Anecdote about wanking off three men in a random wood in Edinburgh or something. Everyone laughed hysterically.

Is it just me or have TV chat shows gone really downhill? Confused

She seems to have been on. Cotton so many times she’s probably running out of anecdotes. Not that many were funny to start with.

I can’t bear her. She thinks she’s so shocking being a sexually active lesbian, but the world has moved on. Nobody cares. Vile.

Same, can’t watch her. As soon as I saw her on the line up for Graham I knew it would be the same old.

GeorgeEdwardsMum · 29/11/2025 00:56

If she was male she'd have been cancelled years ago.

Stillpoor · 29/11/2025 01:00

I think she`s alright.
Like any other cleb got to make money.

Of course all performers have to make money by performing. Miriam Margolies has been an extremely successful actor over a period of very many years and has worked with any number of other famous actors. She’s also very articulate. She must have dozens of anecdotes she could polish up and deliver on chat shows. Why does she always choose the same grotesque anecdotes which are simply uncomfortable rather than actually funny? Why has she made herself into a cartoon?

SnowFrogJelly · 29/11/2025 01:14

Yes but Alexander Skarsgard is very nice to look at..

Utterly repulsive woman. Have noticed recently that there are fewer and fewer comments about how 'hilarious' she is. The tide has turned and people are seeing her for what she really is. Coarse and deeply unpleasant.

Wow this is totally harsh and over the top

Thanks for the speach about her.

Its like holly willoughby, carol vorderman, alison hammond, all them on loose women, we either like them or we dont.
I dont like any of them, but i do think alison is alright.

I think most comments are on here, its just a woman thats got a bit a fame, still human at the end of the day.
If you dont like it watch something else.

YouTube her old appearances on Norton. I remember her telling a story about, I quote, “creaming herself” or something.
Every time she is in that show, she turns the chat towards that stuff.

That was when I really went off her.

Firefly1987 · 29/11/2025 01:26

She was on years ago with Matthew Perry and insulted the female Friends writer-said she met her once and thought she was a monster or something lol. Then she made some crass comment and MP said something like "I've never been more uncomfortable in my life"-I barely ever watch GN but every time I do she's on!

WaffleParty · 29/11/2025 01:28

She’s vile. She seems to think it makes her interesting to make other people feel uncomfortable. No real humour, just vulgar anecdotes and rudeness.

She is dreadful. Appallingly racist but couched in a 'right on BBC lefty so it is okay' tone.

PuppyMonkey · 28/11/2025 23:43

I was embarrassed for the other guests having to laugh and clap as if it was the height of witty banter. And she kept interrupting the others to say a banal thing. Cringed.

She is the female Stephen Fry.
It was witty banter.
In the 80s.

Have you not seen her 'coloured gentlemen' anecdotes?
Look them up, I am not going to repost them here.

ForHazelTiger · 29/11/2025 01:42

I think it's great to see a woman who doesn't care what anyone thinks and who breaks all the rules about how women are supposed to behave. I find it very cheering.

I think he just didn't know how to handle an older women making filthy jokes

BeaLola · 29/11/2025 01:51

I didn't watch live as new she was on - she's vile. She could be an awesome guest with all the films/tv she's worked on but she goes way too far on trying with her sexual stories /reminiscences and she's bloody rude - always interrupting everybody etc

If there's anyone I really want to see on GN I watch on catch up and forward wind /mute her as necessary

What??

I read a review of her memoir that mentioned she used to give random blowjobs to men as a young woman as 'giving pleasure thrilled me'. Really confused me as she claims to be lesbian.

I have a lesbian friend who feels automatically suspicious of lesbian celebrities as some are actually bisexual and if they later date men it fuels gross men who think lesbians can be 'converted'. 🤢

I fear Miriam is an example of this type!

I find her endearing, l’ve seen many of the chat shows she’s been in, she just makes me laugh, but yes l get it’s not to everyone’s humour.

Me too! And she only tells the same stories again and again because she keeps being asked to

How is she lesbian?? These anecdotes were about men.

She's just fuelling homophobia that 'lesbians don't exist'

Yes, it’s because she’s asked, to repeat a particular story.Just think, what is she 84, good on you, she’s seen so many things, will just say it as it is.

SuperGinger · 29/11/2025 03:07

She is very vulgar woman.
