This is why as an American viewer, I believe that Graham Norton is one of the best... if not THE BEST TV interviewer today. Nothing in the US compares. He knows when to interject, but most importantly knows when to shut up.
True that
Indeed, with Conan he might sit quiet while you say your piece but he would NEVER let it get that intimate and with Kimmell he'd just tallk all over it and fake laugh while doing it.
@@aikighost I guess you're not aware that on American shows the questions/answers are discussed beforehand? This is VERY well prepared in advance in order to not derail to the unknown. This is why they'll never end up with something like that.
indeed sir! US talk shows suck. it's all politicized as well.
@@Gourgandise Im aware yes. Because as an Irishman I know basicaly everthing. Doubly so when it comes to women, :)
He would never tell that story to Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy would be like HAHAHAHAHAHA
Fallon is such an ignorant douche.
Yea. Fallon would have ruined that.
Most American hosts would have interrupted him except maybe conan. Graham is different, he's less of an interviewer and he just guides the conversations between those on the sofa
Lawrence Stevens I was thinking of writing this comment about Conan here then I scroll through and see your comment; that’s very true
@@chriswyatt9869 everyone loves Conan.
“I see you as a king” can see that love and hurt in his eyes. Raw moment
My man spoke his heart out. That pause though is very emotional.
thought slavery was over though....
@@feYslYa No one mentioned slavery, get a better attitude.
@@TheDwarvenPeople "my man"
get better glasses
@@feYslYa OH THAT WAS MEANT TO BE A JOKE? I have not ever seen worse delivery in my life lmfao
@@TheDwarvenPeople that means Im special
It's probably the first time I see Jamie so serious, and definitely first time so emotional...
Beautiful speech
Same here!
i clicked on video hoping he would sing again but that was even much better
The first time since i saw his emotional oscar acceptance speech.
Yup true
Michal Lach YOU MUST WATCH HIS ACADEMY AWARD SPEECH......EPIC!
I love the fact, that everyone had the decency, and respect, to allow Jamie that pause.
In a US talkshow they would start clapping. I noticed US audience can't handle silences well.
It was poignant.
Yes. We he said i see you as a king. Complete silence as it should be. Total respect
Only on Graham Norton.
It went deep. I teared up too. I pray he makes it through his current health crisis.
American talk show hosts...take note. Letting the guests actually speak, this is how it's done.
Andy Blooman facts 🙏🏿
"Hahahaha hehehehehe!" - Jimmy Fallon
Very that
Jamie Foxx always takes over the show
@Ryan Akwar not anymore unfortunately
This is so raw of a moment, I’m glad they let him say what he needed to say, no interruptions/added comments/attempts to fill the silence. Every second Jamie took to tell his story was necessary. Everyone needs to hear this and go watch the movie too
if you say right things in a good way nobody would stop you
@@thewhiteheart883 Well that's just not true.
That's why I like this show. When actors interview there it seems they are more fun & open. Plus, Graham knows when to shut up and let them speak!
@@robr4466 i like to think its true , and i like to keep the hop in ppl who listen and care , the prove is the positive comments here
@@svp2010 its like the guests enjoy the show more than the audience
A moment when silence spoke.
Mourad Blil that’s unbelievably deep man.
Wow... What a phrase, man.
Who said that phrase 1st?
that pause...that was heartbreaking
Sudhir Kakar shut up❤️
Sudhir Kakar Your parents affection is staged.
Jamie is one of the greatest
Hey!!! That’s Mr. Foxx to you 🤨
You are great.
Love you bro!
That's the most emotional anyone has ever been on Graham.
I really like how Graham Norton and his audience listen to Jamie Fox share his story. Graham listens the whole time, shows his engagement, and brings the topic up in the most courteous and interested way. And the audience’s silence and well-timed applause impressed me bc if this was an American talk show (which is more like 99% comedy bits and party games), the American audience would probably laugh inappropriately. Or the host would interrupt or say something in a fake manner
I watched this episode and no one jumped in, laughed or said anything which proves why Graham Norton is a british treasure
Sometimes teleprompters force applause or laughter, which causes some of those moments where exchanges are ruined. Although I wouldn't be surprised if GN also had teleprompters.
@@manuelmateo3392 I would say that he does, but those prompters would follow Graham and the producer for cues. By this point in the show's production, they would work together pretty seamlessly, I imagine.
I'm not crying, you're crying ...
It's okay to cry!
It's true...I am.
