If you haven't seen it, look up Greg Davies' teacher stories on The Graham Norton show. The man is hilarious.

[@peedlejaydle]

Would love to see a reaction to this

[@elitestarquake3597]

I second this. The one where Davies makes Ryan Gosling crack up is golden.

[@Manofmanyhobbies86]

Greg is a very funny guy.

[@lewishutchinson5764]

One of the best stories ever 😂

[@leonskum.5682]

He told a good one infront of Jodie foster and I think Russell Crowe??

[@Mattd252]

In case nobody has explained it yet, he was talking about working as a ‘blue coat’ at a holiday park. Butlins and Pontins were two big rival holiday parks in the 70s/80s with sites around the UK coast - some still operating today. The blue coats and red coats were basically entertainment staff employed by the parks to do comedy/host events in the evenings etc. When he says he was sent to Morecambe (North West England), he’s basically saying he was sent to a not so nice holiday park after that little incident on his original site…

[@kosefix]

Just learned about them from walk with me Tim youtube channel. He has visited most of them.

[@Wally-H]

Correct. The Pontins at Hemsby where Lee was based when this happened closed some years ago, there are urban explorer videos looking round the site on here.

[@sicr7373]

If you only ever watch one more video from the Graham Norton show, please watch the one with Mirian Margolyes as a guest, and if you don't nearly fall off your chair laughing I will personally fly over to Florida and buy the beers all night for you and the Queen!

[@KingBoomer]

I will mark it down

[@sicr7373]

@@KingBoomer Well done mate, can't wait to see your reaction when you get round to it..!

[@MissTeeFy]

Came here to say this. Miriam is a legend.

[@MissTeeFy]

@Jaimarilyn there are several clips of MM on different episodes of GM and every time she's got stories that will curl your hair.

[@richardhunter7363]

I think my fav would be Greg Davies telling his school story - Ryan Gosling is literally wetting himself.

[@DemonNeil]

Catherine Tate and Tom Cruise is a very good choice, but honestly, Greg Davies telling his teaching story to Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling is pure gold. Literally, if you’re ever feeling down at any stage in your life, watch that clip. It never fails to cheer you up!

[@Gimonbro]

YOOOOOOWWWWW!!! this was the CRAZIEST ONE!!!

[@timglennon6814]

The best thing about Graham Norton is that no matter what status your fame is, A class to Z class he brings all his guests out and makes them feel at ease.

[@KingBoomer]

I like that a lot

[@neilgayleard3842]

Check out the old 80s British comedy hi-de-hi it shows you want these holiday were are like.

[@cliffcrabtree4359]

The secret of The Graham Norton Show is the guests have a drink, or three during the show. The best talk show there is.

[@benkelly2024]

Lee Mack later said that making John Cleese crack up was the proudest moment of his career.

[@rosa32]

Please do a reaction to Miriam Margolyes on Graham Norton. She gives no Fs. There's a compilation, you'll find her hilarious.

[@timglennon6814]

If you have not seen this lady yet on the Graham Norton show, you and Queen should do this on together. The lady in question is called Miriam Margolyes. If you are into Harry Potter she played Professor Pomona Sprout, plus many films over a 60 year period. She is a Jewish lesbian and very open about it. The video is titled Miriam Margolyes on Graham Norton, KZbin channel Denise F. It’s a 45 minute of very hilarious stories told by Miriam.

[@louisemiller3784]

I love her and if King Boomer loves fart jokes then she’s the woman that dosent hold back

[@timglennon6814]

@@louisemiller3784. Yes, she definitely loves a good fart joke.

[@timglennon6814]

@@philjones45. Yes other reactors have reacted to Miriam Margolyes, but every reactor has a different perspective.

[@mccorama]

Miriam is just the greatest

[@ftsstiffmiester4528]

she is the greatest guest ever hands down.

