    On the plus side, Fassavoy was entertaining.

    McBender seems more apt for the route for this fan fiction coupling, no?

    What I don't like about the GN Show is that it seems to me that the same guests seems to crop up all the time. McAvoy was on recently enough with that tall singer from Wicklow (he sings Church can't remember his name). Skinner always seems to be on it. Jimmy Carr and that O'Dowd comedian. They are always there. I can understand the regularity of repeating the same guests in Ireland where the talent pool is so much smaller but for goodness sake the UK is a much bigger pool so as not to have the same people always on.

    The O'Donovan brothers were simply embarrassing. It was their accents more than anything else. They were like a fish out of water on the show. Their talent is rowing. McAvoy asked them a question and I don't even know if they answered it or they just ignored him. They came across as rude country Paddy bumpkins.

    In fairness to Norton, if he were not Irish there is no way they would have been on the show. Maybe it were best that they didn't.

    Why were their accents embarrassing?? Strange comment. Strong maybe for some (I am from other side of the country and find their accent as coherent as anything and not that strong tbh), you don't like it maybe (perogative), but embarrassing?? hmmmmmm

    Dont mind him, who gets embarrassed by an accent. Complete troll!

    I must be the only person in Ireland who just doesn't get the love for those two. No idea why they warrant a guest spot on the show tbh

    I like them well enough but I've just caught up with the show and I don't really understand why they were there, as I suspected I would. Firstly, a silver medal isn't too impressive to Brits after their great Olympics and I don't think they would have really been bothered about the niche Irish humour either. The interview was just a bit awkward and perplexing. Only Michael Fassbender looked somewhat interested of the other guests. Over on the Digital Spy forums Graham Norton thread, people didn't seem too impressed either!

    The one thing I would say about the "cool story bro" comment..it was an awfully dull story. Dunno why Graham even brought it up
    ...it's a chat show?

    Kinda get what siblers was saying.. it felt like a story with no point..

    .. I've no doubt they would have cut it if it wasn't for the "cool story, bro" comment and McAvoy's biting comment.

    Wondered that as well, so checked Wiki which says:
    Porter always wears a modified flat cap for public appearances. In an interview with Jazzweekly.com by George W. Harris on November 3, 2012, when asked "what's with the weird and wonderful hat?" Porter replied, "I've had some surgery on my skin, so this has been my look for a little while and will continue to be for a while longer. People recognize me by it now. It is what it is."

    Gosling was very careful at the begining, wasn't saying much and was very choice what he did say. First time i'd seen him on a chat show, I was thinking how does he get into movies? But he got going then and yea, good character.

    Thought Gosling was fairly boring tbh. Even when he'd a good story to tell, he told it so monotone and looked like he didn't want to be there.

    The other three were good, though Stone was particularly great.

    Theres an older episode with Greg Davies telling a story. Gosling is in bits laughing at it. Worth checking out for the story alone !

    Gosling definitely looked disgusted that the singer admitted to illegally watching LaLaland, I was actually very surprised myself that the guy told that story.

    Good singer though.

    :confused::confused: No, he didn't! He just reacted in his usual stiff placid manner! I doubt he gave a cr*p!

    Yeah, she seems lovely and not half as fake as I think Jennifer Lawrence is with her "fun, normal girl" act!

    Agreed. I find Jennifer Lawrence a bit tiresome anytime she is on.

    The US has a extradition treaty in place

    Not saying he will be absolutely extradited but look at what's been happening with Julian Assange and the hackers

    It probably won't happen but never say never

    I think anyone appearing on the show has immunity from prosecution for anything said on the show

    It won't.

    It's surprising they didn't edit it out... More likely the BBC might get its knuckles rapped for allowing a reference to movie piracy...

    Embarrassing for you is it? there's always been athletes on that program from all over!

    What about McAvoy's 'Wallies' comment fell on deaf ears, kinda embarrassing, no?
