12 minutes of Sir Ian is not enough!

@JenWren4 28 күн бұрын

My friends and family don't understand why I am obsessed with the Graham Norton show, being as I'm an American. The first clip of Ian coming on to the stage and had just gotten in from Scotland and he's apologizing for the way he's dressed and I think Graham says to him "darling you look beautiful come in and sit down." That is the epitome of why I love this show! Because it's like just a bunch of friends get together and come on into the lounge and sit down and tell amazing stories. It's so much fun and I love the fact that people drink and they cuss and they're off color and REAL. It's so much different than American late night shows. There's five or six and they'll have the same actor on each show and ask the exact same questions and the actor will tell the exact same stories or answer the exact same questions and it's so boring. But Graham makes every show a party with your besties! He is the greatest talk show host of all time! An absolute national treasure!

Your post is adorable..and as i'm equally obsessed with this show for years-- thank you for those lovely words describing it! We also have(thank god) nothing that comes even close to it in germany. Greetings across the pond ❤😊

I had the extraordinary joy of being on the stage with Sir Ian when he presented Acting Shakespeare in LA in the 90's. He called up a bunch of audience members to play dead bodies while he did a scene from Henry V. He was so gracious and thanked each of us personally after he had finished.

His pop up to the couch is just precious. He probably called Graham and said, "I heard my friends are in tonight, I'll pop round and have a visit if you don't mind, dear. " Couldn't possibly tell him 'no'. Dear man. 😊❤

The thing Sir Ian is talking about is Greenstone or Lesser Jade, in Maori it's called Pounamu. When Pounamu is carved into shape, it's then called a Taonga which neans Treasure. A Taonga is meant to only be worn by the person it was made for or their direct family.

@shauntempley9757 Күн бұрын

It is not lesser jade. It is the other one. The mineral you call jade is totally different. As for the taonga, it can be gifted outside the family, but only if the family feels it is earned.

I love the English sense of humor. I sometimes think if it mustn't be awfully difficult to make a mark as a stand up comedian or any type of professional comedian because it seems everyone across the pond is naturally funny. I wish I got the Graham Norton show regularly.
