So Graham Norton 2000-S3xE12 Bea Arthur, Stephanie Powers-part 2

Tonight's guests include Stephanie Powers and Bea Arthur. Part 2
Produced by So TV. I do not own or claim anything.
Aired: 02/25/2000

[@arianapuzzo7100]

Bea's sharp wit here is so reminiscent of Dorothy. No wonder she delivered those one-liners so well.

[@rarmccoy]

She was a female Marine. One of her performance reviews described her personality and it was pretty much Dorothy all the way. From what I understand, there wasn't much acting involved; for most purposes, Bea WAS Dorothy. And how blessed we all have been because of it. Hand salute!

[@jimhaggard7436]

As I’ve said before, I wish the Golden Girls had aired for fifteen seasons instead of seven. Bea and Betty (not to mention my favorite Rue-Rue) were still so sharp in 2000-2001, their characters could so easily have aged gracefully from 55-70.

[@ricky_rue_official2150]

“I was pumping pedals at the time.” Haha Bea was the greatest

Oh Bea, SNAP! Timing, spot on. Perfect delivery. Still got it! Still golden lol

[@jamesp504]

Bea was so sharp, full of wit. She was a treasure. I don't think that kind of celebrity exists anymore.

[@annettesjoy]

She was a treasure?? I don't think so, do some research.

The main actresses from my two favourite TV shows! I cannot believe I haven’t seen this show before, love them both!

[@RoeLuv1]

Bea is so naturally funny.

[@WelLRoundeDSquarE]

Oh dear God, I've been in love with Stephanie Powers since she was The Girl From Uncle. She is still breathtaking.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Stephanie still looked great even then!! awesome!!

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

Stefanie is now 80!

Bea was naturally witty and hilarious!!

I *love* stef’s laugh in response!

What a funny lady, Bea was...R. I. P. The golden girls are on again.. I absolutely love that show. Its on channel 5- it makes my day.

My Mother’s name was Beatrice. We are also from NYC and Jewish. I love Bea’s. 🥂🍾

love Bea Arthur!

[@MIS315]

I never knew bea was so sharp and witty

[@QueenCityHistory]

OMG Bea Arthur AND Stefanie Powers. ..sigh.....2 of my favorite ladies!!!!

[@narcher91]

I sent Bea Arthur a letter as a 14 year old from Manchester, England. Three weeks later I received a signed photo in return in the post, she didn’t have to do that. As you’re all wondering, I turned out completely straight.

[@torresongs2]

The guy that made the Betty's Tongue cake was a hottie!

[@georgecaldwell704]

+torres songs OMG Yes he was!

[@wisheduknew294]

hell yeah he was ...

[@bo2720]

He was FINE as hell

[@aelius93]

u know, when u get someone like bea arthur u should give her the whole show. He didn't let her talk AT ALL. It was just him on the computer and the phone.

[@Dantalion15]

I agree

[@topgurl9313]

clearly you don't know Graham Norton. He is not a proper interviewer (certainly not back then) and he knows he isn't. He just casually chats to his guests which is one reason why famous people like him: they know he won't delve deep or try to upset them

[@rachelfairfield8755]

I know right, I think he should of talked more about the golden girls and her career, that's what he's doing now with his guests

[@gekost79]

I totally agree with you.

[@dohaperson1]

It's the second part of an interview...the entire first part was Bea alone

[@nothingspecial98]

all my sarcasm was inspired by Maude

[@Cchouette]

We ❤️ Stephanie Powers

[@wisheduknew294]

LOVE Bea & Stefanie!

[@apoliticallevi]

Can we mention how amazing that dog is?!?

[@peter0010]

I loved it. I had one too when I was a kid

[@tracer740]

Funniest talk show on television and ... with the most interesting guests!

[@elenabrandsma899]

I just love Bea, loved her also in Golden Girls. Think she and the other girls are amazing. Of course Graham is great as always ;)

[@laurenguthrie85]

The tart to tart segment omg lol

[@khylerin70]

"...I was pumping pedals at the time ". 👍👍😅😅😅😅😅

[@azzuro79]

The show should have been all about Bea Arthur...

