he sits like that a lot - or at least one arm like that a lot - on other shows. I bet he sits like that most places provided he's got something to hook his elbows onto.
to be honest I think it seems that way just from this clip because each guest comes onto the show 1 by 1, and theyll pretty much spend a few minutes interviewing each one rather than just have them all there and involve them all at the same time. So seeing as this was like James's 10 minutes, the focus was near enough all on him
MOLE Graham Norton’s guests sit in exactly the same way... they just have stupid unfunny awkward segments like the flipping chair. I love Norton’s show and he often has great guests, but I would love a more mature feeling.
AKindChap u cannot fault Graham Norton’s show and format the guests open up and are way more relaxed than any other talk show in the world they even say this themselves
@@-M0LE Agreed Moley, I've heard many of the people (that have been on Graham Norton's show) talk about how they enjoyed it. They definitely relax and open up a lot more on there. A lot of chat shows are copying Graham's format, with the celebs all lined up on a couch, talking to the host (and each other), obviously this one (Jonathan Ross) but also some in the US are doing it now too... =o)
I know. I don't why they force these people who have nothing in common to just sit next to each other awkwardly. Graham Norton is the only show I know that does it well.
@@bmjs6707 It works with Norton because he swaps between them all and interacts with them. This is just a one on one interview but with the other guests sitting there like dead meat.
@@bmjs6707 The quality of Jonathan Ross' ITV guests is far worse than the calibre of celebrity he had on his BBC show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. It isn't just because the BBC are by far the most well known non-American TV channel within American circles; Jonathan Ross doesn't get many A-list non-British celebs is because his current interview technique is pretty terrible - it's negative and contrarian. Graham Norton used to get tons of Hollywood superstars on his show when he was on Channel 4 (V/So Graham Norton), despite almost nobody knowing what C4 is in the US. If Norton was on ITV he'd still have a couch of international superstars mixed with British comedians/actors...meanwhile, Jonathan Ross has Harry Redknapp, John Barnes and Naomi Campbell and Gemma Collins...
6:26 when I watched this live, I burst out laughing he just mugs her off and she doesn't even realise. He walks her into that final line so well. Had everyone else on strings the whole interview.
In fairness to her, she did warn us about tune she is about to make with the producer she name dropped. It's very kind of her to give us the heads up so we can ignore it!!
Wow, James was shoved in to what he’ll probably look back at and call his toughest gig ever. I could feel the awkwardness almost to the point of cringe, none of which caused by himself. The fact he maintained his persona without letting these boring fucks get the better of him is something to be admired.
Honestly, I preferred that he was the only interesting one there. This resulted in more focus on Acaster. He was dynamite in this short interview. I feel like he even knew that the others wouldn't be too good to bounce off of, so he got that turtleneck to have more material.
@@samcrow3786 - Well! the new Oxford Dictionary states that a 'Gemma Collins' has many meanings, the main ones being talentless, fat, lazy, useless, entitled, ugly, annoying and highly delusional.
James is Genius, there is quiet a thin line here, , his comedy is extremely well delivered, his ability to add a word here and there, allows his audience to connect with him on every level.
Finished watching Repertoire again. My 3rd time all the way through and still came here for more. That's like 12 hours of his stand up. Brilliant, brilliant stuff. Incredible really.
Nx Doyle 1) I love your avatar - premium-era Pixies 2) I think Barnes gets him after a while, which makes me happy. Redknapp’s an old fella who’s struggling to keep up.
Easily the best British comic on the scene at the minute, by a mile. Only Mickey Flanagan can challenge him. His comedy is so clever and his Wit is razor sharp. “I can’t tell you yet” “That’s a good title” 😂😂😂
Rest of couch to themselves: *ok. Don't be worried but it's our biggest threat yet. A COMEDIAN. Remember the mantra: NO LAUGHTER LINES. NO LAUGHTER LINES. NO LAUGHTER LINES* And proceed to act emotionless throughout James' interview.
When Noel Fielding pointed James Acaster out for yelling "Potassium Vision" in one of the Never Mind The Buzzcocks episodes, I knew he was destined for bigger and greater things. And here we are.
aww, i was going to add this to my favorites, and it was already in my favorites. I guess I'll double favorite, just like that lasagna, better the second time.
I love that he has the confidence of a rockstar In this interview
:) I love the nonchalant way he says hello to Naomi Campbell! Not a bother on him!
Me 2 x think he is amazing x well said x love am god bless x
He's always like this 😂 it's why he's a great comedian
@@davidlean1060 To be fair to James, the woman has a lengthy history of violent, physical assaults. I'd be careful around her too.
@@kimaboe I just love the confidence and nonchalance of him. It was as if he was saying hi to the woman at the checkouts in Tescos!
He's so quick witted with his answers.
sir capitano that’s his job u can’t be a comedian without that
600th like 💕
@Alex Briggs cry some more?
apparently you and one and a half k people havent learned its all fake and scripted
@@tonywords6713 and even if it is, a decent comedian should still be quick witted. I've no doubt J.A. is exactly that.
I'm particularly enjoying James's impression of T-rex arms throughout the interview.
Lmao same here
he sits like that a lot - or at least one arm like that a lot - on other shows. I bet he sits like that most places provided he's got something to hook his elbows onto.
i love it
Arron Healy z
there appears to be a certain disconnect between him and the rest of the couch
The beauty is he doesn't give 2 shits 😂😂
To be honest, you couldn't really find a crowd in which he wouldn't be incongruous in.
It's the amount of brain cells
Johannes Sylvester he seems to fit in well with the crowd on taskmaster if you’ve seen that
@@Name-vm6op thats true him rhod and wang have pretty good chemistry.
This show seems to have a very awkward format with the dead meat on the couch. It suits James' weirdness, though.

