American Reacts to Graham Norton Try Not to Laugh - Part 5!

[@PaladinesAngel]

That’s the magic and genius of Graham. He doesn’t need to be the star of the show. He just is gifted in setting the celebs up to shine for themselves.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Sooo well said.

[@PaladinesAngel]

⁠ why thank you kindly :) ❤

Anyone who can make Ms Tate react like that is of the highest order! As for Jackie Chan's sofa-mate . . . Ohhhh, just wait until you venture into the "Vicar of Dibley" territory!

[@torontomame]

The Vicar of Dibley is absolutely hilarious. In fact, I may start it again as soon as I finish this video. 😁

[@IgoZoom1]

Catherine Tate’s reactions were a hoot! I adore her!

[@bustagutable]

The woman with Jackie Chan is Dawn French. She's a wonderful comedic actress and comedian. She had a show The Vicar of Dibley where she's the Vicar in a small English village. All the cast is fantastic! Treat yourself to an episode (doesn't matter which one). Bet you could find one on KZbin. Love your channel David! Ps. Dawn was also 'The Fat Lady' in Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban.

[@Jacob_Junge]

She was also in a comedy duo with Jennifer Saunders for years, doing six seasons of a skit show on BBC. And she co-wrote Absolutely Fabulous with Saunders.

[@Melisadz]

OMG I just realized she was the fat lady! 20 years later!!!! Thank you!

[@katrinacash6393]

I am so glad to find someone else who loves the movie "Philomena"! It's an amazing film and Coogan was so good with Judi Dench! They both made a terribly tragic story watchable.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Yes!! Could not agree with your description more! So heartbreaking, yet still uplifting, and I could literally turn it on and watch it right now. My partner in crime, Marc, affectionately joke about her telling multiple people that they’re “one in a million”. ♥️

[@BrendaAnderson]

@@DavidvsFilm I watch it every time it pops up somewhere. Such a great film.

[@DavidvsFilm]

@@BrendaAnderson Yes!! :) ♥️

[@lillired857]

one of my faves

[@CJ77777]

Oh my goodness, David! You don't know Miranda yet (comedian next to Greg). She is a gem! She became a household name starring in her show 'Miranda'. It's a comedy to-camera (breaking the fourth wall) about her relationships with this funny cast of characters (one being Tom Ellis who stars in Lucifer). She makes a fool of herself in most episodes. It's awesome. Highly recommended! 😊 EDIT: Sorry, have to tell you about Dawn French, too (with Jackie Chan). Imagine one of the most famous and well loved comedy actors in America. That's her. She was in a comedy duo called French and Saunders. They've been around for years. Would highly recommend their LotR Parody or Titanic (if you can find it, for some reason they're hard to find now) . She was also in a very well-loved show called The Vicar of Dibley where she played a female vicar arriving at a small village to the utter shock of the locals. Very funny show.

[@WonderWhatHappened]

I swear those are the exact thoughts I had when he said he didn't know either.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Thank you so much for this info!! This is exactly why I love having this channel and doing these videos, because my KZbin friends like you clue me in to shows I otherwise likely wouldn’t have found. :) Really appreciate it! And Tom Ellis. ‘Nuff said.

[@danapfaff5078]

Dawn also has a fantastically funny podcast with Jennifer Saunders, Titting About with French and Saunders. I usually end up in the can’t breathe/crying laugh with each episode.

[@CJ77777]

@@danapfaff5078 Is that recent? I didn't they got back together for a Podcast. 😲

[@djay1066]

David, you HAVE to watch The Vicar of Dibley!

[@todddepue681]

Would love to see you watch some French & Saunders sketches! Dawn and Jennifer have been an amazing duo for decades. Miranda Hart, who you saw with Greg Davies, also brilliant. Her Royal Variety Show 2017 is hilarious when she pulls William and Catherine into the act!

