Alan Cumming is one of my most favorite actors ever. Love his humor, his accent, his joy, his honesty, that twinkle he seems to always have in his eyes! 🥰
I'm an American who absolutely loves Graham Norton so I'm completely aware of who Miriam is. She's is a treasure and everything that comes out of her mouth is hilarious and dirty at the same time. You seriously could not predict what she will say. Also, Alan is such an accomplished actor, so well rounded and jovial. Gotta love him...
I watched Miriam play Miss Fisher's aunt. That is one of my top favorite TV shows. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries I believe ...Australia show....costumes cost over 1 million per episode.
it's a tossup which is funnier between her stories and the ways she puts people on the spot not actually offending, but kinda awkwardly wondering what will who say to that? fans of hers who've worked with her before, like Alan, Graham and Daniel Radcliffe, handle it smoothly, but at her best that next instant of both guests and audience wondering "OoooKaaay, (pause) How is who going to respond to that?" is as funny as the stories, at least for me one of the funniest bits of casting I'm aware of, just the fact that its Miriam playing the role, is the aptly named Aunt Prudence in the Australian TVshow Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries some of which are still on youtube
Miriam is a treasure, one of the funniest women and best story tellers, I wish I could meet her one day and there's not a lot of celebs I give a flip about meeting but I'd love to see her in person.
My memory of Miriam was on the Richard and Judy show. They were talking about the menopause and Richard said "You will understand these problems, won't you Miriam. She replied "not really dear, I'm still moist down there" Poor Richard nearly choked.
When gay men first got into comedy like Paul Lynde or Charles Nelson Reilly, like Alan they didn't become popular by flaunting their homosexuality but by being extremely clever and witty. We've come a long way since Oscar Wilde and thank goodness for them. If I see Alan, I watch it.
So appreciate all the work Alan Cumming has done over the years to raise awareness of the harms of circumcision. The foreskin is a healthy, sensitive, functional body part -- and thus it is not REALLY open to "parental preference" as a body part for removal, just as no parts of the female genital anatomy should be removed at the request of a parent. It's so easy to see the questionable practices of other cultures, and so easy to accept the common practices of our own as "no big deal." But genital surgery of healthy infants... that's one that's WORTH a second look.
Alan Cumming and Miriam Margolyes: the two funnest people on the planet. It was absolute genius to pair them up. Just finished the first season (series) and have thoroughly enjoyed the tour but, even more, I felt like I was in the company of two amazing human beings.
It’s so hard to think of Alan Cumming in anything but Cabaret. Still remember the first time I saw anything with him - he did a song from Cabaret on Rosie O’Donnell’s show. And I fell in love ❤️
Back in the early/mid nineties (I think?) Alan played an air steward in a sitcom called ‘The High Life’ here in Scotland, and his character in that is still all I can think about when I see him!
Alan Cumming has been a vocal intactivist for years and I'm glad to see him (circuitously) condemning circumcision on TV! Does anyone know the scoop on the book he wrote about the subject? It seems like there as a lot of hype building up to its release, but then it vanished? Or maybe I'm wrong. I always wondered if he somehow got bullied into not releasing it, or the publisher decided it was too risky a subject?
Seth, this was nearly a flawless interview. But I’m sorry to say you messed up. You called Miriam Margolyes an “actor”. I saw a live interview of the divine M.M. on “The Last Leg”, an achingly funny chat show on Channel 4 in the UK. She corrected the host, Adam Hills. She prefers to be called an actress.
Seriously? If you can’t understand Alan in this interview then I respectfully suggest you listen to more people with accents that differ from your own, cause it’s a big wide world out there and Alan’s accent here isn’t even very broad (note how everyone else seems to understand him).
Random morning , me minding my business watching a talk show. Miriam🇬🇧: When I saw him, I creamed in my pants ............ Guests on a TV show : 😮 what just happened 😅😅😅😆😆😆 Me: what did I just miss? 🤭🤭
It's a great joy that 81-year-old Jewish legend Miriam Margolyes has come around about infant male genital cutting. (Maybe it was Alan Cumming's forthright advocacy that did it.) BUt shovelling smegma? One man doesn't produce enough in a week to fill a coke spoon!
Miriam bluntly shoved her Jewish ancestry aside, and succinctly critiqued circumcision, both routine and ritual. She surely knew that Alan has gone public with his disagreement with American routine circumcision.
Hmm, did Miriam finally realize that a woman also has a prepuce AND that a woman also produces smegma? Where has she been shoveling and storing her smegma?
Alan Cumming is one of my most favorite actors ever. Love his humor, his accent, his joy, his honesty, that twinkle he seems to always have in his eyes! 🥰
Love this comment
So true ✨✨
Me too
amen to all of that
being a regular watcher of The Graham Norton Show, i can attest to Alan's statement that _that is_ the cleanest story from Miriam 😆
As a Brit and Norton fan, you beat me to it! US public networks are very much not Miriam’s natural domain 😂
I'm an American who absolutely loves Graham Norton so I'm completely aware of who Miriam is. She's is a treasure and everything that comes out of her mouth is hilarious and dirty at the same time.

