NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Marieke van Essen Well sit down and open a bottle of wine ... or two. Because when you start watching this, you just can't stop or get enough. When artists create movies, albums, plays or books, they usually have to go on a tour to promote it, right? I say 'have to' because this process seems extreeemly boring to me. So many journalists have been asking the same bloody questions, and now you have to go answer them on TV. Very uncomfortable, because...really the host usually doesn't care, really you've just spent so much time of your life on this and you have been focussing on something else for months now, and reallly you don't want to wear the elaborate clothes... ugggh. That doesn't bode well for a show trying to promote shit.Enter the Graham Norton Show!The Grahman Norton Show Team knows this, it seems. So they have gone with a unique angle: 1. An actually interested, hilariously blabbermouth host. (quite gay of course). 2. Ply the guests with drink.(Although 'denied' on Stephen Colbert, we all know this happens. Britania rules the Waves! ...Waves of Wine that is ;) ) 3. Briefly mention what you have to... and then go on to the celebrities': funny Tweets, illegal exploits, shoe laces, circumcision that never happened, insults of other celebrities, wanking off soldiers in parks, looking like otters and then get said celebrities to pose on photos like some other otters, duel with light sabers, ride a unicycle, break dance.... For short, this show is as great as it is because it's fun for everybody involved: the host, the team, the public, the guests, and people watching at home.And this from someone who doen't care about celebrities...
westiekid This is the best talk show ever. Graham is a funny likable host that doesn't make the show all about him. He makes his guests the center of attention. I love how the guests are on all at once. I love watching the biggest stars in Hollywood interact with each other. This show is Very Original - Graham Norton does not ask his guests questions they constantly get ask. He asks original questions - over all his show is original. Never copies other shows but it's other shows that copy him - Tom Hanks said this as wellOver all if you are having a bad day, put Graham Norton on because the positive vibes of his show come through! :)
bbewnylorac This talk show is great value. Very funny with first class guests. Norton is attentive, witty, flattering without being insincere, and genuinely interested in his guests. Very few guests come across as boring or uncomfortable but the editing is sharp, and if one guest is firing, they tend to focus on them. The format is near perfect, with the interviews interspersed with very creative audience participation segments, stunts the guests are asked to do, and performances by fantastic rock bands at the end. Among the show's negatives is that there are few women guests. Sometimes Norton jokes about British celebrities that viewers in the US or Australia won't have heard of. And Norton's jokes sometimes veer towards the smutty. Sometimes he gets so risqué the more conservative American guests are clearly shocked, but it can be funny when Norton throws in a naughty observation.
Jackson Booth-Millard I used to love the host of this new chat show on occasion in his Channle 4 programmes, So and V, and being against the likes of Jonathan Ross and Parkinson at the time, it was interesting to see this try and rival. BAFTA winning, and British Comedy Award nominated Graham Norton here gets his own regular style chat show, no camp and over the top sexual comedy involved, there would be the occasional breakaway, but that's all. The show would star with a few jokes about recent events and the guests featuring, two or three guests are brought in to talk about and promote/plug their recent venture in film, music, television or whatever else, including past career, there would be a musical performance by a singer or band, and the final part I will explain soon.

My favourite part of the show (technically a main reason for me to watch) is the red chair (originally called "That's All We've Got Time For), where a member of the studio audience sits down, obviously Graham finds out their name, where their from and what they do, and they have a short story or anecdote to tell that has to be interesting and funny, and if they start to bore Graham and the audience he has a lever by his side to pull and eject them backwards off the chair, if they do have a good story they are allowed to walk. Very good!
