S17.E08: Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Chris Pratt, John Bishop, Florence and the Machine

[Athena]

Among the guests on Graham's sofa are Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy and Oscar-nominated Brit Jude Law, starring together in new comedy movie Spy, Hollywood heart-throb Chris Pratt talking about new blockbuster Jurassic World, and top comic John Bishop. Also featuring music from Florence and the Machine.

I haven't watched the full show yet but the parts I did see made me laugh reeeeeeally hard.  I don't know why the discussion of "The Only Way is Essex" made me laugh so hard (I've never seen the show) but I was howling.

Love Chris Pratt.  He is hilarious and seems so down to earth.

I would really love a full chronology of his late teens/early twenties because he did the multi-level marketing, lived in a van in Hawai'i for a year, and that headshot story (OMG, I was VERY concerned for past-Chris for the duration of that story). 

 

The whole couch really seemed to get a long well -- I really enjoyed the vibe.

Florence's bangs have gotten to the length (which I personally know all too well) where the outer edges flip out like Fringe Wings. I just wanted to snip those wee bits off!

 

I thought Jude's animated support of Melissa's fight scene was really adorable. (No kidding, it's a howl of a fight!)

 

I hereby volunteer to take free photos of Chris Pratt if he'd come to my apartment and shower. Selfless, I am.

The bass line of the Florence and the Machine song was killer. 

 

John Bishop got neglected this week, which is a shame because he's one British comic that I really like (and can understand, hee). He had a very cute joke with Florence and Graham.

I would love to have a beer with Chris, Melissa and John. They all seem so much fun.  Jude seemed a little subdued, but I adore him.

 

I was dying at the headshot discussion.  Heh.

I think Chris definitely got the most time but if anyone was neglected, to me it seemed to be Jude.  I think he only got one anecdote (the ice bath on Broadway) and a half-anecdote (Sexiest Vegetarian 199?) and the discussion of Spy, while everyone else got at least two full anecdotes (C: P&R nudity; headshots; multi-level marketing; TOWIE / M: dolphin; headshots / JB: fellowship; multi-level marketing) plus their plug.

 

Wow, writing that out it seems REALLY unbalanced!  But the flow was good and everyone really got into everyone else's stories, so it didn't come out that oddly.  I think the most strained part was Melissa and Jude pitching Spy.  Honestly, I think I could come up with a better summary than that and I haven't seen the film!!

What a fantastic ep. Everyone enjoyed everyone else. I like each one of the people. What a blast.

That may have been the single best talk show hour I've seen in my entire life.
