Jimmy's totally confused "what?" at 6:02 is hilarious no matter how many times I watch this. James was great during the entire program btw, and his jump-scare when one of the guests asked a question on video was hilarious. xD

James almost "killing" Maya was the best part of the BGF... Until David started to talk about Dunkirk... Definitely Dunkirk.

love the synchronisation on "he married a toilet" 😂

love that he's just calling himself Iconic like. the vibes are immaculate sir

David with Dunkirk: "Is it the answer that's wrong...or the question?"

The way Joe laughs at 1:16 while looking at James is priceless!

Stacey Solomon saying time is a construct made my week. 😁

I think if Maya complimented me, albeit in a non-romantic way, that would be all the sugar rush I would need

James is one of those guys that you can invite to any show and he will make it better.

James doesn't edit these, so fair enough to call it iconic

Can we take a moment to appreciate David's noise of pure discombobulation at 6:25 ?

a duo we didn’t know we needed

the james and maya dynamic is something i never thought i needed as badly as i did

I love the sheer self-confidence to include himself into the fan favourites, and in third person no less In all honesty, the description below the title also refers to him as a separate party, even though the tense suddenly came to first person with "Visit *my* website etc,.." It looks like that could simply be a copypasta for his social media links, though

Never in a hundred years would I have put these two together but I am obsessed, I love James Acaster
