I grew up on British television in Canada and I'm pretty good with Brits (Irish/Welsh/Scots/various English) talking at normal speed, but yeah, she's trying to slow it down. I find a lot of more experienced actors and actresses have an accent for home and an accent for America. With Welsh people, it seems more prominent. They sound almost London RP in America, but back home, they're back to Welsh. Anthony Hopkins is a good example at times. You basically have to, or a lot of Americans won't understand a word you're saying. Or their accent just becomes more mid Atlantic over time because they do so much work for American audiences. John Barrowman is Scottish, but a lot of the time he speaks with a standard American accent because he does a lot of work in the US.
The detention scene in the first episode is literally the best scene in TV history, pissing in classroom, rifling thru a dead nun’s purse, eating a dead nun’s sandwich, sneaking out the window, playing with the dead nun’s body😂 omfg genius!
I don’t think I’ve laughed harder than when I watched that scene. Or when Mary realizes she might have forgotten her punt purse in episode 5… I wept from the laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People from the UK all do that. I’m Canadian and grew up with UK television. At first, I was taken aback by some actors in American interviews because usually they’d sound very RP London (the British accent Americans are most familiar with). Or they’d just adopt that accent, like that Welsh guy whose name escapes me who was in Kingsman. I admire Anthony Hopkins for maintaining his identity, though his accent is softer Welsh. Bonnie Tyler, who did Total Eclipse of the Heart, is Welsh and was told she’d have to learn to speak more like a Londoner, but she refused. Good for her. I don’t have a problem with these accents. But I do find it unintentionally hilarious when I see anyone on American TV with even a slight non-American accent and there are subtitles. They’re speaking English. In fact, they’re either from the island or very close to the island where that language came from.
Derry Girls is one of my favorites. When I saw that Sthephen was interviewing Jackson, I clicked right away. Everyone in Derry Girls was brilliant and I can't wait to see Jackson in Decameron. (Oh, and her Mom was terrific, too! A very talented dancer, it appears. Go, Mom!! 🎉. Hee hee...)
As a Derry girl who grew up through the troubles, I love Derry Girls. It's so funny and so poignant and totally portrays those times. It shows the strength of character, resilience and the unique sense of humour that have always been part of the Derry people through all the madness and sadness that we've been through. Thank God, from a place where nobody wanted to visit, Derry has transformed into a wee tourist hub for people from all over the world. Derry Girls has definitely contributed to that! It's a lovely city, steeped in history but the thing visitors always talk about (apart from the weather 🌨️🙄 is the warmth of the people. Thank you to Lisa Magee and all involved. 🙏☘️
I agree. I found this series to be strangely fantastic. It's such a simple fun watch and really funny. Though some sad parts regarding some characters fates. Really sad it's over, I hope they can make a spin off or as the director mentioned, perhaps an anthology series and maybe some of the survivors can make an appearance or cameo in that too. 👍👍
I live in Belize and I love her so much. Derry Girls is the best thing ever, I have watched it at least 3 times already and ever time I watch it it gets even more funnier.
Saoirse Ronan took care of the name pronunciation issue the night Stephen had her on The Late Show! I remember Saoirse going through the "You know, Saoirse like Inertia" multiple times that evening. It was a hoot! Ronan was also wonderful, talented and Fun!! Maybe it is a prerequisite to prove before you can give your child that name?!! (They are both such amazing young women, each in her own way!!)
@elizabethhiebert1859 Except Ronan dumbed down her name for American audiences- it’s ‘Seer-sha’ as Stephen pronounced it here not ‘Sur-sha like inertia’. Irish people have been saying this since Ronan came on the scene. At the same time it’s her name so she can do what she wants lol.
@@hoover728 OOHHHHhhh!! WOW!! Thank you for telling me this! I had no idea!! Although I am American, I love the musicality and nuance of different words in different languages. I get annoyed that a certain percentage of Americans (unfortunately larger than I would like) seem to not even try to properly pronounce people's names correctly. Too often they seem to almost immediately gag on the different name/ word and then butcher it. While I certainly have butchered names / words from other languages, I keep trying to get it. I admire the folks that I am speaking with in their continued willingness to say their name/ the word slowly for me so I can try to get the sounds and mouth movements right. There is so much beauty in other languages. Woops!! Sorry I'm rambling. Again, my thanks! Best to all!!
Yes Saoirse!! 🥳🥳🥳 So excited she’s on the show and working in even bigger projects! She’s so wonderfully talented, and such a delight! And my god, she’s just gorgeous!!! ♥️ from 🇨🇦
You won't regret it. Subtitles might be helpful at first, though many people just replay bits over and over to make sure they didn't miss anything besides the dialogue.
She's wonderful, and I always find it so charming when really successful people who I have seen be totally breezy, comfortable, and hilarious in many other social and professional settings still get obviously nervous in another, like this one.
Met someone from Belfast a few years ago, before the pandemic. He says to me that school for him wasn't about education, it was about being inside to avoid the bombs. Then I stumbled onto the Derry Girls and slowly began to understand. I will never fully understand, but Derry Girls was an absolute delight.
she is hilarious in derry girls. if you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!! this show is such a gem and deserved a 4th season.
This is why I watch British television. Everything is dumbed down for Americans. She’s speaking English and people can barely understand her. I found her very easy to understand on the show and I’m neither Irish (though my grandma is) nor American. Thank God.
Decameron is awful,it’s like a lot of actors sitting around London trying to be hilarious,no sense of Italy or Italian humour,better stick to 1970s Italian movie version by Pasolini which captures the earthiness of the original story
How interesting that in Ireland they also say "to have notion(s)" as in "to be in touch with reality", "to not be clueless" or "to be aware of things or oneself"! We have the exact same expression in Portuguese: "ter noção". I didn't know that the word "notion" could have this exact, precise meaning in English.
I'm originally from stroke city. Our family left the city during the troubles in the early 80s. About a decade later I took a girlfriend back to the city and started talking to some locals in a pub. At the end of the conversation, my girlfriend looked at me and said "wow. I didn't understand a single word you just said in the last five minutes." My girlfriend was from Belfast, just 70 miles down the road but the accent is so fast even people from other parts of NI struggle with it. She is working so hard here to slow down her accent for this interview.
I just finished the Decameron. I found this series to be strangely fantastic. It's such a simple fun watch and really funny. Though some sad parts regarding some characters fates. Really sad it's over, I hope they can make a spin off or as the director mentioned, perhaps an anthology series and maybe some of the survivors can make an appearance or cameo in that too.👍👍 Also, I guess I might have to check out her Derry Girls show now too.
Brilliant personality, I wish her all the success. At the risk of sounding negative...it always feels as though American hosts are inept at going toe to toe with non-American guests. But British hosts can do it all.
She's annunciating so carefully. Bless her!
Haha first thing I noticed! So good
Enunciating.
Making sure we Americans can understand lol
I’m Irish & I can barely understand her 🤷
annunciate is sometimes confused with enunciate
If she’s anything like me and my family, she’s trying to talk at 30% of her usual speed just to help Stephen out.

