John Bishop's Ex Wife Accidently Heard A Joke About Her Head | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross 

Me 2.....!

Thats what makes a star ' A STAR !!!

Easily known he has Irish blood in his veins.

Didn't he say exactly that ?

Yeah. That's what was said in this program.

Very funny !! Seems a very likeable guy. Often see him on tv. Graham Norton show which can be very good show

If you listen to the clip he describes it and at one gig his wife was in the audience and they had a chat , later went to relate and decided to get back together. ...

That’s what he said

Sometimes you have to follow your own mind. 😊 Bad times for your "friends"

Yes, that was a real eye-opener !! 💗

Youre prob not from the south, they talk slow cos they think slow, actual experince​@joysynmonds9082

Absolutely. Such a surprising dedication.

I'm an average American, and he isn't hard to understand at all. I watch British dramas and comedies and QI, WILTY, and Taskmaster.

Yes he's an accent but not difficult to understand. We all have accents don't we.

That was money down the Sh*tter then..wasn't it???

wow,so you hate him now then? you used past tense

@@richardarmed4847 why?

@@boredweegie553 Why what?

Seems a good guy

He is gorgeous.

Totally.

The Scouse Muppet isn't as good looking as me. The Manc Marlon Brando.

@@anthonymcadams8313 tosser

Agreed

I've seen him on some TV-show and thought "yeah, he's ok...", but this made me search for full stand-ups - he is great, and the accent fits great for a comedian.👍

Read his book, you will laugh all the way through, even the sad bits he makes funny

I agree . A chance to shine

About as funny as lung cancer! He's lucky to get any WIIIIIRRRRKKKKK!!

They didn't divorce. Still together.

🤮🤮🤮

Not all of us.

john bishops a wool 😂😂😂

You know how Boris cultivated the scruffy buffoon charade …….John Bishop is the same nobody is that scouse

🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'll pay as well

&?

Try Adam Rowe. Scarily real.

The Wheat Fields. Are you serious? What a patronising ( and wrong) attitude. You think that all people born and raised in rough areas of the country, who have the local accent they had growing up, could not possibly go to University, or do well getting a good job?. That they are all destined to become failures with " no prospects". How bigoted. There are many people all over the country who are successful and have strong regional accents, many came from rough poverty stricken backgrounds . Instead of applauding them you'd like to cast doubt on their true origins. Get out of here!!!!!!

What’s confusing? It’s an accent that he pulls off well. Nobody cares whether it’s genuine or not.

Rubbish. I'm from Liverpool, have a degree, my family have degrees, and nobody curbs their accent. Ours isn't Central or North Liverpool, however, you have the accent from the area you come from, unless you've deliberately changed it. I've heard plenty of lecturers in uni with a thick Scouse accent. Can't get more intelligent than that.

I’m guessing you were one of the 7 in the audience that night were you? Hmmm

Exaggerated? Think that's just his accent.

Why are you watching?

@@sandragriffiths9692 How do YOU form opinions without watching things? That's like saying you don't like a particular food without ever trying it!

@@richardarmed4847 True

Zac Martin. WHAT are you talking about. The Frank Spencer character was daft, weak and a bit pathetic. Everything that John Bishop is not. He's so well known now for his straight talking, charismatic Liverpudlian personlity. Who on earth would want to watch him playing a dithering idiot. Stupidest idea EVER.

@@janiceal-najjar5093 it's called "acting". You don't actually need to naturally possess the characteristics or attributes of the person you are portraying, just the skill and talent to make the audience believe that you do. You do realise that Michael Crawford was not like Frank Crawford in real life??

@@eyeswideopen2043 Michael Crawford is very softly spoken in real life, and was naturally very slight and weak looking. He was also a professional actor and put on a slightly effeminate accent for the "oooh Betty" line. John Bishop on the other hand is no actor ( despite having had a go at it) speaks with a very harsh tone in a broad Scouse accent in real life, and it would be absolutely incongruous to hear him speak like the character portrayed by Michael Crawford. I cannot imagine anyone less suited to the role.🙄

@@janiceal-najjar5093 "Acting ", by its very nature, allows people to portray on screen, characters who are totally unlike themselves - and a wide variety of them. That's the whole point. Actors are able to modify their natural voice modulations for roles in the same way they do their accents when the role requires it - they often do this with the aid of a voice coach. Bishop, like many comedians, has very successfully made the move to acting, and neither his Liverpool accent nor the tone of his voice has held him back. Some would say that, having mastered comic timing, the Frank Spencer character would be an easy role for him. Notably, Michael Crawford was for many years - and before he ever acted in the West End - a comedian and comedic impersonator in UK.