[@annettefarrell2093]

One of these streaming services needs to pick up the Graham Norton show. I've watched so many of them on KZbin. Love it!❤

[@JeM130177]

Oohh there you go! I see in other comments you've figured out Dawn French but you know Jennifer Saunders, they're probably most famous for being a comedy double act!! "French and Saunders" (original hahaha). They're still besties they have a podcast or radio show or something or other but they're so funny. It was a lot of skits and dressing up as various people. They did a whole Harry Potter skit for Comic Relief which I saw was on youtube the other day. Kinda garbage quality and a few people maybe unrecognisable outside of Britain so some gags may not land with you but it gives the idea of them. (For example the comedian Ronnie Corbet plays Hagrid and that's amusing because he was actually very small. If you watch enough WILTY you'll probably get Rob Brydon doing his impression of him eventually he does it at every opportunity 😂😂). They did a LOTR skit too which was hilarious but I've not been able to find it recently.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh I bet a podcast with them is AWESOME! I love shows and movies, but I really enjoy people just chatting, especially if they’re engaging storytellers (hence my newfound love of GN, WILTY, etc). And I can always count on you to keep me in the know with your comments. Thank you!

[@JVTrickypants]

Dawn French with Jackie Chan - Vicar of Dibley is her show - and French and Saunders was a brilliant sketch combo that eventually Saunders took and did Absolutely Fabulous with (French still co-producing).

[@MultiFacetious]

S’up. RIP Joan🕊️Also, the lady next to Jackie Chan is Dawn French. She’s half of French and Saunders (Jennifer). Both were in the very first skit which spawned Absolutely Fabulous.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh that’s cool about their skit spawning Ab Fab! That was one of the first British shows I recall seeing, but it’s been a LONG time ago. I still describe work paraphrasing one of the episodes, “Worst 8 hours of my life.” 😁 Thank you so much

[@michaelnolan6951]

French and Saunders have been on TV since the early 80s. They were part of the scene that included The Young Ones and Comic Strip Presents

[@IngriddenDigre]

​@@DavidvsFilmshe's also the fat lady in HP 3. The one that says 'Oh, only with my voice'

[@DavidvsFilm]

Thank you! I was shocked that I didn’t recognize her also as The Fat Lady in Harry Potter! Someone pointed that out, and it was like Yes!!

Miranda Hart is the one between Greg Davies and Rupert Everett, she is AMAZING, she has a sitcom called Miranda which is absolutely incredible, so funny, also stars Tom Ellis (who plays Lucifer). I can highly recommend you react to that!

[@torontomame]

YAY! I love your channel, and I love the Graham Norton Show. Thanks for what you guys do! Big huge hugs to you both from Toronto. XOXO

[@DavidvsFilm]

You are so great! Thank you very much for that. :) Hugs back from Houston!

[@jimduffy7199]

Robert de Niro is very shy and detests doing talk shows. The ONLY exception is Graham's show. He shocked his agent by offering to go on it while in London. He never ever offered to go on any other show anywhere. He knows Graham recognises he is shy, and lets him be silent if he is in a shy mood, then will bring him in when it suits him, and give him space. He apparently never feels under pressure on the show, unlike on US shows which he sees as work. It is why the Graham Norton Show is so popular with celebrities. It is relaxed, funny, warm and the host doesn't dominate. Graham on one show was silent for 20 minutes straight, as the guests were chatting and asking each other questions. US talk show hosts have to be the centre of attention, and dominate everything.

[@jeffmartin1026]

I love this series you are doing, they 100% brighten my day! Vicor of Dibley is a show you should look into. Another favorite Brit-Com I love is One Foot In the Grave, very dark humor in that one.

[@flowrpeace]

I’m so thrilled you mentioned Philomena. I’ve watched that movie so many times but thought I was the odd one, I love it. You would probably love Ideal Home with Coogan and Paul Rudd. Love it also.

[@MGrayl-ib5fo]

10:40 that's UK comedy legend Dawn French.

[@jerryb1439]

Of course you knew Jennifer Saunders. She and Dawn French had a sketch comedy show together called (of course) "French and Saunders." They were great at parodying popular culture, entertainers, etc. Look for that sometime.

[@frankmahovlich5099]

Loved this David...great way to start my morning!

