Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pamela Stephenson, who gushes about him here, married Connolly in 1989 after meeting on a comedy show. Their 13-year marriage at this point was still considered Hollywood-short by Scottish standards.
This tribute aired when Connolly was already 59, yet his career explosion was just beginning — he'd soon voice Pixar characters and become a travel documentary icon. BAFTA called it early.
