It's so weird to see Miriam be the one that's shocked for once

[@FuchiBooBoo]

Hahaha i agreeee!

[@abaigealduda2756]

Hahaha YES!

[@suyap6250]

C, now that's really great😳 🤣 , to hv that effect on a comedian

[@ThomasUfnalCrowlake]

Maybe she was like "huh, that would explain a lot"

[@hugoh.2085]

As a Korean, I can confirm that it is a common Korean proverb. “울다가 웃으면 엉덩이에 털난다“. Although I must confess that I haven’t thought of it in such philosophical, historical manner!

[@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095]

LOL! I thought she said _"apple"_ {:o:O:}

[@michaelcorbett4236]

I wonder did someone manage to get it into a 4 syllable phrase "울웃 엉털".

[@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095]

@@michaelcorbett4236 I can get it into 4 in English, not in Korean: 웃고, 울고, 털이 많은 엉덩이 {:o:O:}

[@katz0625]

Omg that’s amazing!! I wish I knew how to say it because I would say it all the time!!

[@JuanDavidOrjuela]

Then what does it mean?

[@Donegal62]

Miriam's facial expression was gold!! 🤣🤣

[@Mia7189]

Love Miriam's face as Greta explains her grandmother's quote. She literally looks like she's figuring it out if it it's real.

[@tobyrose6906]

Greta. Need not to worry. She sounds like an. American. ..oh forgot south korea is an American state.

[@sung-ahnchoi8952]

It's actually a common expression. This is used to get children to stop crying.

[@cb9825]

OMG that is nuts 🤣

[@rkuriakis4972]

💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣

[@DeidresStuff]

That's actually genius. It's confusing and hilarious enough to make you forget whatever was bothering you.

[@h0lly_blue]

I haven't seen Miriam this confused since Dominic Cooper lol

[@chapulines7034]

It usually used to mock or poke fun at kids who were crying but suddenly smiling or laughing because they got icecream or something 😂

[@imbethondion4572]

You know you're doing well when Miriam Margolyes looks shocked at what you've just said!

[@ESM_One]

As a Korean, I can confirm its an actual quote. When I was a kid if I cried after being disciplined by my dad. He would tell a joke right after to make me laugh and then hit me with that quote which would make me laugh even harder while still sobbing.

[@monmothma3358]

What George says is interesting. Crying is healthy release/processing, but what about laughter? You laugh when you're suprised, happy, but a lot of people might also laugh when they're nervous. I've noticed doing that myself, sometimes. So yeah, I think it can be release, but not of pain, more of nervous energy.

[@enkayar718]

Is Greta having her career ghlow up? She is PHENOMINAL in The Morning Show. I mean just like... wow!

[@josepha133]

In Past Lives as well!!

[@CoachingHigher]

Love her in TMS! She’s so eloquent too

[@English-cr2ys]

I bet every Korean watching this is nodding, not shaking their heads. It’s a very common expression in Korea, but doesn’t have any serious implications. I think it just provides some relief from the mood becoming too awkward when someone is crying, by making them crack up, laugh, whatever.

[@rlacksgh9673]

It's a real saying in Korean. I don't know if it has philosophical meaning, I just remember using it to make fun of other kids during my kindergarten years.

[@sisishahideh9501]

I love these shows, I have lived my life mostly in UK So I love the sense of humor of the British much, The Graham Nortons shows, makes me laugh aloud, thanks for showing them on Utupr❤

[@al201103]

I'm from the UK. Not my favourite place. Have been living elsewhere for about 20 years now I think. But still, the British sense of humour - and, to be honest, it's evident in pretty much everybody over there - is something I absolutely love and am proud of.

IT IS A TYPICAL KOREAN EXPRESSION I AM NODDING MY HEAD

Boy George whips out the perfect Joni Mitchell quote 👍

[@IndomitableT]

Indeed, the true professional singer who knows his lines, including those of his idols😃

[@Donegal62]

Sam Smith

[@Biotoze]

Damn I don’t think I’ve ever seen Miriam shocked before. 😂

[@swimmingmintinyoutub]

I believe it's about having mood swing. One minute you cry and the next you are laughing. It's like teasing gently about swinging mood specially you are a kid as if they are changing mind all the time. I am born and bred Korean btw, now aware of anything to do with war...

[@NightwingTV]

Seeing Miriam shocked is quite wild

[@trintube68]

George quoting Joni at the end FTW

[@christinestafford6701]

It IS a common proverb. I always took it as- don’t take yourself too seriously.

