Stephen Graham Can’t Handle Alan Carr’s Geordie Accent | The Jonathan Ross Show 

Stephen Graham is one of my favourite actors he is brilliant in everything that he does.

Mr Graham is a ledge. He owns every character that he's given. And yes, he did say that his Jamaican grandfather passed before he died, but that makes him all the more amazing.

I had no idea Stephen Graham is a quarter Jamaican. Man that sheds his portrayal of Combo in This is England is a completely different light.

As a geordie, I've just belly laughed at that 🤣 🤣🤣 nothing like us and I'm shocked anyone could be worse at our accent than Jimmy Carr...but Alan Carr carries the crown now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What he does in THE IRISHMAN is nothing short of miraculous. Such a brilliant performer. ✌🏾🤟🏾

I love Stephen Graham. Hes class.

I saw Stephen Graham on TV as Al Capone in 'Boardwalk Empire' in about 2010. I recognised him but just assumed he'd been in something else American I'd watched. Years later I re-watched 'This Is England' on TV and then I remembered where I'd seen him - as Combo in that film. I thought he was a Yank, so his Al Capone accent must've been very good.

I absolutely adore 🥰 Stephen Graham!!

One of the greatest character actor's around.

Alan Carr's dad was chief scout at Newcastle United for many many years so you'd think Alan would be abl to do a better Geordie accent than that!

Dyslexic and has to have his lines read to him. Legend.

In fact Stephen Graham’s own accent is very distinguished and iconic as well as it is proper Scouse

Did he just say "he passed away before I died" 🤣🤣 last 5/ 10 seconds hahaha

JR: Presumably you grew up hearing that accent? SG: No, I didn't actually. Unfortunately he passed away before I'd had.

Did he just say: "Unfortunately, he passed away before I died"???

I'm half Irish and half geordie so there's no fockin hope understanding me 😂

There's a little Geordie lad Billy, he's 11 years old. He's moving to London because his dad's got a job there, so he's starting a new school. His dad says "Because you're a Geordie, some of these London lot will think you're not very clever.. but we know you are, go and show them!"... So he heads off to school, into History class, and they're talking about the Second World War... the teacher asks "What is propaganda?"... 🤔 Billy's hand shoots up straight away... 👋 teacher's surprised and goes with it... "Go on Geordie Billy, tell us what propaganda is"... bursting with confidence and pride he says... * wait for it * ... ... ... ... "It's when ya have a reeely good look at somefin mon .... ya tak a proper gander!" 😁

Did Stephen graham just say that his grandfather passed away before graham himself died? 😂😂😂😂

American here. I can tell where a person is from, almost to the very State they are from, (if raised there and lived there most of their lives) with about 75 percent accuracy. The far Western states and the Plain States are the hardest to guess accurately. The Southern States are easiest as I live in North Florida. I could never get the different British accents. They all sound lovely to me ❤.

Wow the cameras and the smiling famous people make it seem fun and meaningful!

Stephen Graham would be perfect for Wolverine

Before I died was Stephens comment. Sure he meant before I was born? Love Alan.

'Are you Novocastrian or Zoarastrian?'. 'Who me!' 'I'm Church of England' Mr Fahrenheit's mantra, - Anyway the wind blows Free Bad Company.

As a geordie av never heard that be for and I have be geordie all my live 😂

That fella was from west consan

Alan Carr, did he say something about Cullercoats?

He does a impressive impression liam gallagher

If you want to say bacon in Jamaican, just say beer-can. 😂

Why does everyone talk about Stephen Graham in Band of Brothers? He’s got one line and he gets wasted immediately. 😂

The Jamaican accent is actually highly influenced by the Scottish accent, similarly to how the deep south of the US is related to an older English accent. Hot humid air tends to slow speech patterns based on how sounds play to the ear. So the Scottish accent heavily morphed into the Jamaican one, with obvious African admixture as well. Not surprised a botched Geordie accent has vagaries of Jamaican. We are a lot more connected than we admit, and even the telling of history that tries to connect us has a way of erasing just the prevalence of those old connections.

Shoes with no socks. Will that Miami vice trend ever die?

Isn't the Geordie key phrase "rollecoaster, pooper scooper, Oompa Loompa, Kawasaki?" Or perhaps "Toblerone Rolo combo."

Did he say passed away before I died?

I’m from Wisconsin. I never thought I had an accent. I always thought British people speak with an accent. Or people from Boston or Brooklyn. But since they are the original English speakers, I guess they speak proper English and we’re the ones with the Accent. We also have a Southern accent that is distinct from the Northern. I really enjoy the Scouse Accent that the Beatles had. I also had a friend who’s father worked in Brooklyn as a Cop. And he had the best Brooklyn accent ever. It was strong like the Boston Accent. I could listen to him talk all day. I wished I had that accent but I couldn’t even copy it, it was so distinct and strong. I like accents because when I talk it just sounds so plain. Accents are more interesting sounding.

Past away before I died.

1:28 "he passed away before i died " - wait what

He passed away before i died 🤣🤣🤣😂

Alan was spot on

Alan sounded geordie

He sounds Jamaican 😂

Ellie's lips look ridiculous but I'm sure they come in handy.

Allan is funny

Alan Carrs dad is a Geordie.

Did anyone get SG's slip of the tongue right at the end (1:30) re the death of his father "Unfortunately he passed away before I died"!!!!.

Can someone help me transcribe what they were saying in Geordie?

He said that his dad passed away before he died ???????

When I hear real Gordies I swear to God it sounds Jamaican to me haha

Still no clue what Alan said

Stephen Graham Robert Carlyle Sean Bean Britain's greatest actors

There is some similarities between a Geordie and a Jamaican accent.

Jonathan pointing out Steven has Jamaican heritage before anyone gets offended

Haddaway n shite man that soonds nowt like geordie man! Neebody can taak geordie apart from geordies and that's a fact like!

Why would you speak in a Liverpool accent when you can do any others?

He is a fantastic actor! But his accents are not very good generally

Alan plays too much

Lol what geordie accent is that sounds more like bob marley

Did not understand a word of what Alan Carr was trying to say.

He might be good at American accents but his Welsh accent is shit!!! Brilliant actor though 😀

Alan carr has only one accent. No Idea where though.

American isn't hard haha.

Really sad to see what happened to Ellie Goulding. She used to be so cute.

Alan Carr is NOT a Geordie.

OMG Alan Carrs Geordie is terrible.

You would think cos he's good at picking up accents he could may be pick up an English one ???

None of them could come 2 the north east wirrout a interpreter? It's jolly well disrespectful 2 blame the indigenous people of their very own dialect ! Especially when those reacting 2 taking the hit & miss out of the countries finest !
