James At after and an awful waste of time on my part, i’ve came to the conclusion that 2 syllable names also apply to this. for example, my name is nicole and you’d have to drag out the ending of the name with an extra syllable when singing just like you would with a name like “jack” or “jade”
woah woah woah wait a second. but “sophie” is 2 syllables but you don’t have to drag it out. same with “jessie”. same with “ellie”. and “katherine” and “adam”. but not “nicole”!
@@graceyhammer It's because with Nicole, second syllable is stressed whereas with Sophie, Jessie, Ellie etc. the first syllable is stressed. If you really wanted to you could sing Nicole without dragging out the syllables, but it would make the name sound weird (like nickel).
It would not be suprising. In showbusiness having a stage name is pretty common, and many performers in UK are forced to change their name because of what Hugh said in that clip - you can't have two different artists with same name in the same union at the same time. For example David Walliams is actually David Williams, but there already was David Williams when he was joining the union.
This is madness, I tell you, MADNESS, don't DO it, Monica, for the LOVE OF GOD!! .......... thankyou 🤗 or ... you'll see! You'll ALL see!! I loved those scenes ❤️
You must be all young because you haven't picked up on the fact that the way she said she was lying and the way Phoebe said it is by doing a satire of '30s movies where actors in general spoke in a very fast high pitched way full of one liners, smart comebacks and exaggerated reactions when revealed to be guilty in '30s and '40s police films.
@@Becksnnc That's not his brother. It's a BBC journalist called John Simpson, his brother John Attenborough passed away in 2012. But they look similar though!
I had a friend that named his son 'Ed' because he hates it when people shorten names e.g. David / Dave. So I would ask "How's E?" just to mess with him
Well my parents were going to call me 'Sophie' but then didn't because my mum knew that my grandad would shorten it to 'Soph' and like your friend she hated it when people shortened names. I think it grated on her for a while when she called me 'Rebecca' instead and in the end I preferred 'Becky' anyway!
"When I started performing, I had to use my middle name, because my namesake who was already there was in charge of the naming committee" would have been an amazing one for Hugh Dennis
That's not what "namesake" means. It means _someone you're named after_ , not _someone who happens to have the same name_ . I wonder if you're getting confused because the Dutch word is ambiguous as it can mean either of those things.
The other Peter Dennis that Hugh refers to appears in Seinfeld as the theater director who asks Kramer to fire Raquel Welch. Which is probably the most boring bit of trivia you've ever heard, but it could come in handy if you ever go to a British and American sitcom crossover trivia night.
There kinda is some logic to not giving your kid a monosyllabic name. If you normally call them by the shortened version (Bob, Steve...) then use the full version when they're being naughty they know they're in trouble. With a one syllable name you can't do this.
Just make up a new multisyllable derivative of their name every time they do something wrong so that it entertains and frightens them simultaneously. Observe: "Jackolantern! Where did all the biscuits go?!", or "Jackandthebeanstalk, watch your language!".
Yeah, you're one to talk... Jack. Just kidding 😂 Yeah I get what you mean, like I like the name Charlie, but I'd name the kid Charles. Same goes for names like Lottie/Charlotte and Maddie/Madeleine etc. I also know someone who is called Katie, but her proper name is Katherine, which she's very happy about considering that she's a barrister or something and feels that abbreviated names (especially Katie, which she thinks sounds like a young girl's name) don't sound as professional sometimes :))
I watched this entire video without ever registering that I should have a stake in it with a one syllable name, maybe there's some truth behind it after all XD
I was watching this thinking, I would love to give Warwick a hug. Then I was like, better not say that, it may be offensive to little people. Then he said that to her and I wanted to hug him all over again!
What is really sweet is that she mentioned an Ex named "Bob" and she married her childhood sweetheart in 2019 named Bobby, so. I guess she didn't actually lie about everything.
My mum hates one syllable names purely because after marrying my dad her name changed from Anne mounter to Anne till, which basically sounds like ant hill
"A longer name makes the child have to remember and consider more syllables. It is such a tiny thing, but it sets the precedent and helps to encourage early growth. And a parent that does so is also more likely to encourage their brains in other ways" There's plenty of ways to give a silly statement logic 😄
The show seems a bit less refined now, not sure if that's a good thing. The questions feel less tightly structured, but at the same time it seems to allow more panellist interaction which is always great.
Roger the Shrubber A lot of panel shows do this as they run longer. Check out early Mock the Week. They used to have loads of different, highly structured rounds.
I really like british shows, like this one for example. There's this fine english humor, not overdone, classy and especially like the way they use it to poke at each other without being loud and obnoxious.
@@kaieden part of the interrogation process also is listening to replies... she was super interrupted maybe that's why some of you didn't find her so funny. Maybe you all should grasp on your privileges and check inside your asses for some better eyes and ears
considering the difference in prononciation of names in different countries, a steve can be 2 syllables - ste-ve (it's more common to be written as Steffe)
Frank Quintana Because only B Great Britain has great comedians? Ahem, Norm MacDonald, Bill Burr, Martin Short,. I'm forgetting a lot of names because I'm tired, but you get the picture.

He got the assist

If he did, we won’t know because he’d have probably wanted to pause after setting it up and Rob got in first. Or maybe he didn’t.

I wouldn't give my children 1 syllable names because their names would have to be said with an extra syllable during the birthday song.

Is 'Hugh' even a syllable? It's more of a noise.
Generality lmao

"hugh" is exactly the noise I made when uncontrollably exhaled (you know, laughing, but when alone) when I read this comment :P
I know this is an old comment, but . . . all syllables are noises.
Hugh Dennis' "My real name s Peter" story could have been on a card for the show
I think it was the next card in this particular show

In showbusiness having a stage name is pretty common, and many performers in UK are forced to change their name because of what Hugh said in that clip - you can't have two different artists with same name in the same union at the same time.

I wrote almost exactly the same idea now! After reading your comment I took it out.

@@Lark1610 I mean they did one with Christmas Kamara so it wouldn’t have been the worst lie
Rob was so quick with the "Or Ex" joke, he even beat Lee to it!

I think he's talked about it before. You'll find a lot of people you didn't realise don't use their real names because of Actors Equity.
