The entire GN episode with Miriam, will.i.am, and Greg Davies was brilliant! There was a great rapport between all three of them throughout, each sharing humorous stories. And by the end of the episode, will.i.am was sitting with his arm around Miriam in companionship, and you can see how much they bonded on that couch. Two people from incredibly different backgrounds who really established a human connection. It is my absolute favorite!
Two of my favorite stories of hers: 1. Describing how she discovered that a vacation rental home she owned was being used to store drugs, and how she was being called “Miriam Escobar” in the comments on the article about it. 2. Getting arrested after insulting a police officer giving her a parking ticket, and getting subsequently cavity searched during booking.
She has no filter. She's just too funny. You get to an age when you can say exactly what you want. My mother in law is 92, in perfect health and she got rid of her filter a long time ago! Miriam was in Harry Potter.. you may know her from that. She's hysterical.
English telly is very similar to Aussie telly, maybe a bit more out there & open. Swearing, no matter the word whether 6am or 12pm is something we hardly notice. With the Aussie, Pommy, Kiwi sense of humour being pretty much the same & we get each other. Watching the American guests on the show with Miriam is hilarious as she can make them feel very uneasy very easily all just for a great laugh. Who doesn't love Miriam..
Miriam made a program about young people with life limiting illness. Her programme featured the son of someone I work with. He has since passed and that programme was wild. She never talked to him in a sad way. His mom laughed at the banter between them.
lol The shock on your face! I thought I had accidentally paused the video after the clips were over. Really enjoyed your reactions, and I'm a fan of Miriam Margolyes's antics.
Jamal, I believe we all hoped you'd enjoy Miriam Margolyes on Graham Norton. Your reaction is 'spot-on'. 👏Miriam can be relied on to say what she thinks. However, she's not 'snarky' about people for a laugh (like some other comedians and celebrities); she always has reasons. The Will.i.am episode _is_ wonderful. Apparently Will.i.am and Miriam became friends. You did a Great Job getting this released. 👍 Best Wishes. ☮
Miriam is hysterical! SHe has no constraints and no one seems to mind. I certainly don't. Loved some of your facial reactions to Miriam. Never know what she will say, but her voice is so lovely when she speaks that it's hard to mind what she says. Graham has a great show.
She described how there was a swear jar on set where she had to put a pound in every time she swore, and it was set to be donated to something like the World Wildlife Fund. She said they [the charity] did very well that day.
Aren't you pleased you watched her clips on Graham Norton..I just love Miriam so much, she is so funny but in a straight faced way.. your face was a picture though while you were watching her, like you were thinking "did I just hear what I thought I heard"..she is such a treasure and we Brits are glad to have her..😂🤣😂🤣
This is without doubt my absolute favorite reaction video I've ever seen, thank you Jamal for doing this! I'm a broken mess of tears, snot and sides hurting from laughter, this was just so darn funny to watch! Having seen the compilation before and knowing what was coming up so I could follow your reactions made it perfect to watch! Thank you Jamal for this amazing time, take care and stay safe!
I have seen the whole Will.i.am interview. At the start of the show, Will.i.am is looking at Mariam as if she is crazy and isn't quite sure what to make of this older, crazy, white woman. His whole body language is slightly guarded and he is leaning away from her. By the end of the show, they have their arms around each other and are just loving each other's company. I just think it is a great representation of being open to new people and to not judge them right off the bat. It is also hilarious! If you have the time, watch it.
I love The Graham Norton show, he's truly the only one who learned from Johnny Carson and expanded on it. Miriam Margolis is freaking hysterical. I have an entire playlist of her on that show just for when I need to laugh or I need a brain diversion. I'm so glad you got to see these.
I was laughing throughout, but the "one for each foot" comment absolutely killed me. The world would be a better place if more people were as open and honest as her.
I watched this over 3 days. I want to watch Harry Potter again just to see her. Oh man her stories are hilarious. I tell you, I want to hang out with her. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for posting this and I'm loving all the Graham Norton clips, it's such a great show.
Yay! You finally got to see the Magnificent Miriam Margolyes! She'll have you scratching your head, asking yourself "did she really just say that?", and bowling over with laughter... simply by being Miriam. No filter. No need. She's one of a kind, frank, and, most importantly, fearless. I don't care with which race you identify ...she'll make you blush a wee bit.
She is a treasure to the world.🥰 I've always remembered the 1980's army commercial that said "If your life was a book, would anybody want to read it". That sticks with me still to today.
So funny when she told Adam Lambert he shouldn't say that word anymore because it's not becoming and then tells the story about the soldier in the tree. Adam says and you tell me not to say "sh*t"!
Miriam has been in a lot of films, TV and theatre in different parts of the world, and she really has no filter, what you see is what you get, just take a look on her social media
The look on your face when she said about "creaming" her knickers when she saw/met/got Sir Laurence Olivier's autograph was priceless. This lady is HILARIOUS! Like you, she IS VERY FAMILIAR, however I can't remember where I've seen her. She's great! 😁🤣😆❤🌸👍!!!!
I have been waiting for this one. I love the way Miriam says what she thinks and feelings be damned. I wish American shows were this good. British television has such good shows such as The Big Fat Quiz Of (pick a year or decade), QI, Inspector Morse (that's an old one), 9 out of 10 cats, Only Fools and Horses (another old one) and a really old one Dad's Army.
Miriam is just an English treasure with a potty mouth, need to watch her stories in this show as well Greg who is the tall guy his stories about being a teacher are hilarious
You probably saw her as Professor Sprout in Harry Potter. That's all I knew when I found her on this show, and I wondered how she Ever got in a kids movie!
She is a treasure and must be protected at all costs. She's one of the funniest people and I am so glad she doesn't have a filter and apparently never really did have one which is awesome. I still have a filter but I hope as I get older I'll lose mine, it is slowly going though. LOL 😎👍
It was so funny watching the different shapes your eyebrows made while watching her! That was as entertaining as her humor! Thank you for reacting to her. I watch a lot of Graham Norton compilations on YT too. Thanks again, Brenda
What I love about Graham Norton (one of many things) is that he is awesome at letting guests speak without interrupting them. American late night hosts constantly interrupt and fake laugh.
I’ve seen these clips dozens of times and she still makes me laugh, particularly the reactions of other guests. Your expressions were hilarious. Miriam is one of a kind 😂 Greg Davies that was with her in a couple of clips is really funny too, the one with him and Ryan Gosling and Jodie Foster about when he was a teacher us hilarious, they are laughing so hard at his story. You need to see it.
It's always great to have a mix of Brits and Americans on the show, esp. when someone like Miriam is on. Americans are always o shocked at what you're allowed to say on UK TV. :D
First of all, I could watch Graham Norton for HOURS! It cracks me up every single time. 🤣 Miriam Margolyes is side splitting even when she has no idea she is. There is an episode when she tells Daniel Radcliffe that she is happy his balls have dropped since playing Harry Potter, I almost peed myself. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please, please watch that one! Also, you have to watch the episode with Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart when Patrick is talking about whether or not he is circumcised. I 🤣 just thinking about it.
