The reason John sounds more American than British is because although he was born in Britain, he moved to America in 1975 and spent most of his life there. He still has a very thin part of a British accent as far as I'm concerned.
John Barrowman was born in Glasgow, Scotland and raised in America. He learned an American accent after kids made fun of him for his original Scottish one. He still uses his original Scottish accent when speaking with his relatives or, at times, with other Scottish people.
I wonder how much of a Scottish accent he still has, though. The couple of times he attempted one in this episode, it didn't sound very natural. I'm Australian and went to high school in the US, and though I've been back here for years, I still haven't got my accent back fully. When I'm tired (or drunk!) people tell me I sound American.
Thanks for the upload! Connection totally should've had the graphics flip around as appropriate so the pink player (you) didn't have to step so awkwardly all the way across.
Thanks for this Video Sharing! I love the Pressure Pad with John Barrowman. John is so professional. She Looks so smart. I have live see him of this year in Panto. Nice Video
Hmm, the concept is good, and I like the elimination style mechanic for the show, but I'm not too sure about the payout. It seems very low for the amount of work they have to do to get that. I think it would be better if the purse was higher.
Maybe not for a half hour game show, but we're talking about a show that is on for a full hour, and has some pretty elaborate set design going for it. I think they can afford a larger payout (don't have to be millions of dollars, but SOMETHING better than what they did. And for the work they had to do to EARN that money, they could've been able to part with more than what they were willing to.
i think it's stupid how in that first challenge the time runs out even while the host is reading the question. if a person gets a longer question, they have much less time to answer.
@@db20987db John was born in Scotland but moved to America and learnt to talk in a American accent because of getting bullied for having a Scottish accent but he still uses his Scottish accent when in Glasgow or with his family
5:34 He said 'Babuska' with stress on U, but it has to be on A and its pronunciation is like [a:]. But it was so suddenly. And I liked it. P.S. I am from Russia, if anyone didn't understand...
He's originally from Scotland, but his family moved to America when he was very young. He only picked up an American accent because the kids in school were teasing him for his Scottish accent, but he reverts back to it when he's with his family or partner.

He’s also in Torchwood. My mom is watching that show on HBOMax.
2013 was quite the year of games shows...

Born and raised in Glasgow Scotland until he was six, then raised in Illinois.

Andrew Hain He can switch accents at will. He still has a thick Scottish accent.
I was thinking was that

😀 nice comment
Yep! It feels unfair

My9 (My Network TV) should bring this back in the US.
£2000 split 5 ways! Their bosses better start looking for new employees.

Nah that is plenty, they're not supposed to become millionaires of a game show.

JD Shadow It may be low but at least they don't have to do an all-or-nothing endgame just to win something.
Keith Panton yeah like Catchphrase is one of a few game shows I can name that doesn’t do an All or nothing. There isn’t many anymore though
It’s for fun
Plus that’s plenty, I don’t know how much you get payed but most of us struggle getting what we want but just get on with our lives
I could hear a little bit of John's accent
fiyero51 Mostly he sounds American and then all of a sudden a bit of Scottish kicks in.
Anyone else thought that the sides question in round three was sicles, not sides?
Deadline is like the head to head in Rebound
Hope this comesback :D
hope they bring it back
i think it's stupid how in that first challenge the time runs out even while the host is reading the question. if a person gets a longer question, they have much less time to answer.
Do you have series 2 episode 1 ?
The host sounds like Willy wonka XD
They won't go for it
hooold on that's the guy from doctor who!
svampebob007 Yes it is!
Yeah no we get it, its called Preassure Pad....
check 17:59 for Barrowman's real voice when he says 'nervous'
He's from Glasgow Scotland
Yes :/

This show is too intense!
All that pressure for only 2000 participants are nice people I guess
Hard to believe that Captain Jack is the host. And the fact that one of his nationalists is mine.
Where's he at these days? His role in Doctor Who must have gotten people to want to see more of him in other projects.
@@djpunyer8762 Yes, I am American, but that’s only his second nation. Captain Jack is Scottish of origin.

Such a slow game!
This is not boring... I don't think this is a bad and slow game.
wow
Since when was Cork part of the British Isles?
The British Isles includes the full islands.
Only 2000 pounds? Pretty weird prize money.
+Vire70 Unless this is a Daytime show, then it makes sense. If this were a nighttime show, the budget would be bigger.
Do you know what pounds are?
yeah, worth fuckall now
rekt
PIX Promos & More It was a daytime show.
42:03
Smart move.
They only made 555 U.S dollars each.
You don't know who JRR Tolkien is? HOW?
I feel offended that she doesn’t know Maurice Sendak from Where The Wild Things Are also.
whut. she doesn't know who JRR Tolkien is!?
the british isles and the first question is to do with Cork in Ireland?!! in case you dont know we aint part of the british isle!
Ireland is part of the British Isles. It is a geographical term rather than a political one. Google it.
@@louisericketts6738Yes, Ireland is part of the British Isles but not part of Great Britain.
Oi
