Members alphanguy74 Posted January 28, 2014 Members Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've just discovered him from seeing videos on youtube. What a HILARIOUS and entertaining show! Some of these interviews just have me in stitches, and the celebs seem so relaxed and ready to have fun! Love this one with Enrique Iglesias. And WOW, how beautiful is he?

Members YRBB Posted January 28, 2014 Members Share Posted January 28, 2014 Chatty Man & The Graham Norton Show are absolutely, fantastically hilarious. I've been thinking of starting a thread for Chatty Man but I didn't know if anyone here would be interested. Enrique is such a flirt, even with men.

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2014 America's late night shows could sure take a few lessons from these shows. Jimmy Fallon is the only one I find entertining, but Graham Norton and Alan Carr just make most all our talk shows look boring and stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 28, 2014 Members Share Posted January 28, 2014 The key is that Andy Carr and Graham Norton really put their guests at ease and let them know that this is going to be an irreverent appearance and not to take it all too seriously. The guests can relax because they know they are playing straight man to the comedian. I know that Norton often takes his guests out the day before the show (and after the taping, too, for drinks), so they build up a camaraderie, and Alan Carr probably does the same. When Norton interviewed Liza Minnelli some years ago, he pretty much spent the whole week with her and her then-fiancé David Guest. She really got along well with him, to the point where she invited him to her wedding with Guest while on air. He ended up attending, I think. The way they were talking with each other, it's like they barely noticed the studio audience, they were just chatting about this and that. I love both talk shows. I find some of the US talk shows harder to watch. They seem a little stiffer, and there are too many commercial breaks so it breaks up the interview momentum.

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes, the commercial breaks are a detriment to all of television. Commercials have literally doubled since the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just saw this Grace Jones interview, LOVE IT!
