âAnd Meryl Streep you werenât always Meryl Streepâ âwHaT????â She just had 1 second of existential crisis
Lolll right
đ€Ł
đđ
nope. she forgot her lines. is a sketched reality, remenber that (like all of them)
Jenny Andrade đž I canât stop laughing, especially when she said what was the question đ€Łđ
"I'm sorry, what was the question?"
That is so me
and then.."what is your name?" is the question!
Same lolđ€Ł
Same here - unfortunately it usually happens when I'm in job interviews đ€Łđ
me too lol
@James Cunico Or maybe she was just having fun.
Imagine a world where instead of Meryl Streep we have Patty Street.
iâm crying, this comment is amazing.
@@nataliedigiacomo1148 an underrated actress in family sitcoms
She would have been a kids tv entertainer 100
Meryl wanted to be Street. She prefers t(ea) to p(ee)..well who wouldn't?
@@CB-xr1eg I don't know about you, but I like crumpets. Tea goes with crumpets. Pee goes with strumpets. I'm trying to keep the trash in the caravan thank you very much.
Meryl Streep is like Hermione Granger "it's not Alowha it's ALoha" đđđ
Ha ha I thought the same
"It's not haloha, it's aloha"
@@nikidon99 You say Tomato
Apologies for being lazy and not checking myself but who is Hermione Granger?
@@dnhy7951 bless you I hope you never have to find out
"Meryl Streep, you weren't always Meryl Streep" " What?" lmao, she sounded so confused
Yeah it took her a full 30 seconds to remember she wasn't always a famous actress :)
lmao ^^ To read this made me laugh much more than to hear it.
''What was the question?"
Now I can't stop replaying that part XD
"What was the question" đđ
I love that when Meryl speaks, everyone is silent.
@@unchosenzombie5144 ??? who
As they should be :)
@@sapphire3735 Either Uncosen is speaking about Roman Polanski or Woody Allen.
Anakarina âThatâs allâ
Your name sounds like a russian Novel
The Hokulani story and the research that took is still one of the finest examples of why no other talk show compares to Graham Norton's. Pure brilliance. XOXO ;)
I just simply googled the name Hokulani and that picture came up with it's story as well. But yeah GH is indeed a great show.
@@celestedavid7200 I wonder if it would have come up before this show aired. Of course it's coming up now, after GH made it a story.
Almost as intrusive and invasive as Narduar tbh
@@the3spirit Yes. I think you're correct. Google wasn't internationally underway until 2004. I doubt this zoo lady 34++ years after the death of that baby elephant thought to herself, _Oooh I must add the tragic death of one of our baby elephants that died over 3 decades ago!_ đ
he couldnt pronounce the name though
It always amazes me how incredibly down to earth Meryl is. She's like that awesome auntie everyone loves bcs she bakes the best cakes and has the coolest stories
She also openly supports a child rapist, so there's that too.
Yup, that old grandma 3 weeks away from losing her adrenachrome supply! đ
Graham Norton: You werenât always Meryl Streep.
Meryl Streep: **shocked**
Haha, laugh at the image.
ROFL
Made me think of Phoebe Buffay đđđ
She seemed worried Graham was about to tell her she used to be Dustin Hoffman.
âWhatâs your name?â
âGregâŠâ
âNo⊠I chaaanged it!â
I love it when Graham says something about a guest with such confidence, only to have the guest stare at him as if to say "what the hell are you talking about it?"
+puckerings It's the best!
+puckerings. Though with all that Botox, it's a wonder Nicole Kidman can do anything but stare.
t
j
+puckerings because he got all that info from the pre-interview, but confused her when he got the pet name confused with Hawaiian name.
+Sean David 4yum.x
"good luck with your interview!" lol damn Barb's a savage!
Meryl is hilarious. It's no wonder she's such a brilliant actress. She's got great presence even when just sitting and chatting.
It's a shame she's a brainwashed democrat.
Sheâs an uptight old hag lol
"This was in 1970 and Barbara remembers it like it was yesterday!" hahaha
Cuz Barbara did it!
