Alan Cumming Tells a Hilarious Story about Kristin Chenoweth and a Basket of Muffins 

Previously not familiar but am now a totally agreeing fan!

Love that he's from Scotland and Abercrombie runs through my blood thanks to mom!!

Yes! I’m also passionate about language accuracy😅

burglary is when no one is present? right? robbery is taking something from a person?

buuuuurrrrrglllled

i prefer burglurd.

Now y'all got me thinking about Ronald's nemesis, the Hamburgler!

He disappears into every roll if you're not looking for him you don't always recognize him expecially when he hides his accent. Dude was freaking nightcrawler. NIGHTCRAWLER

He's my favorite! Check him out in The Anniversary Party if you can find it.

I was just going to post the same comment, then I saw yours. It’s a wonderful book.

@@andyjulia I'm a huge fan of the Frinckazoid.

Agree. Wonderful book!

The only autobiography I've ever listened to, I couldn't stop! As if I didn't love him enough before❤️❤️❤️

@@joanneweiss3864 My feeling precisely. I've listened to it twice now.

Right?! From the very begining he came on & did a song from Cabaret. The best. Also love his story about the Carlyle

He Is a Beutiful Human 💫

Have you?

@@gratefulslug1390 Yes, multiple times. One time, I was at his bar in the East Village and he hosted a Tony Awards party for all the patrons and he bought pizza for us all and gave away prizes in a trivia game and we were all gloriously drunk.

@@AtWordsPoetic lol that's awesome!

It’s probably because most actors can’t do, or butcher the Scottish accent. Not that I blame them. It’s a hard accent to learn.

Sean Connery never dropped his accent. He played a captain on a Russian submarine with a Scottish accent.

@@bostonblackie9503 I saw him in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Harrison Ford put on a Scottish accent when he was trying to get into a castle too (delivering tapestries). It was a pretty funny scene. Great movie too.

@@bostonblackie9503 that’s because Sean Connery is Scottish 😂👍. He’s from Edinburgh.

@@Raven1303x I guess you missed the Russian submarine part of that comment, lol.

You've got to be kidding!!

Dr Ari Chand you don't have to be a great interviewer when you've got Alan Cumming as a guest to be fair.

One of the best interviewees!

Haha I meant interviewees!

I loved Pushing Daises!! Such an underrated show.

Was she in Pushing Dasies? I so wanted to watch it when it first came out but could never find a way to watch it. If she's in it it's time to try a bit harder to find it

Pushing Daisies was a GREAT GREAT SHOW

@@barryreinitz7331 It was! My wife didn't really like it but then we watched "Halt and Catch Fire" that Lee Pace was in and she really liked that so she gave "Pushing Daises" another chance and enjoyed it.

She was also great in The West Wing. I have always followed her career since then. So talented.

Agreed, especially if someone else sends a bouquet of whisky...

@@AshleyVN Lmasssso

Way to totally miss the point. She obviously didn't know she was dead, derp.

@@taylordani11 wait. Help me out. Who missed the point?

@@robingarrett3171 Tracie Irene missed it by ignoring the humor of the misunderstanding. It goes without saying that muffins are a good gift.

@@TheLieselMD I was pulling another reindeer's antlers out of a fence... and she just came up behind me, and yoinked it from my back pocket. I got part of it back, but most of it was.. um.. unrecoverable. My fault for having it on me that day, really. 🤷‍♂️

@@NewMessage I love this whole story so much!

That was Blitzen. Santa put him up to it. He deals in stolen passports for his illegal alien elves.

This made my day 🦌

I can't compete with the reindeer story, but I once had my passport stolen on holiday in France, and decided just to chance it on returning to Dover. At the desk I started to explain to the guy what had happened, and he was like, mate, you can't be a fake with an accent like that, on you go. I'm from Glasgow.

In think he should be a "Bond" villian.

I looked for strange music but only found strange magic

I'm sure it just slipped his mind:)

Kind of! Burglary specifically refers to your things being stolen while no one is there. Your car could be burgled for instance. Robbed means that you are present, your house is robbed if you are there. If you're mugged on the street you were robbed because you were present. It sounds nitpick but it's a BIG legal difference because the thief potentially threatened your life during a robbery whereas a burglary isn't a direct threat to your person

You are both wrong. Burgled means stealing from someone without the use of violence and robbing someone includes the use or threat of violence. Doesn't matter where it happens or who is there. Someone can burglerize your home even if you are home if they steal from you without coming into contact with you.

