  • Dr. Who star David Tennant is also a bonafide Shakespearean actor, so Stephen has a few questions for him. No, not the Hamlet question.

    Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

    Saying "exercised" instead of "worked up"..."exalted" instead of even "prestigious"...the man's diction always gets me every bit as much as the accent. So unfailingly clever and literate on his feet, far above and beyond what one expects from celebrity interviews. He may be "common" but his vocabulary is Oxbridge.

      In another interview, DT remarked how Julian Fellows claims that only a person with an elite education could understand Shakespeare. Meanwhile, DT is undeniably the most acclaimed Shakespearian actor of his age and one of the greatest of any age, who hails from a middle-class background and education. I think it may shed light on perhaps why he has never even been nominated, never mind awarded a BAFTA (other than the Scottish BAFTA and a gazillion other awards, like an international Emmy). Yet, he has presented BAFTA awards and in a week, he will host the 2024 BAFTAS. What a secure guy! That only adds to his allure.

Like, as she put it, among anyone who knows anything about Shakespeare, the "Shakespeare truthers", as you call them, are the equivalent of people who say that Elvis was the one who assassinated JFK using time travel to be in two place at once. At least, that's how seriously she takes them.
      And, sidenote, this video got brought up in that same discussion, by someone other than me, just as I was thinking about bringing it up :) And our professor said that she agrees with David Tennant.

      I think a great many of them also want to be smarter than Shakespeare. Thus they find it disconcerting that he knows something of the classics, even though 90% of Shakespeare's classical references can be traced back to the same source: Ovid's _Metamorphoses_ . But the anti-Stratfordians haven't even read Ovid, so Shakespeare's knowledge strikes them as uncanny. The same thing goes for his alleged knowledge of court life. That was current news in his era, but the anti-Stratfordians think that because they don't know much about the court of Early Modern England that nobody else could possibly know about it except a court insider, not even at the time. It would be like someone in the 25th century concluding that Andrew Davies couldn't have possibly scripted the BBC miniseries _House of Cards_ , therefore it was actually written by John Major to justify his leadership challenge. In fact, John Webster was a far more incisive observer of court life, and he was the son of a coachmaker.

      Well originally they were. England tried to do away with scottish culture and language after the 45 uprising. They banned the clan system, tartan and history (after the distruction of the records)on pain of death. Some might say they are still trying, which is why tennent was not alowed to use his true accent in the role of Dr who. Capoldi was allowed but he was less "hip" and "youthfull" so it became less of an issue for them.

    • @adriancox395

      @@rainblaze. Wiki: "It is generally regarded that "clan tartans" date no earlier than the beginning of the 19th century, and are an example of an invented tradition."
      "The Act of Proscription outlawed Highland dress unless worn in military services although its impact is debated and the law was repealed in 1782." Don't tell me...Wiki is a tool of the English state?
      "Some might say they are still trying, which is why tennent (sic) was not alowed (sic) to use his true accent in the role of Dr who. Capoldi (sic) was allowed but he was less "hip" and "youthfull" (sic) so it became less of an issue for them."
      Yes, some might say that... Probably the kind of idiot that has a fancy to childishly romanticize what they mistakenly think of as "the Celts." I've found those people usually tend to be from the USA, where European history isn't as strong in the educational curricula as it is back home.
      Who is "they" and "them" btw? All the English in their powdered wigs and red coats?
      RTD was showrunner when Tenant came on board, and it was his request that the role not be regionalized so Tenant used his accent from Casanova (also a RTD project). Steven Moffat took over Who and he didn't make any request to Capaldi. So your argument might be that RTD, and Granada Television (producer of Casanova) are in some way some kind of crypto-imperialist oppression machine. I'd say that's not really borne out by their resumes. And if the BBC had some kind of agenda during the RTD years (again, not borne out by the BBC output during this time), then Moffatt must be some kind of undercover rebel freedom fighter who risked life and limb to "allow" his lead actor to use the accent he wanted to use.
      It's all possible. I mean, they are after all suppressing "the Celts" with selective fluoridation of the water and sedatives sprayed down in the form of "vapor trails" from commercial jets.

      However, Christopher Eccleston... Holy Hell. That man can make you feel 20 different emotions with just a facial expression and those EYES! He is a superb actor and he really brought the Doctor to life. EVERYTHING rode on Chris' shoulders. If he failed to deliver, the series would have died again.
      Nine was fire and ice. The true Oncoming Storm. Yet, his hearts (what was left of them) had such a capacity for love. He was power and gentleness all wrapped up in a black leather jacket.

    Actually, Shakespeare 'invented' 5,000 words, including such common expressions as 'assassination' and 'hint'. He used twice as many words as an educated person today would use, not to mention phrases such as 'to catch a cold.' That is why he is in our cultural DNA.

      So so wrong
      Assassination
      The earliest known use of the verb "to assassinate" in printed English was by Matthew Sutcliffe in A Briefe Replie to a Certaine Odious and Slanderous Libel, Lately Published by a Seditious Jesuite, a pamphlet printed in 1600, five years before it was used in Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1605)

    All that glitters is not gold originates further back. The 12th century French theologian Alain de Lille wrote "Do not hold everything gold that shines like gold". Geoffrey Chaucer also expressed the same idea in Middle English in the poem The House of Fame, 1380 - "Hit is not al gold, that glareth". Nevertheless, it is Shakespeare who gave us the version we now use.

    It's possible at least some of those words and phrases were already in use and Shakespeare was just the first to write them down. But there'd be no way of knowing that unless we find something earlier with them in. So for all intents and purposes, they're his. And an amazing list it is. Note: it also includes every word that starts with "un-", because he was the first one to put that prefix on words to indicate their opposite.

  • @jimgreen2080

    Even more amazing about Shakespeare's plays -- he often wrote them under time stress, he (rightfully) wouldn't give his actors full scripts for fear they'd sell them to his competitors, he couldn't include much stage direction because actors had no time to rehearse anything elaborate , he wrote nearly every line in iambic pentatmeter ... and he could have made an unbelievable reputation for himself on his poetry alone.

    I love his purple tie. Nice reference to his Marvel character.
