The hosts of Sunday Brunch trying to contain James for 21 minutes straight

[@mungobestmage]

I like to imagine the producers bring James on as some sort of sadistic joke being played on their brutally dry hosts.

[@IAmUnderwater]

That entire cast is so mundane, only James could make this show bearable.

[@moihawk666]

so real.... how do even have a show without him?

[@Looneylovegood]

I think the hosts did fine, and were genuinely laughing. They clearly like James whereas everyone else rarely made a sound.

[@keelyatlover739]

Some people probably think he’s just being rude. They don’t get it.

[@Floralgamingdisplay]

They're all on the show for their 15 minutes and he keeps stealing the show lol.

His humour seems to go over the head of the rest of the cast on this show

[@jayare888]

everyone is saying the hosts were fake laughing but i thought it sounded like genuine surprised laughter, but i’ve honestly never seen this show before so idk

[@Amodh1257]

from someone who has also never seen the show before, it seems more like the table crew were uninteractive than the hosts being dull honestly

5:32 James is looking more right every day lol

[@Beepsheep252]

Why does he look so much hotter here than usual? Is it the lighting? Is it the yellow sweater? All we know is, it's definitely the hair.

[@samantha7549]

he hasn't shaved

[@SvobodovaEva]

What do you mean, he always looks hot

[@j0rd4ns]

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

Mustard is his color. Also his hair neatly parted looks best although I also like it when he has it unkempt and wildly curly

[@patrickaustin8631]

Love how Tim and Simon just roll with it, real professionals 😂

[@janed8785]

Hearing James say he owns 550 albums from 2016 and that he's "put that to bed now" makes me just wanna go "oh honey no"

[@Quixan]

Oh honey no, as in he should buy more from 2016? Or what

[@janed8785]

@@Quixan i'm gonna be honest with you, i do not remember what i was referring to when i wrote this comment. my guess would be that he said somewhere that he owns a lot more than 550 now, i just don't remember where he'd have said that.

[@jacobanteau6020]

I agree with the man on albums. I've been listening to albums exclusively for the better part of 4 years now and there's no going back for me.

[@CosmicGirl02]

I still listen to music on my ipod classic as well, nice one James!

[@spinal_capped]

CosmicGirl02 Same here. Exact same model, too! Why would I want a touchscreen and internet on an iPod when I have an iPhone? Only my iPhone can’t hold 160GB of music, while being practically bulletproof...

[@JasperJanssen]

Keaton 峠 Touge my iPhone can hold more than 160 gigs of music. Not bulletproof though, to be fair.

[@Reorganiser]

The hosts give me the vibe as if they were just some James Acaster fans who just happen to be the hosts of this show. They behave exactly like I would if I was put into a situation with a celeb I admire and I don't know how to feel about it

[@RandomShenaniganery]

his voice is also 10/10

[@EvilSarma]

Maybe it's just me, but seeing that all those people looking at him like he is making full of himself, while completely stealing the show and keeping focus solely on him is marvelous... :)

[@skunks8424]

well its not the whole episode is it, read the name of the video. whos name does it say?

[@jasonkoch7617]

Best bit is at 2:56 you can see the host shake his head privately after being embarrassed about making an off arm gesture

[@indira.creates]

Watching this in 2020, and James wasn’t wrong. In fact it came sooner.

[@lucyq1445]

Happy birthday James!

[@svnnybvddy]

Wow, he predicted the apocalypse

[@patton9123]

i've seen the 'hate crime in a glass' clip before and didn't think anything of it, then it took me watching until the end of this entire video to realise that that man is judge fucking rinder and it has sent me reeling hjenbdsjk

[@fnhs90]

I fucking love him and this channel

[@jdedredhed]

I live for 3:15 Just that smile

[@rocketforthree4479]

Wait a second, there's no studio audience applause, no laughter, and no music. That's why this show is so awkward, it just hit me. Everytime someone speaks it echos like its in a vast empty room. And whenever someone does laugh, it sounds like 3 guys from the camera crew. What the heck is going on here. Maybe its just a UK thing to not have an audience, but daytime shows like this have audiences here in Canada, instead of long shots of silent, unimpressed guests.

[@j0rd4ns]

Not only that- it's the sheer amount of people they have there. When there are like 15? people all on the same soundstage not even including crew and no ones laughing ('cept the two hosts) it feels empty.

[@rocketforthree4479]

@@j0rd4ns I agree, Also, each show is 3 hours long, and it looks like all the guests stay throughout the whole episode, not just when it's their segment/interview. I get the impression that they're just waiting for the show to finish. Other day-shows have guests come and then go backstage when they're done, or even go home. Instead the guests sort of sit there in silence when the focus doesn't involve them and are occasionally asked a question.

Thanks for uploading ! I’m a bit late to the game, as James Acaster came on the comedy scene after I moved to the US …. but mostly thanks to clips of Mock The Week, I bloody love the bloke. His humour is just so out there, as he has such a spontaneous, train of consciousness way of speaking, as well as a different way of looking at things. Another thing I love is the way he just stares off into the middle distance while he’s talking to someone, like he’s also getting messages from the mother ship ! 😂😂😂 Without someone like Ancaster though, it doesn’t seem like this show (Sunday Brunch) is worth the time of day. Just an honest question though …. Are the two hosts a gay couple ? They certainly seem like it !

[@pearkore6821]
