Yea I learnt during the writers strike in 2007- 2008 in the U.S, just how much the writers actually do! All of it! During the strike Jay Leno and Ellen, etc. had no intro, no segments, no nothing! They writers probably wrote Michael's intro as well! Still love both Michael and Björn. Credit where credit due
I love that Bjorn has such a great sense of fun and is appreciative of the joy that ABBA music still brings people (even out of key). He was very generous with his comments.
All hail King Bjorn I would have died if I'd been there, what an absolute legend and a great sport. So glad to see him getting a standing ovation that he more than deserves . ABBA forever
I back watching this, because from here, I’ve become a huge fan of this ultra-talented, ultra-cool, unabashedly funny, Michael McIntyre! The best comedian I’ve been searching for, fir a very long time! Love and much applause from the USA! Thanks Michael! 🙃
I think when you reach THAT level, if you meet a person who still sings your song you really cannot be mean to them. Unless you are an ass**** of course.
@@homemail9653 Yes, they even pre thought out the amount of breathing, smiling and blinking. Bjorn was contractually obliged to exactly follow the pre though out second by second script, or else he wouldn't be paid his fee.
Agnetha Bjorn Benny and Annafrid (Frida) ABBA are worth £800 Million each due to the songs and the Mamma Mia movies i wouldnt think he was to worried about some payment from the BBC .All four are lovely down to earth people with hearts of Gold Love them all her especially Agnetha since the age of 10 I'm beyond ecstatic that back love both songs especially Dont shut me down just fantastic pure ABBA
Michael McIntyre, Thank you for the laughs, the jokes I'm hearing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a joke or a laugh, what are we? So I say thank you for the comedy For giving it to me.
@@jl5749 I swear my comment was deleted a yr ago! I thought that meant Michael didnt want it to come back. But yes, I saw recently that it IS coming back n I am very happy! 🤩
He looked like a cross between a chubby cherub and Ricky Gervais, and I like how he held his pinkie finger while singing, just as a little kid would. 12:33
This is the magic of Abba! Back then and now they have remained loyal and humble to their fans. Many modern day movie stars and mediocre bands would do well to emulate their humility. Because like the classical music composers before them, Bach. Mozart and Beethoven later greats such as Freddie Mercury/Queen, their music will be sung and played for as long as the sun and moon continue to orbit the earth! Even today, their music sparks joy to my soul.
I used to work as a Karaoke host. This video almost gave me PTSD. I did love working as a host, I don't really care whether people can sing or not, it's all about the emotion, as we say in Finland "kovaa ja korkealta" (loud and high).
One of the best entertaining, musical and humorous shows I have ever seen. Nice to see Bjorn Ulvaeus getting a standing ovation. I love how the show builds up to the laughing climax that starts at 11:06. :)))
Classic! Loved this, just quietly, Abba interview on Channel 7 Australia tonight, i sang along to the songs because it brought back my younger days, i loved Abba 🥰
My favorite was the women who ordered the pint with crisps while singing. I thought she should sell that to Catherine Tate's team. I would LOVE to see Catherine Tate do this as Nan.