Kris Milko there was no jealous "younger elephant"
kim-chi how many times do you have to say that???
đđđđ
Kris Milko I dead when he said that đđđ
I know I'm late to the comments, but I WORK WITH BARB! She is no longer at the zoo, but she is honestly the kindest warmest person in the world. IM DYING OVER THAT EMAIL THOUGH.
Ellie Holzapfel-I hope Barbara the Zoo Lady got to see this interview and learn how entertaining Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep found her email.
I thought it was rather sad like why feel the need to tell her that the beautiful baby Elephant she was named after died, I'm not blaming Barbara as she was just replying to an email but Graham could have thought it was a bit bad to tell her that. Sadly that's 'humour' for you though even sad stories deserve to be laughed at đ I didn't find it funny though but each to their own đ€·đ»ââïž
@@darcy3478 too soon?
@@darcy3478 His "humour" was at the women's expense. I found it a patronising interview of such talented brilliant women by this ordinary host.
@@kikicrete I agree it was a very distasteful interview, I don't watch this Show normally but ended up here after watching something else. I don't approve of his interview technique it is very patronising.
I had no clue Nicole was born in Hawaii. I thought she was born & raised in Australia. LOVE both these ladies, regardless of the name. Both are fabulous actresses. Talented to their very bone.
She was actually born on the airplane on the way to Hawaii
She is Australian and raised in Australia. Her parents were working in Hawaii at the time Nicole was born
I find it hard when talking of actresses to put Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman in the same sentence.
Meryl Streep. No words for how much respect I have for this absolute legend of an actor. Never acts like a diva.
Still beautiful.
@Karl with a K Nigella Lawson went to Oxford, she's definitely not thick đ
Her father is Lord Lawson, he was UK Chancellor of the Exchequer
She's an actress
@@grantn.9061 Yeah ...... so?
Don't try and be edgy mate đ
@@joethelion6016 If you agree, which you apparently do, then its not edgy.
@@grantn.9061 what are you 12?
Please just stop ffs đ«
When you realize Merylâs real name Mary Louise is the same name as her character in Big Little Lies đČ
And she plays Nicole Kidman's mother in law
BoneStudios15 my grandmother name????
The author named the character after Meryl Streep's real name. Shes a big fan and was hoping meryl would play her and couldnt believe she said Yes. Meryl was a fan of the show and said yes before she knew what the role was đ
Omg! Wow. How funny
Don't think that's a coincidence dear.
"What is your name is the question" hahaha I adore her!!
She is hilarious!!!
Me: "Why is he saying any of this?"
Nicole Kidman, seconds later: "This is awful. Why are you telling me this?"
Heavenly star
"What is your name, is the question!" Graham just cracks me up! This program is one of the best stress relievers ever (together with WILTY) as it's guaranteed to make you laugh!
"She was found dead in the moat of her exhibit-"
"This is awful why are you telling me this"
LMAO NICOLE WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE?
exo enthusiast That is often my exact response to so many things! đ„șđ
whats the name of the girl beside meryl streep?
lorenz m I believe the one sitting next to her is Katie Holmes
Stef with an F Carey Mulligan
Redochre 80 lmfao yes. Now that you say it, I can see it. It was the hair and gestures that totally reminded me of Katie Holmes.
How weird that your brain can just implant what you expect
Graham's comedic timing is divine!
Jake yes I just noticed as he looked right into the camera, "Good luck with your interview." Lol
Yeah, he's very good. Wish his show played over here. We get Jimmy Kimmel and co. Good grief.
@@waynej2608 Yea you get fatty Corden, keep him please.đđ€Ł
Heâs a genius
"Good luck with your interview!" đ
Love Nicole so talented versatile yet down to earth. She is kind and real. Bless her and her family.
Versatile next level! No other actress compares. Musicals, superhero films, comedy, viking epics, existential dramas, she's done it all! From Moulin Rouge! and To Die For to Being the Ricardos and The Hours to Paddington and Aquaman - she can do LITERALLY anything. 100 projects behind her, and she's still got another 20-30 years of acting, God willing. Genius.
