I'm SO GLAD he had Henry Louis Gates Jr. on. I love his show and everything he's stood for. As he said it was always supposed to be about helping black people but he expanded it. I watched since it was black

Great that Larry David was still out there. I miss the days when "doing panel" really meant doing panel. Seeing the guests interact with each other was so interesting.

I miss the days when talk shows would have the guests stay on and the couch would fill up and they'd have actual chats. That's one of the features I love about the Graham Norton show. This should be brought back. Great segment!

So interesting how connected we all are. Fun to see Larry crack up too. I'm going over to PBS and check out the show! Thank You Jimmy!

OMG, that is so humbling. I was his personal photographer. He is such a brilliant human being. It was not cool when he got busted by the cops due to racial profiling right in front of his home.
