GANDALF THE GRAHAM | Best of LOTR on The Graham Norton Show 

Luv AI I cried and i laughed....at the same time..

The jacuzzi part... he was so good at improv using his surroundings.

God he was brilliant

i know i came here for lotr and i got a dose of Robin too. The feels.

So heartbreaking still to this day.

I wonder if either of them ever get tired of doing the voice. 🤔

I feel bad for him. Every show he goes on he is asked to do the same thing.

@@MausOfTheHouse I think hes having fun doing the character. 😆

@@detectivemarkseven Doesn't look like it.

@@MausOfTheHouse He knows he has these amazing skills and it pays a lot of bills! I think he's pretty pleased to do it :)

Curious

Roman Fominykh hahaha

Damn, that’s a good catch :3

I'm worried too. It's a powerful item.

The power is determined by the wielder. That's why Hobbits make good ring bearers, they don't have much power to be corrupted by. Makes sense that he kept it

Yeah agreed 😂

+

Oh what a great throught. I completely agree!

Genius!!!

Robin Williams will always be Tom Bombadil in my mind, just like David Bowie will always be Elrond (sorry Hugo Weaving, you're brilliant but...yeah).

0:51 love his face 😂😂 adorable “gRaHaM” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

omg you're right! Good catch.

He’s still so cute 😍

The fact that he says Graham (almost) properly ❤️🥰🇬🇧

@@ilovenycsomuch He sounds like a kid reasoning his parents.

I'm sure he won't mind considering that was the his "breakthrough" role and has gotten him a number of highly paid jobs!

At least he has a good sense of humour about the whole thing though

He is already recognised for many voices

Dina Miles Also Supreme Leader Snoke from Star Wars

On demand, precious? We hates them. We can’t escape it, precious.

Joshua Price lol me too, he's great! :D

Joshua Price same

He looks like Gollum too

Hes the CGI-model for gollum. When he first auditioned for the voice, the casters where so impressed by his facial impressions that they hired him as such.

His version of Gollum is nearly priceless, prescious.

Its okay, Robin had his back!

Yea. Froto ought to know lol

I scrolled down find someone reference this. The Graham reprimand and then glance at camera. Adorable.

+kumika123 That's because Robin Williams was a massive geek himself! He named his daughter after Zelda, so while his softer spot was for videogames, he clearly liked that fantasy epic style of storytelling in general (which is what those games attempted to emulate).

@@andrewsparkes8829 He played tabletop wargaming too, his daughter recently was posting photos of his miniatures trying to identify some.

Very similar to some of his answers to the "Would Elijah Wood...?" game on a different talk show... XD XD XD XD

they certainly are some of the best. they just masterfully crafted the world and the cast was so damn amazing on screen and off.

Not as good as the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

Let’s hope they don’t decide to ruin Lotr the way they ruined Star Wars

*cough cough* The Hobbit movies *cough*

AuzzieArtyst the hobbit movie were good though

Famous last words I guess.

You forgot the ne ne ne

Honestly though.. who else would say it?

God bless.

The way he said it tho! Perfect comedic timing 🙏🏻💖

That killed me

razzle matazzle I love your profile picture and name

@@supplyingtheswag2814 I love yours too mate

@@monkeybusiness4929 thanks

@@monkeybusiness4929 heyyy love your username 😉✨

Except when that classroom didnt watch these movies or dont understand it :/

Lmao😂🤣

"Well that's that then I guess" *Leaves Exam Hall*

I will simply drop out that very moment... 😂😂

@@karthiksubramanian2279 🤣

only time I've ever disliked graham for a moment

LET HIM LIVE HIS DREAM!!!

You can visit it

Lisa-Maree never before were students so happy that they will not pass 😃

that was epic! omg!

Well he did die on the bridge.

Still LMFAO

Lisa-Maree I got sooooo excited!!!!

He will always stay in our hearts!

mirrormimi 😂

mirrormimi lovely!

thank you for this, i was feeling sad when i saw him on the couch with elijah and then your comment made it all better .. Robin Williams :)

I really miss Robin

Frodo technically never dropped the gold, haha

Anish Gole he IS Gollum/Smeagol

Manuel Matos yeah I know, I couldn't remember his name, it's Andy I guess.

Andy Serkis

Lol "those kids" like you live under a rock. They're fans would riot over that comment!

Squiggly P I think he was talking about the kids out the window of the school office.

Tommygunengineer he’s amazing

@@AGirlWithoutAName and u too

But if it was Christopher Lee it’d be like... Saruman’s voice: So you have chosen death. 😂😑

sitting in my living room by myself and started applauding :) Sir Ian is a national treasure :)

jess panic lol yeah. That's why he is legendary

Well, he is homosexual in reality so it fits

Octavio Chevere are you serious

Jack Rox yes it is true. Sir Ian is homosexual.

He was also sitting next to Harry Styles.

You can just hear it when he says that it was just he and the mates and that the "armies" weren't there. Don't quote me on this but heard somewhere that he started crying on set because of it.

@@TheUglyFish it was on the *The Hobbit Appendices* he cried because of he found performing in front of a greenscreen in complete isolation for the first Hobbit film. He felt pretty miserable during that time that he thought perhaps, it was the time for him to stop acting altogether if he can't cope with these difficulties.

He does?

@@Jorvas25 I believe it considering Robert Pattinson said the same thing about the Twilight films😂he hates the Twilight series more than anyone lmao

@@caitlynpederson7218 I would not blame Pattinson in that case. 🤣🤣 But Ian's I find a tad strange although I could understand if its the case, I mean Gandalf was a cool character, imo obviously. But I could understand.

superstarjonesbros I am meeting him at my school

@@emmapalmer3986 How was it?

