[@afpwebworks]

Who on earth would have thought of having Alice Cooper and Sandi Toksvig on the same show? But it worked. I thought they were both highly entertaining.

[@laurahall5218]

Its like putting Enya and Kid Cudi next to each other on the ipod. It just works

[@usercarefree44]

Alice is a very clued up guy...he doesn't always appear as his rock self...he's a good golfer too. He didn't know wtf was going on with this...me either.

[@RickyMaveety]

I love Alice Cooper. What an amazing guy. Also adore Sandi.

[@carolynmaynard3694]

I used to work at a Civic Center in the late ‘80’s. I was too young to work in or near the locker rooms. The ladies at the Civic Center that worked with Alice Cooper and his band said he and his band members were down to earth and always got their own coffee and took care of themselves. Apparently he is a really nice guy and a gentleman!

[@carolynmaynard3694]

@AliceCooper- Have a blessed day!

[@crystalrose2607]

Can confirm. Worked a show 20years ago and he was amazing.

[@realong2506]

Graham Norton, the only chat show worth watching. Bless you BBC America.

[@davidclark3588]

Came here for Alice, stayed for Sandy. This lady is hilarious.

[@bdemaree]

Check out QI

[@paulmcdonough1093]

shes crap

[@Thecattheratsandthegliders]

Super smart and super modest. Shes really great 🥰

[@laurahall5218]

Yes she's really great on QI

[@cidb.212]

She really is, this is the first I've heard of her. She's very quick-witted.

[@kare2much]

You can tell when Alice says all of his music and performance is just a sense of humor, he really means it. When they're watching the sploshing thing, he's just laughing his ass off the whole time.

[@joshua.dmurphy8643]

Alice and sandy were awesome

[@hortyist1]

A.C is such a cool cat. Even when he was first starting in show biz he was genuine and cool, hasn't changed a bit.

[@MrPutrifyingEagor]

I just love Alice Cooper, I dearly wish I could meet him, he is a true gent!

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

I had breakfast with him once in Holland; lovely guy.

[@ligeiaztomb2755]

I have met him several times. He is amazing.

[@MrPutrifyingEagor]

Ligeiaz Tomb That’s awesome! You are very lucky!

[@rowlffffff]

I met him after a show in the early nineties. Good guy, we talked about golf.

[@embelslishments]

"Joan Jett and The Blackheads" not quite Graham but points for trying 🤣

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

*"I LOVE CLEARASIL...!"*

[@savyjett]

I thought thats what he said! 😂😂😂

[@hannahwootton6491]

I at first thought my hearing was dodge but blackhearts graham lol

[@9206156175]

I just really want an hour long DVD of Alice Cooper sitting in a chair telling stories from his hardcore rocking years, funny or otherwise

[@stacielara9856]

Tardisin221B I’d love that. He’s fascinating and so humble

[@rodentoftheastrowaste1414]

Well, that's pretty much his autobiography, "Alice Cooper, Golf Monster". Lots of fun.

[@laurahall2710]

"Yep, group's name started with an M, great rock n roll sound."

[@rabidbigdog]

But in 'real' life he's not a 'hard core' rocker - he just plays one.

[@neilmurrell281]

Went to see Alice in 2007 in Newcastle, Motorhead the the amazing Alice Cooper what a show.

[@AnastasiaCooper]

I love that Alice clearly got his diet coke and they even tossed ice cubes into it :D

[@jelt110]

These two are so smart and so sweet. Great show.

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

Fabulous interview !!! Alice can be so funny. I could listen to his stories all day.

[@lofthouse23]

"A sort of helpful Tourettes." Man I love this show. Having a random binge.

[@bb3ca201]

ALICE FREAKING COOPER!!! LOVE IT

[@benvallentine7197]

I met Alice in Singapore in 2010 and got to sit with him. All he wanted to do was talk about golf. Lovely guy, and got the photo for the memory.

[@erikmaronde2244]

Alice Cooper is such a nice man! And funny.🎉🎶🖖

[@wendydabee]

Am I the only one that loves the fact that Sandy took her glasses out to look at the magazines? LOL

[@CynthiaWertin]

She is nearsighted. I am an optician, I refer to this as lifting. I have excellent vision close up. I'll never need reading glasses.

[@patriciabarkley735]

I have totally enjoyed this show. Who would have thought they would talk and have so much fun! ❤️🌹❤️

[@michaelreqd]

you can tell Alice thinks: why don't we in the US have talk shows like this ???

[@chelemae]

Yes, Graham is really good - he seems to be very sincere and genuine. Also, I wish our late night hosts would have all their guests together at one time like Graham does! I think that would go over so much better!

[@razzledcroaker3678]

We used to. Many great moments like this on Johnny Carson. There was a great conversation between George Goble, Dean Martin, and Bob Hope that is still my favorite talk show moment of all time.

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

They gave Graham Norton a show in the US and it bombed. He does better in the UK.

[@laurahall2710]

"Do look at his hair! It looks like he left his stylist backwards! (Through the hedge is implied)

[@christinebiada1292]

Love Alice Cooper! So sad his show was canceled this year!! Hopefully next year concerts will return!

[@AnastasiaCooper]

same, I got a ticket for Rock meets Classic with Thunder and Alice and I really, really wanna see it...

