Lee Evans to me is a modern day Norman Wisdom in his physical heyday. He must be one of Lee’s greatest influences. I saw Norman in Epsom in his Porsche a few years before he died and he started doing his classic grin for the passers-by. He and les Dawson are two of my favorites.
Completely agree. To me his act is an exact copy of Sir Norman Wisdom, is he as musically talented as darling Norman. Same with Les Dawson Two wonderful entertainers.
The difference between British chat shows and American chat shows is that in the US the presenters see themselves as the stars..and in the UK the stars are the stars. Tha'ts why Corden went to the US to do a chat show because he sees himself more important and more of a star than the real stars (don't like him can you tell)
I remember watching Russell Brands interview on youtube; it was striking how poor manners the anchors displayed and how little interest they had in conversing with the actual human being sitting before them. It was striking even to me and I'm not British.
Genuinely surprised by “Ole Garry Trotter” magically spitting bars - perfectly.. I take my wizard hat off to him.. As for Borat aka Sacha Cohen - His Ali-G character was iconic lol Take a look back to the original Ali-G show, he target’s the USA a lot 🤣 Love your content, making people laugh & smile is a fantastic gift we need more of in this world 👍🏻🙏🏻
Never found Mr Bean that funny myself but Edmund Blackadder is hilarious and the last series deals with WW1 in a sensative but also humorous way, and of course Rowan Atkinson caused a bit of local controversy when he wanted to demolish and rebuild his Oxfordshire home in a modern way, still remember reading in the Local rag about how it looks like a petrol station, but Oxfordshire County Council granted planning permission in the end.
I agree 100%. This performance by Rowan was clever but I have never laughed at his character once and hate slapstick and his Lee Evans type comedy yet found "Not The Nine O'Clock News" and then "Blackadder Goes Forth( not so much Seroes1/3) fantastic and brilliantly written and acted.
It’s a shame that Roman Atkinson is known about 95% for Mr Bean (this is because as well as finding it funny, because it is ‘silent’, it can easily be exported to other countries, with no need for dubbing, voiceovers etc etc which is expensive and time consuming. He doesn’t speak, and ppl around the world find it funny. Easy money. But I agree; I think Blackadder (series 2, 3 and the classic 4, in WWI like you mention) is SO much funnier and more clever. Especially with the rest of the cast, from Stephen Fry to Hugh Laurie, Miranda Richardson, Captain Darling….. just brilliant!!
I think it’s called “Russel brand takes over nbc” or something and it’s way way way better to watch the full one. He had the main woman like eating out his palm she was so smitten it was hilarious lol
There's an interview I saw recently that Matt LeBlanc does on the Conan show, about his time in Britain and our casual use of the C word that amused me.
That Russell Brandt section: Watch it. It's amazing. It's obviously unscripted and he just ties them in knots then does an anchorman session with him doing their job for them. It's amazing. Cheers.
Agreed - everyone should watch the whole segment. The short clip here doesn’t do it justice. The presenters were not only useless, but at some point forgot his name and kept referring to him as Willy Brand. For those who don’t know, Willy brand was the German chancellor in the 70s.
Too bad he is an awful actor... I mean really, if you drop the name and the Harry Potter fan bias, he has been awful in everything since. But he has talent in other areas, so not sure why he hasn't gone down those paths... even give Ed Sheeran some competition in the charts.
his 1st time on parky he told his agent he was going to do the bike joke his agent went down on his knees and was begging him NOT to do it, he did next day at school we was all talking about it ua-cam.com/video/V7Eyv2N5X2I/v-deo.html
I think that there have been so many, "wtf is going on / how is this allowed on TV" moments on the Graham Norton show from American guests to fill a video or two.
For the past 10 years at least, he's the best either side of the ocean. The multiple guests are warmed up in the green room with a generous amount of alcohol, then sat on a sofa with 3 others. The American system puts too much pressure on the single artist to be funny, and they're sat in front of a desk like in a job interview.
Hey Amanda, back in the 90's there was a tv sketch show on the BBC called The Fast Show, which by definition was a series of fast paced short comedy sketches. In my opinion the funniest sketch show ever broadcast on TV. There's lots of episodes to watch on youtube, and loads and loads of memorable comedy characters, definitely worth a watch

As a uk expat in USA I find these observations and comments very entertaining. Outside of the main topic of Brit’s on USA TV I have to say the Graham Norton Show has to be one of the most unique and entertaining talk shows on the planet. I love the mingling of cultures, dialects, etc. Keep up the good subject manner, very refreshing.
