Ricky Gervais | Stephen Merchant | Christina Ricci | Pixie Lott on The Graham Norton Show 2010

Transmission date: 14.04.2010

[@l.n.9392]

Not many people can compete with Gervais and Merchant in the witty stakes, but Ricci is excellent here. 100 percent lovable.

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Slurs her words, though. I hope she's not on too many tranqs. But she seems bright.

I almost fell in love with Christina after seeing her on this show. I love her personality and the way she carries herself.

[@MysticalJessica]

Christina Ricci is so addictive!!

[@NormAppleton]

She's pretty cool, smart girl.

[@randomobserver8168]

She clearly has a very different temperament from Norton, Merchant or Gervais but nonetheless a wicked sense of humour in her own right and she played off all of them really well.

[@Dazlidorne]

I love how Stephen and Ricky genuinely make each other laugh. That's how you know their comedy is amazing.

[@katherina7741]

This is one of the best episodes of Graham. 😂

[@PhilLewis-xg7iv]

That noise she makes at 8.32 is so, so, adorable. This is one of the best episodes of graham nortons show. Defo in the top 10 ever.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

8:31 Agreed

[@roxydzey]

she is so childish, she still sounds like a sweet kid and its crazy to think that she acted as wednesday when she was a kid.

[@PhilLewis-xg7iv]

@roxydzey yeah, does anyone know how old she was here. It must a long time ago because ricky was thin here. Such a great episode, all three and of course graham, all clicked here.

[@eltorocal]

@@roxydzey "childish" is so NOT the word. Youthful barely fits, because she has experienced what youth has not. She is quite mature, yet spritely open and spirited.

[@eltorocal]

@@PhilLewis-xg7iv She was 30.

[@mattsmith7490]

Christina is still adorable when Graham pulls out the yearbook. The way she reacted was priceless.

Christina Ricci for me will always be the angel taking Moby into the light, in 'Natural Blues'

[@benwu7980]

Wow, I bought Play the day it was released, and just now went to watch the video of Natural Blues for the first time. Hard to describe emotions.

Christina Ricci's reactions when Graham Norton pulls out her yearbook and when the first person in the chair is levered backwards.

[@JustineDodd]

It's an opossum! Am I the only one who yelled this at the screen in hysterics?

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

The opossum is native to the Americas, which is why no one in Britain has seen one, although Ricci should've known. And yes, I too felt like I was the loner in a world full of ignoramuses when no one could identify it, Graham even thinking it was an OWL at one point.

[@kellygable1668]

[@jasonrobertson216]

At 29:00 actually brings a tear to my eye, cause my wife, daughters, and I had a house pet possum George for 5 years and also recently had Nova for just under 3 years - both died of old age. I got so close to Nova that i said no more possums whenever she passed away, they tie with dogs as #1 favorite type of pet to have. They are too sweet for their own good, probably why they have such short lifespans.

[@jaysparrow6631]

@@christheghostwriternot sure if you know Craig Ferguson when he used to do the late late show in America but if you haven’t I strongly recommend that you do as his interview technique is far more relaxed and it’s as if one is there engaged and to answer your question I’ve met Tina Turner and Tracy Chapman but no actresses I’m sorry to say 🥹😢

@@jaysparrow6631 Tina Turner has been in Tommy and Mad Max beyond Thunderdome so she definitely is an actress though perhaps not a Hollywood one.

[@norneaernourn8240]

This is something the US talkshows will never replicate. The guests can take a piss at each other and laugh at it. Political correctness no where to be seen.

[@NigelTolley]

I just looked it up (in 2023), and Christina was 30 here, in 2010 (43). 19yo Pixie Lott will be 32 now. And Graham is 47 (60), Ricky is 50 (62), and Stephen is 35 (48). Thank you for reading this incredibly boring comment.

[@jaerivus]

I had absolutely zero idea that there was such an age disparity between Gervais & Merchant! Kinda mind-blowing for me.

[@Dazlidorne]

26:51 I took a girl from work I liked to a restaurant for lunch. She wasn't 21 yet, but she ordered an alcoholic drink. The waiter knew that she wasn't old enough, but gave her the drink anyways, without alcohol in it. The funniest thing is after she drank it, she started acting like she was drunk! It was so funny.

[@edwardhawley9645]

Did no one ever tell Graham, that animal was a North American Opossum?? The only marsupial in North America? Apparently the real story about the little boy seated apart from the family is he wouldn't sit on their lap and it was the only way to include him at all!

[@Dazlidorne]

Someone needs to upscale this video!

7:14 Drew Barrymore was the same way. She was at her wildest when she was like 12. Getting into clubs and being served alcohol and worse. So glad she made it through.

[@tiranmelkor6348]

Those three together generate an impressive comic flow, poor Christina was caught in the crossfire.

[@davecannabis]

Stephen Merchant looks a lot like a younger Bruce Spence, the Australian actor

[@StellaAdler_]

Loved the little trio. They mesh so well together. Graham is gifted in that way. For some reason I watched his show for years & stopped during covid when people were sat in chairs. It just felt odd - like the show lost its soul. But I do hope he changed the background, orange is a great happy color, but this shade literally attacks ur eyes, it’s a bit much.

[@superviro]

Why is she speaking with an English accent? She's from California.

She was talking in her normal accent, but she was filming a movie at the time where she had an accent so maybe that made an appearance in this interview..

Stephen Merchant told that same joss stick story on another The Graham Norton Show. Again the American guest had to be explained what a joss stick was. You'd have thought he'd have learned to just say "incense" instead.
