***** All that shit is rehearsed though. I've seen Craig Ferguson hosting a panel at comic con. He was so fucking concerned with being funny and cool that I absolutely loathed him.
I don't think it was rehearsed, but they usually tape 2-3 hours and only show the best 45 minutes or whatever the run-time is. This is how all the shows do it. Go to a taping yourself and sit in the audience, it's usually free and a really good time.
The secret: it is a 4 minutes long story. Graham allows the guest to talk for that long, no rush, no interruptions, without the need to make jokes and trying to be funnier than the guest.
After the bit about the cassette player, I was kind of hoping that she was the wanking ghost of a maid who died in the 1980's but Maureen from the pub is pretty good too.
And then Daniel's like "We can all go home now. That's the best story of the night." and he doesn't try to one-up it or anything. He is indeed a lovely man.
Haha Justin was not horrified lol. He’s dated some Hollywood pigs! Remember he ripped Janet’s top off at the Super Bowl? He’s no stranger to a story like that! Get real 😂
Being a male who has been abused and defiled, it’s actually not funny. Many of us have unalived ourselves because of people like you who find humour in our abuse. Just think about that for a minute. Really. Sit down and think about what it’s like for a man to have his boundaries breached and explain how it’s better than when a woman’s are. Welcome to the new millenium.
@@rebeccatowner6700 No, clearly he DID feel defiled and the best way he can cope with it is to make it into a joke. No other reason to raise the incident. Speaking from experience. There are many crying jesters out here because *men aren’t allowed to NOT want sex from anyone with boobs*. I hope you never feel as defiled as those of us who have lived the ab*se do. You really don’t seem to get it.
@@parapoliticos52 exactly! She pretended to be disgusted but those stares she gave him tell all. She even closed her eyes imagining it all with her being there haha
Miriam would've been around 50 at the time this incident happened. The name Maureen is derived from Miriam. Think she might have an old feather duster lying about at home?
I must say...There's something about the Graham Norton show that makes the guests confess some of their craziest experiences, and mind you that's a good thing for us viewers. As a Yank - I'm not into any of the late night shows here in the States (yeah - maybe Conan, and Jimmy have their moments), but Graham Norton has them beat hands down.
You should watch some of Craig Ferguson. It's really weird be he also just lets his guests talk and have the most bizarre stories. I do agree Graham is the best though!
This was the funniest and best-told story I had heard in a LONG time. The set-up, the pay-off and the fact that there were so many pay-offs. A masterclass in story-telling!
Shocked, maybe, but I don’t think appalled- looks like a combination of “I can’t believe you had this experience” and “I can believe you’re so comfortable sharing this experience” and “I can’t believe you can/are sharing this experience *on national tv*”, but I don’t think she’s doing any pearl clutching. Looks like shocked but delighted
@@TheIansanity She literally said it's the best story she's ever heard in the middle of his telling of it. Before Daniel says it's a great story. She loved every moment of it.
Not only does the guy have an amazing voice but the way he calmly tells the story is friggin hilarious! Harry Potter laughing his arse off is just the icing lol
@@neilgodfrey2669 it’s not made up. I read the memoir of one of his backing singers recently - she was there for the tour rehearsals. She confirms this happened - they had to get security beefed up after because although this was harmless there are plenty of nutters out there who you wouldn’t want wandering in
I also love the epilogue with that witty answer from Justin. When Robbie asks 'Too soon?' (as if the story was too sensitive to bring it back too soon) and Justin replied with 'No, my friend. Too late' (as if it's too late to avoid sharing that story). Brilliant.
I love that the other three guests are all used to being the biggest star in the room. Until Robbie walks in, that is. He's sold twice as many records as Timberlake and can sell out a worldwide stadium tour on a whim.
Not sure about that. Timberlake has sold in the region of 117 million albums whereas Williams has sold around 75 million. Williams was never big in the states which would account for Timberlake selling more albums
As funny as Williams' story is to listen to, Kendrick's wide-eyed and wide-mouthed reactions to his narrative are even more hilarious to watch. I can't keep my eyes off her. There are times she looks terrified over what Williams might say next.
this is hilarious. Robbie can always be relied on to be risque. - ya gotta love him. But the shocked stunned look on Anna Kendriks face is priceless - sheesh hasn't she heard anything like that before. - not in America haha
madisonmosman the thing is, this story is the difference between men and women. There is no way Anna is ever going to wake up and let some random guy finger her. But in the right circumstances, Justin and Dan would definitely let some random girl jack them off.
In american this whole thing would have propably been cutoff and cencured and everyone would be "confused". Atleast Graham lets his guests do the talking without interrupting like american hosts love to do between their fake laughs.
@Reaper5.56 Xx You seem to know quite a lot about Europe. Better check your sources. Meanwhile go to walmart and buy a nice gun for your next killing spree, you hypocritical "cultural american" - which btw is the paradox of the year at least.
