American Guest Stars


I know many British and American stars have been making rounds abroad(both directions) for years but I am still surprised to see so many big name American stars as guests on this show.

I see this on BBC America (A U.K. variety-talk show that I haven't heard of before [And also never heard of Graham Norton]and I was surprised to see that his British audience knew Mickey Rourke and Jessica Biel[who I saw on his show first)

Then I kept seeing all these other American stars like Matt LeBlanc--Donald Sutherland(English but also an American for years)--then P.Diddy and Vince Vaughan.

Some of these stars I never think about being on a show together here in America(because they're so different from each other)--but seeing them sitting together on Graham Norton's stage(across the sea in another country)looks a little odd.And seeing that the U.K. audience knows our American stars so well has been enlightening and amusing. I would have thought he would only have U.K. stars and maybe an occasional American star-if at all--but he has them on all the time.

I also like how he has them sit there through the whole show(like Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas used to do in the 70's)-It has a party-like atmosphere.

I'd like to see others they advertised--one with Daniel"Harry Potter" Radcliffe and I think he was with Colin Farrell and one with Rhianna.

It always surprises me how surprised Americans are to learn how pervasive their culture is in other countries.

You have to understand the majority of Americans don't travel worldwide, we don't get foreign shows piped in and re-dubbed, and you have to have selected 'packages' from service providers to get 'other than English' programs, which are mostly in Spanish, anyway.

BOHICA America!