@@LADYRAEUK I’m currently in Ohio due to work, but I’ve lived in Arizona and Virginia. Don’t like Ohio it’s flat and boring. Loved Arizona. I liked Virginia but the traffic is horrendous. I lived near DC.

I'm a Mackem and used to date an American girl in the 80's. I tried to order a meal in Burger King over there and the woman serving just laughed because she couldn't understand me.
I think that this just illustrates the diversity of the sense of humour, it was so funny how the interviewers just stalled! I think that you have chosen a pretty good range of interviewees there; of them I think my favourite was Helen Mirren, she just stopped him in his tracks 😂😂😂
Helen mirren is about 30yrs older than me, but when she stopped, put her hand gently behind his head and kissed him my jaw stayed open for 10sec, I sound like a mills and boon author.
Good evening Amanda 😀 I love these interviews especially when thing's go seriously off script, more entertaining than just basic sit down interviews 😀👍
@@LADYRAEUK the Russell brand episode was heavily cut on that one, he realised they were patronising him and he gradually builds up to leave each one of them so embarrassed, you need to take a quick look at that one yourself, he totally turns the tables on them. Anyway, back to Jim Jeffreys and gun control stand up routine, this will be something you can relate to, and he performed it in America and I think the NRA would have put a hit on him🤣
Hi Amanda! That full Daniel Radcliffe section is on UA-cam somewhere & it's amazing. He's also done the Elements song on TV that I think is also on UA-cam (I think it was Graham Norton)
I would love, love, LOVE to see Johnny Vegas on a US talk show! Please Amanda, react to 'Johnny Vegas fish'. Johnny at his best, in front of a live studio audience, as the presenters try to make a trailer/promo for the show. You'll see why he would NEVER make it/be accepted onto a US chat show. It's hysterical. I'd post a link but, the YT bots will delete my post within 5 minutes of me putting it up!
The Russel interview is a must watch, he is flirting with the blond journalist and calls her a ''shaft grabber'' on air. One of the funniest videos on youtube.
my god the people at watch mojo love the sounds of their own voices. for christ sake just let us here the clips instead of talking over it telling us what they are saying.
I was passed whilst driving here on the wirral by an awesome James Bond Aston Martin driven by....yep Rowan Atkinson..!!! I was so gobsmacked I nearly crashed my car....he does have relatives here as does 007 ,Daniel Craig, neither get hassled as they do deserve their privacy. My favourite talk show guy is Craig Ferguson...who really made it big Stateside..now an American citizen....off to indulge my twin passions ( apart from Mrs C and Tranmere Rovers..)... a nice glass of wine and an American cop show, as always a great post Amanda...perfect antidote for these lockdown not lockdown days.....E
The Russell Brand interview all 3 of the presenters needed a lesson on how to behave, they mocked and taunted pushed and pulled him, they were rude and disrespectful to him. They got what they disserved had it coming.
He called it out, I don’t like him either, but the fact the male interviewer said he couldn’t understand a word “he’s saying”, not “you’re saying” showed how uninformed, disinterested and bloody rude the three of them were. Brand has a huge personality, that interview could have been brilliant if they were good enough at their jobs to connect with him. Imagine how some of the celebrity interviewers would have dealt with Brand…
I don't really like slapstick comedy but what is clearly impressive about Rowan Atkinson with Mr Bean is he took a traditional clown like performance, and rounded it into a character which has no discernible language/script. As such it 'translates' anywhere in the world which made Mr Bean nigh on ubiquitous. It is why Mr Bean is often shown on in-flight movies, you don't need translations or subtitles - everyone gets it. Not only that, but it is inoffensive. In the before times I was on holiday in Gran Canaria, Mr Bean merch was everywhere. The same can be said for many other locations throughout the world. The pilot TV show was in 1990, over thirty years ago, and aside from TV there are movies and animated series. It is a very clever idea, very well performed and deservingly successful beyond compare. (But just not for me) 😉
Great work as always Amanda, while we are on Rowan Atkinson, he was the corner stone of a show Not The Nine O'Clock News, there were some amazinfg sketches on it, sadly many were topical of the news at the time, but there are some gems that still work, such as Gerald The Talking Gorilla.............you will love it.
