15 Great Minutes

Miriam Margolyes from Harry Potter and will.i.am on The Graham Norton Show. Miriam says she does not meet many black people about five minutes in. Then seven minutes in doesn't recognize Prince William. It really doesn't get better than this.

Love The Graham Norton Show...great guests, everyone comes out at once and get to interact. Just fantastic.

Is she Aunt Bea?

It's scripted. The photo of the guard with the bearskin cap is the giveaway that it's not ad-libbed; having that photo on hand wasn't spontaneous, and introducing it required the detour.

I love this! I haven't yet seen "Harry Potter", but what a delightful woman! And Will.i.am seems like a really cool guy - not only by creating STEM, but also acknowledging that this program is aimed towards peaking girls interest in science, etc. A very entertaining 14 minutes.

"We need to kick it more." "Right-O!" Perfect.

MadLyb said...

@Barry - The photo was available for queue since Norton had probably gone over the questions with his guests, and one of them was about the hat. This was spontaneous.

Is this show available on BBC America? I like it. Now I'm off to find the Russell Brand one...

That was precious. She's a darling. Will and Graham were very cute with her. I love Graham Norton....when stuff like this happens he just goes with it.

I've never seen wil.i.am interviewed. I love him! He seems really down to earth and good on him for rolling with "I don't know any black people outside showbusiness" lady.

That was one of the best Graham Norton shows ever. And will has a cute giggle!

I love Graham Norton! Hey at least she was honest. I have never seen Will.I.am speak but he seems like an amazingly generous person. He also sorta pings my gaydar. No matter, he puts his money where his mouth is and has my deep respect.

For those who aren't aware of Miriam Margolyes (she's a fantastic actress and a real favourite of mine) - she played Professor Sprout in Harry Potter and was Lord Blackadder's aunt in Blackadder II. She's been in a relationship with an Australian woman for over 40 years, so obviously a keeper. It's worth looking up the Blackadder episode just for her performance alone.

Graham's show was on BBC America on Saturday nights last year, he's always a riot.

I think I love will.i.am a little.

The show is in 3 parts. If you watch the last part, will.i.am tells a story about Michael Jackson, riding horses and picking apples in Ireland...very funny.

If you loved that you must YouTube the episode of Graham Norton with Miriam Margolyes and Staney Tucci. Absolutely hysterical.

Unknown said...

I love that STEM program that will.i. am is involved in, Aw, he's a good guy!

I loved every second of that. We used to get BBCA but now don't and I miss Graham Norton's show so much.

XCentric said...

Love me some Graham Norton!!

GrahamNortonFan on youtube posts the show regularly.

OH shirt. This is so freakin funny. LMAO

I love the GN show and this was a great episode. I'm in a great mood now!

Barry Kelly said...

@MadLyb: I don't believe it for a second. BBC scripts their comedy shows to within an inch.

shakey said...

Wait a second - isn't he from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia?

alliwholovessomuch said...

Omg too funny that lady is a classic she always cracks me up and gotta say new found respect for will.i.am.
