This is why as an American viewer, I believe that Graham Norton is one of the best... if not THE BEST TV interviewer today. Nothing in the US compares. He knows when to interject, but most importantly knows when to shut up.

My man spoke his heart out. That pause though is very emotional.

[nasimab]

“I see you as a king” can see that love and hurt in his eyes. Raw moment

[gizmostudioshd]

I love the fact, that everyone had the decency, and respect, to allow Jamie that pause.

[michallach]

It's probably the first time I see Jamie so serious, and definitely first time so emotional...
Beautiful speech

[Aswinishere]

He would never tell that story to Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy would be like HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Techyguruandy]

American talk show hosts...take note. Letting the guests actually speak, this is how it's done.

This is so raw of a moment, I’m glad they let him say what he needed to say, no interruptions/added comments/attempts to fill the silence. Every second Jamie took to tell his story was necessary. Everyone needs to hear this and go watch the movie too

[palsp]

That's the most emotional anyone has ever been on Graham.

I really like how Graham Norton and his audience listen to Jamie Fox share his story. Graham listens the whole time, shows his engagement, and brings the topic up in the most courteous and interested way. And the audience’s silence and well-timed applause impressed me bc if this was an American talk show (which is more like 99% comedy bits and party games), the American audience would probably laugh inappropriately. Or the host would interrupt or say something in a fake manner

The way he said he saw his father as a king and the way he paused afterwards almost made me cry. I saw my father in jail when I was young and I cam honestly say it hurts but it's not regular pain its something different something I've never been able to describe and I still remember it now

This is the first time I’ve seen the Graham Norton show so serious but it was so powerful. When Jamie was speaking the crowd was dead silent and so respectful. Wow, just goes to show how much corruption in the justice system there is.

[whiteyyswiss]

I'm not crying, you're crying ...

[ajchromatic]

Bless Graham Norton for being a host who can read his guests.

[Koojay]

Thank you Mr. Norton, for not interrupting him.
He always knows when to be silent.

[WaniZame]

Foxx is a masterful storyteller. One of the best speakers out there. Holds a sentence like no one else.

[achatwithdaron]

The way he paused, told us he was fighting back the tears. So powerful.

[devontef.]

When he paused, he wanna just tear up right there believe me. Glad life is back on track for over 20 years and still going good

[isaako]

Nothing in this world can compare to Jamies pause talking about his father. The silence from the crowd and him is pure emotion.

Jamie Foxx has never been this emotional and sincere. Only on GRAHAM NORTON 👍