:(
Me three 😭
Me 4 there just onion in the air😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Foxx is a masterful storyteller. One of the best speakers out there. Holds a sentence like no one else.
Amen.
The way he said he saw his father as a king and the way he paused afterwards almost made me cry. I saw my father in jail when I was young and I cam honestly say it hurts but it's not regular pain its something different something I've never been able to describe and I still remember it now
@Sudhir Kakar I never said anything about a lesson so what are you talking about?
@Sudhir Kakar the system is broken. There are plenty of instances when those imprisoned are actually innocent
@Sudhir Kakar I think it is very rude of you to comment your own perception directly to this person who clearly is much affected by his/her father being in jail. If you yourself have an 'idiot father' I am sorry you're hurt by it and feel the need to project that to others, but if you're just trying to be an analytical smartass then go write an essay about it somewhere else instead of attacking this person (and his/her father) who you know NOTHING about.
@@ChINNg28 He was definitely out of the line here, but he also got a point. So maybe YOU, honey, stop being preachy smartass and just sit down and think a little.
Yeah. Me, too. I remember being told to walk down this long hallway. I did. I didn’t know what to do though, there was no one around. I opened the door the hallway lead to. I was stunned. I opened the only door and it was like being in a movie. The light were fimmed. I felt like I was in a movie. Everything looked high tech. There was a row of glassed FCU licked where you sit don and the inmate meets you on the other side. Maybe 6. Yet I was the only person there. No guards. No inmates and visitors sitting across from each other. I was bewildered. I walked to the last ‘booth’ and I could see the cells. Maybe 4 stories. And it was so quiet.
Then , my pops hobbles in eventually. It was s shocking. He became so sick there. He wasn’t being given his medication . He’d aged 10 years in just a week. He was so mistreated by the guards. He was in his mid seventies. It was his death sentence. Myrdal fallen asleep behind the wheel. Prescription medication and alcohol. Not a high amount of alcohol by any means, year there was some in his system.
When I saw him I barely recognized him. I wasn’t able to save his life. But that moment of seeing him, so worn down. Suck. Taken for granted and advantage of. I died a little bit that day. He sat in his chair. I opposite. And we did what you see in movies. Put our hands against each other through the glass, both with tears streaming downs our cheeks. I know he was so ashamed. I was …. Devastated. My pops.
He looked at me with this look I am not going to try to describe. And he said, Hey Tiger.
Hey Pops. I love you.
My life and his, they changed that day.
I understand.
The way he paused, told us he was fighting back the tears. So powerful.
This is the first time I’ve seen the Graham Norton show so serious but it was so powerful. When Jamie was speaking the crowd was dead silent and so respectful. Wow, just goes to show how much corruption in the justice system there is.
What's corrupt about enforcing the law as it stands on the books? Irrespective of agreeing with the law or not it must be enforced
@@empyrealcultist1992 LOL. the 'Laws' are made by the ones, who want to keep the blacks in their place. No wonder
@@adampower9757 10/10 reading comprehension, well played!
Thanks for liking and commenting on my post I really appreciate your support am really grateful.
Graham knows how to go with the flow. The story was very important for Jamie to share, and it’s a very important story for everyone to hear.
"It takes us 1 year to learn how to speak, and 60 years to learn when to be silent." (Ernest Hemingway).
Well, Graham, thank you for learning that lesson so well...
Amazing testimony. Amazing show.
I loved it when he said that his father taught him to play tenis because he didn't want him to feel limited. 💪💪💪
Britishers have the best manners
P.s-I know graham is not english
You watched the "pause moment" more than once...
Facts !! I came back for it just to rewind it like 3 times
Bless Graham Norton for being a host who can read his guests.
As black man whose father was incarcerated under false charges this made me tear up. I watched the movie with my father who is now free and I urge everyone to go see it. Thank you Jamie and Michael for bringing this for the world to see.
white people regularly get into prison under false charges as well! and just because of the wrong judging system...
there`s no need to draw a hero out of yourself!
@@svetlankam8223 please search on statistics before, that is not true
I send you an embrace 🤗. Respect
Peace.✊🏾
Nothing in this world can compare to Jamies pause talking about his father. The silence from the crowd and him is pure emotion.
Thank you Mr. Norton, for not interrupting him.
He always knows when to be silent.
When he paused, he wanna just tear up right there believe me. Glad life is back on track for over 20 years and still going good
Jamie Foxx has never been this emotional and sincere. Only on GRAHAM NORTON 👍
he's an actor .. they get paid to pretend ...