I start to believe everyone just wanna bring Graham to laugh. His laughs always come from the bottom of his heart, that is just wholesame and gives everyone Energy.
I do like Robbie Williams nowadays,props where they are due,the man knows he was never a saint,and makes no apologies about it. Most ''superstars'' would feel reluctant to tell story of this nature because of 100s of different ways it ''might'' blow back.
I wrote this beneath an other story of Robbie, but he would be a brilliant stand-up comedian; telling stories about his life (on the road), handfull of songs in between; would be a huge hit!
This is why commas are important. I saw the title "Robbie Williams tells hand job story with Justin Timberlake..." and thought: "OMG! Justin Timberlake gave Robbie Williams a hand-job!" Imagine my disappointment to find it was just a random crazy lady.
Two months later, I'm watching this again, and laughing more at Anna Kendrick's reaction than at the story itself. It's like with every line Robbie utters, a little bit of Anna's mind gets blown. Her little off-screen squeaks are just as hilarious as anything on screen. Then at the last line of, "That's Maureen from the pub," whatever amount of Anna's mind is left by that point, just blows away completely, leaving her in this stunned, near catatonic state. Dan's just rolling with it, Justin is visibly wondering what he would do in a similar situation, but Anna melted down! It's quite hilarious.
Rewatching this now and you know what’s crazy- one might think he’s a little drunk telling this story but in fact he’s the only one on the couch who’s drinking tea and not alcohol!! 😂😂
haha this is quite fucking funny, combined with robbies storytelling, the guests' expressions and justin going "you just shitted all over my obama story!"
every once in a while I come back here to listen to this brilliant story and to have a great laugh
Me too 😉
And me lol! like tonight.
Yep, same. Been a few years, but Im back in 2022.
Same here, mate👍🏻
Hahaha, that's why I'm here right now
The story beings with "So I was renting a castle, right..."
And it somehow keeps that energy through the entire thing. Truly classic story.
It's one of those "Just Robbie Williams Things" 🤣🤣
as you do
Yea totally normal activities. I rented a castle yesterday
@@amerly586 How'd you find Maureen, then?
Was just wondering if she'd upgraded her audio technology, that's all...
What?
This is why I love the Graham Norton Show. I'm from the U.S. and we have nothing that competes with this.
you should have seen him when he was on channel 4
Eric Andre Show
***** All that shit is rehearsed though. I've seen Craig Ferguson hosting a panel at comic con. He was so fucking concerned with being funny and cool that I absolutely loathed him.
I don't think it was rehearsed, but they usually tape 2-3 hours and only show the best 45 minutes or whatever the run-time is. This is how all the shows do it. Go to a taping yourself and sit in the audience, it's usually free and a really good time.
To much censorship, and pretty much everything is rehearsed in television in the U.S. Right?
The secret: it is a 4 minutes long story. Graham allows the guest to talk for that long, no rush, no interruptions, without the need to make jokes and trying to be funnier than the guest.
Or forcing guests to participate in some childish games which includes food spitting or eating some awful animal parts.
@@Lark1610 I'll never get that segment. It's just him torturing his guests.
Yeah he's a great host
ATTENTION JIMMY KIMMEL!
Graham Norton really understands how to host a talk show, he has got to be one of the best out there.
"Maureen from the pub" sounds like a Little Britain character lol
It may be Daffyds sister 🤣
OH HE WAS GAWWWWGEOUS!
After the bit about the cassette player, I was kind of hoping that she was the wanking ghost of a maid who died in the 1980's but Maureen from the pub is pretty good too.
D M That’s exactly what I thought lmao 😂
@Sarina Freeman So what? There's nothing wrong with that. Piss off, twat.
Daniel Radcliffe: "It's not too late to back out"
What a lovely man.
And then Daniel's like "We can all go home now. That's the best story of the night." and he doesn't try to one-up it or anything. He is indeed a lovely man.
I just love how US-American guests are so disarmingly shocked during these kinds of stories while Europeans are generally highly amused!
Justin doesn't seem fazed by it at all.
Have you seen American reactions to Miriam margolyes? Priceless, we are appalled. Lol, I dont know why
@@LouisFGraham Depends on the American.
Neanderthal Cave Becky no I'm talking about on the whole in aggregate, not individuals... this is a population level comment.
a lot of Americans, esp. celebrities, are really uptight about talking about sex
Love how Anna and Justin look traumatised by the end of the story and Daniel is sat there pissing himself laughing!.
British people, we have no limited or filter
Haha Justin was not horrified lol. He’s dated some Hollywood pigs! Remember he ripped Janet’s top off at the Super Bowl? He’s no stranger to a story like that! Get real 😂
They just pretending so
You can't beat a bit of Robbie...he's always hilarious
Maureen from the pub definitely beat a bit of Robbie
that's exactly what Maureen said.
Maureen certainly can and did.
You most definitely can beat a bit of robbie 🤣😂😁
she did.
“It’s confusing and I felt defiled” kills me every time
Basically because he clearly felt anything but defiled.
Being a male who has been abused and defiled, it’s actually not funny. Many of us have unalived ourselves because of people like you who find humour in our abuse. Just think about that for a minute.