â@@blackforest825ohh and she looks just stunning day after day !
"It happened in 1970 and Barbara remembers it like it was yesterday"
Plot twist: Barbara is an elephant.
Plot twist II: She's the elephant who pushed Okolani.
I know it`s a sad story but I can`t stop laughing
Damn you. Take my upvote!
I rarely vote, but that was too good. You are one of about 5 votes I have ever given. That was a good one. You should be his co-host.
Dave Cooke, thank you. đ
whats the name of the girl beside meryl streep?
"And she remembers it like yesterday" đđđđđđ
Because an elephant keeper never forgets
4:02 âOh this is awful why are you telling me this?!â But good old Graham continue , classic Graham slightly a sociopath đ
I love Graham's look to camera when he reads _"Good luck with your interview"_ 4:25
I love this story, as tragic as it is. The dramatization that Graham does is awesome.
0:04 Meryl literally had a small existential crisis at that second
3:47 how the hell does Graham manage to make this sad story sound so fucking hilarious hahaha
Read it as a 1930's private detective monologue.
Especially with how she's like traumatized lol
thatHARVguy and
L yeah
It's a gift.
Carey mulligan looks amazing as a brunette. There i said it.
Omg I was struggling to figure out who it is, I thought I know that face but I can't quite put a name to it... you're right, she does!
yeah I found she is more beautiful as blond!
Meryl is such a graceful lady! In her manners in everything! She also aged with grace!
Anyone else feel sorry for the poor baby elephant
+Aaron S so you're like... against animals or something?
I do! Poor little thing!
+matt biz Carey looks like she shed a tear...
+Aaron S In reality humans are animals so we are like them.
+matt biz Yeah it was such a fun interview until about that point :/
If Meryl had it her own way she would be called Patty Street hahaha!
lolllll
Meryl deserves an Oscar for this hilarious interview! đ
yuck
She deserves an Oscar for every moment of her life. That will make a lot of Oscars.
Great chat with Meryl. One of the greatest actors of our time. So versatile.
Hokulani's story is the saddest fucking thing I've ever heard, but the way Graham Norton told it made me laugh so hard.
+Jennie Kerfuffle yes it was.very very funny
j'habite j'y Tu
+Jennie Kerfuffle The woman who wrote the letter sounds amazing.
Seriously had me rolling on the floor.
i was soo hooked i wondered where the rest of the video went
Graham: Lets get an update on Hokulani
Me: Excited to see new photos
Graham: Hokulani's dead
Poor Elephant :(
this spills vibes of Olaf retelling Elsa and Anna's backstory in the Frozen 2 movie
This will forever be one of my all time favourite interview clips ! :D
Graham is the best talk show host on the planet! He always gets the best out of his guests!
I could listen to Meryl Streep talk all day
Don't we all
+Lauren Rogers Really? She seems really dazed and confused and is talking really slow and constantly losing her train of thought.
yes
+Disc Master I think she is a sharp lady and she is just funny. The way she tells a story is just funny.
+Lauren Rogers i could watch Meryl strip all day
the best interviewer eeeeeever xxxxxxxx
Up there with Johnny Carson.
This is one of the best I've seen from this show. All the twists and turns.
I want to see an entire episode, or 20 min. I LOVE HIS INTERVIEWING style.
Brits have a whole different brand of humor.
He is Irish
And as an American, I can say that this British humor, is more to my liking, than the late nite hosts we have. Well, Conan is decent enough. Cheers. đ
@@PanglossDr he may as well be British though
@@odhranoshea6269 Norton is a tosspot
Conan has said that he is 100% irish
Every time I watch this I end up giggling. Barbara gossiping about the 1970 salacious murder of a baby elephant.đ€Ł
I like your usage of the word "salacious" here. đ
what has humanity come down tođ
giggling at a murder
Like she's dishing the dirt.
Violence in the playyard....
Meryl Streep is a perfect name for one of the best movie actresses that's ever lived.
-You weren't always Meryl Streep
- WHAT?! Oh...
