The convicted sex offender appeared on The Graham Norton Show in 2015 – before his crimes came to light – after begging him for a seat on the couch.
Five years later, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for the rape and assault of two women.
Speak with JOE in a new interview, Graham admitted: “I often talk about who my least favorite guest was, but someone reminded me that I now have a really good answer to this.
“To be Harvey Weinstein. He’s in jail, so he gets the award for the worst guest ever.”
Graham went on to reveal that Weinstein, 70, initially emailed him “something really nice” before asking to appear on The Graham Norton Show.
The Irish star who, like the world, was unaware of his heinous crimes told Weinstein that he was fully booked on the day he wanted to appear, but the now-embarrassed director continued to harass him.
“And in that moment I thought that kind of attitude, that kind of, ‘Oh no, I’m going on’…that’s what makes you a very good producer,” Graham said.
“But now that we know what we know, that’s obviously what makes him a predator.”
Graham added: “And it was kind of hair-raising afterwards.”
Weinstein next appeared on The Graham Norton Show David tennant, Olivia Colman and Jesse J.
During his interview, the now-famous pervert told Graham that Dame Judy Dench has a “JD loves HW” “tattoo” on her bottom.
He forgot to mention that Judi’s tattoo was a temporary tattoo, applied only to fool Weinstein.
Weinstein was first convicted in February 2020 of sexually abusing two women in… New York and is faced with additional costs in The Angels and the United Kingdom.
On June 8 of this year it was announced that: British prosecutors plan to indict Weinstein with two counts of indecent assault against a 70-year-old woman in London in 1996.
The Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement that “the charges have been cleared” following an investigation by… London Metropolitan Police.