@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin buddy, it's not that deep
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofinyeah but it was consensual so you actually got nothing here
Anna kendrick's expressions are hilarious throughout, going from apprehension to disgust, annoyance, and everything in between!
cringey
she loved it
I believe she's over reacting a bit
She's acting......she's actually thinking, 'this isn't funny, it's fucking weird'.
@@parapoliticos52 exactly! She pretended to be disgusted but those stares she gave him tell all. She even closed her eyes imagining it all with her being there haha
I would LOVE to see Robbie and Miriam Margolyes on the couch telling stories.
Miriam would've been around 50 at the time this incident happened. The name Maureen is derived from Miriam. Think she might have an old feather duster lying about at home?
Robbie was probably that soldier having a wank in a tree she was talking about.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Miriam is a lesbian so she wouldn't be giving handjobs to Robbie or any other bloke :p
Kasey Walker It's not about Miriam doing anything to Robbie, it's about them telling their respective stories - read the comment again
My bad, misread the question. Thanks for the clarity.
His comic delivery is just genius. This could literally be a stand up routine
Yip He Built It Up To A Climax

FMichael1970 james corden
nope Graham is in a different league to Corden.
You should watch some of Craig Ferguson. It's really weird be he also just lets his guests talk and have the most bizarre stories. I do agree Graham is the best though!
HolandaChiquita n
And this is why we love Robbie Williams...
My respect for Robbie instantly went up after hearing this story....brilliant, what a legend, and great storyteller!
Robbie Williams:
NATIONAL TREASURE
This was the funniest and best-told story I had heard in a LONG time. The set-up, the pay-off and the fact that there were so many pay-offs. A masterclass in story-telling!
I'm never going to be tired of this story!
So British "ahhh, go on then..." that killed me xPPPPPP
The 2nd funniest thing about this video is Anna Kendrick's reaction to Robbie Williams story :P
She's just so ... scandalised. It's beautiful.
Anna kendrick acts all shocked but its so fake
What does the Calvin Klien and "pussy" exchange mean?...can you tell?
@Flenif2247 aah..I get it. Like a high priced thing isn't supposed to be manly..sort a thing
@Flenif2247 Oh yeah try living in miami or tampa and say that romeo:)
Any story that begins with “i was renting a castle” it has to end with an happy ending. 😅
Lol, clever 👌
In that case I'm going to rent a castle.
At least one, apparently
Daniel Radcliffe snorting in laughter and Anna Kendrick looking appalled in the same frame is what makes this comedy gold!
Shocked, maybe, but I don’t think appalled- looks like a combination of “I can’t believe you had this experience” and “I can believe you’re so comfortable sharing this experience” and “I can’t believe you can/are sharing this experience *on national tv*”, but I don’t think she’s doing any pearl clutching. Looks like shocked but delighted
@@TheIansanity She literally said it's the best story she's ever heard in the middle of his telling of it. Before Daniel says it's a great story.
She loved every moment of it.
The seriousness of his face as he delivers Maureen's lines make this story all the more funnier!
Actual story telling perfection haha. Only the English can pull that off
@@mattsmith6108 I agree with the former and challenge the latter.
The "I'll wank you off" was comedic genius
He sure built it up to a climax
" Off she went on her merry way " 😂😂
Robbie: “I was renting a castle”
Radcliffe: “HA!”
Lol he’s like “what do you know about castles?” 😂
more like "Of course you were"
Wonder which Castle?
It' Kendrick who is shouting HA
still the worlds greatest living entertainer, even when he tell's a naughty story.
@Roger B but his boyband was big in the US right?
I love Robby and your enthusiasm is cute, but greatest living entertainer is quite the stretch. Lol
@@kristianberg4264 comment is 6 years old. Time goes by. I think for now Rick Astley is ;-)
this is the most english thing i've ever seen
Not only does the guy have an amazing voice but the way he calmly tells the story is friggin hilarious! Harry Potter laughing his arse off is just the icing lol
That’s because he’s probably been rehearsing it before he went on knowing he had to make up something funny to say
@@neilgodfrey2669 No doubt, like almost every other celebrity. The guy is still a great story teller.
@@neilgodfrey2669 it’s not made up. I read the memoir of one of his backing singers

