The Graham Norton Show never fails to disappoint when it comes to bringing together a star-studded lineup of celebrities for a chat show extravaganza. In this episode, we were treated to some truly memorable moments and nerdy revelations from the guests. Let’s dive into the highlights from this unforgettable night of entertainment.
First up, we have the charming Tom Hiddleston, known for his portrayal of Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But did you know that he’s also quite the impressionist? During the show, Tom revealed that he loves doing impressions of people he admires. In fact, he shared a hilarious story about his first impression, which happened while he was working on the Woody Allen film “Midnight in Paris.” Tom bumped into Owen Wilson on set and, expecting him to be dressed in 20s attire like the rest of the cast, asked him who he was playing. To Tom’s surprise, Owen responded that he was from the present and there was a time machine involved. Talk about a plot twist!
Impressions were not the only topic of discussion that night. Tom also showcased his skills by doing impressions of his fellow Avengers. According to him, everyone has an impression of Christopher Walken because he’s just so easy to imitate. And who can forget Walken’s famous line from “Saturday Night Live” – “I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!” Tom’s impression of Walken definitely had the audience in stitches.
Another highlight of the show was the conversation between Tom and his co-star, Robert De Niro. The two actors shared their experiences working together on the film “Heat” and the iconic restaurant scene where they meet face to face. Tom couldn’t resist quoting the memorable lines from the film, showing off his acting prowess and making us all want to rewatch this classic thriller.
But the nerdiest moments of the night came from none other than Simon Pegg. Simon, a self-proclaimed “Star Trek” fan, revealed his love for the original series and even shared his extensive collection of “Star Trek” memorabilia. From Spock’s ears to the Gorn head, Simon’s collection is every fan’s dream. His passion for the series didn’t go unnoticed, as he even joked about competing with his friend to see who could scream out the episode titles the fastest. Talk about dedication!
To top it all off, Graham Norton, the host of the show, added an extra layer of entertainment by playing a game of Trekkie trivia with the guests. Although Tom forgot his questions in his dressing room, Simon came to the rescue with a personal transporter, making everyone’s jaws drop. It truly felt like we had entered a parallel universe where anything was possible.
This episode of The Graham Norton Show reminded us why we love talk shows. The mix of celebrities, hilarious anecdotes, and nerdy moments made for a night of pure entertainment. As we eagerly await future episodes, we are grateful for the laughs and the chance to glimpse the human side of our favorite stars.