I love how James starts sentences without knowing how they're going to end and then just fills in the gaps.
Pretty much like all of us, all of the time.
The ignorant host line is hysterical. The way he talks himself down after that is absolute genius.
Polo neck, gotta roll with it 😂 went over everyone’s head.
I see what you did there... 😂😂
By its nature, a polo neck is under your head
@@KaninTuzi but to put it on, it has to go.....

@@nomchompsky3012 Thanks, i was going to ask who the other guests were. (except Harry Redknapp)
Sometimes you're not as dried apricots as you think you are

James absolutely owns every room he walks into, no matter who else is there. What an icon.
"What's the track called?"
"I can't tell you yet"
"Good title"
Masterful.
I love how everyone is trying to figure him out
6:26 when I watched this live, I burst out laughing he just mugs her off and she doesn't even realise. He walks her into that final line so well. Had everyone else on strings the whole interview.
James is too clever for Gemma Collins. She hasn't got a clue what's going on
Scott Mackenzie a sloth with a traumatic brain injury is sharper than Gemma Collins
@@Forestgravy90 haha true!
The fat one? I thought must be a mum off one of the soaps. But then she mentioned doing a single with somebody connected with Beyonce?
In fairness to her, she did warn us about tune she is about to make with the producer she name dropped. It's very kind of her to give us the heads up so we can ignore it!!
She is from a reality tv show I think. Mid winter in the Arctic Cicle is brighter than her! @@jackjude

You are too sensitive. The other guests did nothing wrong. They listened and James was his usual droll self.
@@argieav Maybe you should go sit with the boring fucks yourself then.
@@mrwriter86 Who hurt you?
Dunno about that... did you watch this one? ua-cam.com/video/tGp4qGNvb24/v-deo.html
I saw no awkwardness. You sir, are wrong.
'Got hammered on my own. I was watching Queer Eye and getting drunk.' is the funniest look into his life ever
Not one ‘r’ sound was said correctly during that whole interview 😂😂
He said Hammered with a correct r sound
@@TheArrivalCyberse It doesn't work like that 😂
@@TheatreNerd7 okay?
Is that really a Kette-ing thing, Undertale Reacts?
I was wondering whether some local dialects in the UK could have features of rhotacism.

James Acaster is one of the funniest people I've ever been blessed to witness.
"I can't tell you yet"
Lightning fast "Great name"
Brilliant, i`ll click everything with James Acaster in the title.
“I never knew you were such an ignorant host”. Fucking fell off my chair mate.
why would you get all these boring people to be on with acaster??????????
Some of them are interesting in different ways
So he bring up the IQ
Honestly, I preferred that he was the only interesting one there. This resulted in more focus on Acaster. He was dynamite in this short interview. I feel like he even knew that the others wouldn't be too good to bounce off of, so he got that turtleneck to have more material.
They were just smart enough to realise James is the biggest mofo on the stage so they just shut the fuck up until spoken too unlike yourself
What I love about this is that everything he says is true! None of this is made up...
James in a turtleneck OOF
The fact he was on the same talk show as Gemma Collins is an insult to the world of comedy

What's a Gemma Collins?