Hilarious! :*D
she is awesome
EswsssP1Q1P
Plkg
Hh
Yeah shes always fun to watch!
The âwhat is your name? Is the questionâ line is what makes Graham Norton masterful.
He's by far the best talk show host I've ever seen.
Alisson Burgers
Thanks for posting.
I love when Graham says âif Iâm wrong...!â So much funnier watching it repeated bc you know he wouldâve had a whole bit and contacted a zoo halfway across the globe for nothing. đđ
Norton: Meryl Streep, you weren't always Meryl Streep
Streep: *shocked Pikachu face*
Yup đ€Ł
What face would she show when people ask about her close connection with Weinstein?
Since I been around sheâs always been Meryl Streep đđ
I simply love Nicole Kidman's changes of facial expressions on her face over the duration of that story, from happy to surprised, shock, sadness....etc...
She has facial expressions. OK
This shows brings the best out of people wish we had a show like this in America. Also the guests always looked so relaxed.
The guests get booze. Of course they are relaxed.
Graham's show brightens any day of the week!
"Good luck with your interview." -- WTF!! I nearly died laughing! Couldn't decide whether to cry because of the terrible fate of the baby elephant, or to let the laughter out because of Graham. Cannot get enough of this show. What a great host!! :)
Meryl pulled a hermoine Granger on Graham." Its not haloha its Aloha" lol
Ileana Luna or aunt Josephine from a Series of Unfortunate Events, who was a retired grammar teacher (that role was played by Meryl)
Ileana Luna yeah she did!!!
That is because she let her real personality slip-out. A kind person would not correct someone in front of millions of viewers.
@@gmaddocks oh do shut it
Meryl Streep is that cool, wise and fun aunt everyone wants. her being mother would be too much pressure to achieve something in life
I love how he says "good luck with your interview". Many people forget that Graham went to drama school.
"Good luck with your interview" HAHAA
Look at her saying '.....and my name was Meryl' and she does something with her glasses. This is how an actor lends a core to the character and this is what makes Meryl Streep a genius!
I havenât laughed this hard in awhile. This is hilarious!! Thank you for posting!
Nicoleâs reaction is soooo funny lmao
meryl and nicole are 2 of the best actresses ever
That email was hilarious!! It brought me to tears!! Lmbo!!
Oh man, this show is pure gold! Why don't we have stuff like that over here!?
I love listening to Meryl Streep talk.
"you'd think, busy busy busy i got a zoo to run, i'll stop there. no.. barbara continues.."
He is hilarious :'D
đčđčđč
RIP Hokulani đ
who
Not Nicole Kidman tho, at least not yet. The murdered baby elephant.
The Graham Norton shows are the best (if such youtube clips are any indication). Each one I watch on youtube is DELIGHTFUL!
Nicole lived up to her name!
You learn something every day in stage 4 quarantine in AustraliađŠđș
Nicoleâs so attractive and I love her quirky personality, very Aussie
Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep all togheter, on one sofa. I wanna ask them something about The Hours movie.
+lolpo555 Yeh, I wish there was a few questions, stories about filming that amazing movie. But it's showbiz, and that movie was about 13 years ago, so they have to talk about the new projects.
GĂĄbor VĂĄg
Yeah.. ;)
+GĂĄbor VĂĄg -They did talk about the hours in that interview but it happened before this clip
Thing Thang I know, but it was only a joke about Nicole's nose. I want to see and hear more. :)
GĂĄbor VĂĄg True but at least it shows it's not a forgotten movie
Norm: where'd you get your name?
Nicole: from the Honolulu Zoo
Me: *being from Hawaii* yep, that checks out
Norm?
Norm is Graham's Hawaiian Name.

@@aishrocks210 what does the second O stands for?
@@marinadeburgos8666 oh lol I meant to put a "P" thanks, just edited.
