being a regular watcher of The Graham Norton Show, i can attest to Alan's statement that _that is_ the cleanest story from Miriam 😆

I'm an American who absolutely loves Graham Norton so I'm completely aware of who Miriam is. She's is a treasure and everything that comes out of her mouth is hilarious and dirty at the same time. You seriously could not predict what she will say. Also, Alan is such an accomplished actor, so well rounded and jovial. Gotta love him...

Miriam is such an icon I adore her, and I could listen to Alan Cummings tell stories all day.
Alan is an excellent story teller. And an excellent actor. One of Scotland's finest.
Both Alan and Miriam are icons.hugely enjoy their banters.Many thanks.
Alan is the BEST in all he does! Genuine talent and that mad twinkle in his eyes. When it comes to Alan…more, more, MORE! ❤️🇨🇦
I screamed out loud when this trailor for the show dropped. Alan Cummings role is sublime. I can't recommend the show enough.
That story makes me love Miriam 100x more
My memory of Miriam was on the Richard and Judy show. They were talking about the menopause and Richard said "You will understand these problems, won't you Miriam. She replied "not really dear, I'm still moist down there" Poor Richard nearly choked.
Miriam is a treasure, one of the funniest women and best story tellers, I wish I could meet her one day and there's not a lot of celebs I give a flip about meeting but I'd love to see her in person.
Always love seeing Alan Cumming, and Miriam Margolyes.
His imitation of Miriam is so good.
I love Alan Cumming! He’s SO funny!

Read his book. Very interesting autobiography. Also, his "Who Do You Think You Are" episode.
Alan Cumming and Miriam Margolyes: the two funnest people on the planet. It was absolute genius to pair them up. Just finished the first season (series) and have thoroughly enjoyed the tour but, even more, I felt like I was in the company of two amazing human beings.
Brilliant wonderful talented Alan! I love to watch Miriam and Alan on Graham Norton. Uncensored and fabulous!
Had the great pleasure of seeing him as Emcee in Cabaret at the Donmar Warehouse many years ago. He was absolutely brilliant.
So appreciate all the work Alan Cumming has done over the years to raise awareness of the harms of circumcision. The foreskin is a healthy, sensitive, functional body part -- and thus it is not REALLY open to "parental preference" as a body part for removal, just as no parts of the female genital anatomy should be removed at the request of a parent. It's so easy to see the questionable practices of other cultures, and so easy to accept the common practices of our own as "no big deal." But genital surgery of healthy infants... that's one that's WORTH a second look.
There's a reason this man (in his Cabaret MC incarnation) is my screensaver. He's the epitome of Puckish sexiness.

When gay men first got into comedy like Paul Lynde or Charles Nelson Reilly, like Alan they didn't become popular by flaunting their homosexuality but by being extremely clever and witty. We've come a long way since Oscar Wilde and thank goodness for them. If I see Alan, I watch it.
I saw BURN in Glasgow in August. Utterly incredible play and Cumming’s performance is a tour de force. Go see it if you get the chance. Phenomenal!
I love full circle stories. Humble and immensely talented man.
I see Miriam Margolyes and I click.
I love his character Eli Gold he's just amazing I don't anybody else could play him. He's such a great actor.

It’s so hard to think of Alan Cumming in anything but Cabaret. Still remember the first time I saw anything with him - he did a song from Cabaret on Rosie O’Donnell’s show. And I fell in love ❤️

Back in the early/mid nineties (I think?) Alan played an air steward in a sitcom called ‘The High Life’ here in Scotland, and his character in that is still all I can think about when I see him!
Could listen to him speak for hours!
Simply love Alan Cumming ever since I saw him in Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver, years ago. Love you too Seth.
I adore him every since Xmen. I hated when they canceled his TV show. Glad to see him again.
Did Seth just get _very_ nervous about how far Alan would take his M.M. story? 😁😄
Lovely man, just fabulous! Adore Alan Cumming.
I dated Alan breifly in the 2000's. Super nice guy, was a fun little whirlwind!
'My old school' is brilliant! Very unique film!
He's slowly turning into my aunt who's into pottery.
Alan Cumming has been a vocal intactivist for years and I'm glad to see him (circuitously) condemning circumcision on TV! Does anyone know the scoop on the book he wrote about the subject? It seems like there as a lot of hype building up to its release, but then it vanished? Or maybe I'm wrong. I always wondered if he somehow got bullied into not releasing it, or the publisher decided it was too risky a subject?

Seth, this was nearly a flawless interview. But I’m sorry to say you messed up. You called Miriam Margolyes an “actor”. I saw a live interview of the divine M.M. on “The Last Leg”, an achingly funny chat show on Channel 4 in the UK. She corrected the host, Adam Hills. She prefers to be called an actress.
Ah dam awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻love ❤
I also agree with Alan on routine infant circumcision. It's a disgusting practice and the sooner it stops the better.
He will always be Floop to me 😍
I f*#king LOVE Miriam!😍
Correction: you said that’s Alan Cumming but he’s clearly a Loki variant from the Sweaterverse. Do better, Seth.
Smegma is hilarious. It's very funny.
Been a fan of his since Circle of Friends
I love Miriam
I want Alan’s jumper!
I want to see Margolis and Fred Armisen in a joke-off, in a setting where no one else is telling jokes. Like a hostage negotiation, maybe.
Miriam rules👍🤣
If you want some awesome Miriam Moygles, Graham Norton has some great clips! She’s pretty much a foul mouthed gran. It’s hilarious!
Alan looks like a mix between Eric Idle, Weird Al Yankovic and John Cussack

Seriously? If you can’t understand Alan in this interview then I respectfully suggest you listen to more people with accents that differ from your own, cause it’s a big wide world out there and Alan’s accent here isn’t even very broad (note how everyone else seems to understand him).

It's a great joy that 81-year-old Jewish legend Miriam Margolyes has come around about infant male genital cutting. (Maybe it was Alan Cumming's forthright advocacy that did it.) BUt shovelling smegma? One man doesn't produce enough in a week to fill a coke spoon!
