- Hugh Dancy's American accent is pretty great, if he doesn't have to say words like "Carnegie," "hovering," or "squirrel." Check out Hugh's performance in the new film, "Downton Abbey: A New Era," in theaters now. #Colbert #DowntonAbbey #HughDancy

"When Hugh was at Oxford, he was named prettiest boy and prettiest girl because the students looked around and could not see a more attractive person anywhere on campus than Hugh Dancy."
Just doing my duty.
Please put this on every Hugh video
True?? Wow
i’m sorry that hugh dancy invented gender that’s not my problem
brits have such a low bar...
@@dsansil I don’t appreciate the Hugh slander, he’s fucking gorgeous bro
My first introduction to him was on Hannibal and I had no idea he was British. I was dumbfounded when I found out. He has one of the best "standard" American accents I've heard from a British actor. Even the ones who are really good will still trip up on a word or two, but I never heard any faults with his accent throughout Hannibal. So well done. Also one of my favorite tv series of all time.
Agreed! I can think of maybe two times on the whole of Hannibal his accent strays just a little tiny bit, and even those times don't sound bad at all, they just come across as Graham-isms. Wonderful actor, great speaker!
Same for me too!!! 😂😂
For me it was pleased in the blobbers that made me doubt and check him
He's such an amazing actor. He did an unbelievable performance in Hannibal from which I'm still reeling from.
One "from" is enough.
I feel the same, friend🥰
Met him when I was volunteering at the Obie Awards one year and he was a total sweetheart. He walked in while I was telling a joke and actually laughed at the punchline.
Cool
Thanks for sharing that, lovely guy clearly.
I blushed
can you recall that joke?
@@hihi-yt6ic if I remember correctly, it was my story about the time I realized I'd never be a true city girl (originally from very rural Tishomingo, Oklahoma, population 3,012) despite nearly 20 years in NY/NJ.
I was walking down a street in Manhattan and up ahead I saw a building with a sign out front reading, "Manhattan Fencing Company." I immediately started wondering where in Manhattan you can put a fence, and hoping there are enough people in Manhattan who need fences that they don't go out of business. So I got up to the building and looked in the window, expecting to see samples of fences, and instead I discovered that Manhattan Fencing Company is a sword fighting school.
He’s adorable! Feels so happy seeing Hugh and Mads having lots of individual projects but I need to see them together again in Hannibal S4. 🥲
Ya, last season wasn't as great tbh. Did the British thing off 3 & done, before it goes bad
@Fjæsing664 Yeah. The S3 finale is one of the bests I’ve watched, it was a masterpiece. But after reading Bryan Fuller’s plan for S4, I got excited and I wanna see more of the Murder Husbands killing together. 😅

I can almost confirm this fandom has had the most hardest time Getting a renewal and their the most patient ever.
Hugh’s an incredible actor and like Mads Mikkelsen and Paul Rudd, this gent is aging like fine wine 🫠💕 Bring back Hannibal!
No, last rain fell a bit, & I like the British 3 & done, don't drag it out for 20 seasons where nobody's watching anymore. Think of Mr beam & faulty towers, 15 & 12 episodes, yet timeless even though constantly in the word over
Awwww I love his home accent! I wish I could hear more of that
Robbie Williams' accent is not far from his accent - they both grew up in Stoke :)
“I’d rather earn my living down a mine!” The inimitable Maggie Smith - I almost sprayed my tea all over my laptop! Hugh Dancy is wonderful and I WISH they’d bring back “Hannibal” - he and Mads Mikkelsen were absolutely brilliant, as was the whole series. Lovely interview 💖
At we know the two actors are friends, wonderful humans, and would love to bring back the show in some form.
@@coribug42 Let's hope they do at some point!
No, keep it clean, when things go to long it taints the memory, think of Mr bean & faulty towers, so shirt, yet timeless, even though they're constantly on the world over. Ya, her anti snobbery snobbishness is amazing
What a talent he is - fantastic in every role.
His Stokie accent! I came here after rewatching Ella Enchanted, then realised he grew up down the road from me, so came in search of an interview to see if he sounded like a Stokie - and this is the first one I clicked on!
