Sounds similar to the behaviour of Kayvan Novak on the Paul O'Grady show the other week. It's just basic manners to keep quiet when another guest is being interviewed.
If you're going to have a comedian on a chat show, the last thing you'd expect them to do is keep quiet. What's the point otherwise?
Just watched it on IPlayer, was definitely a slightly off atmosphere, but nothing huge.
I agree that he almost, or sort of used the F bomb, as described just before the 21.00 minute mark, was not aimed at the presenters though, was aimed at his discomfort in the chair.
I do think the bit where he said he felt he was being patronised was half serious, I think he could see the show wasn't going too well, but I don't think he was That serious, if that makes any sense.
I can see a couple of issues why there was an odd atmosphere from the start of the show.
1.-Very odd start to the show, with Michael walking on to almost silence, as the audience were holding "teeth placards", so couldn't clap (was made a point of). I can deffo understand McIntyre being put off by this, as applause and laughter is what a comedian craves. Was strange seeing him walking on to about two people clapping.
2.- Then they had a very serious / sad story about migrants turning up on Kos beach...and then were straight to "funnyman" McIntyre... Blimey, don't know how anyone could have been jolly after that, was daft scheduling within the show.
I am not a particular fan of McIntyre, nor of Stewart Lee, both are reasonably amusing / unamusing to me in almost equal measure. (much prefer Herring, the guys a trier ), best comic for me is Doug Stanhope.
I am glad to say he didn't do a "Multiple Miggs"
I was intrigued so watched skipping to bits with him and it was hardly that big a deal.
I am not a fan of his comedy albeit he is good at what he does. He is quite annoying on
chat shows with his somewhat hyper attention seeking style but they surely know what
to expect.
It did sound like he said f*cking but it was mumbled so easy to miss or could have been
something similar but not actually that. I think the tension stemmed from the fact that he
wouldn't shut up which is always tricky on this show as they are always jumping from
item to item under tight time constraints. Both presenters certainly seemed to be getting
annoyed by him but overall not a big deal.
BIB I saw Richard Herring a few years ago doing one of his stand up shows and he was
absolutely amazing. If you want comedy with depth that is also hilarious he is one of the best.
No but the poster claiming he was rude explained what he was supposed to have done and it didn't sound rude at all to me.
I don't know about you but I was raised not to talk over someone when they're already engaged in mid conversation to somebody, ie butting-in without excusing yourself.
That's bad manners.
LOL - just caught this thread & I see as usual Dalekwotsit is still being a total dilussional idiot over the dick head, McIntyre. The ridiculous comments from him (Dalekwotsit) gave me a giggle even if up his own backside McTiring's didnt

You were very accurate in your review. McIntyre is not the ideal chat show guest, but he is good value usually. The hosts do the best of a bad job, they can be patronizing, also they panic if someone goes off script or runs over time. When McIntyre went into full flow - Matt tapped him to explain the Dentist was going to talk about his show - when in fact the dentist was joking himself about wisdom tooth removal and using a whiteness measurer. Alex then did another patronizing remark - suggesting McIntyre would remain quiet..
It was certainly not their most awkward interview, what they both need to do is research their guests better - they have about 15 minutes on air (removing the VT inserts) so they ought be bang on every time. Alex & Matt don't really have a personality for tv, so give them someone outgoing - they will struggle every time.
But you didn't think he was rude before anyone even said what was done or said. No matter what was said or not said your mindset was he was not rude.
There could be footage of McIntyre spitting in Alex Jones' face yesterday and Dalekbuster would still say "well that doesnt sound like the sort of thing that he would do".
" But the footage of him spitting in her face was aired on tv to millions ? Did you see it ?"
Dalekbuster - "No I did'nt see it myself, but that does'nt sound like the sort of think Michael McIntyre would do, therefore it did'nt happen. Your all jelous".

Well, it probably hasn't done The One Show any harm. I rarely watch it, but I'm going to have to take a look on iplayer just to see what people are talking about.
As it goes, I used to quite like Michael McIntyre when he first appeared on the scene, but he does seem to have gone a bit stale recently. They say comedians are generally the most insecure people in show business, comedy is tough and they're only as good as their last appearance.

I would have thought they would have discussed the dentist sequence earlier so it would not have been unexpected. He must have agreed to take part in it but then tried to divert the piece to being about him.
There is a difference between keeping quiet and being respectful
There are plenty of real comedians who appear on chat shows and can behave well whilst promoting whatever they are there for and making the audience laugh.

Doesn't bode well for their comedy career, then. Unless it's someone like Stephen Fry, Frank Skinner or Bill Bailey, who are going down the 'intelligent' mature humour route.
It's an interesting concept for guests to appear on a chat show, whilst at the same time doing their day job. I'm expecting Greg Rutherford next week, along with his sand-pit.

Yes, and Tom Jones is going to sing his answers to Grahams questions next time he is on.
Maybe Jamie Oliver could bring a little camping stove and place it in front of him and rustle something up as he is being interviewed.
And then he randomly appeared on the Royal Variety.
No-one just randomly APPEARS on the Royal Variety show without at least some pretty significant media connections or at least middling success, so the idea this entitled, millionaire born to a wealthy, media connected family is somehow a triumphant figurehead and example of the hard-done-by working man trying to break into comedy is a little laughable frankly.
But then I'm just jealous of his success... what would I know...

Serious question. Are you a grown man ?
Just wondering.

He may have been in character but why say it in the first place?
It's a bit of a lame excuse IMO and his opinion that McIntyre spoke as if he was 'the mayor' reeks of jealousy in my opinion.

I'm not biased by the hatred that some seem to share for Michael McIntyre.

I'm 19, so yes.
You don't hire a comedian to just sit and do how he's told. That would be boring. Michael McIntyre wasn't being rude, he was just doing his job.

Well that explains a lot.
You seem to have an obsession with "jealousy". You are fixated with McIntyres wealth, his "talent" (lol) his dvd sales, how many gigs he sells out.
It would appear that you my friend are the one who is jealous of him. Why are you so obsessed ?
Beat me to it
