[@michaelhatherley3447]

This is hands down the greatest talk show on the planet. I WISH we had a show like this in the US.

[@enigmatic474]

+Michael Hatherley Impossible. You'd need to change the law to allow swearing and drinking on tv.

[@michaelhatherley3447]

Tom I know. That's why it's a wish

[@TheShadowcus]

+Michael Hatherley You have Jimmy Fallon he's by far the best tal.....sorry I couldn't finish that sentence without laughing

[@michaelhatherley3447]

+Michael Heffernan Jimmie's good but you get the feeling that his show is scripted and he forces it along at times. you never get that with Graham. That's just part of the reason I like his show.

[@TheShadowcus]

Michael Hatherley I feel that Jimmy plays too much into what will get his show publicity, he'll play silly games to get views on KZbin and yet the people he interviews barely get to promote what they came on the show for.

[@cor8129]

There is NOT a better talk show than this. I live in the USA and can testify that NOTHING (Talk Shows) compares to this show.

[@zsazsabrown7621]

I live in the UK, and I can assure you that Graham Norton is the best talk show in this country, too. Nothing even close.

[@burns9281]

craig ferguson was pretty good, not as good as norton but not to far off either

[@wethepeople5753]

Burns, I loved Craig Ferguson, but I think having all the guests on at once, and for the entire show is brilliant. We can see them interact with one another as well as the host, making for much more fun. And the Red Chair is one of the best forms of entertainment I've seen.

[@burns9281]

like totally (lol) agree. but yes i agree, have them all on at once and for pretty much the whole show is the best way to go. when i watch a usa talk show i watch for the guest, which i get 7 to 10 min of, i DO NOT tune in for a half hour of the monolague. norton figured it out, 3 min of jokes then bring out the guests for the rest of the show(and give them alcohol)

[@abyp1883]

Another one to concur ! this time all the way from india. Aye aye cor8120, i agree too...the best of the best is Graham Norton, its so smooth and entertaining, no abuse, no made up one liner jokes and doing it again n again n again...so good that it doesnt make sense on HOW. That good!

[@ThanatoselNyx]

When she said Giraffe, I really thought she had said Draught.

[@Easypeazy12]

Me too😹

[@sergeantshelby6142]

Me too lol

[@mrjcar03]

Yeah me too. I had to watch the video three times to understand that word

[@revertrevertz5438]

I thought she said “jap” and “draft” 🤣🤣

[@boreanaz16]

Reminds me of when Chris Pratt did an Essex accent

[@scruffydingo7983]

when he wos in ebeefa?

[@TonyEnglandUK]

lol Chris Pratt's Essex accent is just so good

[@hppi005]

Looking at the title and the start of first story, I was like 'this is gonna be an interesting story - 'coz how the hell his dad could punch a giraffe in a bar'

[@murphln]

Graham Norton is so clever & witty. He's got the best immediate comebacks -- "A safari?... Is that where you got that coat?"!!!

[@ahmednabil9914]

her father punched the giraffe, the driver tried to shoot the tranquilizer and drive at the same time so the car went sideways and then it ended. what's there not to understand?

[@SlowBurnAngel]

+Ahmed Nabil Her accent, I guess. And thank you for translating that by the way!

[@rosequeen7897]

It sounded like she was saying that the giraffe was driving the car or something XD

[@Dazzledbylight]

Did she say the giraffe climbed in the car or the guy with the gun climbed in? She's obviously NOT a student of the English Language ;)

[@calebmatthews2026]

I thought the giraffe drove the car away

[@sanityenjoyer]

Ahmed Nabil I thought she was saying draft

[@susanmorgan9074]

Remember the time when the Wanted were a thing, also Nathan Skyes looks so young

[@AkshayDhargave]

They were great!! All 3 albums are amazing.

[@someone-go8ee]

aren't there five member tho? Could only see four

[@rihana21x]

The other one is at the front for some reason

[@hanx9782]

I love that they made her sound posh in the title 😂 When she actually says "my dad punches it in the 'ead"

[@NR-jr4sf]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@haplessasshole9615]

Watching Graham Norton is like being at a party with the smartest, funniest people you know. He's so good at creating connections, and eliciting great stories from his guests. I hope he lives and makes chat shows forever!

[@LMW87MMA]

She said "my dad punched a giraffe in the head" and they never reference it? How could they just let that one slip?

[@jmatt4life]

OMG!!! The red chair segments are such a treat to watch!

[@JordanLeeUK]

oh my god its adele from the hello video

[@khollyo]

This was 10 years ago, wow , time flys.

[@JosephSchneider26]

I thought “punch the giraffe“ meant something else...

[@cocochanel3074]

You got that rite! One of the best talk shows. Love Graham.

[@genehofmann6044]

I just love this show. It makes me laugh every episode

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

I look forward to this show here in American every week!!!

[@jonathaneffemey4892]

Thanks so much for posting.