For reference - he grew up near to where Robbie Williams grew up, and Robbie still sounds like a Stokie. Love it!
When I found out he was born in Stoke, I freaking laughed cuz the only person I know who’s from Stoke is Murdoc Niccals 😂
Hugh Dancy is so cute. He's an amazing actor in all his movies.
Bring back Hannibal! 💔🍽 🧐
Seconded!
YES!!!😢
Can't wait for his next movie to be a gay rom-com with Mads Mikkelsen.
Nooooooo!
I am listening to an audiobook narrated by him and he does a really great job with all the voices. The book is called imposter first of a four part series by LJ Ross. Its also a really good book.
He’s delightful! I like the way Brits say “squi-rrel.” It’s supposed to be two syllables!! 😂
like the English might know how to pronounce words in English?
though as an Australian I do sometimes beg to differ 🤣
@@SueCrerar We were here first ;)
Americans laugh at some of the way us Brits say things, but the way you lot say squirrel and mirror…I mean they are just noises 😂
we say it with two syllables too though? squir - il. the second syllable is just shorter
Oh to get more Hannibal! He an Mads are riveting! I just discovered the show.
Oh god i fukin LOVE hugh
He's gorgeous and such a great actor omg
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Hugh Dancy is utterly adorable!!!
I first saw him in Daniel Deronda and I highly recommend it. Wonderful actor.
Downton Abbey is so awesome! I got hooked during the pandemic and binge watch just about every episode. Love Love Love and Hugh Dancey, what a piece of eye candy in face and sound..
This interview is a gem, they're both incredibly adorable ❤️
Could not have a more British sounding name unless his middle name was Crumpet.
Yes very Brit name. Along with Benedict Cumberbatch. 😂
Hugh Michael Horace Dancy lol
😂😂😂
2:54 "I'd like the staff." So would I. Not too many, of course, a very versatile cook, a chauffeur, a talented and a dedicated gardener plus a few others to do maintenance and cleaning and to help out the first three.
I’d take Mrs Patmore as a cook in a heartbeat ;)
Holy Shit I had no idea he was British 😯. After watching him in Law & Order I thought he was American.
Hugh Dancy do a project in your actual accent challenge
I love him😭✨ I missed him on talk shows
Charming chap...😉😊
Whatever it is, and by ‘it’ I mean the gigglelicious feeling I’m feeling throughout this show, may it last forever! In the mean time, thank you 🙏🏼 🫶🏻
Been a fan of he, Mads and Ioan Gruffud ever since I saw them in "King Arthur" also starring Clive Owen.
Hugh was outstanding in "Hannibal" which was all kinds of disturbing.😄💕💖❤️
Hi Stephen, I was in your audience during this taping. Thank you for sharing your recent struggles with the audience. We love you and miss seeing you. But it's important to take the time you need to relax. :). Cheers!
God bless you Stephen. I hope your health is excellent now. You’re the best, the greatest! I enjoy your show so much! Thank you 🙏
I would think Stephen, that when interviewing someone who is not massively talkative, the last thing you'd want to do, is constantly interrupt the few sentences that they do attempt to utter. :-/
Yeah this was hard to watch!
I love Downton Abbey and the incredible Ms Maggie Smith! She rocks this world 😆
Got to love when Americans correct the English of a Brit. :) I'm in Australia, and we definitely say 'hovering', not 'huvering' as Stephen pronounced it. :)
Hardly anything sinister. If he's playing an American it would behoove him to pronounce as an American would. Agree? He's not correcting his English, rather his American pronunciation.
@@allendever949 right. That's what I got from that too
@@allendever949 Colbert has a weird one-sided thing going on with Brits though.
Really pleased Law and Order has a new season,. Sam Waterston is amazing at 80!
Hugh!!
I NEED HANNIBAL SEASON 4 😭
I can listem to him talking for ever 😍
Sqwrl and mrrrr are the two that get me (squirrel and mirror).
I'm a mimic to a certain extent, so around a week or so into a holiday I've adapted enough to make the locals understand me, sort of. But my wife refuses to speak in anything other than her Australian accent so she will have shouting matches with serving staff who just can't understand her. I watch for a while but since I want my food before the heat death of the universe, I'm forced to interject and say "she means, can she please have a glass of waaah-durrrrr".
