Dragons' Den Receive a Pitch from Denzel Washington | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

In the show, the 'Dragon's Den' panel joins Jonathan Ross. Theo Paphitis says Duncan Bannatyne, despite his hard-man image, is a soft touch: "He's a pussycat, just give him a hard-luck story." Peter Jones reveals Dragons' Den has made Levi Roots (Reggae Reggae Sauce) a multi-millionaire: "It was worth a million dollars to see his life change." Then, Theo breaks down the thought process behind a passionless pitch.
ORIGINAL BROADCAST DATE: 24 July 2009
Jonathan Ross presents an entertaining show featuring comedy, celebrity chat, and the latest music.

The most successful has been Jenny, she hasn’t lost a penny! 😂

[@johnpilapil9250]

She doesnt have one in the firs place! HAHAHA :D

No wonder - she a hott MILF with a superior brain ....amazing lady

[@ALEXMGFASHION]

Mixed Bag Clips true

[@Bioxidus85]

she hasnt made one either :D :D

[@WaterFlame957]

That's because she does have a penny to her name. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@romeowandrainbow1040]

Seeing Denzel and Tarantino sitting together just make me think how awesome Denzel would be in a Tarantino film - why has this not happened?!!!

[@amrika5]

True that

[@mccall7122]

Spike Lee would kick Denzel's ass if he was in a Quenting film

[@stuartgould4819]

Total agree

[@rahbid121]

The quietest audience ever on the Friday night with Jonathan Ross.

[@mixedbagclips2511]

A single couch for all and no glass of water? I’m out! -Jenny

[@krisamagus1]

I'm just wondering why you think it is amusing?

[@simmer484]

I'd buy air from Denzel, the guy is an acting titan.

[@TAK-id7mx]

Peter Jones making a joke. Audience: We're out

[@krisamagus1]

you:trying to be funny me:puking

[@TAK-id7mx]

@@krisamagus1 It's ok Peter, you have cool socks.

[@darshanrbg]

The layout of this segment is so wrong! Sofa is too small. Projecter is behind the guests so they can't see the guy.

[@digitalmediafan]

True yes the worse set ever created. The BBC had no.idea

[@UndeadFrankie]

Seeing Theo squeezed in on that sofa was so weird lmao

[@b2bt696]

When Theo was a fetus.

[@StrallyMan]

lol

A wheel is just a box with the edges shaved off!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm not really a fan of Rossy, but that was pure Gold!

[@TammyBundleballs]

"Yes, you say that! But, what's the wheel, but a box with the edges shaved off!" That was funny 🙂

Jonathan: I want you Dragons on my show! Jenny: I'm out.

He said dwagons lol the way he speaks its a pommy thing is it a certain area that has his accent over there?

Denzel suddenly merged into the character as usual 😂 👌👌👌👌

we learn massively from the show from both the Dragons & the pitchers 🥰

Love Denzel, why is he just the most convincing guy in the world and Jamie Fox a close second ..

[@AbidKhan-sg9gd]

Totally agree

[@OdilleWanDerK]

The fake nails for Cats its actually amazing. Cats are destroying furniture for ages, but now you can stick the nails with a specific glue (they are made from a soft material) and for a couple of weeks you are safe. Declaw is illegal and barbaric. I am a vet and i have used them a couple of times with big success

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

Levi roots does a pineapple drink that is just on another level all together.

[@SURGE101]

LEE YEREX It’s a ripoff of lilt. It’s the same as lilt but in another bottle.

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

Except its way better than lilt. I switched from lilt to this as it was way way tastier. Has something in it lilt does not.

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

That Mango makes all the difference.

[@Isa-qh3ue]

Try the “old Jamaica” drinks they do pineapple and ginger beer and a few more they are really nice

[@kurluk04]

Sharp Cal like a KA pineapple crush? XD where does he sell it?

[@msthang5366]

I love Jonathan

[@WaterFlame957]

Quentin Tarantino and Denzel Washington in the same room??!!! Mind blown!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@coolersmoke]

This clip is a laugh a minute. Jonathan Ross at his most comedic and the Dragons like you've never seen them before. Glimpses of personality behind the hard business facades, especially Peter. Cracking fun, and worth watching right to the end for Denzel too ;)

[@trynewhardstuffpls9572]

Rob Adam put the glue down

[@shikshanhindi8769]

This such a quality show. Even this talk show is good.

[@shaytunstallgaming4222]

6:05 I thought Evan was Gollum from Lord Of The Rings in that photo 😂

[@laylaaha8759]

While Denzel was talking I recall complaining to my sister about people picking their nose. 😂🤣🤣

[@tiedupsmurf]

People picking their nose while they speak to you are filthy bastrards, the habbit is called Rhino texmania or something like that

[@gumbwe]

Came here for Denzel...!

[@insufferable1178]

He should have pitched his stop watch.

[@y1521t21b5]

6:25 Meaden's reaction... ;-)

[@ssbeats2212]

I love that there socks mach 😃🤣

[@THE_MAQ355]

It's funny how they're sitting in the same order just the way do in the den..

Thats a small ass sofa 😂

[@bloodfire1989]

All these salty angry people in the comments. Relax, this was a funny segment! You don't need an audience to tell you when to laugh for gods sake.

James was the best dragon very nice guy

[@alienmonkey6304]

Levi roots is a multi millionaire now !!!

[@ketchup5344]

It always was going to be classic tv from day one.

[@spitriple-seven2951]

Theo reminds me Will Mckenzie from the inbetweeners

[@Isaac-zc3mm]

Why does the video quality look like it’s in 2008?

[@originalunoriginal4055]

Because it was aired on TV in 2009- 10 years ago

[@warheadone5243]

7:05 Off camera, Theo cracks a weed joke about Levi Roots!

levi roots sauce is fking good to be fair

[@BIGGEST786]

It’s just HP sauce with a song added to it 😂😂😂

[@mrannunaki6852]

Have u ever tasted it? tastes nothing like HP sauce bud... It looks like it yes but its loads spicier, fruitier and nicer

[@toniroberts8117]

I really want some Romanian cheese bread! 😂

[@AndonisMarcus]

Was this filmed with no audience? The atmosphere is unbelievably painful. I think the inquisition in comparison would be preferable.

Anton Lorien Their whole tv persona is being an uptight... people. It’s not easy to change that

[@user-wn8mc1yc1g]

Denzel Washington is believable in reading the freakin phone book

[@Wotdermatter]

Denzel should take his idea and sell the product in Thailand where nose-picking is something of a national hobby. Have often seen kids with fingers completely inserted in both nostrils at the same time, and that is not a lie. 'nuf sed

[@MrNateSPF]

Hey, it's the guy that use to introduce the magic acts for the guy that doesn't talk and the guy that doesn't shut up.

[@mike814031]

LOL

[@kismaayoking]

The irony is levi roots of reggae sauce is now worth £40mil. So, obviously richer than Deborah who taunted his business idea during the pitch.

[@cornealiusc2992]

It’s peter. 300 million when series started

[@rymoats6460]

Everyone says Jenny didn’t invest and actually, Jenny invested in ONE MORE company in 2 seasons than what Sara Willingham did. So of course I went back and Jenny had 6 deals and Sara only had 5.

Wossy's net worth is in the same league as these guys (albeit on the lower end) so that's why he can be so relaxed with them.

James is funny, he always ends with a short and sharp ending. Because we are investing our own, MONEEYYYY, I think the audience like that whole JEPAADYYY, somebody walks up the stairs you have NEVER METTT BEFORE Listen between 1:50 and 2:05 lool
