UPDATE – Was That The Finest Chat Show Forty-Five Minutes In Living Memory?

Tonight on BBC 1, The Graham Norton Show (which will show next weekend on BBC America in the States) saw Graham joined by will.i.am, Miriam Margoyles and Greg Davies. It is possible that Miriam was only booked so they could do the mir.i.am joke.

But as a result we got one of the finest hours of both intentional and unintentional comedy as Miriam corrected will.i.am repeatedly on his grammar and told him she found him fascinating as she doesn't know many black people, before telling a tale of such sexual deviancy that it caused Greg to exclaim "Jesus, Miriam!"

Throughout it will.i.am kept his cool, mostly, and tried to blaze his way through being verbally assaulted by a sweet old woman, against whom he had no defenses. Motormouth Graham even got squeezed out of the conversation…

You may watch through your fingers. You may watch through tears of laughter as you rock on the settee. But do watch. Here's a BBC iPlayer link for those with a UK IP address.

I just wonder how BBC America are going to cut it…

UPDATE: Here's the whole Bally thing…
