i still saw graham have a laugh to himself when france's vote announcer was in front of the eiffel tower since that's a running joke he does each year when he commentates where he goes 'is that paris? is that the eiffel tower? nooo' lmaoo
I'd thought we'd lose something by not having Graham commentating during the results this year as his reactions and comments are always hilarious but being able to SEE him this year, his visual reactions, links and faces to Hannah really made up for that, Mel was also a great addition.
I completely agree! Graham and his iconic commentary was why I started watching Eurovision in the first place so I was gutted knowing he wouldn’t be in the commentary box as much this year (although I’ve been rooting for the UK to win just so that he could finally get a chance to host!) But the moment they announced that he would be presenting the voting section (and with the queen that is Hannah Waddingham no less) I knew it was going to be amazing. Seeing him actually have to interact with the spokespeople was even funnier than him just slagging them off behind their backs 😭
Eurovision hosts *always* have a weird awkward energy about them, regardless of how they interact with each other. It's because Eurovision dictates that only people with a weird awkward energy are qualified to perpetuate its ancient reputation of awkwardness and corruption.
I think it's usually just down to at least 2/3rds of the hosts having to host in a language that is not their mother tongue.. speaking english is one thing but "acting", or being funny in a different language, that's much much more advanced.
@@JT29501 I'd agree with that. I think that's why Scandinavia does it so well, because they "get" British humour as a result of how widely English is spoken in that region.
Exactly! Much more natural. The hosts are usually the worst thing about Eurovision if you ask me - they are always soo artificial and awkard. Probably too terrified at the sheer number of people who are watching them live, to be able to relax. And the languages they aren't used to, like you say. So many times I've cringed at the rehearsed jokes and wished they'd just cut them, because they *never* come off as funny. This year, however, proved that it is possible within this concept to have good hosts who dare to show a little bit of who they are. Clearly the Brits can do this, at least in the case of people as experienced as Graham Norton.
@@monmothma3358 Other countries have some bilingual tv personalities, people who grew up in the USA or UK, comedians, people are quick witted in Engkish and used to crowd work - Eurovision needs to feature them as hosts!
How do you know they were scripted? Even if they were shows what a great performer they are. Before people criticise they should look at how badly its been done in the past 😊
@@old.not.too.grumpy. I know its scripted because I watched the jury show which was on Friday night and so I knew what jokes were coming up. And I'm not criticising. I said it was cute.

@@jelibi99 So in the Show „Ted Lasso“ Hannah plays the main lead, Rebecca Welton, who owns a football (soccer) club. Ted Lasso, the trainer, gives Rebecca every morning one single biscuit in a little box to gain her appreciation. The German moderator made a reference to that by offering her a biscuit in a box as well :)
For the non-Dutch speakers: 'goed' in goed gedaan [well done] in a particular Flemish accent sounds like 'hoed' [hat]. And Gustaph had the most wonderful hat. That's the joke, I wonder if even most Dutch viewers got it, but I'm sure it got a nice cringe from the Flemish viewers lmao.
@@violentbob ja je moet denk ik Nederlander die in Vlaanderen woont/heeft gewoond om die vertaalslag te maken hahaha, dit was mij voor ik hier kwam wonen ook niet opgevallen denk ik.
I was so confused as to why the German bloke offered Hannah waddingham a biscuit, wasn’t until I watched Ted Lasso over the weekend I was like “oh now I get it” 😂🤣😂
Honestly it’s so much funnier if you know Elton he’s kind of the weirdo/shy guy and if it looked like his little joke with the biscuit made him nervous, that’s probably because it did
@@LA90598 and you think that it costs 200 million to stage the Eurovision? Really? You must know some cheap stage companies then because I can assure you, it still costs more than that.
Honestly, this year has been all over the place, but at least the four of them made the 'funny' jokes a little less awkward and a little more believable lol
I don’t think it’s in this clip but I loved when the audience had another round of shouting “cha cha cha” I’m sure Graham after having to endure it again said something along the lines of “yes we know you like that one”
I loved Hannah immediately after she shutted these dumbos who booed Italy down with "no booing not in our house". She was the only one who finally said anything against that. Because thats so disrespectful
It was definitely not because he was gay. Are you serious? This is Eurovision. 90% of the audience are gay. It was due to the consistent voting for your neighbour. The audience usually do the same to Greece and Cyprus. Disrespectful? I don't think so. I think it's more disrespectful to cheat by always voting for your neighbour.
@@lukesoddlife Ireland's jury person this year was Niamh who narrowly won Sonia in Eurovision in 1993. I believe Niamh won by one point and the final jury that year decided who would win so it was a nail-biting moment when they said "and finally... Ireland"
The Brits should host every year. Honestly, this was the most classy AND hilarious Eurovision show I've seen. They did not take it too seriously and instead made fun of some of the cringe that this show always provides
@@in_wino_veritas hey, eurovision is fabulous and a little messy though, it's not serious and that's why we love it- i always think it doesn't matter who wins to enjoy it
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 they definitely didn't do it on purpose, plus, if a song sucked and only got 5 or 9 televote points, it was definitely because their songs sucked and the vocals were off, not the fault of the broadcaster at all. But could there be songs that would have gotten more televote points with a better slot in the running order? Definitely. And just to be clear, I don't think, there was much rigging going on, there was no intention behind it, only that eg the Top 3 of sf2 would have gotten more televoting points, if they had a better slot in the running order. I know, the second semi-final was the weaker one, but come on, 21 points for Australia, 16 points for Austria? Poland wasn't that robbed with 81 but given the fact that it was the 4th or 5th most watched video in this competition and is among the Top 5 most streamed Eurovision 2023 songs on Spotify tells me, that it could have gotten over a hundred points, if her spot in the running order was better. Maybe even 150. This running order was just messy and the people creating it didn't do a great job.
Thanks for this! I missed a lot of their reactions. Graham and Hannah were brilliant and, yes, Mel was fine too. A lot didn't seem to like her but I enjoyed her commentary
This Norwegian finds Hannah and Graham (and the third gal) the best hosts Eurovision's had for many years. Great chemistry. Managing to be themselves and natural even though they're under pressure. (Geez, just show that you're nervous, like Hannah does, nobody's going to judge you!) Actually funny, not awkward, rehearsed funny. Well. We'll get Petra this year, so the contrast won't be all that big. I'll consider voting for the UK only to get this quality hosting back!!
It's funny how when that voter sung loreens song to show who they voted for, the commentator didn't know what song it was... You'd think the "winner" would be memorable
Very moving to hear an a predominantly scouse audience give the Irish Jury a huge roar. Bigger than Ive ever heard from a UK based eurovision. Liverpool has links to Ireland and in particlar Dublin and vice versa. One of friendliest cities in the world 🇮🇪
I thought Eurovision was brilliant this year and it definitely absolutely had nothing to do with the fact that im a lesbian and Hannah was speaking french
I can see the UK is most into the "meme culture," they brought out a lot of old gags and familiar faces, plus the crowd's reaction to things like Greece's jury vote and France's background.
i still saw graham have a laugh to himself when france's vote announcer was in front of the eiffel tower since that's a running joke he does each year when he commentates where he goes 'is that paris? is that the eiffel tower? nooo' lmaoo

I think we need to petition for a camera in his commentary box next year so we can watch him as well as the rest of the show
Mel ruined the results by constantly talking
For me I prefer Graham to be in his booth and not being visible.
As for Hannah,she was so annoying.