Bjorn is a legend and was a great sport to go along with this. He seems very modest considering the fantastic catalogue of hits that he co wrote. When was this filmed?
Absolutely brilliant. I remember watching on the tv and it was just as funny this time around. Bjorn is such a sport and a great man. Thank you for the laughter Michael McIntyre.
Hey Michael, I guarantee you for every like there are ten who just took it in, chuckled, thought for a sec "wonder where he is just now", and then moved on. We miss you Michael. Your unique campy style fills a void in our lives 😁 thanks for continuing to post videos to keep us entertained. Such a valuable service to the community. Waiting for your re-emergence.
wOw, just w O w! Imagine being in some of those singers shoes, first to be picked out infront of everyone, and then get tho know it was taped.... and then on top of it all.... everything being watched and judged by the man who wrote the songs.... A living legend! OMG! UNBELIEVABLE
Such a great talent! I remember when they first appeared in the US, I was so jealous of those girls! How amazing that must of been to be in a amazing group as that! Love Abba!
Take A Chance On Me is one of my favorite songs! The lady was so funny. I really like her. I would love to hang out and sing with her. We are about the same age and size. We could make magic happen. ❤️🌹❤️ This is a wonderful show! I love it! Bjorn is so wonderful to participate and be so kind to the singers. Love him! Michael McIntyre is a marvelous host.
What a way to start my day... watching this! So incredibly funny! So cool that they all were very good sports about being skewered. Super cool that they got Bjorn's invitation to the "party". Legend!! 🎵😂🧡
The band was rad!👍 Björn was such a good sport!😂👍 Thanks to all the karaoke singer for being good sports too! 😁👍 That why I love karaoke. Everyone can partake! Swede here. Never seen any ABBA or any of the members live but I grew up with their music, ABBA but also their musicals and Benny Anderssons orchestra! To me they're musical geniuses! They're so cool! It also cool that they seem so nice too! Thank you for the music!
I'm glad that i live several thousand miles away from you in Long Beach Ca. At least i can relax because I pity the people who live around you. 😵they are not safe😳 You are so much fun Thanks
Bjorn should have found his motel key, held a note from his mum that excused him from playing round with these people and shook himself out of the danger caused by taking a chance on any of them lol. He just couldn’t have been paid enough for the suffering he endured. Hell we all endured. I had to watch till the end, just to make sure the poor bloke came out alive. Good sport Bjorn!😳🤣❤️
I was actually in the audience for this show and it was magical and what a legend Bjorn is
So cool!😎👍 Swedish person here, thst would bee so cool! Never met any ABBA members, but I grew up with their music! Love ABBA!
When was this filmed?
I imagine the cheering went on longer than we saw on TV am I right??
@@2FancyPants100 The Christmas shows are usually done about a month before they air.
So Yummy Mummy , Did Jane end up consuming that larger top and crisps ( chips , we call 'em in Australia 🇦🇺 ) ? 🤔
Bjorn is such a gentleman with a great sense of comedic timing too! I loved this skit!!
He feels very "Swedish". :)
He's a very funny guy .-)
What a class act. He was such a gem! 😂😂😂😂🥰
Those answers were not his obviously. But it doesn't matter, he's a legend, him just being there is awesome

