Graham Norton Funniest Moments (32) *NEW

that he was BBC TV and I was looking down. the barrel of the lens the nation helps me and I assured my places to a musician. I have many surfers. The trick is they're supposed to catch on because Matt, when you were doing stand-up, I mean the interaction with the audience is so intense it's terrifying. I mean, there's nothing, there's nothing you can do and in your book, you, uh, you talk about a concert, I think it was the Irishman, the guy in the audience, oh yeah, well I was Colin Farrell, I had him . I must apologize if I'm going to tell you about this because I can't really do an Irish accent very well I can do three Irish accents badly so I don't know which one I'm going to do yet my skill is getting worse too I can do it they're really like you know, the really old ones- something old fashioned oh hey leprechaun can I do that can I do uh can I do I don't know what I'm talking about but it's Irish yeah, I write about this in the book so I started doing stand-up comedy When I was 18 and one of my was pretty early on, I was probably only 19 and I was doing a concert and there was this guy in the audience who was just interrupting everyone and all the comics were going down badly and I realized. and it was I had this routine that I had worked on but I realized there was no way I could do this routine so I got up on stage and instead I did my entire routine that night over him and Basically, really I humiliated him from the stage and to the audience.

I don't think he was particularly funny, but the audience was very relieved because this guy had been terrorizing every act on the bill, including the compare um and if the comparison can't. control the room, you're really in trouble and um, so I was there and I was like the hero of the moment, but then when I came off the stage, he came up to me, he was about six foot five and he was about that big and he did that. That was funny, that was really fun, but now I'm going to take you outside. I'm going to hit your balls out here and I said, "Oh my God, it was just a joke," he said, no, I'm just playing with you, man, not really, no. humiliate me here in front of my wife I'm going to take you outside to get a taste of your own medicine I said oh my god no I was really just joking I was just joking with you and he just went back and forth and I had to be escorted out of the place she it's here today thank you yeah scary okay it's time for music uh this man has two top notch albums two I'll start it again yeah yeah bad read. amazing, I know how long you've been doing this 21 years, you don't care anymore do you, the money just comes, yeah exactly, I don't think you should quit.

I think people should know that I can't. read yes, quite brave, I think I will continue, yes, despite not being able to read, continue, is it because you can't see and you won't wear glasses because you are vain, no, no, I can see it? music this band has two top notch albums no, I see, I ruined it again. The 10 best albums is difficult to say, but the rowing thing is true, yes, it is true, yes, that's why, that's why I went to university, it was to do that and nothing more all this you know the dee da things you know who were uh wow they just weren't a worthy olympic couple that was the year the americans boycotted the moscow olympic games so they had nowhere to go but the henny regatta and we raced them and they beat themselves look at the size, yes the legs are very impressive and I noticed you chose a slightly shorter short, you obviously thought these were working for me, that was the most important thing on my mind look Robert do you feel like you missed out on not doing everything? about this I feel like I was there because your stories don't match up at all I have some photos I think we have a photo of you from the year you were nominated for the king's speech on the red carpet look at Helena's excited face and we thought, oh, maybe we have chosen an unfortunate photo, no, your face is like that in all of them, all critical, that was long before he became Donald Trump, wasn't it?

We know what you mean, you love this job, right? I love it and you mean you actually actively requested to be called back halfway? I went with many people to take advantage of the time. It's not true, they all came out from underneath.