Robbie williams, long time entertainer and he has probably told that story more than a few times.... even to the point of doing the accents.
great story teller
Can't believe the BBC has taken this clip down and removed it from the show. It's pure gold
Justin Timberlake is surprisingly uptight about this... Radcliffe just totally goes nuts over the story :D
boring american...
Are you kidding, he is he only one not scandalised and shocked....he's heard it all before.
He's uncomfortable because he actually has herpes...
@Michael B I think this one deserves a couple of more likes.
He did begin as a Disney kid, born and raised in the Bible Belt. Looked more disapproving here than envious.
British humour has no limited or filter, you can tell by daniel reaction and robbie's content when telling the story. Love being British
totally agree. i love the brits
@@sugarx6687 I too
Daniels not British. He's Jewish
@@WakaWaka2468a yes, the nationality you have when you're from the country of ehm... hmm. Nope, British it is.

He says the story with utter calm... respect.
LMAO! This story just keeps getting better and better...
It's 2021 and by far the one of the funniest interviews iv seen on this show
I love Anna's reaction in this 😂
Like her face is hilarious.
I know, it's this wonderful combination of hysteria, horror and flabbergastedness.
There's a Photoshop still in there too...
They'll know what to do.
She overacted
She always overreacts to everything on every tv show, as far as I've seen.....she acts like she got out of drama school 2 days ago.
The best anecdote on a TV show. It got a surprise ending. Awesome Robbie Williams.
this is hands down my favourite story ever. and his delivery is on point.
Thats what she said.
I 've heard better
This is the pinnacle of celebrity talk shows...
I come back to this video every so often for a good laugh.
That is without a question the most insane story ever told on this show.