Viggo, maybe. "A day might come when the students will stop doing their homework but this is not this day."

Yes! R.i.p dear Robin amazing guy

remember watching flubber, one of my earliest memories,. what a true icon, heartbreaking but what a legacy

annette fournier That video with the kids made me so happy

Cheeky breeki?

Him and his pal Bryan Singer, proper cheeky guys ;)

Same

Americans, eh? Europeans don't tend to get their foreskins sliced off for no good medical reason...

@@danielaf1487 it’s a Jewish thing lol, not exclusive to America

Robin Williams an absolute genius and master

Robin is not very gracious

@@danielaf1487 my friend it’s a religious thing but regardless, it’s a joke…

An Pham And i love Graham Norton and he got this one wrong 😔

I love how strong Graham’s opinions are. It’s way better than laughing at EVERYTHING like Kimmel and Fallon

My thoughts exactly! "How dare you!" 😁😁

It is real you can visit it near Matamata

Why would I lie?

he truly is

Ikr he's gorgeous

BIG BLUU

I find them quite unnerving, actually. Too big, too blue!

I don't think you wanna see him now

Oliver Klint i see you like dark humor.....I like you

The Joker same

This would be extra creepy if this was from 2017 like it says in the upload description.

wasn't prepared to see him :'(

It was perfect

It actually looked like he was contemplating saying that on TV for millions to watch XD he is absolutely hilarious

I really hope Aidan Turner didn't actually do what Martin Freeman dared him to do.

@@katiedi5159 the way he told it here seems like he just asked it as a "would you rather" question as opposed to an actual dare

Always makes me sad when I see him :/

Joshua Westover he was such a beautiful mind :(

Existential Kyleigh O captain! My captain! 😢

Existential Kyleigh *hobbiton

lisbeth young whoops 😬 sorry I don't pay attention to the landmarks I pay attention to the actors performances and how well the script is written

As much as I love elves (Legolas was one of my teens crush...and well...now I could die for Thranduil) I'll never say such things to the actors...it sounds so creepy 🥺

But you did pass......stools

Sarah Van Orden LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO LEGIT FACT ID WALK OUT THE CLASSROOM

Kay B You really think he did The Hobbit justice? I'm still confused about how horrible those movies were. I mean LOTR was so amazing!!... I don't understand what happened :(

xDream Catcherx The first two movies were pretty good, but the last one was not. I think it's because they filmed all three films in two/two and a half years. I remember hearing Peter Jackson say that he didn't want to do the hobbit based off of how long it would take, and then with some director complications for the new films, he took over. They rushed the films and that's why they aren't as great.

I think PJ said that he only a year before the first movie was scheduled to release, most of the production was on Guillermo del Toro's part, not him. And they decided to stretch the movie into 3 parts, making more $$$ instead of making it as good as the LotR. Then again, Hobbits is a kid's book, so they make it more cheesy while had to bring some 'intense' part because of the success of the LotR.

Ndoelicious That makes loads of sense because he has such passion for the story and such loyalty to the books and the lore, and it tranalates to the screen in LOTR. While The Hobbit on screen just looks like a joke and is very disloyal to the book. So if he wasn't involved as much or didn't have as much creative control that makes tons of sense to me and it's obvious in the films.

I am still baffled how he turned a 300 page book into a trilogy where each movie is about 2 1/2 hours long.

🤧

Rip. Went so quickly.

Kaloyan Tashev that's so sad:(

:(

Kaloyan Tashev oh it's been 3 years??!!! It still feels so much more recent

My mans entered one of them for sure

Aye if you like bland dead eyed music for donkeys. Nothing Iconic about a manufacturered pop group with no hits or redeeming album. Lol Iconic.

@@jallakka7149 damn u must be one of those old people who just hate on younger generations

@@jallakka7149 but to be fair it happens to everyone

I was looking for that comment haha

Whenever Ian starts screaming his voice goes from good old grandpa to Gandalf in an instant

Agreed!

And Star Wars!

LOTR is truly special

Middle-earth is a truly special place.

I'm someone who has grown up absolutely adoring the Harry Potter books, but those movies are straight trash, yo.

Ian actually starting crying on set during the filming of the Hobbit, because it was just him acting alone in a room full of green screens. I absolutely love him and found that pretty sad.

Tom Laveign oh mein gott nooo :( I saw the time he got asleep but this one? Where do you read it?

There was a plot?

@@SweetParadise68 no, thats not ian. That was Christopher Lee who played Saruman.

You are the sweetest person on the planet!

F

🤣😂😂

It’s one of the most bizarre pairings ever hahah but it seems to somehow work.

Wait srsly, I didn’t realize that was them!

what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that? You do realise that One Direction and Ian McKellen liked each other.

ian mckellen is literally wearing a one direction shirt

Because unlike you Ian McKellen is open to all types of people, they actually created a great relationship on the sofa. Don't get why two completely different types of entertainers always have to be compared, it's incredibly childish.

Roberto Andrade I miss him laugh 😢

He is. He's fun and they are clearly at ease with him.

James Bethell "do not speak to me of radagast the brown, he is a foolish fellow"

Radagast was casted perfectly

Because Radagast doesnt exist in the Hobbit Book. :D

Yes but he's in the fellowship....and now when i re read i picture the man in the hobbit trio...I've read all the books

he would've been perfect as tom bombadil though

lucky you - I was only a few months old when it came out! :/

@@fanfictionandthings784 2005 gang

Viggo is the kind of guy who moves on and doesn't look back.

The guy is so mature, it feels like he's hundreds of years old.

He's one of a kind.