@@ilikeknives1000 you could at least empathize. when you're talking about such experience like Jamie's, everyone gets emotional. being actor doesnt mean being fake in every interview.
Im tired if hearing this "white priveledge " bs you dont know me you dont my story or others story and I dont know you or your story. You expect me as a white person Pnot to judge you by the color of your skin then you must do the same. Where I come from I dont see any priviledge my dad has done time and for way more than 7 years!! You take people from everywhere they come from dont assume or judge based on the color of their skin or the accent in their speech. Dont lump me in some convenient discription because I happened to born white!!
Tina Nickerson man stfu
He's got emotional about his father on The actor's round table too.
Not gonna lie I cried the moment he pause
I am sure there was many others in that moment
me too
pheejeypi SAME 😭😭
He fooled u real good aye
@@D9Wx celebrities go through life hardships just as we do. you don't have to assume it's a lie just because he happens to be famous🙄
That was so moving my stomach clenched the entire time he spoke. So much feeling and pain. Jaimie Fox is a treasure his father cultivated and shared with the world. He is indeed a King.
I really appreciate your comment and nice words for me, and I hope you still follow me up...?
What can this man not do - he sings, he entertains, he makes you laugh and now makes you cry!!
I never knew this story. What a wonderful son Jamie is to keep his promise to his father.
Jamie is such a likable guy. His stories also always are top notch.
This is the most powerful moment I've ever seen on a talk show. That silence says everything. Huge respect for Jamie for telling this story
This is just a beautiful and raw moment, but what made it even more special was that Graeme (and the other Guests) allowed Jamie to tell his story.
Imagine Fallon instead,😒seriously how does he have a talk show?
The Graeme Norton show is great m8
@@valtan666 Agree
@@theflagbearer9196 Jimmy is funny but Graeme is on another level. Jamie chose the correct show to tell this story.
You can feel every word he says. Rare moments in a talk show. Just a beautiful moment in time.
Gosh he looks like he’s about to cry...
Hence the pause...
“Because he’s a king” (powerfully emotional pause)
This show, "The Graham Norton Show," is brilliant and fabulous.
He gets celebrities to really let it all out!
That brought tears to my eyes. The quietest clip I've ever seen on Graham's show -- and the most powerful.
Such injustice. No other word to describe it. Bless Jamie and his family.
A man broke the law and was punished. 7 years sounds like a long time but Fox doesn’t mention all the details (previous record etc). That’s not an injustice, that’s how laws work.
@Gerren Glenn his pops Darrell had a long rap sheet and that is a taken into account during sentencing. Nice to see Jamie looking after his pops even though he was abandoned as a baby.
@Gerren Glenn same happends to white ppl all the time. Yet this black supremacist had to make it about race. He plays a game
This is a 2 min long video! That's all the time he needed to speak. That's all the time we needed to listen. Everyone has 2 min to listen uninterrupted. Even on a talkshow. Graham Norton is so great at this stuff
There has been many entertaining uploads from Graham Norton but this is an important one, a great one ✌️
You know Jamie Foxx is respected as an actor when the audience is completely silent.
Graham Norton really knows how to interview people beyond being a chatshow host and he showed that here with Jamie Foxx and his powerful story.
Very emotional Speech.
A silence louder than any sound.
If I wasnt already sure Just Mercy would be an astoundingly good film, this just convinced me. I can tell he must have channelled 7 years of pain and lost memories into it.
I hate it when dust just suddenly appear in your eyes for no reason.
Logic Man just open up and let the water works begin. Your not alone. 😀😀😀
Who's crying with him? 😭
This man is a legend!
Thanks for your comment and like
That pause was sooo loud! Oh my heart.
The atmosphere when he was telling that story was amazing!
How moving. Thanks to Jamie for sharing & Graham for being a brilliant interviewer.
I love this dude right here. Jamie speak with so much clarity and powerful. When he speaks everybody listen to him.
He may tell the same story over and over again, but this is the best he’s told this one. That pause 🤧🥺
Fantastic upload!
Everyone and not just Graham just listened to him and let him tell his story. That's why this is my favorite talk show. I was just talking about the show with my colleagues 2 days ago. It's amazing how the people feel so free to talk about anything here. It's beautiful 💖
That was beautiful to watch. A son speaking about his father and that paused emotion about not being able to see him inside. That was true heart right there.
And to take care from his release till now is wonderful.
Important for all to strive for justice and equality. Best to him!
