@@TheAstroflight--Notice that NONE of those "women" stated that they were raped or filed a police report at the time/ The alleged events supposedly occurred during a time when women were NOT being shamed by defendants and lawyers as was true prior to the 1960s. The "swingers" era (Cosby's cohort was on the leading edge of it) was a free-wheeling time, coinciding with "sex and drugs and rock n roll". Those women were willing to trade sex for assistance with their careers. Keep that in mind.

trf12567 English accents are not higher than American ones, British people just tend to use more pitch. They usually have a more sing-song way of speaking, while Americans start sentences high, end them low and rarely deviate. Using a wider variety of pitches might give you the illusion it’s higher. I certainly tend to go higher when mimicking an American accent though, I tend to go for the whiney Valley-girl cliche

If the punchline of the story is true, then this is an old South African joke too. Considering it was a South African handler, I would guess the guy used the punchline of that joke on Hugh. It is a joke about the safari survival guide on dangerous animals. It goes through two or 3 genuine sounding survival tips to throw you off the scent of it being a joke. Then the punchline is the Lion one.

It's fascinating how easily he talks about this "experience", how amasingly he changes expressions and postures, and voice tones, how he pauses and looks around, so spontaneously, so convincing. That's what a great actor does.
My deceased brother looked so much like Hugh, right down to the mannerisms, any time l miss him, l look at Laurie clips!
This show works so well additionally because the guests are all on the couch at the same time, and they have either worked with or met each other at some stage and it’s totally unfiltered and they get liquored up back stage to relax them. Graham Norton is King of Chat shows and long live the King 👏👏

I love this talkshow. It's the best one out there. They let their guest talk and its always fun good humored stuff. Just stories about weird things that happened or goofy things. It's not whos dating who or who's slept with who. Its just wholesome fun that makes it feel like friends just hanging out on a couch rather than celebrities being interviewed. I love it 😀 😍
Why are all the British guests wonderful story tellers? The timing of delivering the point is so good, before that you have no idea what would come.
I think Hugh Laurie is brilliant. Such an amazing actor.
So much talent on one couch. Absolutely delighted that Robert Downey Jr. has come back so strong.