Graham handled that masterfully, as ever
i couldn't help but laugh when graham was reading the letter from barbara about the elephant (the story isn't exactly funny but graham's comedic timing and nicole's reaction makes it a lot funnier)
Omg Meryl correcting Graham on "Aloha"đComing from a local of Hawaii, that means a lot to me
If she was born in Hawaii, doesn't she have usa citizenship? Was her father working in Hawaii on a visa? I've got questions
@@robin-chat2812 isn't that 14 ammendment. She would be an American and Australian too. ??? Gotta go check. Lol.
Yeah, she's listed as American-Australian
@@robin-chat2812 what you trying to get her deported?
Nah, I like her. Never realized she was born in USA
OMG, total girl crush on Carey, she looks so beautiful. And Nicole is very sweet.
+missisfreddiemercury I could eat Carey right off the plate.
kezren89 she played in several films, like An Education
+Tucker Kaufmann Why?
+missisfreddiemercury I almost didnt recognise her with this hair! Wow!
Tucker Kaufmann All I meant was that thinking a girl is pretty doesn't make you a lesbian!
This is a great interview.
I certainly did not expect this to go down the "possible elephant murder" route, but as always, THANK YOU... CZcams for always keeping me guessing!!!
I swear nicole kidman never ages she still looks the same as ever.
That's called Botox
+Booby Manfanny and stitching! đč
1:54 for frown line. 2:43 for eyebrow raise.
HUYI1 ..Loads of botox..she admits it..but she is a lovely woman..have you seen her on the jimmy fallon show in new york.hillarious she was fab
ah, so that is her secret huh, horrible stuff i've heard.
R.I.P. Baby Hokulani :'(
Thanks to this video Ive been randomly saying 'remember hokulani? What happened to hokulani?' for quite some time now
4:15 "Good luck with the interview." was actually written on that email! Lmao đ
The way he read that email, and the way he reads anything on this show is one of the reasons I love Graham Norton
Patty Street xD
LOL I cant stop laughing at this
Yeahhh đđđ
Doesnât have the same ring to it lmao
đđđđđđđ
Like 555
Graham traumatizing Nichole.. she was so proud of her name, too đ
"My twin!" Nicole is the purest, sweetest woman!
This is hilarious Nicole Kidman's face is priceless when he reads the letter
Nicole is definitely a heavenly star
@S Anna do you copy paste the same comment?? if u dont i admire u, you must have time
Charming.
Thank you.
Very engaging and fun!
Why did I laugh SO hard at the elephant letter? I feel awful that Iâm STILL laughing lol. Smh.
Is there a word for that in English--laughing at something tragic while knowing it's not really laughable? There should be.
@@maxpenn6374 Schaudenfraude - Taking pleasure in someone elses pain. Joy from someone else's misfortune. German, not English but it translates haha
@@kirkris7563 Nicht genau--not exactly. Schadenfreude to me is seeing a great legislative moralist charged with using public money to fund his extramarital affairs, for example. The same word doesn't describe my amusement when for example, the funeral director says, "If you wish, please view the deceased before you pass out." (I was less mature when that happened.)
@@maxpenn6374 sadistic humour. however, it's graham's comedic timing that makes this story hilarious
@@maxpenn6374 dark humor.
Awww Meryl's such a sweetheart
The Meryl Streep portion of this had me laughing so hard. Sheâs so goddamn precious. And donât get me started on Nicole Kidman. Sheâs frigginâ adorable.
She's 1.5 months younger than me. People always think I am at least 10 years younger than I look. But if I would be with her they would call me a dirty old man.
Brilliant! Love these Ladies and Grahamâs show! đ”đŒđđ„°
"what is your name?" was the question
hahahahaha
only if he wouldve added Stefani Germanotta Lady Gaga to this lmao
Meryl Streep is a great Actress and a great person.
great actress yeah. person, meh

Except in some movies
Not what Iâve readđ€·đŒââïž
Great actress on screen. Off screen, liberal POS
I love Meryl! This woman is wonderful! Not just her career but her personality is so beautiful. She has a bright soul. She reminds me so much of my grandma. They only have a 2 year age difference.
Ok this made me laugh alot and I enjoyed it. Thanks so much
So many incredible women in one sofa!
