    I really like how Graham Norton and his audience listen to Jamie Fox share his story. Graham listens the whole time, shows his engagement, and brings the topic up in the most courteous and interested way. And the audience’s silence and well-timed applause impressed me bc if this was an American talk show (which is more like 99% comedy bits and party games), the American audience would probably laugh inappropriately. Or the host would interrupt or say something in a fake manner

      @Sudhir Kakar I think it is very rude of you to comment your own perception directly to this person who clearly is much affected by his/her father being in jail. If you yourself have an 'idiot father' I am sorry you're hurt by it and feel the need to project that to others, but if you're just trying to be an analytical smartass then go write an essay about it somewhere else instead of attacking this person (and his/her father) who you know NOTHING about.

      Yeah. Me, too. I remember being told to walk down this long hallway. I did. I didn’t know what to do though, there was no one around. I opened the door the hallway lead to. I was stunned. I opened the only door and it was like being in a movie. The light were fimmed. I felt like I was in a movie. Everything looked high tech. There was a row of glassed FCU licked where you sit don and the inmate meets you on the other side. Maybe 6. Yet I was the only person there. No guards. No inmates and visitors sitting across from each other. I was bewildered. I walked to the last ‘booth’ and I could see the cells. Maybe 4 stories. And it was so quiet.
      Then , my pops hobbles in eventually. It was s shocking. He became so sick there. He wasn’t being given his medication . He’d aged 10 years in just a week. He was so mistreated by the guards. He was in his mid seventies. It was his death sentence. Myrdal fallen asleep behind the wheel. Prescription medication and alcohol. Not a high amount of alcohol by any means, year there was some in his system.
      When I saw him I barely recognized him. I wasn’t able to save his life. But that moment of seeing him, so worn down. Suck. Taken for granted and advantage of. I died a little bit that day. He sat in his chair. I opposite. And we did what you see in movies. Put our hands against each other through the glass, both with tears streaming downs our cheeks. I know he was so ashamed. I was …. Devastated. My pops.
      He looked at me with this look I am not going to try to describe. And he said, Hey Tiger.
      Hey Pops. I love you.
      My life and his, they changed that day.
      I understand.

      You are right Micheal Tinney, your comment made me curios, so i checked and his grandfather and grandmother adopted him from his parents, his grandfather died when he was 17, his grandmother brought him up, and he had a strained relationship with his father, funny how every story on the web of his father if from 2019,2020.
      His father might live with him now; but as of 2014, he was still stranged from his father, so i can only conclude that he REALLY is a talented actor. No disrespect to anyone, i was just curios

You expect me as a white person Pnot to judge you by the color of your skin then you must do the same. Where I come from I dont see any priviledge my dad has done time and for way more than 7 years!! You take people from everywhere they come from dont assume or judge based on the color of their skin or the accent in their speech.
