The Beatles Mentioned on TV
-
The Graham Norton Show Dec. 9, 2017. Stephen Fry is talking about how he’s never been able to sing. He says he was at the funeral of film director John Schlesinger (2003) and was sitting next to Paul McCartney. Everyone sings a couple hymns, but Stephen says he just mimes them. Paul says “Sing. You’re not singing!” (Stephen does a great impersonation of Paul, you know how he emphasizes the “g?”) SF: “Paul, I can’t sing.” PM: “Everybody can sing. Sing!” So Stephen begins to sing.
Paul: “Shut up, you’re right, you can’t sing!”
Stephen then says (to Graham Norton and the other guests) “If Paul McCartney tells you you can’t sing, it’s official!”

On The Librarians Wednesday night, they are at a team-building retreat and the Arts & Creativity teacher is talking about how she relaxes by thinking of a poem or lullaby. She starts to recite “ Golden Slumbers kiss your eyes. Smiles awake you when you rise. Sleep pretty wantons do not cry.” Jake Stone finishes the poem “And I will sing a lullaby.” She says, “Yes, that’s right.” He says, “Thomas Dekker. You’re a fan of 17th century poetry?” She says, “Actually, I’m a Beatles fan. When I found out they used one of his poems, I looked him up.”
From Wikipedia:
"Golden Slumbers" is based on the poem "Cradle Song", a lullaby by the dramatist Thomas Dekker. The poem appears in Dekker's 1603 comedy Patient Grissel. McCartney saw sheet music for "Cradle Song" at his father's home in Liverpool, left on a piano by his stepsister Ruth. Unable to read music, he created his own music.[1][2] McCartney uses the first stanza of the original poem, with minor word changes,[4] adding to it a single lyric line repeated with minor variation. In the 1885 collection "St Nicholas Songs", p. 177, is W J Henderson's music set to the poem, titled " Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes". Abbey Road does not credit Dekker with the stanza or with the title. Thomas Dekker's poem was set to music by W J Henderson in 1885, Peter Warlock in 1918, also by Charles Villiers Stanford and Alfredo Casella.[5]

On This Week With John Oliver:
He talks about the Don Jr. ad which says “Trump has arrived. Have you?”
JO says, “That is a pretty misleading ad. When you say Trump has arrived, people naturally assume “The President Of The United States,” not Don Jr. It’s like if Ed Sullivan went “Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles!” and then the studio was just overrun with beetles!

Had Ed Sullivan actually done that, it would have been genius.

But would have unfortunately caused a riot by the pissed off fans!
