Graham Norton Show 2007-S1xE17 Alice Cooper, Sandi Toksvig-part 1

[@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.

[@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.

[@usercarefree44]

My husband used to play golf with Alice...he's very good. And he said same. A genuinely bright , interesting gentleman. Humble as.

[@RickyMaveety]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@joshua.dmurphy8643]

Alice and sandy were awesome

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@bb3ca201]

ALICE FREAKING COOPER!!! LOVE IT

[@AnastasiaCooper]

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

[@patriciabarkley735]

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

[@lofthouse23]

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

[@nadiazahroon6573]

Schools out, love that song

[@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...

[@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.

[@lovelyskull3483]

This is still fantastic .☮️🇨🇦

[@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.

[@ann-kathrinmuller9805]

Alice Cooper 🖤

[@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

[@SpeccyMan]

[@MrMikeyt65]

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

[@stevetrent4275]

Alice is the BEST!

[@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.

[@lisajones2412]

I love Graham!

[@laurahall2710]

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

[@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

[@SpeccyMan]

The word is encore.

[@gnozza8683]

Alice is a great raconteur

[@alfredoobregon2618]

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

[@manisingh4892]

what happened to part 2???

[@missg.5940]

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

[@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.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Imagine that. The fashion looks old on an old show!😊

[@Martin-jd3oc]

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

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Hilarious. All parties involved

[@puirYorick]

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

[@Ecstasia1]

:( Part2 in Germany not available due to ownership issues....

[@EmmaRiddle543]

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

[@nyingma13]

In case you were unaware, video clips are virtually useless without sound.

[@wolfmoon9816]

Alice coopers trousers in these r rly cool Wonder where he got them prob custom made but if anyone know where can get similar lmk

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Where is Part 2?

[@suzieb8366]

I wondered where Bake Off orignally got its idea...now I know :o)

[@leivhuns]

The hanging went wrong in London 1978 Alice says. Problem is that he quit using The gallows after The Schools Out tour in 1972.

[@dindinmooshi1356]

i so need a laugh right now

[@carlfranz6805]

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

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

[@vivienneoneill5400]

Great guy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@The.Conqueeftador]

Craig was certainly loving that😂😂

[@asmradlib8240]

The days when Graham spoke more than his guests.

[@donaldcampbell3043]

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

[@johnallen7443]

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

What am I watching?

[@drakecon]

The story of the snake shit and human vomit is cool

[@topgurl9313]

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

lol i guess he was performing to the entire population of canada

[@topgurl9313]

Jesus... I've heard of big gigs but I didn't know ones like that were possible

[@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.

[@njcurmudgeon]

Okay...am I the only American who is recalling "Better Call Saul" and the "Squat Cobbler" at around 17:14 or so!?

[@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.

[@paulhammons7077]

[@brettcooper3893]

Alice transposed the year. It was 1987.

[@steve6290]

[@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.

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.