[@lovelyskull3483]

This is still fantastic .☮️🇨🇦

[@nadiazahroon6573]

Schools out, love that song

[@thomvankeuren5531]

i was told a story from a cop who worked Alice's show back in the early 70s,, talking about mishaps, alice was suppose to be shot out of a cannon, he got into it, went off, but the dummy went half way across the stage and landed in the middle, alice did come out for the on core, but that was the only time he ever did the cannon stunt

[@ann-kathrinmuller9805]

Alice Cooper 🖤

[@puirYorick]

Graham was much more camp and catty in his earlier shows.

[@MrMikeyt65]

Sandi is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 I wish she had a fan club I'd definitely join.

[@dannyfisher5086]

Alice cooper was my first gig I ever went to and it was in Cornwall and one of my friends played golf with with him whistle he was down around that time

[@stevetrent4275]

Alice is the BEST!

[@johnkochen7264]

Does anybody need more proof that Alice Cooper is really just a nice guy?

[@sophiecooper1824]

He's the best . So nice and down to earth

[@missg.5940]

Cooper is an avid golfer..omg, didn’t see that one coming when l found that out!😷😷😷🇨🇦

[@Martin-jd3oc]

Norton: ”Joan Jett & The Blackheads” ha ha 😂

[@gnozza8683]

Alice is a great raconteur

[@alfredoobregon2618]

Alice Cooper es una leyenda del Rock mundial. Canciones eternas. Espero vengas al Perú.

[@deborahduthie4519]

I'm so glad that 'future Graham Norton' has better dress sense. His suit and shirt were probably fashion forward back then but watching past episodes is quite a Fashion History Lesson.

[@ronaldsheldon8864]

In the mid 90's I met Alice Cooper at a mission in Phoenix Az. I used to vol there. Alice looked so much different.

[@johnallen7443]

Apparently Alice Cooper is actually Henry Winkler with a prosthetic nose,make up and a wig ...

[@laurahall2710]

I was somehow reading Harry Potter. Incredibly amusing.

[@gorschtown]

I picked up some Steve Carrell vibes. Steve Carrell if he lived a bit harder.

what happened to part 2???

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Hilarious. All parties involved

[@donaldcampbell3043]

Took a while to warm to Sandy after she took over from Stephen Fry on QI, but she is funny...

[@EmmaRiddle543]

Are you able to put part 2 back up? Or know where I can see it.

[@kassandra5449]

ALICE, FUCKI'N COOPER!!!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I love this guy for a long, long time. But SANDY is a great Person, too!! 😁😊😘

[@shawnuel]

Did Graham say Joan Jett and the BlackHEADS?

[@Tiger-Baby]

Shawn McLaughlin He bloody well did! 😁😁😁

[@lisafiggins8447]

I get to say it first. Alice Cooper and Steve Carrel could be twins!! They look the same and speak the same way! Tell me I'm wrong! Incidentally I sat down with Alice to go over accomodations at the Marriott in Minneapolis years ago 😊 #AliceandSteve

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Where is Part 2?

[@The.Conqueeftador]

Craig was certainly loving that😂😂

[@kellymatthewbarnes5176]

Does he wear Beatle boots like Dee Snider does?

[@petermaxwell2965]

Looks like Alice & sandy are social distancing way back then !

[@ziangs7991]

Broad Sword what does that mean??

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

If you knew Alice’s history, as being a rock star, he never liked people being too close to him, to prevent people from grabbing at him, because of his fame. Also in his 20s he hated groupies crowding around him.

Sandi a comedian ... heck I know her more as an archeologist from time team

[@carlfranz6805]

Sound level is too low for cell phones.

[@WalterLiddy]

It's so weird watching the older episodes - the audience doesn't know how to react to things. When a guest announces some upcoming release/appearance there's never a reaction.

[@neddyladdy]

WalterLiddy Well, no one has any idea of what it is like do they ? Why cheer an unknown?

[@IggyMontpellierPro]

WalterLiddy They hadn't bought the REACTION/APPLAUSE sign.

The days when Graham spoke more than his guests.

LOL When Alice Cooper is the most conservative bit on the show

I'm sorry did Alice say 33 million at one gig????

[@brendajackson13]

+kitty keitel Hahaha. I think he was just giving the population stats for Sao Paulo.

[@ratboss5852]

+brenda jackson Yup. Graham just added the "that's a big gig" thing as a joke.

[@billiejennings3531]

he was exaggerating, think Micheal Jackson holds the record with like 4 million something people at one concert

[@maryannhardman4229]

He was referring to the number of people in the city of Sao Paulo.

[@doyler9167]

Actually it's Rod Stewart that has the all time record 3,500,000 in rio de Janeiro 1994. Michael Jackson has nowhere close to that figure I'm afraid.

[@lesterclaypool1]

+Maryann Hardman And because it was Sao Paulo, Lord knows the entire city might well have turned out for the show. You could have had one hit, on a B side, before the Beatles, and Sao Paulo will not have forgotten you. Lovely people.

Is Alice Cooper blushing? I think so

[@Close.Quarters.Ramen.]

Imagine how furious people would be if they did that same thing with the audience member, but with a woman being felt up and covered in all that stuff by a group of guys instead of the other way around. Even though the producers would have had to tell them what was about to happen and have them consent to it, and probably sign multiple documents beforehand. The public would have lost their damn minds.