So the Ham Burglar steals your cold dead hamburgers when you're not home, rather than from your hands like a Ham Robber?

This is a good discussion! I looked up on several sources, and here are the definitions: - Theft: when someone intentionally takes and carries away, uses, transfers, conceals, or retains possession of movable property of another without the other’s consent and with intent to deprive the owner permanently of possession of such property. - Burglary: when someone intentionally unlawfully enters a building, structure or vehicle without the consent of the person in lawful possession and with intent to steal or commit a crime including, but not limited to, theft. - Robbery: when someone takes property from the person or presence of the owner by either using force or by threatening the imminent use of force. So burglary means you illegally entered a building/vehicle to commit a crime, whether or not a person was there. Robbery means you stole something using or threatening force against a person. And theft is the generic umbrella term for illegally taking possessions.

@@oneworld2233 O! EM! _GEE!!!_ The www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/burglary#faqs section has the most _hilariously_ sounding words that I have GOT to bring back into parlance somehow: Other Words from _burglary_ burglarious \ ˌbər-​ˈgler-​ē-​əs \ _adjective_ burglariously _adverb_

also we want them, it's just our feds stuffing it up

40% I don’t think so.

@@MrTaylor1964 you are right - 30% (my apologies). Admittedly that is first doses, but note that the advice for optimum potency is to delay 2nd dose until a full 12 weeks and this has inhibited the Australian full vaccination rate over other countries with more urgent problems. UK has shortened interval to as little as 4 weeks.

I’m a Canadian doctor working in Melbourne Australia, they did stuff it up a bit at the beginning particularly with regard to the role out with GP clinics, but they seem to have gotten their act together now and it’s going much smoother

So good. With young Liv Tyler

@@samanthab1923 For me she will always be ''young Liv Tyler" Stealing Beauty was absolutely magic!

black bird Absolutely! Classic beauty. Just watched a tour of her old East Village TH on AG. Sold the NYC place, living in London now. Didn't know her at the time but Mrs. James Bond was in Stealing Beauty as well.

@@samanthab1923 Jeremy Irons, and the entire European cast whom we see in smaller films but rarely in the US on the big screen just hit a home run with that one. I spent half a year in Italy and that scenery just brought me back.

black bird You're very lucky, have not been to Italy yet. Found Jeremy Irons in Brideshead & always enjoy him. Have a great weekend 😊

You’ve got a lovely name.

Only when there have been multiple buggerings...

@@AshleyVN as a gay man in lockdown in Australia I’d take a good multiple buggering in a heartbeat lmao 🤣

I’m shocked by his accent EVERY time. I don’t know why I never learn lol

So do I!!! I will sometimes almost remember but I still mess up and think he’s British 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Not just Scottish VERY Scottish 😶 I've never heard his actual voice before and I'm trippin 😅 he's awesome

@@tesssully4250 No, he's not VERY Scottish. You can still understand him.

@@johnburnside7828 😂😂 Good one!

Yes, exactly the musical "era" they are trying to reproduce. I remember listening to my mother's vinyl records of South Pacific, Oklahoma, The King and I, several others. Such wonderful memories.

What does that even mean? Also, how much time do you spend sniffing people and why?

It's "burgled". 'I was burgled. He/She/They were burgled. You were burgled.'

Nope... your "I' and your "They" examples are the same structure. The real difference is: You were burgled in Scotland and burglarized in the US.

@@samcroft7084 Or, 'Alan got it right'. 😁

Fake?

Dude it's his real accent lmao

Now that I know of it, I will have to borrow from the Library. Also other movies as well as the books he has authored. 🤓

Americans talk this way seeming to forget 600k of them died before they all got vaccines...

I hope they aren’t funeral muffins?

@@barbarajoseph-adam8337 no they were gluten free muffins

@@barbarajoseph-adam8337 if Kristen Chenowith sent me funeral muffins I would gladly eat them!

@@vamanosninja4143 Oh, that’s good. I’ve lost so many people this pandemic - family, friends, employees... my brain just went straight there.

@@barbarajoseph-adam8337 I'm sorry to hear that

haha yes 😄
