Xan Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I am surprised no one has started a topic on the show as yet, so I will. GB was really funny and looked amazing. He was clean shaven which was a bit of a surprise, but a nice one. I loved the bit about his Scottish accent and how he has trouble pronouncing "murdered" in American. A totally fun appearance and another great story about his band days and the Edinburgh Fringe! He really was a very bad boy, charming, but naughty. He does sing, so hang on to your hats. I am not a fan of Fallon, but I have to say this was one of GB's best appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisleyscot Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 OMG!! It's on in an hour or so here. I can't wait!! Singing too? Yeah!! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazelEyes Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Okay - that may now be my favorite Gerry talk show appearance! He was in top form. Seemed so comfortable and bubbly and just beaming with stories. Was great to hear about his band days. And the whole accent discussion was so funny! When he got up to sing and I heard the first few notes of The Doors, I almost fell off the couch. Dayum - that was just the best ever! Oh, swoon. I have to say I prefer the scruff for sure. He of course always looks gorgeous, but the clean-shaven thing doesn't seem like him. I can't put my finger on it, but it's amazing how different (I think) he looks without that little bit of scruff. You know what - maybe it's the fact that without the scruff, they can really layer the tv makeup foundation on more, so he doesn't look as "natural" Anyway - fab appearance. If this is indicative of how he'll be on SNL, it's gonna be a blast! Ahh - just LOVE him! **OH - AND - he does a little dance at the beginning. I'm cooked** Edited October 16, 2009 by HazelEyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCallMeTracy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I really enjoyed this. I was smiling like a giddy school girl the whole time. It was like it was 1976 and Gerry was Robbie Benson in Tiger Beat. Jimmy and Gerry both sounded great singing. Gerry just can bring that real deep sensual sound to his voice. Gerry tickled me to pieces jumping up and down like a rock star. He seemed so healthy and happy. I really liked it. Now I cannot wait for SNL. OMGoodness Jimmy Fallon and his crew did that one of those housewives spoofs and they were hysterical. The one guy using the southern accent when he was dressed up as a girl was pretty enough to be a girl. Love, Tracy P.S. Naughty Gerry had to get bleeped a couple times.

milol Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I just got finished watching this and I am so pumped up, I cannot sleep. He was just so funny, so cute, so sexy, just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- I couldn't believe he had shaved, he looked just like he did in PS I love You. He is such an entertainer. SNL is going to be awesome if he is anything like he was on Fallon. He was so comfortable and easy going. I loved him talking about accents and trying to say Murdered....... so funny. Singing...... something we have wanted for so long...... I can't believe it. I couldn't be happier. I just love him...This was the best yet - I didn't think he could be any better. Can't wait for Bonnie Hunt now and then LAC.... Yeh.... Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framolamdu Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Oh now get us Brits jealous I'll just be happy to see it when Mel can get it into Multi Media. Glad he went down well and can't wait to hear the singing . Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rendita Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 OMG, that was ummmm......feckin' hilarious? I believe that terminology is okay. Every time Gerry cursed it was so funny. And seriously I was dying during the whole "murdered" conversation. What can I say I love it any time Gerry sings. Great show! Ren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixgirl Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 OMG that was HILARIOUS! MER DER. How great is he? And singing Roadhouse Blues??? Damn he can rock it. I'll be watching this one over and over ... and it was so great to chat with Sue and Cheryl while we watched! That's the best part. Could his shirt have been any tighter? God he was beautiful and so funny. OK - too much gushing for 1:30 am. Good night!! I think we'll all have SGDs tonight ... Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubee815 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Gerry and Jimmy Fallon were terrific together! And he was clean shaven! I love that look on him-I really do, he looks younger for one thing. And Gerry has such a sweet, friendly looking face his eyes and smile really leap out without the distraction of the beard. I love the scruff but it was a real treat to see him without it. The song was terrific, he and Fallon really hit it off which made the whole appearance delightful. I going to have trouble getting back to sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framolamdu Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 He really needs to get on Scottish Crime Show Taggart - did that ever shown in US. I think we all need to hear him say "There's been a murder". Oh I hope this will be available somewhere on the Net by the time I get home today. He was clean shaven WOW not like him.

Novelistgirl Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm playing this again and again! lol. Can't get enough of it. Gerry was amazing. One of his best appearances. As a French person, I know how hard it is for non Americans to pronounce the word "murdered" with the American accent. And that just cracked me up to see Gerry trying to pronounce it. Cute as hell.

VA GB Fan Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 GButs on Fallon was ficken hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My jaw absolutely dropped when he walked out, did his little dance and was CLEAN SHAVEN!!!!!!! OMG. Jimmy was so funny every time The Butler cursed and was bleeped.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle SNL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moira Don't know about the US, but I used to watch that back home in Canada. I hope he doesn't eventually lose his accent, it really is one of the nicer accents of the world, at least IMO. There's just something about it. Scottish & Irish are 2 of my favorites. Edited October 16, 2009 by Jennifer10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas gramma Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I thought Gerry was wonderful and was having a blast. I agree, one of his best appearances ever. I just have one complaint.....I WISH THEY'D FINISHED THE SONG! More singing, please!!!! Suzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcarder100 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 The hopping up and down and sticking his tongue out....wow, I had to rewind and watch that again and again. Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubee815 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 They showed the rest of the song during the end credits! It was pretty cool. How about Gerry and Jimmy as the new Blues Brothers? That would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo23 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Love it. Love it. Love it. I had to laugh when Jimmy Fallon said ''you're Scottish...right...no?'' Gerry:''Erm...YES!!'' Pretty obvious with the accent. And loved the whole 'mur-der' thing. Murder is a great word to say with a Scottish accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