[@Wally-H]

That is 100% a true story. The holiday park he worked in at the time was Pontins at Hemsby, Norfolk - sadly it shut down a few years ago, it is now derelict and there are a few urban explorer videos on here about it. Whenever I've watched one of those and they go into the entertainment complex I think about Lee's story.

[@jayt9882]

How Graham is successful, is that he gets guests on to have a good time together. There's no setting anyone up against another for the sake of drama. He's no sap and he can be occasionally naughty or teasing but it's never mean or spiteful - unless it's the Red Chair... ;) You'll have to watch a few of those!! Guests come to trust him and so you get the best of them and a great hour's entertainment all round.

[@barrymiller3385]

So many good clips from Graham Norton. On of my favourites has to be Kate Beckinsale's prank story. Although her pantomime horse story is right up there too! (As well as being incredibly beautiful she seems to be naughty and funny as well. .... no, I can't think of anything better either!!!)

[@DruncanUK]

I've got a great suggestion for you - search KZbin for "Lee Mack stand up". It's amazing how tons of clips of Lee Mack doing stand up suddenly appears! Hope that helps, King Muppet!

[@druidswillow1052]

Hi K&QB, Yep agree I'm not a talk show fan but the total exception is Graham Norton who genuinely has had some of the funniest moments ever on UK TV, I think as opposed to American networks the guests can swear, be rude etc in a way that possibly wouldn't be allowed/approved of in the mainstream U.S environment? If you haven't please check out Greg Davies & his hilarious stories when Jodie Foster & Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling were on, Anyway Cheers Jim, Surrey, UK X Muppet Army🐸🐷🐸🐷!

[@gedjones5977]

Where’s your buccaneers? On the side of your buccan head 😮😅 Go Chiefs 😊😊 Was 13 months in the VA hospital in Kansas City, 6 of those months in a coma, little accident while working as a “contractor “ for your government’s State department. Like your reaction channel and you and HRH Queen Boomer obviously enough for the Superbowl to not matter 1 little bit just one quick question; Does 12 have to hold the Gronks hand everywhere he goes and just when exactly is Brady going to retire? Going to be interesting how the Chiefs offence will look/perform this season. You have a true fan of king and Queen Boomers work right here on The Wirral Peninsula, North West England. Love,Light and Peace 😊

[@jefftilley6512]

You have to watch "Best of Jeremy Clarkson on QI" QI (Quite Interesting) has a panel show format where Quite Interesting things are discussed.

[@aidiess]

Look up Myriam Margoyles on Graham Norton - she will blow your mind !!! No exaggeration !!!! - she spares no blushes and is quite outrageous for a lady her age !! ( You may have seen her in the Harry Potter Films " ??

[@Gantzz321]

Bob Mortimer -WILTY compilation part1 . nice lengthy bit to react to

[@TheCornishCockney]

Catherine Tate on the sofa explaining how one of her characters came about. Apart from Tom Cruise falling about laughing,that’s all I’ll say.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

A few A listers on Grayhams show . Lee is great on WILTY and any clip is bound to be good

[@ellesee7079]

I think they show a watered down version on BBC America, but the originals are best. Catherine Tate and Tom Cruise is worth checking out. I'll let someone else explain the Kent joke. Suffice to say it does sound different when you say it in different local accents, hence the "What did you call me?!" in the original joke 😆

[@daveworrall1151]

Lee Mack has a good sitcom called not going out, but some of the stuff he did on The Sketch Show is comedy gold. For more current stuff, if ever Bob Mortimer appears on would I lie to you, it's always with Mack and very highly recommended

[@daveworrall1151]

By the way King, your comments section is now attracting some wild spam, you must be considered a successful channel 😁

[@clintonholland4643]

hi im a sub of yours for a long time now and i know you will love miriam margolyes as every body has said but do it with the qeen she would love her too garenteed. we love you two from the UK

[@jacquelinepearson2288]

There are some great Graham Norton Show compilations. One in particular 'Try Not to Laugh on the Graham Norton Show - Part 2'. It includes an episode of the Red Chair and another section has the guests doubled up with laughter.