Such a delightful segment😊
i just like him
1928 was not a pre-pandemic world. The Spanish Flu pandemic started in 1918.
I'm thinking that British elite wouldn't worry as much as say soldiers.
Huvering Squirl. Got it. That will be extremely useful on our next sojourn to The Colonies.
Especially when you meet some Huvering Squirls.
That adorable cute giggle 😍😍😍😍😍
I need Broadway to release his & Nina Arianda’s performance in Venus in Fur; all the people need to see it! 😫
Also starring brilliantly in Law & Order!Impeccable American accent.
Lol! A German exchange student had the most difficult time saying squirrel. It got twisted up on his tongue!
the one that always gets me is "mirror" 😂
We had a Dutch exchange student who had a rough time with some of our local Native place-names (Siskiyou, Tuolumne, Toiyabe, Winnemucca, etc)... He laughed when we pronounced them correctly.
@@giuseppelogiurato5718 - we've got some great ones in Aotearoa-New Zealand, too. Try "Whakapapa" or "Paraparaumu" on for size 😂
PS, I've been to Winnemucca! Lol
@@MaddockJameslol, I wouldn't dare to try saying anything in any of the Polynesian languages without a native-speaking guide; as it is, our "correct" pronunciations of our place-names are only European approximations (spelled according the rules of English, Spanish, and sometimes Basque) of how we thought the original words sounded... The pronunciation is relatively straightforward (in Maori, for example), but it's too easy to be rude in Polynesian languages; almost like Japanese. Those languages are serious when it comes to politeness and respect of elders! 🇺🇸❤️🇳🇿
@@MaddockJames Also, I must ask, what brought you to Winnemucca? I'd love to visit NZ someday... I almost did once (with my bagpipe band, to compete), but Scotland won out in the end.
It is their language Stephen :D American is the accent. Somehow they keep forgetting it.
No, that's not how either languages or accents work. When branches of a language diverge, neither is somehow more real or valid than the other. That part is purely politics.
damn he still looks young. not that he's old now but he barely aged
More Hannibal and The Path, please!
I'll never forgive Hulu for the cliffhanger on The Path they left us with.
6:55 "Some English people have trouble saying _this_ one. How do you say that?"
"Heh heh. Squirrel."
🤔 Stephen, he's not _German._ This is one of the words with which one trips up _Germans._ Apparently, when your first language is German and now you're first beginning to study English, "squirrel" is a hard word for you to pronounce.
But ask an English-speaking American to say squirrel in German! It's definitely not pronounced like it's spelled "eichhörnchen."
@@Kitty8791 Sure it's pronounced like it's spelled... as long as you know how German pronounces letters.
Oh, but the French trying to say squirrel is the BEST. "SkwOOdl," one syllable. Of course, "écureuil" just rolls right off the tongue for Americans, so no room to talk here. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@Kitty8791 ei is a diphtong in German and since around 1400 or so not pronounced as it is spelled, but the rest of the word is definitely pronounced as it is spelled, i.e. according to the German alphabet.
The cheek of Stephen, Brits are saying squirrel and mirror correctly, the weird one syllable way Americans are saying them is wrong 😂
Just a lovely interview. Don’t mind it.
Have only seen Dancy in Ella Enchanted and The Jane Austen Book Club. Wouldn’t have recognized him in Downton Abbey but glad to know before I see it.
I’m from the same city as him! :D he’s right, he definitely speaks posher than me lol. I pronounce the ‘oo’ sound in “book” and “look”, for example, rather than “buhk” and “luhk” lmao
Loving his continued success, but GIVE US HANNIBAL SEASON 4 PLEASE
Fell in love with him in Daniel Deronda back in 2005.
He needs to start bringing his homemade magazine of decorative Easter eggs with him
OMG it's EADA Nolan Price!😮😮😮 #BestAccentEver
he's soo cutee
As a German who learned English in an American school in an ex-British colony, I wonder which accent is harder for me.