I love that Bjorn has such a great sense of fun and is appreciative of the joy that ABBA music still brings people (even out of key). He was very generous with his comments.
He had me in the first half of the first guy.
Probably though out by writers, still think he's great though!
Oh, I just loved this! Well done, Mr. McIntyre. And what a good sport Bjorn is. So fun! Without music, we’d be utterly lost. ❤
Jane did so well! They are all champs for letting us have so much fun. You're all such likable people!
Bjorn was so kind, gracious and gentlemanly ☺️
Absolutely! So generous and forgiving!
ABBA were and are a CLASS ACT!
These are soo cringe-worthy and loads of fun to watch! The karaoke guests were such good sports! So nice that they get to go to the ABBA show now!
Björn giggling helplessly was so heart warming - what a sport. Luke was tops - loved his performance. All of them were fantastic fun
👏🎤🍺🤣
All hail King Bjorn I would have died if I'd been there, what an absolute legend and a great sport. So glad to see him getting a standing ovation that he more than deserves . ABBA forever

So Bjorn doesn't have a mean bone in his body? Because he was so sweet to all those singers.
I think when you reach THAT level, if you meet a person who still sings your song you really cannot be mean to them. Unless you are an ass**** of course.
@@floatingsara ideally thats true but then he probably has been shown these and his responses are pre thought-out.
@@homemail9653 Yes, they even pre thought out the amount of breathing, smiling and blinking. Bjorn was contractually obliged to exactly follow the pre though out second by second script, or else he wouldn't be paid his fee.
he did wrote a song presumble about hie exwife , Burning my bridges ,i guess he has momentum in life and dont like wishy washy people around him
Agnetha Bjorn Benny and Annafrid (Frida) ABBA
are worth £800 Million each due to the songs and the Mamma Mia movies i wouldnt think he was to
worried about some payment from the BBC .All four are lovely down to earth people with hearts of Gold
Love them all her especially Agnetha since the age of 10
I'm beyond ecstatic that back love
both songs especially Dont shut me down just fantastic pure ABBA
Michael McIntyre,
Thank you for the laughs, the jokes I'm hearing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a joke or a laugh, what are we?
So I say thank you for the comedy
For giving it to me.
So refreshing! Such silliness and simple laughter amongst this insane world!! Thanks!
People are so fun and lovely and Björn Ulvaeus is a great sport😁 Long live ABBA!❤
Funny funny funny! Everything Michael does is brilliantly hysterical!
I love Michael and his stand up, but here he probably has a team of writers that does it all! Just trying to give credit to the writers!
@@JaneDoe-ci3gj He must have a great team - I agree - his delivery is phenomenal!
Please bring back Michael Mcintyre's Big Show. It was such a big bag of fun and laughs!
I feel like anything with Michael Mcintyre can be described as such. You just cant help but smile just by seeing him. :D
The would needs more laughter right now. 🌍🌎🌏
I love his show. Especially the "send to all" 😁
new season has recently been announced!
@@jl5749 I swear my comment was deleted a yr ago! I thought that meant Michael didnt want it to come back. But yes, I saw recently that it IS coming back n I am very happy! 🤩
Luke was fabulous, my fav! But they were all great for being able to laugh at themselves, and share it with others. No better gift than that. ❤️
He looked like a cross between a chubby cherub and Ricky Gervais, and I like how he held his pinkie finger while singing, just as a little kid would. 12:33

Born is such a ;legend and he never put them down in any way - awesome,e fun
"Would you be Sam?"
"No mate. He's already gone."
I actually had anxiety for this guy as soon as he got picked out.
"That's it" reaction to the pub pic was priceless
Michael you do the Best Stuff. I adored seeing Bjorn! What a terrific sport he was
I used to work as a Karaoke host. This video almost gave me PTSD.
I did love working as a host, I don't really care whether people can sing or not, it's all about the emotion, as we say in Finland "kovaa ja korkealta" (loud and high).

@@eithyr tämä on juuri se karaoke asenne mitä tarkoitan.
@@miippi Haha
Michael you are the BEST comedian EVER! I LOVE YOU!!!
Well done to all those people who are prepared to have a go & have a laugh at themselves. The world would be a lesser place without them.
OMG Thank you so much for side splitting laughter. Cheers from Perth Western Australia

Me to
"because of course, ABBA have not reformed.."
Me, watching this in September 2021: "well well well"
Brilliant....well done all of them...loved Bjorn's responses too. Lol 😊
Probably prepared by writers, but I think he seems lovely all the same!😊
I never enjoyed a show as much as this😂😂😂 Bjorn is a such a gentleman.
Such a great sport right? I just love him!
@@alexr137 yes😊.
Absolute legends, both Bjorn and Michael❣️
Jane is 100% someone I'd wanna be friends with
Can I tell you how much fun we have as have as a family listening to Abba
Great to hear!😁👍
This was a lot of fun to watch! Also, Bjorn is just a lovely man.
Jane was hilarious! So funny! And Michael is just beyond likable!
My favorite was the women who ordered the pint with crisps while singing. I thought she should sell that to Catherine Tate's team. I would LOVE to see Catherine Tate do this as Nan.
Great idea!😂👍
Also my favourite ♥️
Disappointed she didn't drink a drop of the lager they her 😂
I just love him. I think he a genius comedian. So fn funny.
Bjorn is a legend and was a great sport to go along with this. He seems very modest considering the fantastic catalogue of hits that he co wrote. When was this filmed?
2019 I think.
Absolutely brilliant. I remember watching on the tv and it was just as funny this time around. Bjorn is such a sport and a great man. Thank you for the laughter Michael McIntyre.
Why did I watch this with my cracked ribs. So sore. So hysterical
Nothing will top that lady ordering beer 🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious and Bjorn is awesome.

