When Desilu productions started Desi ran the studio. It wasn’t until they divorced that Lucy took over the studio. Lucy stated numerous times she would reach out to Desi who basically taught her how to run the day to day business of the studio. I used to work for Universal Studios Hollywood and for a long time they had a mini museum of I ❤️ Lucy and her overall career. Sadly Desi doesn’t get some of the create he deserves. For example using multiple cameras when shooting they used three on I love Lucy was his idea. Even though he was an alcoholic he was brilliant as well. They made great TV together. BTW I got to see Lucy on the Johnny Carson show back in the day and she was just as funny live.
The celebrity pairing that kinda was on the show and was just super-sweet to see (because they were genuinely respectful of each other and it seemed there was still some genuine affection) was Liam Nelson and Helen Mirren. Loved that episode.
Dustin Hoffman is very much the jokester. During the filming of Rain Man, he told an 'off-color' (rude) joke which required him to run back and forth with his arms in the air. They were filming along a highway. Dustin tripped, slid for several yards. Ended up in the hospital as they picked gravel out from his wound.
For the bankrobbing Id go with Keanu, but hed probably convince me not to do it and Id be like "dammit I knew I shoudlve brought early 2000s Robert Downey jr!" Then Keanu would say calmly as he puts his hand in my shoulder "you dont have to do this" And Id say "aah dammit youre right, oh hell I can't stay mad at you man!" Then hell say "come on, lets go grab a bite, how about a sandwich" And Id answer"you read my mind Keanu, you read my mind"
I seriously would have loved to see him interview Groucho Marx actually. Groucho Marx was a very complex personality, on the one hand chaos personified and always ready with a come back, on the other also a voraciously intelligent auto-didact and very well-read, with a number of published works. I think Marx would do very well with Graham's interview style.
Those people must be trolling, but I don’t get it: why do they think it’s fun to make life uncomfortable for a TV production crew? They’re just being huge a-holes.
Then there is Jennifer Lopez, who allegedly had a two-page list of demands that were sent to every hotel and studio before her arrival in 2007. The leaked documents included a large number of Jo Malone candles and exact room temperatures. She also required all-white everything, and I mean everything - right down to the couches, drapes, and flowers on display. Elsewhere, Jen’s reported rider requested an extra room for her wardrobe. In fact, when she joined the BBC for an interview she is said to have asked for multiple extra rooms as she wanted enough dressing rooms for her entire 90-person entourage.
@@kepckatherinec805 Maybe... but I've also heard people often put some ridiculous requests into contracts to make sure the whole contract was really read. So if you come in and the room temps aren't right, is there something truly important they missed? And I am no JLo fan! Just things I've heard. I actually kinda like the all white one too when you think of what's been reported about how dirty hotel rooms really are! 😂
Lucille Ball famously said that, in one business negotiation a man said to her that she was so tough, they'd apparently left the *"S"* off of her last name... 😏
I don’t think anyone genuinely wants a dressing room to charge their phone, I just think they probably found out that another guest had 9 rooms and they needed to be the person that had the most. It’s literally just show you’re a ‘big’ enough star to ask for whatever you ‘want’.
I'm 90% sure he told that story before in reference to Madonna, or at the very least there is an old interview out there where he mentions who it was by name,
"Colin Farrell knows his way around robbing a bank" xD
Love Lucille Ball, not just for her own work as an actress but also for her work as a TV producer which helped launch several influential careers.
She also saved star trek. The original pilot was rejected and she used her influence/power to get a second made.
@@kthp2343 Yeah, that was one of the biggest examples.
She was an absolute bitch according to those who knew her.
@@kthp2343My life would be useless without Star Trek!

I've heard Mariah Carey has had seperate dressing rooms to charge her phone on other shows, so wouldn't surprise me if it was her :D

I’d rob a bank with Miriam M. Such fun!
Same. Charlize Theron would be driving.
That was the exact name that popped into my head when the question came up!
I can see that working out very badly or very well.
But a hoot, either way!
With her track record, the newspaper is going to name her Miriam "Bonnie" Escobar.
whoever needed +9 extra dressing rooms just to charge a phone needs to be outed and shamed
Graham is such a genuine person
For bank robberies, I was thinking (young) Clint Eastwood or Jason Statham.

Charming man.
Can’t believe he didn’t chose Dolly Parton to Rob a bank with. That would have been fun and they’d definitely have got away with it.
Ahh love him!
Mariah Carey I think is the dressing room story
Now when i think about it, that does sound like something she would do. I imagined rihanna tho
Or Madonna
Those people must be trolling, but I don’t get it: why do they think it’s fun to make life uncomfortable for a TV production crew? They’re just being huge a-holes.
It could be JLo or Madonna, Mariah has never been in TGN.
I posted a part of the article saying it was JLo @@delilah28100

Maybe she's the one Graham is alluding to without saying her name.

@@JW-vd4ilMy dad was an agent for 65 years and his favorite person to book was Jay Leno. The only thing in his rider was a chair for onstage. 😂
@@JW-vd4il They might miss something truly important because of all the other unimportant, superfluous, narcissistic fluff in the contract.
I'm not his biggest fan, but if you don't say Tom Cruise as the person to rob a bank with, you're simply wrong.
I guessed Colin Farrell before he said it, hahahaha.
Lucille Ball famously said that, in one business negotiation a man said to her that she was so tough, they'd apparently left the *"S"* off of her last name... 😏
I'm not Zendaya, but I've read Graham's novels and they're very good!

The 9 dressing room I would bet is Madonna
has to be Madonna, my goddess since '84 but diva from hell
I'm 90% sure he told that story before in reference to Madonna, or at the very least there is an old interview out there where he mentions who it was by name,
So you want Jen to deal with his addictions.
Ugh don't put Jen back with Brad, he's the worst
Oh are you acquainted with him?😶
Haha ❤❤🎉🎉
I love hearing his real voice! And not the “play-gay” falsetto he needs for the show. What a star!
He's still quite camp even in this video.
@@fromthefountofyouth Well that's just Graham though, he's camp through and through.
Madonna?
Or J.Lo
no it was mariah carey hahaha
Yeh, I heard it was Mariah Carey too
@@shadesuthida7225 Mariah hasn't been in the show in person, her only appearance was through a video call in 2020.
@@miguela.6155she was in person when he had his show on channel 4. This was ages ago
The celeb with the 9 dressing rooms, was Taylor Swift.
I think Mariah Carey, or just low
Since they've only been in once & Taylor a few times I think
Mariah Carey has asked for this other times, as far as I've heard, so my bet is her :)
That's so random. She doesn't even have the reputation of being a diva at all like Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and such.
Why doesn't Norton support Glinner?
Shame on you.
Because Graham is part of the LGBT community, and we stick together. Glinner is *not* part our community. Understand?
@lc1715 No... none of this tomfoolery makes any sense.
youtube sucks shit...
Oh god, Dustin Hoffman was a total CRINGE fest.
The only appearance I saw was he & his wife there to flog her perfume & cosmetics.
I guess superlative mean something else in English. :(
"Strangest", "Most" were some _superlatives_ used in this video.
@@fromthefountofyouth
And used that much they lose their significance, see.
Don't tell us stories if you can't tell us who the guest was. Pointless.
Obviously he can't say the name, or his show would get cancelled Tom, nobody would be willing to go
I’m guessing Michael Jackson for the single room charger.🫥
he's never been on the show😂