[@wisheduknew294]

why? they are BOTH super...

[@showguyusa]

This is the second half. The first half was all Bea Arthur.

[@pjbfny]

can i just say i love british tv. even 19 years on, this would NOT fly on a US network

[@lareinadiondra6027]

Why's that?

[@robinnes2662]

Tbf it’d struggle on UK networks these days.

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

Probably would on HBO…

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

@@lareinadiondra6027 writing from the US. Because we have something called “the Hayes codes/laws” from the 1920’s. Folks became so uptight over “decency” that various laws were passed. Then a show called “NYPD Blue” came along in 1993 and folks became angry and upset over the nudity and language. So upset, that when an episode was being broadcast that had “questionable language” and/or nudity, a “disclaimer” was seen/heard, usually voiced by one of the series’ regulars, James McDaniel: Paraphrasing: “This episode contains language and nudity that might be objectionable to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.” Now, when an episode is aired, the “objectionable language” might be censored, and any nudity is blurred.

[@pjbfny]

@@Quaker-tc8ue Yes. However "network" refers to non-premium tv Like CBS, NBC, CW, Fox (which is unrelated to Fox News, for those unfamiliar with that tv network).

[@zapfanzapfan]

"Nor have I" :-)

[@peter0010]

12:33 when Bea hears that the audience member has won a trip to Paris 😂

[@JohnDoe-sg1pd]

I was raised on a steady diet of Hart to Hart and Golden Girls.

[@shanefolan9175]

I used to watch Hart to Hart every Monday after school back in the 90s.

[@mixdboi88]

Start at 12:23 and peep Bea's face when he says Paris

[@lmordro]

I have to be honest. I wasn't looking at Bea. Robyn is a cutie.

Maravilhosa entrevista

[@jessica.santillo]

Ah!! This was a little hard to watch for a bit. I just can't believe he had just Bea sitting there while he was interviewing/talking to someone else and looking at useless cakes. When you have someone like Bea Arthur, an actress of that type of caliber on your show, a QUEEN like her.... She deserves ever minute. Every SECOND.

[@orgami100]

The guy is just a court jester. .🎭

[@gavone1980]

Jessica Santillo you do realize this is the 2nd of 2 parts. He talked to Bea before Stephanie came out. Also, people don't seem to be acquainted with Bea's penchant for raunchy humor. Listen to some tracks from her one woman Broadway show.

[@adelucas4824]

Bea loved doing Grahams show for that exact reason. She was able to talk and chat but it was light hearted and silly. She hated chat shows generally but loved this one.

[@monikavandenovic4387]

this episode was aired on 2/25/2000. Bea Arthur died 9 years later on 4/25/2009.

[@lizclegg7556]

I think it was really nice when they used to send people on weekends away rather than just give them the money, it was more special. The American guests were also so impressed when people won citybreaks to Paris and Rome etc.

What in the absolute fuck. He has an absolute legend sitting in front of him and he calls Joe Pedo Schmoe? God, I would have just stood up and walked off. What an INSULTING interview. He clearly doesn't deserve her grace, wit and charm. She was amazingly gracious during that fiasco.

[@HK-qn4rz]

Indeed tasteless show!

[@TT-js4jn]

Two class Acts, very inappropriately there... they handled it like Champs but I was embarrassed for them.

He talks too much. I wanted to hear more from The Great Bea Arthur.

[@gekost79]

He was soooooooooooo disrespectful!!!! Bea Arthur barely talked!!! He was talking most of the time. (and yes i know Graham Norton). It's like inviting Mahatma Gandi to talk about painting nails and beauty tips!!!

[@mtlguymtl]

It was her time in the first part.

[@immunemovie4532]

Disrespectful. I know. Fuck off

[@BunnySlippers82]

[@desertrose1226]

Graham’s ok-He’s a bit of a tit but he’s funny on occasion I’m not fussed on many Irish or British comedians tbh. American comedy is funnier. Bea was a legend.
