Your moment of much needed levity and sweetness this Thursday morning.

I have a friend who often sends me clips of Graham Norton's show, which I always enjoy and usually laugh uproariously all the way through.

However THIS one which features Welsh comedian Greg Davies, English actress Miriam Margolyes, and the very talented Will.i.am, was just so incredibly sweet and entertaining that I felt you would all enjoy it as much as I did.

Yes I know it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the things we usually talk about, but don't you think we deserve a kindness break once in awhile?

By the way if you are trying to remember just when you first started to really like Will.i.am, I think I can help you to remember. Was it about the time that this video first came to your attention?

    That was hilarious! I love Graham Norton shows, and Miriam Margolyes is just precious in this. I do hope that she and Will.i.am will "kick it some more. Right-o!"

    He's great in every way. He was on Top Gear (the BBC) a while back, and quite interesting. I think Jeremy was gobsmacked at his awesomeness and the many ways that he's a real guy trying to do good things, and pretty serious too.

    Best Will.i.am video ever? Check this out

    How is it that the Sesame Street puppets have such great rhythm?

    I watch alot of BBC....and this show is always worth recording. I have read alot about Will and he is such a great human being, truly giving back so much to everyday people. I remember him on Oprah committing to 6 girls college tuition, all 4 years and money for books, etc. This STEM program is awesome in every way and he does support the prez in a big way. However, all that being said, I never saw him like this...and I agree how sweet and funny he is. I love the British sense of humor and have never seen a boring GN show. Thanks for the post.

  4. My moment of levity comes from the fact that with an even bigger lead in audience from Dance Moms (2.1M this week) even MORE people left Bristol's show than last week (1.6 million couldn't stomach it). And for the next half hour 150,000 more left! I'll bet Lifetime is getting ready to fire people over this steaming pile of shite.

    That was brilliant!! I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying.

    Love Miriam. She appears so kind and warm and caring -- yet so naive on many fronts!!

    I do hope that Will.i.am does something with her. Don't know what -- but I hope something. That would be brilliant. She would champion him in a heartbeat!!

  6. Thanks, G.

    My daughter kept asking me why I was laughing...."Why do grownups laugh so much at stuff little kids don't?"

    And I just couldn't explain.

    But I embarrass her daily, so nothing new there.

    Nice to see black rappers can be humanitarians, too, right?

    Oh, what a beautiful morning, thanks to both the Norton video and the Yes We Can one.
    We need more altruistic people like will.i.am.

    I first started liking Wil.I.Am when his manager punched Perez Hilton in his hypocratic face.

    Fell in love with Miriam Margolyes in the mid 90's when she played a lead role in one of the stupidest movies I ecer saw - Ed and his Dead Mother. She and Ned Beatty stole the show and I highly recommend to anyone if you've never seen this movie, dig it up and watch it.

    Will.I.am and Mir.I.am would make a brilliant comedy team!

    Thanks for this clip Gryph -

    I love Graham Norton! We're huge fans of all the brit coms as well. Loved the Will i am and Will all Ears line. Miriam is a sweetheart!

    Will i am is someone I truly admire. He uses his art in so many creative ways and he gives back big time. STEM sounds like a fantastic program for our girls especially.
    Thanks for the laughs!
