Benedict Cumberbatch Proves to Talk Show Host Graham Norton that He Can Correctly Pronounce the Word ‘Penguin’

“Now I’m completely terrified of the word.”

After it was made widely known that he repeatedly pronounced the word “penguin” incorrectly in a BBC documentary, actor Benedict Cumberbatch took to The Graham Norton Show and proved to the talk show host (and the rest of the world) that he can indeed pronounce the word quite correctly. Benedict also performed a mean impression of the oft-mocked Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks an demonstrated his scary Smaug voice to fellow guest Miranda Hart.
