Graham Norton: All Episodes Talk

Poor Don Gilet got the shortest end of the short stick this week

And despite that, he provided the highlight of the evening, when everyone was studying the photo of the alligator and the silent person languishing at the end of the couch piped up with, "What's that round thing?"  Which elicited Graham Norton's prissy face™, which is always perfectly timed and never fails to please.

Or maybe it was super funny to me because I was wondering the exact same thing but grokked about a mlilisecond before he asked.

Oh, and Miss Grande?  Where do you get off using your phone to take a video during the movie?  You're rich--in the future please rent an entire screen for yourself if you simply can't follow the rules expected of everyone else.  It's not cute, regardless of how old your grandmother is.

Just when I was thinking she was kind of cute with the pineapple.

And one more comment (I didn't think this was a stellar show, but it's proving to be memorable):  I loved the white cuffs on Reese Witherspoon's black dress.  That always looks so cute.

And her story about jury duty--I have the impression that the part about the jury electing her foreman because she'd been to law school (ahem) was planned, but I think diverting into the merits of the dog bite case was spontaneous, and it's what I love about this show.  It was like we were in her living room.

What most struck me about that story was that the trial lasted for 2 weeks - for a dog bite! 

I've served as a juror multiple times and a murder trial I was on lasted for 6 days which included 2 days of deliberations. 

Good old Beverly Hills. 🙄

She's not wrong about how little people know about the law. Based on my experiences in the jury room, if I was to ever commit a crime and be put on trial for it - BENCH TRIAL - 100%. 

I would have been so pissed if I had to sit there for 2 weeks listening to 2 rich people go back and forth over a freaking dog bite.

I seem to recall that Robert DeNiro is always a zero on this show.

And the story about him at Elton John's house thirty years ago.  So Elton has a new boyfriend of three weeks who likes movies so he calls around to see what movie stars are in town, and one of them is De Niro, who is a stranger, but he goes to Elton's house anyway for a very small dinner party.  The whole thing seemed so sad.  Or maybe ridiculous.  Or maybe both.

I'll add that I was touched by Graham's obvious sincere affection for Cyndi Lauper.  But her appearance didn't do much for me, because she was just advocating.  I'm here for hilarious or at least embarrassing anecdotes.

Similarly, Brandi Carlile spent a bunch of time talking about how much she's adored Elton John for her whole life.  I kind of like it when someone on the couch turns out to be a fanboy of another guest, but these two came on the show as a duo.

Maybe this is why the couch lacked zing.  Even Allan Carr couldn't rescue it.