He's very keen on Johnny Mathis, When A Child Is Born blaring out 'til all hours. When he was captured he was completely wild. Wild? I was absolutely livid.
I think you need to see the full exchange between Russell Brand & Mika B on YT. This excerpt does not do it full justice. He has her completely freaked out but it’s truly hilarious to watch.
I think you summed it up when talking about Brand. Most USA talk shows, in my opinion, have no idea how to deal with Poms who don't follow their rules.
Your accent is very British sounding, can tell you have been in the UK a while ahaha something about the balance between the American and British in your accent is just really nice to listen to
Amanda, you should watch the clip where the person who plays Borat, also plays a character called Ali G. He goes to America, talking to an army colonel. He's talking about 9/11. But keeps calling it 7/11. Lol.😂, the colonel isn't happy to say the least. Lol
I know this was the US. But, watch Peter Kay on any chat show - it is absolute and utter chaos (Parkinson, Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr). Also, if the smoke alarm does not go off when cooking bacon, you haven't done it right. 👍
Russel brand OWNED them in that interview, they were being hostile and demeaning to him at first, so he had the woman in blue 1000% defences destroyed very quickly, she was reduced to a flirty shy schoolgirl and shes supposed to be a feared woman, the man he put in his place in the end the man had to 100% display respect to Russel sometimes i like russel sometimes i dont, but never underestimate his intelligence
I know this is old but it reminded of a couple interviews where the person was absolutely steaming drunk, but on British TV. The classic is Oliver Reed on Wogan and there's Chris O'Dowd on the last leg, both were like wtf moments lol.
Sorry to be a little predictable and a little off tangent, -but Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes is just above all this. You could see the cringe in the faces and the squeaking buttocks on the chairs of Americans and Brits in the celeb audience.😳🤣😂
Hi Amanda. I’m loving your exploration into British Comedy. I guess you’ve already checked out Kenny Everett’s Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart impressions and Monty Python’s Silly Olympic sketch. There’s also a great funny version of the Dancing In The Street video without music featuring David Bowie and Mick Jagger you could check out. Keep the fun coming! x Ashley Ps I really love the Carrot in a box game and Joe’s poem about naming men’s penises on 8 out of 10 Cats.
lol that is a new right of passage waving a tea towel at a smoke detector because you have burnt the toast, there is that momement that you see the smoke and the pregnant pause as you wait for the alarm to go off that you run to close the door to stop (unsuccessfully) the 2nd one going off
I think it was on the Graham Norton show that Daniel Radcliffe recited the whole of the periodic table. There were elements on it that I'd never heard of. I must point out that when I was in high school in the mid 1970s Chemistry and Physics were not my strongest subjects.
You should watch Graham Norton interviewing Samuel L Jackson & Keira Knightly, when Samuel talks about interviewers confusing him for Laurence Fishburn, Keira’s quite funny taking joy over who people confuse her for
I’m pretty sure waving a tea towel over a smoke alarm is part of the British citizenship test these days so you’re all good 😂
Hahah 🤣🤣
@@LADYRAEUK if you press the button on the smoke alarm it shuts it up :)
@@LADYRAEUK my advice don't react to vids where you hardly get to hear the clips as the narrator chatting bollocks over it
If it isn't already, swap it for a kitchen specific smoke alarm, they usually have a pause button on them.

Your voice is so relaxing. Please could you record a series of bed time stories.
Check out her ASMR channel.

@@LADYRAEUK Wow. I guess everyone had the same thought.
Watch Mojo is like that mate of yours that says "You've got to watch this..." then talks all over it and tells you the punchline
Your accent is very British sounding, can tell you have been in the UK a while ahaha something about the balance between the American and British in your accent is just really nice to listen to
Mr Rowan Atkinson also does own and race a very rare Jaguar Mk VII. He does not 'hang about'. :=)
Amanda it doesn’t take much to make you snort when you laugh, it makes me laugh even more lol 😂
Lol I’m glad 😊
Amanda, you should watch the clip where the person who plays Borat, also plays a character called Ali G. He goes to America, talking to an army colonel. He's talking about 9/11. But keeps calling it 7/11. Lol.😂, the colonel isn't happy to say the least. Lol
I'm waiting on the chaos ..... you'll need to go searching for outrageous Brit chat show moments.