So proud to see our Derry Girls are really doing well ❤
I LOVE Derry Girls!!! 🤩💗🤩
She’s always so entertaining. A wonderful story teller. She was so so so brilliant in Derry Girls. Looking forward to seeing Decameron.
Irish people are notorious for being good storytellers

Have watched the detention scene many times……..perfect storm of hilarity
Well, girls. Killing nuns now, is it?
The followup scene just adds icing to the cake.
"So we're killing nuns now are we? Wait till your mother hears of this."
Struck down in her prime!
She's dialing back her accent so much - but she's hilarious, her comedic timing is everything 😂 her storytelling skills are ON POINT

She was absolutely incredible in this role. Her acting range is phenomenal
Her mom howling with laughter at the end, as only a mortified mother/daughter can 🤣
She is so charming. I was watching "Derry Girls", last week wondering if she was in anything else. Now I have a new show to watch .
“And he flashed me… his badge👀”
because in america you never know with these cops.
@@BrickTamlandOfficial true!
I'm dying 😂
That was a funny story. 😂
@@BrickTamlandOfficial SAME everywhere.
Love you Soairse and Ma dancing and laughing from beginning to end 😂❤️🩹💐

She is so funny!! I’m so glad she’s getting more attention here in the states! Derry Girls is a must watch.
she's so lovable and charismatic that I'm determined to watch the series now! She seems a lovely person.❤️
The series is great! Many people I know turn on the subtitles.
@@sheilamoon1412 I was about to suggest the same thing.
4:03 Hilarious! Poor partner.
She has brilliant comedic timing.
I absolutely love this actor! She is so full of vitality and joy! Derry Girls was amazing. I hope she goes far!
Saoirse I could listen to your stories all day girl 😂❤
You were absolutely brilliant in the Decameron!!!
Love from Australia 🇦🇺

Really sad it's over, I hope they can make a spin off or as the director mentioned, perhaps an anthology series and maybe some of the survivors can make an appearance or cameo in that too. 👍👍
She is delightful. In every way. In every single way. I could listen to her talk about literally anything.
Love watching Derry Girls with my daughter 💖 Very happy for its success 🥰
I live in Belize and I love her so much. Derry Girls is the best thing ever, I have watched it at least 3 times already and ever time I watch it it gets even more funnier.
She must be so relieved she doesn’t have to talk about her first name for half the interview
Gladshe had the freedom not to