Love Gragam's show!
I watched Miriam play Miss Fisher's aunt. That is one of my top favorite TV shows.
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries I believe ...Australia show....costumes cost over 1 million per episode.
Remember the Laurence Olivier story and Matthew Perry's face? 😁
Love how Alan Cumming called Miriam Morgolyes a legend as he isn't equally legendary. They are both absolute icons.
Miriam Morgolyes is a legeng to the British. We love her :)
but she didn’t know who Uhura was, lol
They're both absolutely delightful.
Miriam is such an icon I adore her, and I could listen to Alan Cummings tell stories all day.
Alan is an excellent story teller. And an excellent actor. One of Scotland's finest.
"In Scotland, we don't like having the wool pulled over our eyes, and we also admire people who can." 😂
This is how I know I have Scottish ancestry because I relate 🤣
Great impression of miriam
yes, yes, and yes
Alan is the BEST in all he does! Genuine talent and that mad twinkle in his eyes. When it comes to Alan…more, more, MORE! ❤️🇨🇦
Miriam Margolyes is incredible and her stories on Graham Norton are HILARIOUS
you should get her book as audiobook! More stories!
You have to support the troops. 😂
I know.they make ya * want to kream in ur nickers*.... Luv Mariam 🥰
@@Maya_Pinion 😂 Greg Davies: “Jesus, Miriam.” Ahahahaha
it's a tossup which is funnier between
her stories and the ways she puts people on the spot
not actually offending, but kinda awkwardly wondering
what will who say to that?
fans of hers who've worked with her before,
like Alan, Graham and Daniel Radcliffe,
handle it smoothly, but at her best that next instant
of both guests and audience wondering
"OoooKaaay, (pause) How is who going to respond to that?"
is as funny as the stories, at least for me
one of the funniest bits of casting I'm aware of,
just the fact that its Miriam playing the role, is
the aptly named Aunt Prudence in the Australian TVshow
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
some of which are still on youtube
Both Alan and Miriam are icons.hugely enjoy their banters.Many thanks.
I love full circle stories. Humble and immensely talented man.
I screamed out loud when this trailor for the show dropped. Alan Cummings role is sublime. I can't recommend the show enough.
I love his character Eli Gold he's just amazing I don't anybody else could play him. He's such a great actor.
ironically “Rahm Emmanuel’s” brother Ari is Rachel Maddow’s agent (“Entourage” is supposedly based on him)
Brilliant wonderful talented Alan! I love to watch Miriam and Alan on Graham Norton. Uncensored and fabulous!
Miriam is a treasure, one of the funniest women and best story tellers, I wish I could meet her one day and there's not a lot of celebs I give a flip about meeting but I'd love to see her in person.
That story makes me love Miriam 100x more
I saw BURN in Glasgow in August. Utterly incredible play and Cumming’s performance is a tour de force. Go see it if you get the chance. Phenomenal!
Had the great pleasure of seeing him as Emcee in Cabaret at the Donmar Warehouse many years ago. He was absolutely brilliant.
I love Alan Cumming! He’s SO funny!
Romy and Michelle’s Class Reunion ❤
@@dandylandpuffplaysminecraf8744 perfect.
Sexy too.
Read his book. Very interesting autobiography. Also, his "Who Do You Think You Are" episode.
Always love when Alan does the rounds.
Always love seeing Alan Cumming, and Miriam Margolyes.
My memory of Miriam was on the Richard and Judy show. They were talking about the menopause and Richard said "You will understand these problems, won't you Miriam. She replied "not really dear, I'm still moist down there" Poor Richard nearly choked.
His imitation of Miriam is so good.
There's a reason this man (in his Cabaret MC incarnation) is my screensaver.
He's the epitome of Puckish sexiness.

I love his sweater! I know he is a knitter...I bet he made it! Love Alan, so much talent rolled into one human being!

Lovely man, just fabulous! Adore Alan Cumming.
'My old school' is brilliant! Very unique film!

Simply love Alan Cumming ever since I saw him in Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver, years ago. Love you too Seth.
Could listen to him speak for hours!
"Shoveling Smegma (That's What They Do)" by Sweetlooking Lady
I love his spot on imitation of MM lol
I adore him every since Xmen. I hated when they canceled his TV show. Glad to see him again.

