Romesh Ranganathan’s An Englishman In a Sri Lankan Disguise | The Jonathan Ross Show
Рет қаралды 1,188,011
Күн бұрынComedian Romesh Ranganathan joined Jonathan on the sofa to talk about his show Asian Provocateur, a series that forced him to delve deep into the heritage he "didn't know anything about". Whilst filming Romesh met his auntie for the first time and was very astounded by how openly judgemental everyone in her village could be about each other’s appearance.

Romesh's brutal honesty about his family and pretty much everything is so refreshing and it's part of what makes him so bloody funny.

I'm on board. As an American who prefers darker, self-deprecating humor, it feels like I might have been the victim of a trans-continental swap at birth. (And there's also the fact that on British chat shows you get to sit on a sofa with a bunch of people and relax a bit. Less of a job interview and more of an actual chat.)

Jonathan ross doesn't know how to do the whole more-than-one-celeb-on-sofa format. Jonathan doesn't help in creating a natural interaction between the celebs, and rather just takes turns talking to each of them whilst the others just sit silently looking ignored. I never get that vibe on the graham norton show ever.

Graham Norton is the only chat show host who engages with everyone on his sofa in same way and make them connect even if they are from different fields and don't know each other...some people are just naturally good at it and he is one of those
@abdulhannan9771 3 жыл бұрын

Sharan Kalamohan my point is that he gives the idea that majority of our people in srilanka speak Tamil, in fact over 75 percent speak sinhala. He says when he landed in Colombo airport immigration officials speak in Tamil this utter bulls...t . They speak either English or sinhala. I don’t have problem with him speaking Tamil but do not like when people try to paint a wrong picture.
