Yup, agree there. Graham is such a brilliant chat show host.
Television Graham Norton Show
- Thread starter Sigma
- Start date
Last show of the season and they have these mugs on. Christ.
Who is it, Boris and Farage?
Not quite. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Rebel Wilson, if those names mean anything to you.
Josh Homme on now at least (and Iggy Pop...).
Rebel Wilson seems to always be on it, she must only demand a low fee.
Probably paid in food, the fat feck.
I feel bad for actors and celebs who get famous being the fat, 'funny' one. If they ever try to lose the weight they'll lose their persona and lose their appeal. They'll lose what made them famous.
They're taking over in all genres, the fatties. Like Meghan 'Needs A Personal' Trainor.
Norton really is a class act. I've seen loads of clips of American chat show hosts and perhaps it's just me being British that means I'm more comfortable watching Norton's style but for me he's the best in the business. He's always engaging, never awkward and can do sincerity and hilarity equally well.
Still he's not enough to convince me to tune into Eurovision.

Graham Norton is the funniest comedian, and he's not even a comedian!
He started out doing stand up, he's only really acted in comedies and and he tells jokes in the shows he hosts. If he's not a comedian who is?
New series starting next Friday
Favourite show on TV.
Dan Radcliffe Justin Timberlake Anna kendrick and music from Robbie Williams. Wow
Not a bad lineup. Wouldn't mind Robbie on the sofa from that start. He would be a good laugh I bet.
Think JT hasn't come on the show before? A debut
Think its OK, not the best lineup imo
How many times has Daniel Radcliffe been on the show already?
Graham Norton gets all the big names now it seems, while the likes of Alan Carr get the scraps. They were quite even at one point.
Didn't think the latest series was that good. Didn't find myself laughing as much as usual. However I did find the Charlie Sheen interview really showed how brilliant Norton is at his job.
Can't stand Radcliffe, but Timberlake, Kendrick and Williams are a laugh.

Radcliffe, Jack Whitehall and James mcavoy come what seems like every season
He's great at it. He's funny and a little self deprecating at the same time which puts all his guests at ease. Alan Carr is about as funny as a rusty nail to the eye.
That Robbie Williams story.
I've never understood why some guests come on half way through. Isn't all shot only in 1 hour? Why can the guest not make it for the whole hour?
Well you've been in similar situations, surely you would know?
That Robbie Williams story.
Usually not a fan of crude stories live on TV but that was funny.
I'm generally not a fan of "celebrity culture", but even I can see that Graham Norton is a brilliant host. He's likeable without being too boring. He's talkactive without interrupting the guests. Oh, and he's pretty funny.
Kendrick face when Williams finished the story is brilliant! She looked absolutely horrifiedThat Robbie Williams story.
Graham Norton needs to push the boat out with the guests on his show. Seems to have the same faces every year. Chris O'Dowd again tonight and more regulars next week??
He always has a comedy guest who sits at the end chirping in every now and then to be fair it kind of makes the show better when you have shite (like Jeremy Renner last night.) It was a pretty good line up in fairness to him, 2 A List actors and someone from the biggest band in the world. Then next week he's probably got the most famous actor in the world. It's probably more cos a lot of movies use the same actors if they get repeat guests.
Who has always been an absolute snoozefest.
Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne & Bryan Cranston on October 28th should make for a fun episode though.
Fair enough, I thought he was alright when Seth McFarlane was on, seems to be able to laugh at himself and is pretty easy going, I can see why people wouldn't like him though. The format of the show does allow some guests to be boring as well. For example I thought Renner was dull last night but the other 3 were actually quite entertaining so it made up for it. Catherine Tate is on next week who will probably be shite though.
I agree, but surely there's a hell of a lot more to choose from. Shame we missed out on Renee Zellwegger for example. He could have asked Chiwetel Ejiofor instead of Cumberbatch. I suppose it all links in with who's doing the promotional stuff at the time but I really think he could diversify a little more. Nicholas Cage, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Connelly and Wesley Snipes all have new films coming out soon. Would be great to see some of those guys on there too.
It's my favourite programme on TV but seeing the same faces every series is getting a bit tedious.
Yeah fair enough, suppose they stick to what they know somewhat. Cumberbatch for example has always been a good guest. I think most people would work on it though cos of the format of the show (all guests out at once) and Norton does play off well on them. I used to prefer Jonathan Ross but since he went to ITV his show has got pretty shit to be honest.
His show is the best and the format is good. He gets the big guests on everyweek, interacts with the audience, has humour but takes the has time to interview his guests and of course no ads.
Channel 4 have axed Alan Carrs show, even he admitted it was better because he was getting the bigger guests. His show was OK at the start but went rapidly downhill when he had zlist reality people thrown on him from C4 to promote their shows for their sub channels. The drinks thing and arsing about beforehand got on my nerves so would always switch over to Norton at 10.35.
Johnathan Ross is going the same way, haven't watched any of his shows this season. I was thinking of watching him tonight but then found out he's got Alan Davies and his annoying bighead bbc buddy mate Brand on again, and bros? Bros ffs.

Watching it now and can't stop staring at Amy Adams' tits.
I guess I'd want to avoid looking at her face too, I suppose.
That will be a good one.
Calling it now that there will be more otter related jokes with Cumberbatch.