[@aceuxroo]

it'll be interesting to know how many times miriam margolyes and kylie minogue have been on the show. they seem to be the show's favorite guests

[@IndomitableT]

She seems to be in the top ten according to IMDb. Dame Judi Dench and Jack Whitehall holding the record.🏆☺️

[@markdaly1648]

I loved Olivia Colemans dig at Jack Whitehall. She seemed really annoyed at his appalling attempt at an American accent. When he was in clifford the big red dog. They play the clip and graham set it up asked about his American accent and Olivia Coleman acidly asked where in the clip have you got an American accent?

[@ajsanderson2737]

Miriam's face @ 0.44 !! she's shookethhh 😂

[@gloriakoo]

That’s a real saying in Korea😂 I’ve heard of that when I was younger before immigrating to USA. I don’t really know what to make of that saying though🙄

[@jordanm1438]

My parents used to say that to me.

[@jasperherr8694]

Miriam Margolyes reminds me of Spirited Away's Yubaba

[@deseop51]

1:35 it's a typical expression, yes. someone in korea is now nodding and just shocked wow I've just heard the sentence in english I know another version of the proverb: 울다가 웃으면 엉덩이에 뿔난다

[@brunofauquet685]

Greta Lee has the same voice as Kirsten Dunst, hasn't she?

[@AutumnOnFire]

Takes a lot to get Miriam to go 😯

[@puspavelai8353]

To *actually* give more thought to that "saying" - and, *trying* to give it some, 'context' - a melodramatic series could evolve out of it - *but* "They laugh and cry at the same time!" that's why...- let's keep Graham Norton's level-headed agreeableness!

[@thesubhumancomedy]

It felt like that could gone furder. Been even better

[@famlife123]

울다가 웃으면 엉덩이에 털난다 is the word she was trying to say - we do say it a lot, but not in a serious way I think growing up, we used it to make friends feel better and make them laugh more when they cried, then laughed bc they felt better

[@senguptasayn]

Very rare to see Miriam tongue tied.

[@markdaly1648]

She is very careful what she says after blunder on the today program at 8.30 am. On radio 4. As much as people loathe Jeremy hunt. You cannot swear on British radio at that hour of the morning. She is still morto about it

[@9liveslisa]

That is one hell of a saying.

[@junwoopark1843]

As a Korean, I gotta say, I've never seen anyone who ludicrously interprets a practical joke like some sort of a serious matter XDDDD. That saying is only used for children and to stop them crying lmfao

[@Nunov103]

Greta is so beautiful ☺️

[@trex1448]

Its a saying. Its like how comedian Bobby Lee tells the story of how his mom was walking with her 5 year old sister to school after the Korean War and realized that she forgot something at home so she told her 5 year old sister to wait and she'll run home and be right back. When she ran home and came back her 5 year old sister was was dead and in pieces on the road bc she had been hit and run over by a US miltary jeep that used to tear around Korea back then. So she went home got her parents who came and had to pick up pieces of their daughter. Out of that trauma you somehow have the their sons who are f'ed up but hilarious.

[@zZ38PYB50guA9PUuDhAI]

I thought it was a joke to make kids stop crying...

Wait! Shiv is aussie or something?

[@AKASANJEEWA]

South Asians are famous for laughing and crying. So its true 😂😂😂😂😂

[@CBoapinta]

Oh dear. This? This is what now constitutes a highlight from the Graham Norton Show? How the mighty have fallen...

[@markdaly1648]

Due to wga strike and sag aftra. He cannot get the guests on like he used and I have noticed for the first time ever I kind of stiffness Laura linneys appearance was weird. Asking graham not to mention her other work was very odd. What was up with that

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Not Sarah talking about russian playwright/writer in times when EVERYTHING RUSSIAN is rightfully ostracized! How out of touch these celebs are? Sarah, Checkov did not invent crying through laughter, ffs, it's a common expression, and it's a truth of life!

[@colnag2158]

You know, now we can tap on a profile and see the comments that someone has left. Based on your comments, you’re either a troll trying to bait people, delusional, or yourself hopelessly out of touch

Right, that's Russian literature and music out then. Borscht and blinis too. Now that France is back in the good books, time to ditch the Freedom Fries for some proper frites and a side of snails.

[@bodgie6256]

I think she was just trying to say she didnt need to quote it verbatim cause we wouldnt know the difference anyway.no need to get salty

[@GayNeekOG]

It's a common expression. Not sure if there is any meaning behind it. It's just something said a lot to stop kids from crying.

[@kimbuktu6117]

It implies that inconsistency doesn't suit you. Stay true and avoid being fickle.