I love how nobody on that couch knows how to take him, it's hilarious to watch. Glad James didn't feel pressured enough to change his style
absolute hero of mine
Frank Oceans Blonde came out in 2016 so I mean...
MrAtomicHero - and it’s 2019 & we’re still waiting for another
Finished watching Repertoire again. My 3rd time all the way through and still came here for more. That's like 12 hours of his stand up. Brilliant, brilliant stuff. Incredible really.
Dude's funny --- love his set on Conan --- flawless delivery, perfect timing and economy of words with off-the-wall insight.
This guy cracks me up. I knew he was something special after watching Repertoire, nice to see him keep popping up.
I see 'James Acaster'... I click play.
I'd love to see James Acaster meet with Karl Pilkington.
Now that gets comment of the week.
You could make a whole sit com with those two.
No need for scripts, just a camera following them around
"Perfect Sound Whatever" is a track by Jeff Rosenstock, released in 2016.
Is it really?
I looked it up, it is 100% true.
@@Surv1ve_Thrive Yes indeed.
"good title"
bloody genius
People with personalities like his are most of the reason I enjoy life like they just always make you laugh it’s amazing.
At least the audience appreciated James
James acaster is well up there with my favourite comedians. He's in my top 10 alongside Jon richardson, joe lycett and Chris addison.
daaaaamn that girl next to james was really giving james the look. always remember dudes, being funny is one of the hottest things
That girl is supermodel Naomi Campbell. She would probably eat him alive!
But I totally agree with you about funny being attractive.
"And this kid... he's an adult now. They do that" :'-D
Beginning to love James Acaster more and more.
This guy is brilliant !
Can’t wait to see him on his tour
The best thing about UA-cam is it makes this sort of thing accessible to us in the States.
Did James hurt Harry Redknapp in some way? Or is Harry just filled with an overarching sadness?
Nx Doyle
1) I love your avatar - premium-era Pixies
2) I think Barnes gets him after a while, which makes me happy. Redknapp’s an old fella who’s struggling to keep up.
Such an original chap
Never thought i'd see Redknapp on the same couch as James Acaster, what a world.
Such an interesting collection of guests on the couch. They really want to get those Naomi Campbell reaction shots.
I'm going to see the tour in Cornwall can't believe its the only place he's doing two shows
Literally in love with James, thank you for uploading it!
Such a legend. doesn't miss a beat
He's so wasted on these lot taking themselves to seriously. Love him so much hahaha
Easily the best British comic on the scene at the minute, by a mile. Only Mickey Flanagan can challenge him. His comedy is so clever and his Wit is razor sharp.
“I can’t tell you yet”
“That’s a good title”
😂😂😂
Love him
This guy makes me laugh so hard man. Some fresh UK talent man.
Currently my favorite standup out there.
Harry Redknapp at the end is thinking, "Do what? He's not funny. He sounds just like some of the pillocks round my way. Muppet".
James is just plain funny and id pay him to let me be his PA. I just wanna hand out all day laughing 😂
“Well I didn’t have you down as such an ignorant host” 😂😂😂
Naomi's weave is looking fierce...
And she's still prettier than you.
Good title!
This nearly brought me to tears
He is fantastic!
His show cold lasagna hate myself was so ridiculously funny.
One of the best

He's drier than the Gobi Desert! Love him.
“They do that…” 😂😂😂
I demand more James acaster!!!
He doesn’t give a shite
5:50 had me dying
Just being himself not paying attention to where he is. Legend.
Acaster was good. But the format off the show is terrible. No wonder tv is going down the pan. Private Parts podcast is much better.
@6:14 that is the funniest convo I've seen in ages!!!
The best host show interview ever.
I love James too much I’m sorry!
I removed the comment because of the other person not you, don't worry!

@@TJH9876 No worries! They must've been suffering from a recent cabbaging
@Just an Acaster Fan I think we got to cut the guy some slack, I think he was from the SW5 area... a very scary gang I must say

If you get that I love you
Amazing
I love him so much
Gemma: “This is gonna impress you”
Everyone: never been less impressed
aww, i was going to add this to my favorites, and it was already in my favorites. I guess I'll double favorite, just like that lasagna, better the second time.
What a legend.
James RULES!
"and he isn't happy about it" lolol
Imagine Jonathon Ross implied James Acaster is less famous than Gemma Collins😭
He’s absolutely amazing!
Jack Montgomery Did you watch a different show?
Sounds like you watched a documentary on the life of Jack Montgomery.
Your Mom ..Totally brilliant...😂😂😂😂😂
I fucking love James Acaster
I can't see Harry Redknapp having much time for James. Imagine Harry trying to coach him. haha
Going to his book singing in August, can’t wait hahaha!
this guy is a legend
Love this guy
Maybe the other people weren’t boring, they were just admiring how funny and goofy he is
He's like 1000 years ahead of them in whit he's so clever girl beside him is loving the confidence haha
- no i think naomi campbell is smiling to seem polite and less awkward. get he impression she’s got no idea what he’s going on about
Eden Judkins Whos this ‘Naomi Campbell’ ?
Jamie B - very famous british model. she’s a huge bitch but guess it’s part of her imagine now
James has been around for a couple of years, and all of sudden he's popping up everywhere.