There's an essay, and he has it posted on his website.
I see Miriam Margolyes and I click.
I love him so much 😊
Alan is amazing. Love Scottish accents.
I looooove these two together!!!!! I love the series they're doing!!!❤️
Such a lovely accent. Love him!
Love Alan and Miriam too ❤
He looks happy and young! Good for him.
I dated Alan breifly in the 2000's. Super nice guy, was a fun little whirlwind!
A great actor and nice man
Did Seth just get _very_ nervous about how far Alan would take his M.M. story? 😁😄
Love love love Alan Cumming. Miriam, too. :)
He's slowly turning into my aunt who's into pottery.
I love them both. Miriam says some things I am not daring enough to say!
And I loved his TV show, Instinct".
love alan and this farquad moment he is in!
I also agree with Alan on routine infant circumcision. It's a disgusting practice and the sooner it stops the better.
Alan & Miriam rock ❤❤❤❤❤
I've loved Alan Cummings since I watched him in the L word. Magnificent actor & cheeky chappie 😍
hahahaha thank you uk and late night pbs red dwarf for teaching child-me about "smeg" 💖
As a Brit I was genuinely surprised the audience seemed to know what he meant? (I too associate it with Red Dwarf, lol.)
Omg he looks like a fashiony Snape I LOVE ittt
Eli Gold is back, baby
Love him

🤓Correction Seth, darling. 🙃She’s our QUEEN! captured my ♥️ in 83’…. So love her & Alan together! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️🔥✨Thank U. 🥰
He will always be Floop to me 😍
Amongst everything else, Mr Alan Cumming dresses profoundly great!! 👕
Shovelling Smegma is a great name for a metal/punk band.
it might draw an interesting audience at that
Miriam is in my top 3 of people I'd like to meet
Been a fan of his since Circle of Friends
I f*#king LOVE Miriam!😍
o my goddess now I have to look this one up too. Thanks Seth
Smegma is hilarious. It's very funny.
I want Alan’s jumper!
I love Miriam
Correction: you said that’s Alan Cumming but he’s clearly a Loki variant from the Sweaterverse. Do better, Seth.
É uma pena o UA-cam só ter disponibilizado legenda em inglês.
Miriam rules👍🤣
I have no idea what he's talking about half the time but I feel like I could listen to him talk for hours
Seriously? If you can’t understand Alan in this interview then I respectfully suggest you listen to more people with accents that differ from your own, cause it’s a big wide world out there and Alan’s accent here isn’t even very broad (note how everyone else seems to understand him).
Scottish people so love being told that by people who are often just too lazy to listen....🙂
If you want some awesome Miriam Moygles, Graham Norton has some great clips! She’s pretty much a foul mouthed gran. It’s hilarious!
Ah dam awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻love ❤
The first Loki on screen.
He’d have been a great Loki
He’s so weird and goofy in real life, I mostly know him from the Good Wife, incredible acting
Why is he wearing dark nail polish? He doesn’t usually, does he?
Random morning , me minding my business watching a talk show.
Miriam🇬🇧: When I saw him, I creamed in my pants ............
Guests on a TV show : 😮 what just happened 😅😅😅😆😆😆
Me: what did I just miss? 🤭🤭
Miss seeing that man on TV
Loved him in Baron of Munchausen.
Nevermind thats Eric Idle. I was gonna say he looks young still. 🤣
I’m Jewish, and I hate that I was circumcised.
Have you ever talked to a woman whose been in long term relationships with both cut and uncut men? I am married to one.
@@Lxx-tc4xc Yup. Most women who have been with both prefer intact. There’s a reason women flock towards European and Hispanic men.
I feel your pain, brother.
Wait, not having seen The Good Fight, I thought it was just like any old law drama, but that clip was like surrealist comedy?!?
Surrealist for sure. Not like any old law drama.
He sure keeps busy!
I will always luv u Alan. And Miriam is the naughtiest person ever. I've watched a lot Graham Norton. ❤️🤣
Damn, Floop has *evolved*
Alan looks like a mix between Eric Idle, Weird Al Yankovic and John Cussack
It's a great joy that 81-year-old Jewish legend Miriam Margolyes has come around about infant male genital cutting. (Maybe it was Alan Cumming's forthright advocacy that did it.)
BUt shovelling smegma? One man doesn't produce enough in a week to fill a coke spoon!
Individual bees don't produce much honey!
maybe it's a woman doing the collecting
They were on Graham Norton together
Stop body shaming natural men.
I'm just sitting here going, HE'S SCOTTISH?!?! WTF
Circumsicion is the same as Female Genital Mutilation, FGM. Let's call it MGM, even if Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer might not appreciate the abbreviation.
considering how much psyche circumcision MGM has done over the decades
I'll say "if the shoe fits wear it"
Yes, I totally agree with Miriam. But I would go further - it should be banned. Male and female, unless there is a serious medical problem.
For the underage yes, if adults want to do such a stupid thing so be it
Brilliant! Lmao hahahaha
Miriam bluntly shoved her Jewish ancestry aside, and succinctly critiqued circumcision, both routine and ritual. She surely knew that Alan has gone public with his disagreement with American routine circumcision.
Such a gorgeous, gorgeous man.
Why does he look like Snape?
Lol he could definitely play him in a reboot!
No bleep? Amazing for an US clip.
FLOOP
Hmm, did Miriam finally realize that a woman also has a prepuce AND that a woman also produces smegma? Where has she been shoveling and storing her smegma?
Is it just me, or does Alan Cumming look exactly like Pee Wee Herman?
I was ready to say "just you" until I saw 4 likes