@@eyeswideopen2043 In what lifetime was Michael Crawford ever a "comedic impersonator"? Whom did he impersonate? He started off in musical theatre very young, transitioned to be an actor and after many years he got the role of Frank Spencer initially for two years around 1973. Then one revival of the role around 1978 or so. Soon after he was cast in another soap playing a slovenly ruffian type, but because he was so synonymous with the weedy, accident prone Frank the public couldn't accept him in a different character role, so he left and returned to the stage. So that rather highlights my point about typecasting making it difficult to bring believability to a different role. Even for an experienced actor like Crawford. John Bishop could never pull off the particularly dithery ,weedy, accident prone character of Frank Spencer if an enormously experienced actor like Crawford couldn't do that very thing. After that he had a successful career in productions like Barnum and Phantom of the Opera. Where did you get " comedic impersonator" from? He used physical comedy similar to Chaplin and Lloyd. He admired them. But impersonator? Nah. As for John Bishop being a "successful actor" bit of an overstatement. Your point about his harsh Liverpudlian accent not holding him back really misses the entire point. Because its part of his persona even changing his voice to that of a dithering, simple,accident prone fool would never eradicate the public's perception of him. That would render him absolutely unbelievable in the part of Frank Spencer.

Translate to English 🤣🤣🤣

Dey do when Ken Dodd's Dad's dog's dead.

Eurovision is so crap, not even worth spending a single penny on that tripe much better things to spend it on.

He lived in Winsford because he played football for Winsford FC, he was never going to be good enough to play for LFC although he was from Liverpool

I don't care. It's funny.

Infected by Captain Jack. Sounds worrying. How did he infect him. Not from the behind I hope. 🤣

@@rmstitanic8163 LMAO!!

Who cares

@@Taffylassie Widnes is not Liverpool!!!!!

@@sandragriffiths9692 so why comment then? No one cares about your pointless comment!

🇳🇱🙂 I knew him..he lived in Runcorn(Murdishaw estate)he was a 'Kirby' salesman like me mate Dave..had to have 'the gift of the gab' selling the 'Kirby Cleaner'..it was an expensive 'hoover' that did all sorts of magical things..if U believed the 'american style sales patter'.!!😄👍

@@mrlister2000 I meant that most wouldn't care where he came from, that's all, especially women who think he is watchable and good looking no matter where he originated. It was not a dig at your comment.

you can say YOU don't find him funny but you can't say he isn't funny because to some people he is

@@wendyford5050 I have heard that argument before ,about comedy being subjective , and it is nonsense , in fact Ricky Gervais uses it in a routine . Trouble with it is we use the same system to decide what is right or wrong . good or bad guilty or innocent . So as I said he is not funny . Read all the comments and you will see a pattern ,Nice guy legend so good looking charismatic etc not so much about humour .

Just discovered Adam Rowe. There is a contender.

@@rolandhawken6628 well if that's your view so be it ...but I actually do find him funny ....I mean not in the way I find billy Cononley funny but they are both funny to me just in different ways

He’s Not funny, he’s just playing on his exaggerated Liverpool accent , just like paddy mcguiness ( I’m funny because I have a northern accent)

Not as funny as shit on ya shoe!

Millions would disagree,mi amigo.

@@Isleofskye Only if they're Scousers!

@@richardarmed4847 Anyone ever tell you’re in need of an attitude adjustment? Reasonable minds can differ. People must leave when they see you coming.

@@Grace-tc1lq Sorry to disappoint but, NO...no one has EVER told me that, and, actually...if you knew what I did for a living, you'd know why people gather when I enter! I'm guessing you're a scouser also! 🤣🖕

that's also why closed captions were invented 😉