Of course you are
Only in this show many celebrities feel safe enough to tell stories like this one. The Graham Norton is the best talk show.
As funny as Williams' story is to listen to, Kendrick's wide-eyed and wide-mouthed reactions to his narrative are even more hilarious to watch. I can't keep my eyes off her. There are times she looks terrified over what Williams might say next.
"Hi, Kids!" - 😂😂😂😂
Hi, whats morning glory? im 10 years old mum wont tell me what it is..
Zukimad is it okay though? I feel like I'm gonna violate your mum's terms or something
dont say anything
It's when you wake up with a boner (erection)
@sean ford bloody hell seriously
Robbie is incredibly talented, glad he's still around after his dark days.
Robbie Williams is always hilarious during interviews. Bet he would be a good time to have a beer with.
You have to be seriously comfortable in your own skin to pull off (no pun intended) a story like that. Kudos to Robbie Williams
Indeed and he built it up to a mighty Climax
I keep coming back to watch this every week! Can't get enough if it! 😅
Love Robbie, he's so funny and he has a fantastic personality
Robbie Williams stealing Timberlake's glory...priceless
this robbie is just a little crazy!!! he is one of best singer ever!!!
I feel like Anna Kendrick doesn't understand how much greatness she is in the presence of while being there with Robbie.
0:03 that smile ladies and gents is the smile of a man who knows he is guilty
Mau rice new yoker could arise... 👀
When Robbie started his story with "so I was renting a castle," I thought to myself, "Hogwarts, perhaps," just because Harry Potter was there.
Hahaha me too! I looked at his face and saw him thinking: I've been to one
I only just noticed Daniel's "HA!" at Robbie!
Love how Timberlake was trying to make it about him and robbie turned it around
@Mike Mikel Ikr ?! with his Obama's story and all LOL
This by far is the most interesting story ever told in Graham Norton show!
Love him, so open, genuine and honest and gorgeous.
When I am sad I always come back to this story!
Anna Kendrick was losing her shit xD
I love JT's vacant look at 1:55, it just makes this even funnier.
Graham’s ‘What a lovely, lovely story’ at the end was so hilarious
This is the best story I’ve ever heard on Graham show 😂👏🏻
Robbie tells the best stories, he's such an interesting man.
that would've been a great story to tell on the big red chair
this is hilarious. Robbie can always be relied on to be risque. - ya gotta love him. But the shocked stunned look on Anna Kendriks face is priceless - sheesh hasn't she heard anything like that before. - not in America haha

I should start all of my stories with "back in the day, I was renting a castle."
Anna’s reaction to this is the cutest thing in the entire world
Harry’s like “the only person who visits me when I’m sleeping is Voldemort 😭”
Calvin Kleins?
Yeah
Pussy
I laughed so hard
Anna Kendrick's reactions made this clip. The story was good, her reactions made it awesome.

Cannot get enough of these clips! I want to be on the audience so badly! And I’m American!
Robbie 1000000 times > Justin
I could watch the 10 hour version of it and it would still make me laught 😂😂😂😂😂
i've seen all Grahm Norton clips on youtube and this is by far the best story ever told on that couch
Love to see him and Miriam Margolyes on together.
This is why commas are important. I saw the title "Robbie Williams tells hand job story with Justin Timberlake..." and thought: "OMG! Justin Timberlake gave Robbie Williams a hand-job!" Imagine my disappointment to find it was just a random crazy lady.

Really, you were disappointed? I thought this story was crazy enough already
Pete Cholewinski 😄😄😄
It's like anoter title from a few years back: "James McAvoy Unloads on Jennifer Lawrence."

i swear every time Robbie Williams is on this show i piss my pants laughing
"Calvin Klein's? Yeah. Pussy" :-D

This is the best
Rewatching this now and you know what’s crazy- one might think he’s a little drunk telling this story but in fact he’s the only one on the couch who’s drinking tea and not alcohol!! 😂😂
He’s been sober since 2001
This story never gets old 😂😂
I love how after Robbie tells the story he turns to Justin and says to soon and Justin responds with too late!!😂😂😂
Too soon for what?
Just that "yeah go on then" made me tear up 😂😂😂
Hahahaha 😂 absolutely perfect wasnt it
Robbie is such an amazing person...love him!
Robbie has the best stories for the grandkids
haha this is quite fucking funny, combined with robbies storytelling, the guests' expressions and justin going "you just shitted all over my obama story!"
Best talk show in the world.
We need Graham here in America!
Nobody else gets guests to tell these kinds of stories!
Nobody!
That's just it buddy, america gobbles up people, and changes them, and turns them into something else for the worse
I think that is the pinnacle of Norton's show. It can only go downhill from there.....🤣🤣