Amanda's lesson in positive thinking #1:
Hugh: "I did a bad thing"
Amanda: "All I can think about is Notting Hill. That was a great movie!"
I think this is a illustration how British comics tend to use language rather than volume. :-)
👍🏻👍🏻
I don't even have an oven, but a GF Grill that sets my towel flailing right arm regularly to shut the alarm off cause I can't open my windowless!🤣🤣🤣🖖
🤣🤣🤣
*window😉
British comediens are the worlds finest comediens.
I know this was the US. But, watch Peter Kay on any chat show - it is absolute and utter chaos (Parkinson, Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr).
Also, if the smoke alarm does not go off when cooking bacon, you haven't done it right. 👍
Hahah phew! 🤣😊
I’ll have a look at Peter
Eric Morecambe' could even make his spectacles look funny...
Amanda press the main fire alarm button and they all go off.
Russel brand OWNED them in that interview, they were being hostile and demeaning to him at first, so he had the woman in blue 1000% defences destroyed very quickly, she was reduced to a flirty shy schoolgirl and shes supposed to be a feared woman, the man he put in his place in the end the man had to 100% display respect to Russel
sometimes i like russel sometimes i dont, but never underestimate his intelligence
I agree 👍🏻
your voice is so relaxing
That’s why Craig Ferguson was amazing
👍🏻
I know this is old but it reminded of a couple interviews where the person was absolutely steaming drunk, but on British TV.
The classic is Oliver Reed on Wogan and there's Chris O'Dowd on the last leg, both were like wtf moments lol.
Russell Brand should never be underestimated.
I suspect msnbc wouldn't have brand on these days. Its no surprise msnbc hosts had no idea whats going on, nothings changed.
"people of america we're gonna be ok, everything's alright" nice one russell u gotta keep the fairytale alive for the masses ;)
Brand politely sticking it to the Morning show hosts is worth a watch in full 👍
🙌
Sorry to be a little predictable and a little off tangent, -but Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes is just above all this. You could see the cringe in the faces and the squeaking buttocks on the chairs of Americans and Brits in the celeb audience.😳🤣😂
Yes, play that one. The look on Tom Hank's face you can't forget.
Seconded
Hi Amanda. I’m loving your exploration into British Comedy. I guess you’ve already checked out Kenny Everett’s Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart impressions and Monty Python’s Silly Olympic sketch. There’s also a great funny version of the Dancing In The Street video without music featuring David Bowie and Mick Jagger you could check out. Keep the fun coming!

Ps I really love the Carrot in a box game and Joe’s poem about naming men’s penises on 8 out of 10 Cats.
If WatchMojo thinks this qualifies as "chaos", they should check out some of the stuff pissed-up Oliver Reed got up to on chat shows in the 80s.
The full Russell Brand interview is definitely worth a watch. 😂
I’ll check it out
lol that is a new right of passage waving a tea towel at a smoke detector because you have burnt the toast, there is that momement that you see the smoke and the pregnant pause as you wait for the alarm to go off that you run to close the door to stop (unsuccessfully) the 2nd one going off
The Russell Brand clip in full is amazing
I think it was on the Graham Norton show that Daniel Radcliffe recited the whole of the periodic table. There were elements on it that I'd never heard of. I must point out that when I was in high school in the mid 1970s Chemistry and Physics were not my strongest subjects.
He's neurodivergent. Sometimes we get a bit intense in our interests.
You should watch Graham Norton interviewing Samuel L Jackson & Keira Knightly, when Samuel talks about interviewers confusing him for Laurence Fishburn, Keira’s quite funny taking joy over who people confuse her for
I’ll check it out 👍🏻😊
Worth watching Ali G when he interviews the beckhams for Children in Need. Brutal to be honest but so funny!
I’ll check it out 😊
The smoke alarm is how you know it's ready!
Hahaha 🤣🤣
If you haven't seen High Grant's performance in Guy Richie's movie, The Gentleman it's glorious! 🤣
My grandchildren think the smoke alarm means dinner’s ready!!!!!😵💫
I just Googled & watched the full Russell Brand v Morning Joe debacle. Those people do that for a living? (one of the questions "he" asks)
When I saw the title of this one I was expecting Oliver Reed. This wasn't really chaos, it was more about memorable moments.
😊