[@SuperClarky666]

dawn french is the lady you didn’t know. she and jennifer saunders used to be a comedy duo for many years they had there own sketch show and appeared together in many things.on her own she did a great comedy series "vicar of dibley “ i highly recommend it👍🏻. there are so many hilarious clips of joan rivers on many british chat shows the years before she passed i’d keep looking for them.

[@divatalk9011]

Graham is my favourite host by far! I think unfortunately he might retire soon

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I've watched the one with Sir Patrick Stewart. So funny!!

[@JVTrickypants]

I know I'm just catching up on your stuff so if you've already checked out Eddie Izzard's Dressed To Kill, awesome....but if you haven't obviously one of the best stand up specials ever, and he has a moment where he's talking about the royals being screwed up by the fact the gene pool is bad when cousins marry. "That's why there's no 'out there and crazy' royals. They're more like, "Oh hello, what do you do? Oh, a plumber....what on earth is that?"

[@WonderWhatHappened]

Taskmaster is unique, after every series (seasons) you will think it's the best season yet.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Haha I LOVE when that happens. And honestly, I’m kind of an easy sell anyway, so I suspect that exactly how I’ll react :) Thank you!

[@aeb712]

I think most people like Emily Blunt. She did get some bad press last year and people were side eyeing her over a past interview. She was on the Jonathan Ross show in the 2010s and he said “If you go to Chili’s you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous." She responded with, "Well, the girl who was serving me was enormous.” She went on to talk about how the server probably ate a lot of free food there, talked again about how big the girl was, and she just joked for a bit about talking with the server that day and she impersonated her southern accent. A clip from that interview went viral last year, Emily got some flak, and she did end up writing an apology statement.

[@davidmonaghan26]

With Jackie Chan is the legendary Dawn French recommended.... French and saunders. (Lots of sketchs) Victor of Dibbly She's the portrait of the fat lady in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.

5:07 Coogan and Jackie Chan-Around the World in 80 Days 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠

[@JVTrickypants]

Also, Jon Hamm is one of those rare people who is both obviously very attractive and yet has a great sense of humor and willing to make fun of himself. Hell, him on 30 Rock as a doctor who is eventually shown as a complete moron is amazing...

[@JVTrickypants]

Charlize is also another one that fits that description....brilliantly beautiful but willing to go the other way for art or humor. She was cast in her Oscar winning part in Monster because she had a scene in The Devil's Advocate (Pacino and Keanu Reeves) where she had to be totally nude and crying with snot running down her face. The director of Monster said, if she can be that willing to go away from her natural attractiveness for the role, she's got to be the serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster.

[@JVTrickypants]

Wow, yeah, Philomena was such a great movie.....

[@teelaprincessofparrots3808]

If you like these types of shows you should watch Alan Carr chatty man. Alan's interview with Jamie foxx and Channing Tatum is honestly one of the funniest interviews I've ever seen

[@freddiegillespie_05]

If you ever watch the full episode with Rupert Everett, Miranda Hart and Greg Davies (I expect you couldn't necessarily post your reaction to the full episode because of copyright issues, but maybe you'll watch it in your own time), there's a really funny joke at the very start of it when Graham brings out all the guests. Because those three are particularly tall, he makes them stand up and stands besides them and says something like "great, now I feel like I belong at the children's table" because, however tall or not tall Graham, he was like a head shorter than the three others.

[@ImBigDave79]

Since you like Jennifer Saunders and now met DAwn French you should check out French and Saunders some time.... especially their movie parodies

[@zebaddams2425]

My only beef with Emily Blunt is that she took John Krasinki off the market LOL. Otherwise she’s an amazing actress and seems like a really good person. Another great video, as always, David! Keep on keepin’ on! ✌️💚🌈

I’ve not seen much of Emily blunt, only in a few things like a quiet place (recommended if you haven’t) and Oppenheimer (also recommended) but she’s brilliant every time

[@DavidvsFilm]

Complete agree! I first saw her in Devil Wears Prada and I have seen Quiet Place, haven’t seen her in Oppenheimer yet (but you KNOW that one’s on my list! ), and one of my favorite performances of hers was as a young Queen Victoria in the bizarrely titled…..Young Victoria. 😉