I just had a complete fangirl moment when I realized Saoirse would be on the show. Derry Girls is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen
Thank you for this interview. I adore Saoirse.
Yes Saoirse!! 🥳🥳🥳 So excited she’s on the show and working in even bigger projects! She’s so wonderfully talented, and such a delight! And my god, she’s just gorgeous!!! ♥️ from 🇨🇦
Her mom at the end 💚
What a fun gal!!! And to think I've never seen Derry Girls. Looks I got some binge watching to do this weekend. 😁😁😁
You won't regret it. Subtitles might be helpful at first, though many people just replay bits over and over to make sure they didn't miss anything besides the dialogue.
What a charming person. She is a good storyteller too.
Jackson never disappoints
She's 100% conscious about her accent and slowing it down here
She's a gem! I can't wait to see what she does next!
She's wonderful, and I always find it so charming when really successful people who I have seen be totally breezy, comfortable, and hilarious in many other social and professional settings still get obviously nervous in another, like this one.
She's the type of girl everyone would want as their BFF. Adorable, great sense of humor, and the BEST laugh!!
She has the best facial expressions in everything
What a delightful and charismatic guest!
Oh my goodness, her mama is so cute dancing in the audience like that! 🥰😂
Charming, delightful, sunshine. Best wishes, young lady.🌞🤸🏾♂️🫶🏻🖖🏼
She's a bloody superstar. So funny, so genuine and absolutely lovely. (Although I am very biased as Erin was the Derry Girl I most related to !)
I love her and the show. I also love the city of Derry. A segment of their museum is dedicated to the show Derry Girls
Met someone from Belfast a few years ago, before the pandemic. He says to me that school for him wasn't about education, it was about being inside to avoid the bombs.
Then I stumbled onto the Derry Girls and slowly began to understand. I will never fully understand, but Derry Girls was an absolute delight.
She is such a great communicator!
My mum saw her in M&S in Liverpool! Lovely person
Bahahahaha! I cackled so hard all on my lonesome when she said her grandpa said her show nothing like game of thrones! 🤣
Stephen was blushing the whole time..I think he fancied the little lady.... in a sweet way....
she is hilarious in derry girls. if you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!! this show is such a gem and deserved a 4th season.
This is why I watch British television. Everything is dumbed down for Americans. She’s speaking English and people can barely understand her. I found her very easy to understand on the show and I’m neither Irish (though my grandma is) nor American. Thank God.
omg love her! so hilarious as erin on derry girls, can't wait to check out her new show!
As a Derry Girls fan I'm so happy for her new series. As an Italian, I am terrified of what Netflix did with The Decameron.
hahahaha so true
Same 🤣
Not Italian but Belgian, and same. We had to read the translated ‘Decamerone’ in school.
Same here 😂
Decameron is awful,it’s like a lot of actors sitting around London trying to be hilarious,no sense of Italy or Italian humour,better stick to 1970s Italian movie version by Pasolini which captures the earthiness of the original story
She is so beautiful and delightful 🥰👏🏼I could hear her talk forever
What a great storyteller !!
How refreshingly delightful…very different. 😊
Wonderful, Wonderful. Saoirse is a interviewers delight. ❤
Colbert finally landed a guest with personality.
Could not LOVE Saoirse-Monica Jackson more!
She killed it best performance in the show😍😍😍😍
Awww such a joy to see her shine! Finally now I know how to pronounce that name.
She always makes me chuckle
Jackson never disappoints us
Lmao… she’s hilarious.
she’s a riot
Omg I love seeing my Derry Girls’ careers thrive! Yay Saoirse! 💚
About to watch Derry girl which I’ve never seen but I now love her and her storytelling 😊
Well it seems Stephen invited her "specifically" to be a guest on his show. Hopefully no nuns died for her to make it to the show on time.
This outfit is AMAZING! ❤
How interesting that in Ireland they also say "to have notion(s)" as in "to be in touch with reality", "to not be clueless" or "to be aware of things or oneself"!

She's so funny! Such a great story teller!
Brilliant, I'd say Stephen hadn't a clue, loved the Grandad story
She's so gorgeous and I love that accent. One of my favourite shows!
she’s an amazing storyteller
She sure is, she Irish!
Love her forever because of Derry Girls 🙌🏻

Awe her Moms delighted! 🥰😊
I clicked this curious expecting Bocaccio talk but this was fantastic
Love her for slowing down her speech so that we Americans can understand. 😂 Love her so! ❤
I love the idea that the size of your family is dependent on their behavior! 😂😂😂
She’s adorbs. LOVED Derry Girls so much and will definitely watch Decameron :)
Such energy!!
She’s so funny. Love her.
Bro, your videos are gold.
Brilliant personality, I wish her all the success. At the risk of sounding negative...it always feels as though American hosts are inept at going toe to toe with non-American guests. But British hosts can do it all.
Can’t get enough Derry Girls!
I love this woman 😁 brilliant actor, beautiful human being
She's hilarious! New fans here.
she's a delight
Why am I so in love with her?!?!?!
I see one of my derry girls, and I am seated... she is so flicking talented
Never heard of her, but figured with a name like Saoirse, she was probably going to be quite the entertaining character, and she didn't disappoint!
5:10 😭😭😭😭 this sounds terryfying and then 😭😂 shes so good
Love this woman
Love the shoes, outfit and accent…. Fab
Saoirse is excruciatingly lovely and charming!!
Please someone…tell me about her jewelry, that necklace is amazing.
Looks like Newbridge Silver.
❤❤❤ love her from Derry Girls!!! 😊
Such a great series! Bravo ❤ brilliant hilarious
my goodness, she is ADORABLE!!!!
She could have kept going with cute stories. Lovely guest. Never thought they would turn Boccacio's work into a Netflix series. Let's see how it is.
Loved her voice impressions of her own family. Difficult to understand, but hilarious 😂
Fantastic personality