So much fun! Kudos to all the karaoke people! And Bjorn, still a great personality!
🤣🤣 Brilliant! Thanks to all the brave hearts sharing their moments!
Bjorn is a hoot!! What a lovely gracious and funny man! xx
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life lol.
More of this please.
I nearly spat out my tea at Luke’s ‘yeah!!’
Liverpool Legend home of Beatles and fun people, never taking themselves too seriously
Great ~ Micheal always a BIG laugh
That guy Sam was mortified 😂 felt sorry for him, you can tell he was super nervous when Micheal approached him
It's always hard to be the first. You could see Alex and Jane being totally into it, as they knew they weren't the only one.
When Bjorn came out, he started looking for exits
@@DevinGates No, I think he was overwhelmed and couldn't believe that he was actually having an audience with Bjorn.
Smiled the whole way through
You've got such a great sense of humour Bjorn.👏👍
I got emotional when he walked out and he got a standing ovation! 🥲
Now Bjorn knows why a new album was essential. The world needs saving from karaoke.
I've never seen this show and now I have to watch all of them.
Just shows you that great great songs never die. The most underrated songwriters in the music world. But they are at the Top in my book
Such a great talent! I remember when they first appeared in the US, I was so jealous of those girls! How amazing that must of been to be in a amazing group as that! Love Abba!
Made my day, Mister!
My favourite comedian talking about my favourite band! I would kill to be judged by Björn. I thought all Welsh people could sing well, though! 😂
I thought Michael was dressed as Elvis.
Same
Great show. Nice we can watch for free on here. Thansk
Michael looked the part for ABBA fantastic, at least they tried to sing.
Take A Chance On Me is one of my favorite songs! The lady was so funny. I really like her. I would love to hang out and sing with her. We are about the same age and size. We could make magic happen. ❤️🌹❤️ This is a wonderful show! I love it! Bjorn is so wonderful to participate and be so kind to the singers. Love him! Michael McIntyre is a marvelous host.
0:16 "I didn't just suddenly have a buffet."😂
I love the way he says it to, boofet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pjsonthefloor 😂😂😂🙌 too good 😂😂😂
Loved Jane!
OMG, that was SO much fun!!! Thank you, what a great idea, I laughed so much! And I needed it so very much today (had some very bad news).
Aaaahh, Jane is such a legend!! How sweet she is
OMG! When I'm singing ABBA at karaoke in the future, I"m going to have to make sure no one is recording LOL.
Absolutely heartwarming ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you to all those wonderful "good sorts" - you were amazing.
Fantastic, you are!! The greatest ever Mc. the world has ever seen!
I love these segments. And the rewards are always massive. Topchef meals, legendary singer party's. Terrific fun
Love Michael's laugh. Impossible not to laugh along with him. My all time favorite comedian.
I love them…… i got that love from my Mom and Dad
The outfit speaks for itself XD It's spectacular and certainly reflects yourself.
That just made my morning. So much fun.
that outfit though Micheal. *chefs kiss*
Elvis Presley vibes 🤣
@@deborahclarke6415 OMG YESSSS
that was a fun show to watch. bjorn, is such a good guy. 💖
Jane was the best!!
Loved this skit- just so much lighthearted fun.
I didn’t even listen to ABBA, yet I’m so happy to find out they’re all still alive and well!!
What a way to start my day... watching this! So incredibly funny! So cool that they all were very good sports about being skewered. Super cool that they got Bjorn's invitation to the "party". Legend!! 🎵😂🧡
Luv your shows. So funnnnny😘😘
Bjorn looks amazing he has definitely aged well and still very handsome 😘
The band was rad!👍
Björn was such a good sport!😂👍
Thanks to all the karaoke singer for being good sports too! 😁👍
That why I love karaoke. Everyone can partake!

Oh my word, I love Bjorn! He is such a nice guy 😁
What lovely people! Such good sports!:)
as a fellow swede, yes, yes, yes,and yes, thats exactly why they came back
As a Swede who has actually been in that bar in Cardiff, this was so confusing :P
What a complete honour and pleasure to be in the company of one of the Four pop legends. This is becoming a religion :)
Luke - is it you? The awesome guy in this vid??
This must have been taped before the big announcement!
Everyone's such a good sport! Loving it ^^
I never thought I'd have so much fun watching this.
Jane was just so spot on. I loved that!
Oh my goodness! So much fun, my belly hurts!
It was worth it to be Bjorns guest
Bjorn should have found his motel key, held a note from his mum that excused him from playing round with these people and shook himself out of the danger caused by taking a chance on any of them lol.
