Graham Norton: All Episodes Talk

[StatisticalOutlier]

Since there's so little traffic, and setting up a thread for an episode is kind of a PITA with listing the episode number and the guests, I'll try doing an all episodes thread.

So I'll proceed to name the guests 😄  but the couch with Eddie Redmayne, Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Denzel Washington was fairly enjoyable.  Nothing epic, but a nice way to spend a highly edited hour.  I felt bad for the history guy Redmayne was talking about who worked on the Jackal movie and then went right to work on Gladiator.  Paul Mescal knew him, but Washington was like, "Who??"  Sure, he was a gladiator wrangler and Washington wasn't involved with that, but still.

Also, sometimes Washington's top front teeth are all that shows when he smiles and he looks like a rabbit.

Eddie Redmayne is a BEC for me, so I'm never thrilled to see him.

I loved how Saoirse Ronan shut the men down when they were joking about using a phone as a weapon—"Who would think of that?"—by saying that women think about that all the time, and the snickering stopped immediately.

The musical guests are almost always definitely not to my taste, but I found Blossoms very entertaining, and the story about Garry was great.

Agreed, I've never been more interested in a musical guest's conversation!

He bugs me to no end.

Loved that too!

I may be mixing up episodes as we watched 3 in a row, but was she the same one who admonished one of the men saying it was her turn to talk now?

That was her!  And it was Paul Mescal she was admonishing!
