Then i saw Jonathan Ross and chatty man and love those way better than American talk shows as far as interviewing goes.

Witty, smart, naughty, smooth and genuinely funny. His guests really seem to have a good time unlike some I've seen on Jimmy Fallon or James Corden's shows.

      Huge difference in format though. U.S. talk shows are edging ever closer toward 50/50 content vs advertising time. There is so little flow in most U.S. late night interviews, always a rush to get to whatever the actor/celeb is promoting before commercial break. By contrast there are no ad breaks on Graham's show, funny personal anecdotes can run their proper lengths, other guests can riff on the details, etc..

      And the most important thing (to me) even though it's his show, Graham knows it's not about him. People watch for the guests and want to hear what THEY have to say or what THEY think. Almost every talk show host wants to be the funniest person on the show and that's just wrong. It annoys the crap out of me. Graham doesn't tell stories or jokes just to be funny he always does it to encourage conversation and that's why he's the best talk show host on television.

    He knows how to make each of his guests feel so incredibly good. Superstars do stuff on his show, it's unbelievable. He is by far one of the most charming, funny, spontaneous and warm people I know. He also lets his guests speak, something I often really miss with American hosts and also find extremely rude.

      @@barbarakauppi9915 out of curiosity, who do *you* think are the exceptions? There also needs to be allowances made because there is a significant cultural difference when it comes to this kind of show, I think. For better or worse, they aren't allowed this kind of freedom in talk shows in the States. They're used to question, answer, question, answer, joke, question, answer, lather, rinse, repeat on all the shows.
      I will agree with you, though, that many American guests don't appear to be that bright, but I also think that is a product of the Hollywood system to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator so even if the guest is really intelligent, they aren't used to being allowed to let it show.

    • @mikearchibald744
      @mikearchibald744 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@barbarakauppi9915 The problem with the americans on is that they are usually movie stars, and you say the wrong thing in an interview and your career can be over. So usually its the really huge stars who don't really worry much who are the best guests. I don't get the feeling of pompous, but I see your point. In the US most media does nothing but talk them up, while british press is known for dragging people down, so those guests are more used to it.
      But that is largely true, on craig fergusons old show it was his interviews at first with guests in his audience that was usually the funniest part of the show. And they do that a lot too on nortons show.

      I always thought the best guest was Miriam Margolyes. I have never laughed so much in my life. But people just have a tendency of relaxing on Graham's show. The alcohol, plus none of the gossipy personal life stuff gets touched. He also teases them but about innocent things. Like the crazy Halloween outfits Harrison Ford wears during Halloween with Calista Flockhart for example. I also notice that he'll have a UK comedian on as well to get other guests relaxed. I really think that's the reason it works so much.

  • @beatrizfernandes1506
    @beatrizfernandes1506 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    One of the things that I think helps a lot in Graham's show is the research they make so as to find stories or subjects that some guests have in common. That's how sometimes you get the guests to interact with each other, without the need of the host to interveen with questions or comments. In some clips you can even see Graham just leaning on his couch appreciating the conversation between them unfolding.

      His show is not a hugbox or a simple platform for guests to promote things and have fun. He uses his privilege and reach to ask the hard hitting questions and address the elephant in the room.
      His irreverence for the pretense of courtesy is what makes him stand out from the other hosts who thrive only on light fun and little to no substance. He earned this audience all the way back when he refused to hold back at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner while President Bush and the most powerful figures in politics, media, and industry were present to hear him tear them apart.

The US has a lot going for it but Greatest fuck no, not even close, strongest yup, but there is more to a country that just having a massive millitary.

      Met him at a gay bar called the White Swan or Black Horse in East London, over 2 decades ago, and he wasn't too pleasant, he'd just started out, mentioned I liked his show, whilst both of us where waiting for drinks at the bar, he shrugged his shoulders, I rolled my eyes at him, and told him he wasn't that great and walked away,
      I think he plays up the camp, he's monopolised on the gay stereotype, and people laughed at him, and not with him, and he was a caricature of gayness, but if I'm completely honest, he was the British version of the "DeGeneres Effect" the acceptable, accessible, none threatening, self mocking face of homosexuality.

    Graham’s the best host because even though he’s the host, he’s really just a mediator for the guests. He will make a joke or start a story, but a lot of times he just sits and watches the guests talk to each other and only talks when he thinks he can contribute
    The hosts in America CAN be funny but they always make it about themselves (some less than others. Conan was the best one and Seth Meyers seems to legitimately be good at doing his research when a guest comes on)

    • @gringochucha
      @gringochucha 2 ปีที่แล้ว

And Matt Damon said it clearly "This is the most fun I've ever had on a talk show." Graham is a talk show genius. By the way, you all should watch that show with Matt, Bill and Hugh and brace yourselfs. Clooney was on a later show and said it to Graham's face "OMG...that show!"

    I love that when Stephen says "You give them alcohol?!", it is basically confirming that he has never seen the show before. All of his compliments prior to that immediately became redundant.

      Yes, he talks as if this is a secret or controversial? It seems like a regular thing on UK chat shows.

      Yeah on Alan Carr's chatty man it's even more blatant, the moment they sit down on his sofa he opens a drinks cabinet to feed them some cheap (often gross) alcohol and makes a point of drinking with the guests.

      It might just be Stephen giving Graham the opportunity to talk about it by feigning ignorance. They probably agreed what they were going to talk about before he went on.

      They rehearse every show (just like Conan and the other shows), so it was a way to ease in on the topic... Still tho, it seems like Colbert didn't like Norton at all. I felt that it was somewhat awkward...

    OK, I love Stephen. But Graham is the best. What makes his show the best is having a bunch of guests out at once. Often, he just let's them entertain each other, and it's great.

    This is so fucking weird, these are my two favourite talk show hosts. To see them in one room and their styles clash is bizarre

      Honest I actually don't think they're that different. I think they exist in different television environments so their shows feel different because of that.

      I think the interview went well, but it's soooo weird to see them together.

    This is the first time I'm finishing a Stephen clip, that just goes to show how much power Grahams got over me