[@watchreadplayretro]

you had me at "Muppet"

[@revbenf6870]

Matt Damon said "this is the most fun I have had on a talk show". It is the talk show beyond all others and well worth checking out!!

[@chriscjad]

Lee Mack - Irish names is amazing for some stand up…

[@dannyabson6503]

Hi king boomer, the Catherine Tate and Tom cruise one you was on about is good as she explains two of her screen characters, a good one I think you might like is the one with herself and David Tennant (the tenth Doctor who) 🙂

[@karl-70]

Regarding Lee mack, as far as I'm aware Lee started as a witty radio host before making his name after appearing on TV panel shows and a sit com called "not going out". I may be wrong but I'm not aware of Lee mack doing actual stand up. Happy to be proven wrong though.

[@mrlister2000]

Lee started off at Pontins as a Blue Coat Entertainer. In 2001 he did The Sketch Show, before moving to Radio 2 for The Lee Mack Show, which he did for 2 years. He's done the comedy circuit, and in 1995 he won "So You Think You're Funny" at the Edinburgh COmedy Festival.

[@karl-70]

@@mrlister2000 ah, interesting thanks so much.

[@droberts9242]

You can watch the show on BBC America.....check out the episode with Joan Rivers and Johnny Knoxville...it's also on the compilation video.....Try Not To Laugh (part 5)

[@timglennon6814]

Lee Mack Live at the Apollo. KZbin channel NANO VISION TV. The video is just over 30 minutes long.

[@adamcashin4021]

A good reaction to see you do would be Rachel Parris 'How NOT to sexually harass someone' (kzbin.info/www/bejne/in7JhKeaaNtmaZI). Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr are two of my favourite Comedians; but this sketch is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

[@matthill3293]

IMO Lee Mack's stand up isn't very funny. He's so much better doing stuff like this or WILTY where he's essentially playing off other people. He's so quick witted and sharp that the chemistry he can create with another comedian on a panel show or talk show is just brilliant because he bounces off what they say. By all means, check out his stand up, decide for yourself but as I said, for me, he's not very funny in that setting.

[@VEETEEARR]

I know you asked for some Lee Mack suggestions, but I'm a bit of a muppet so I'd like to suggest Miriam Margolyes (Mar-go-lees) on Grahem Norton Show instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rme8mWOuorOso5I

[@praywink]

I think you should react to The Young Ones and Bottom with the late great Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, Rik Mayall also did a film back in 91 called Drop Dead Fred, that's funny as fook 😂

[@chrisshelley3027]

You should have a look for Miriam Margolyes (pronounced Margolees) it's a long video at around 50 minutes but she is so very funny, things that you wouldn't believe she just comes right out and says them, very typically British, Graham Norton is wetting himself as are the other guests from start to finish, well worth the effort because you really don't expect her to be so open about so many different things in life, and the lady has lived.

[@coot1925]

Oh mate, you have to check out Miriam margolyes on this show. She's now 81 years old and she has no filter whatsoever. There's 2 great stories she comes out with that will make lee macks story look like a kids bed time story. You will piss yourself. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

[@goodtimes7277]

[@warrenlockhart5009]

Check out Macks series 'Not Going Out' Really great comedy sketch show with great story lines.

[@channel55andaboxoftissues16]

the main chat show on the bbc used to be The Jonathan Ross Show. Ross was sacked because he played a phone prank on radio with russel brand and got it all wrong. Sacking him was a big loss because his show was very popular. Then they brought in Graham norton from channel 4. it isnt anything about Norton that's great, it's the set up with the bbc. i think the Ross show was better. I remember one episode where Jim Carey came on, Johnny Vegas was on it and then it just became a totally bonkers party.

what's great about Graham Norton is he tends to give his guests alcohol before and during the show. it makes for great TV as by the time the guests come out to talk, they're already at least tipsy. Mark Wahlberg was very drunk when he appeared on the show 😆😆
