his Brando stories

    It was a great episode. Really enjoyed it!

    Felt sorry for Micky Flanagan on tonight's show, mostly ignored and stuck on the couch with 2 ignoramus's showing him no respect and ruining his story. Matthew McConaughey was good but those 2 women were awful.

    Are you in a different timezone? Just watching, and was thinking exactly that - but hoped he'd get a word in edgeways somewhere along the way.

    He must be wondering why he was invited on.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,855 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    He did get a word in edgeways eventually!

    WTF is this musical item? :confused::confused:

    Lena Dunham is better looking than Anne Hathaway....imo.

    Sia, wtf?

    Sia, wtf?

    Whole thing came across as pretentious twaddle. Kinda thing you'd expect in a loft in NYC stuffed with hipsters. I was enjoying Mickeys story till the other two interrupted it. He handled it well and must be a bit pissed he was so ignored. McConaughey was effortlessly cool as always.

    And they copped on how ignorant they were too. "i'm so cold", wear something on your shoulders so. The two men were entertaining and the silly bints in the middle were annoying.

    Not too sure what I think of Sia. It was interesting and if she wants to do here performance like that then more power to her. I found her and her dancer more entertaining than other people Norton has had on there

    McCouneghy is enough to make me pass on this weeks episode

    Giving up on Graham Norton I think, poor this series. Blame the bookers as much as anything. Some really poor choices. Appreciate they have to get who's on promotion tours but still think they could do better.

    In fairness he consistently has excellent guests compared to other shows.

    Lena Dunham was awful though. I was delighted to see Mickey Flanagan take the piss out of her. You could tell she was fuming too.

    It's more the combination of guests he has had this year. Very meh for me anyway.

    Anne and Lena talked way too much and were unfunny and uninteresting

    Can't remember now! He listed out the guests after the last show, and I thought at the time "must make sure to be in for that". May have been a teeny tiny bit under the influence at the time...... :eek::D

    You'd nearly need to be with the crew that was on ... Apart from Micky Flanagan!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,855 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Aha, it's as simple as reading the paper :D:D

    Shirley Bassey, David Walliams, Catherine Tate and Richard Ayoade.

    I'd watch for SB alone.

    Matthew McConaughey is too much in love with his own idea of coolness and is quite happy to let other people say to him how cool he is. He likes to make people think he is chilled and laid back but yet when Norton interrupted his story about the dog bj and the mountain ram you could tell he was fairly annoyed and he got too annoyed too quickly.

    Hathaway and Dunham acted like a pair of silly schoolgirls. Gazing at McConaughey and ignoring Flanagan. Neither of 'em were that funny and Hathaway's sunset story was too long and not funny either. It makes me wonder how much smoke is blown up their asses in LaLa Land if this is the way they behave.

    I always thought Flanagan was a pain in the arse whenever I saw him on the countless so called comedy panel shows that populate the tv schedules of Channel 4 and BBC1, but I felt sorry for him this time around and he was genuinely funny, he did not deserve to have his story interrupted by the two daft buggers beside him.

    The singer who hid her face was an idiot who spouted pretentious nonsense about not wanting to be famous. If she does not want to be famous then don't appear on chat shows hawking your new album love. An album I wont be buying any time soon, (its metal or nothing in my house).

    Norton on the other hand was the same old same old when that guy from NI came on to tell his story. Jesus you would think Norton was ashamed to be Irish the way he carried on referring to double decker buses, lots of traffic, etc etc and the Jeremy Kyle joke was in bad taste too. Obviously Norton thinks little of the underclass that get paraded on that show and made to act like animals for the benefit and entertainment of other people.

    I don't think I will watch again, I don't really care much for the fawning sycophantic treatment that chat show hosts mete out to Hollywood A listers week in week out.

    You are a barrel of laughs aren't ya!

    For the record, Norton is not ashamed of being Irish. He still spends summers in Cork and is there regularly. He was making a joke about rural Ireland. I thought it was funny, as I can see where he's coming from.

    David Walliams is the joke you've heard a million times and was barely funny the first time.