[@TheRuiMartins]

On the first guest, Norton pushed the lever cause he did not like to see himself reflected on the mannerisms of Mr Josh...! I could see that coming even b4 the guest started the story...!

[@user-br3bw7wr2l]

Rui Martins An interesting observation.

[@gootballe583]

Or he was boring

[@vb8428]

@Reckoning you crazy

[@resnonverba137]

@ARC-5555 'Fives' 'You don't understand' sums it up rather well.

[@grrrrrrlful]

I'm French and I understood perfectly what she was saying...

[@veronicav1779]

yes there was no problem understanding and I'm Irish, fuck off Helen Mirren being a snob , England class system rears its ugly head in the form of Helen Mirren

[@emackb1457]

Yeah and I’m American and I understood the whole story as well

[@TonyEnglandUK]

@@veronicav1779 C'mon, that wasn't necessary and the comment isn't worthy of you, Veronica

[@masterchief-vd1xs]

German and she said something about Kenia😂

[@xClown55]

0:28 killed me

[@leemumbray-williams2440]

How I love Graham Norton and his show. Hi Graham, thanks to the lift to Amersham recently. My neighbours were tickled pink to see you and that gorgeous sports car parked outside my house and they all wanted to know how I knew you!

[@cc22ful]

I didn't understand what she was saying, but it's still the greatest story I've ever heard.

[@isabellopez9075]

Emily Blunt just lives there, doesn't she?

[@AswathReacher]

isabel lopez 😬😂😂😂

[@lockodonis]

Most of that couch work in b and q now!!

[@hafizur91]

lmao public sector....

[@HALLAWEENBOY]

i love how helen mirren carnt understand her

[@LauraTW4EVA]

[@TheChloe4tom]

i just love that the wanted are there x

[@medamin941]

Graham northon is the best

[@Hoganply]

Excluding Helen, Ed and Emily, of course.

[@beantrix]

@aarrum lol she actually does 2:10

[@catherinerosa-baker2937]

😂

[@CP-tx5kv]

Public sector!!

[@caddycottan1697]

That guy at the beginning was clearly lying. The first clue was the long hesitation thus meaning that he was thinking of something. The next clue was that you can not work "for" the public sector but you can work in it. The third clue was that he was not being specific as there are so many areas in the public sector such as health and transport

[@mariacullen6399]

Public section, aka, civil service, aka' taxpayers' so you do work 'for'.them not in them. your location would refer to 'in'.... ..

[@willlovell7289]

I think he had a bit of a stammer because he paused before most words beginning with B or P. Graham hadn't realised when he made the joke though

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Move over, Sherlock Holmes, Monaldo is in town.

[@rayari7907]

His job could be complicated and he didn't want to confuse the guests.

[@84Elenai]

@@TonyEnglandUK hello 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, and thank you, you made me laugh.

[@kroschfoenigin]

i really wanted to hear joshs story...

[@saiken811]

I kept hearing "draft" instead of "giraffe"… I got really confused…

[@Squishiefuzz]

@Katantunoro LOL

[@f.greene]

Siobhan is not pleased.

[@HarryPotter-zd3sh]

I hope you're not referring to Helen Mirren or Ed Byrne!

[@redcarwiredify]

@NielsenHenriette they are a band called The Wanted.

[@shouryuuken100]

So much for Britain's education system

[@lovez2eat]

@bethanygraceblack sorry I didn't saw the part where they sing :D are they popular in Britain?

[@cristianoronaldo779]

@niallswand lol

[@JackCarlisleOfficial]

That's crazy. When I was like 5 or so i was at the zoo with my dad after the giraffe fence's well peetty low and the giraffes could get their heads next to people and you'd pay like 50 cents for a handful of some animal feed from somewhat of and old gumball machine. Well this giraffe grabbed my hat off my head and my dad put it in a headlock and smacked the shit out of it till he dropped it.

[@kroschfoenigin]

I thought she was saying 'draft' the whole time... "We get to the draft-bit and sit in the draft..." That's the real pain of being a non-native speaker: you always try to make it work in your head and you're always left feeling incredibly stupid when you realize that it was just a funny accent thing... Gi-raffe... Uh, got it in the end...

[@Georgeifyable]

Drops the guy as soon as he finds out he's gay. I lol'd.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Funny

[@scruffydingo7983]

Is that where you got that coat…

[@PlantVanHelsing]

@aarrum Yes, I did. It's true.

[@tillyhossain1049]

i'm sorry but young Nathan is adorable...

[@Estonian4life]

@halogen123 I know, right? You understood how good I am at speaking english =D?

[@josephelias6269]

fing, innit..🙈

[@conkrcstf6405]

She did not enjoy that coat joke

[@PapaBurgandy111]

Ed Byrne, Kenya does indeed rhyme with younger, in most accents.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

I worry about your accent.

[@nanycolmcr]

Nathan from The Wanted

[@NielsenHenriette]

@redcarwiredify I see, Thanx :-)

[@andyhp7]

@southernbrooklyngal OH MY! Thanks! ;)