Previous criminal records/rap sheets are taken into account during sentencing, Darrell wasn't a first time offender.
Thanks for liking and commenting on my post I really appreciate your support am really grateful.
Thanks very much I really appreciate
Never cried before watching this show
this is one of my favourite stories ever. Just so moving and just mercy is such an important film and just shows where society is
So lost for words, thank you for sharing Jamie. And thank you to Graham for always creating an atmosphere for guest to feel free to be real.
wow gotta appreciate the audience 👏🏼
That was such a powerful moment. Thank you Jamie for sharing your story. 🙏
I appreciate your comment
probably the best piece of interview I've seen
The pause....
Holding back the tear.
Broke me down.💚💚
Wow thanks very much, I appreciate
Man I'm crying 😢 😢 😢 when he stop talking
I felt that when he paused
This a pause will go down in the history of the show. What a touching, powerful moment and message..
Mr Graham Norton is such a great listener. He just let's his guests talk and talk for hours on end
An American interviewer would have interrupted him
yes 100%
The pause in his speech makes a far bigger impact than his entire speech.
So proud of you taking care of your dad. Respect.
Thank you for sharing this Story with US, Jamie.
WOW, tears... my God 💜💜💜❗
1:11Oh my god, man...
This has me in tears! Beautiful man!
His story gets me every time I watch it, respect!
Oh I felt that 💔❤️
What's your instagram suga? Lol😍😍
I don’t know why but I actually felt sincerity out of celebrity while telling a personal story for the first time. ❤️
i replayed that pause a few times wow Jamie is such a beautiful great story teller every interview or anytime he speaks you get stuck in his words that man is a gift and the respect everyone showed him here listening to him I give them all love from me to them in that moment because we’re all humans and can relate to a real human feeling you know when to be silent and when to speak in such a time I’m proud no one interrupted his story because they knew it was about to be real moment based off Jamie’s powerful energy he is a King just like his dad I tell u man when Jamie speak you must listen you can’t help he’s so good at it lol alright I’m done but he deserves to be praised for his great soul God bless him man
Beautiful story,love Jamie for sharing.
He's a master story teller.
Every time I watch this someone starts cutting onions.😏😢
This is why I watch graham! Let’s people speak all the time, never ever interjects.
Story got me like all of you man! Super strong to hold it together, he nearly went.
Just made me think this is why I still show up time and time again to be around my kids even though she tries to suppress that, yea love is number one but I want my son to see me just the way Jamie sees his.🙏
Unique ♥️🙌🏼 God bless you
I love Jamie, so talented, just brilliant.
Jamie Foxx is an amazing person.
Hey thanks so much
Hatred is only cured with love and kindness and Jamie was blessed for with that gift
A rare moment on Graham's show. you could hear a pin drop.
What a beautiful story
I dont think ive ever seen it get serious like that on GN. Wow.
Jamie Foxx is a living legend 🔥
Preach young brother. Louder so the ppl in the back can hear.....
This was an standing ovation moment. Jamie Foxx is an incredible human being. ❤️❤️
When he was talking, you could hear a pindrop in the room.
When he told his father he couldn't come see him cuz he sees him as a king I instantly started crying
A king who is a known felon with multiple convictions who abandoned his son as a baby.😁😁
@@saulwest8254 people make mistakes it's all a matter of learning from it no one's perfect.
@@saulwest8254 I'm a known felon with multiple convictions and I'm in my son's life every day wrestling practice and everything so what's your point
@@OG_VERBZ Lmao I shouldn't have to tell you what the point is, its obvious. His Dads previous criminal record/rap sheet is taken into account during sentencing, which is why his Dad Darrell got 7 years. Jamie made it seem like it was just for 25 bucks of weed and didn't mention the other crimes. Bogus story don't ya think.
This same @Saul has taken the time to post this several times in the comments section. Even if he was already a convicted felon ... so what?? You need to borrow a Bible and read when Jesus asks the irate mob to cast the first stone...if they are themselves without sin. What a bitter heart you must have. You surely cannot be at peace. Find it.
only interview moment that has made me cry ever
Look at his eyes when he says “I see you as a king”. That is love and passion right there. Raw love…. Beautiful.
This man can move you, make you laugh, do impersonations, sing, play piano, has stories about everyone in Hollywood, was an athlete... 100% my all time dinner party guest list he would be first on it.
That beautiful dead silence though
Powerful stuff
I love how carefully Patrick listens. So respectful.
Who's patrick
