Last night on The Graham Norton Show, the cast of Hocus Pocus made a special appearance to celebrate Halloween month. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, who starred as witches in the Halloween comedy Hocus Pocus, joined Graham Norton for a lively chat show conversation.
During the interview, the cast reminisced about their time on the beloved movie. Bette Midler shared a funny anecdote about her son’s strong opinions on his hair. It turns out that he refused to get a haircut for several years, and the only person he trusted with his hair was a stylist named Carol from whipper snippers. Bette even went as far as pretending to be from the IRS just to get Carol’s contact information.
The conversation then shifted to Bette’s illustrious career in show business. Graham Norton praised Bette for being a multi-talented performer who could both sing and entertain audiences with her humor. Bette jokingly responded that she should start a boot camp to teach other performers how to be amusing and develop their personalities.
Sarah Jessica Parker also joined in on the fun by sharing a story about living in trailers during the filming of Hocus Pocus. She mentioned how she was surprised to find Hugh Grant’s hands surprisingly ungroomed, considering his reputation for being elegant. Sarah even offered to clip Hugh’s nails for him, which he gladly accepted.
Later in the show, the Irish duo Jedward made an unexpected appearance. Graham Norton asked them about their signature high hair and energetic performances on The X Factor. John and Edward explained that their hair was not intentional but rather a result of running and letting the wind do its thing.
The conversation took a humorous turn when Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy interacted with Jedward. Bette prodded John about a scar on his lip, leading to a lively discussion about their various scars and injuries.
The show ended on a hilarious note when a fan shared her experience of writing an essay about Bette Midler and impressing her classmates with a song. To everyone’s surprise, she delivered a spot-on rendition of one of Bette’s iconic hits.
As always, The Graham Norton Show provided a delightful mix of humor, nostalgia, and unexpected moments. This Halloween-themed episode was no exception, leaving fans excited for more exciting guests and lively conversations in the upcoming episodes.