That’s…diverse
As an American, who grew up bilingual & later learned additional languages, though not German, the word squirrel in German is rather hard to say. Lol 🐿
@@Kitty8791 Apparently there's about three different dialect words -- roughly the Low, the High/Standard, and the Alpine I think? -- words for squirrel, and even other Germans crash and burn trying to say the wrong one! Or worse things like the phrase for 'squirrel's tail'...
I wonder too! Try both under medical supervision and report back? :)
@@AlaiMacErc I found six at Wiktionary. There are probably more. But German is a very diverse language. And yoghurt can be masculine, feminine and neutral in different parts of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Wow, he’s so fucking beautiful! ❤
Cuttiiiee
he stuck his finger in his ear and then imediately shook his hand lmfaoo
i'm hearing this as 'a new error' and it delights me.
I’m so glad that Stephen understands the way Carnegie is actually spoken compared to the way people say it for Carnegie Hall because I’m from Western PA and I hate the way they say it in New York
Got a tall ears ,yet quite handsome.
I miss this man in Hannibal 🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀
I did not know that he was in "Black Hawk Down."
i just love that almost all of the comments are about Hannibal
🤣❤️
"Pre-pandemic world"? I don't know if it ever came up in the show, but it can't be long after the so-called "Spanish Flu."
Yeah, think Steve forgot because the world had just gone through the same.
My point of reference for him is the Prince from Ella Enchanted.
I'm from where Hugh grew up, if i had a choice i would change my accent too! 😂
First of all Squirrel is 2 syllables! (Your can hear both vowels if you say it properly and you divide the word into 2 syllable between the 2 r's). And secondly, Americans, and sometimes we Canadians, put the accent on the first syllable of a word and Brits and most Europeans put the accent on the second syllable which results in words that can sound completely different.
I luv him in Hannibal 🌟
Well, to be fair, not all Americans can enunciate "hovering, squirrel" or "Carnegie Hall" with clarity, either. 😄
He seems to be one of the actually kind and decent human beings, at least from the interviews I've seen him on for late night, etc., and I hope he is really the kind of person he seems. And I often wonder... does he (or others from Great Britain) look askance at us for so many of our often admittedly bizarre opinions on life, liberty, and happiness? I do so myself, at others of my countrymen, so I'm almost certain he does. 😄
❤️❤️
It’s definitely squi-rrell 😆🇬🇧🇬🇧
Right. Two syllables.
Stephen Colbert hugh dancy can pass as American awesomeness job interview
I traded with Mr Destiny and he gave me good profits with his trading bot which gives him 100% accurate trades
True to his last name he usually dances with his main character. Wish this would have happened with Mary. And probably so does she! Watch the chemistry between him and Claire Danes dancing in Evening. Where they fell in love!
1:43 man that was a bad cut lol
I didn't know he waa British. Wow. So good on L & O
Now, Stephen, you’ve read the part of Mr. Bloom at Bloomsday On Broadway. You know a fair amount about the Bloomday Book, aka James Joyce’s ULYSSES. Hugh Dancey says to the TV audience that he was in a book group which recently read ULYSSES. And you don’t discuss it then and there?
It’s weird when I heard Hugh wa british I always pictured him as having a midlands accent a was shocked he didn’t, so it’s funny to hear he is actually from the midlands.
I knew a girl called "Downtown Abby"... she was pretty draughty.
When he changed to the midlands accent good god 🤤🤤
Stephen is spiritually British with a French name.
In England we call that irony.
God damn it bring Hannibal back,he was amazing in it
This is the first time seeing something recent of him, never realized he is twice my age,oh nuu
Hovering Squirrel @5:58
I literally just found out that Linus Roache (ADA Mike Cutter on seasons 18-20 of L&O) is also from the UK.
WE need Hannibal S4
"Finnegans Wake" is even HARDER! *traumatising flashbacks*
I watch him on the new season of Law and Order. I did not know he was British.
it's the charming guy is isla fisher's shopaholic
I miss Hannibal!!!!
He's married to Claire Danes and lives in Manhattan, not sure why colbert made it seem he's fresh on the shore.
One of the sexiest men alive ❤️😍
hovers, like lovers
They didn’t have Covid back then but they had a little thing called the influenza pandemic.
