Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I love this show because it sooooooooo hilarious. America doesn't have much funny stuff on anymore, just reality t.v. shows, ugh! This is the best show! This is just too hard to beat.

I am American, and Graham Norton does NOT stink - he's fabulous! That most of the comments here are from abroad is much more likely due more to the fact that Graham is only available in the States if one has a subscription to BBC America, which is only available from digital cable or satellite. In England, he's on regular TV/cable.Graham is hysterical. You can't help but love him. His show is all about him, not his guests, and it's only the American celebrity guests who have never watched his show that have a problem with it, if they do at all. I've never seen a guest be unhappy or upset that they didn't get to "sell" themselves they way they can if they go on Oprah. He's just having fun with his guest and his audience, and that's what it's all about. And I wouldn't compare his show to the likes of Jerry Springer - Grahams show is very smart and no one is judging anyone. It's just a celebration of the weird and funny things people do.*slight spoiler below* My favorite episode was when Graham had Jerry Hall (the model and ex-wife of Mick Jagger) who is originally from the Dallas area. Graham always does web searches on his guests to find interesting and potentially embarrassing things to show on his show. For Jerry, he found a website for a hair salon near Dallas that had photos of the salon owner with various celebrities, including Hall herself. Not surprisingly, we learn that she has never been to his salon and that her mom probably sent him a photo. So, Graham decides to call the salon owner and pretend that his show is coming to Dallas and he is looking for local celebrities. It was REALLY funny to hear this guy go on about how Jerry comes in every few months and how she likes her hair done, and then for Graham to tell him how interesting that is because he's filming live right now and Jerry is sitting right next to him. There was ::DEAD SILENCE:: on the other end of the phone, and then an expletive (as in "darn")... the audience was just roaring, and that is typical Graham Norton and why I watch him every night. Long Live Graham!

The English prove once again that in the realm of unique, off the wall and generally side splitting comedy, they have no peer.Eschewing tried (and tired) talk show formats in the Johnnny Carson, Letterman Leno, et al vein, openly out Graham Norton opts for and delivers a screaming cocktail of chat, audience involvement, ritual Internet and live phone humiliation that appeared (at least to this viewer) to be both spontaneous and hilarious.He is a natural wit, very quick and sharp, and engages his guests AND and his audience in an atmosphere of mutual fun and outrageous merriment. Be warned -the show is not for the prudish or the faint hearted, but if like me, you love comedy that is dirty, somewhat vulgar and funny in an 'oh my god - I can't believe they got away with that on TV' sort of way, you will love this show.It also strikes you that the US guests on the show loved the irreverence of it all as well - as acts, words and things are said and done on the show that would NEVER be contemplated, much less attempted on the moral majority influenced and highly conservative US networks!Highly recommended!!

Graham Norton, the not-very-famous (yet) camp, gay, actor/interviewer presents his own chat-show in his inimitable style. Recently he has interviewed top stars such as Ursula Andress, Grace Jones, Billy Zane, and, most famous of all, Joan Collins, who have all taken the saucy style of interview (with slots such as "Celebrity Swearing" and "Audience Confessions") in their stride, with only slightly red faces. The most famous of the segments on the show is the "phoning up" part, where Graham has celebrity interviewees phone porn/chat lines or pizza takeaways, encouraging them to ask the unsuspecting person on the other end of the line as rude questions as possible. The most successful of these has been the "Miles O'Keeffe" ritual humiliation, which has now become a regular slot each week on the show. Graham now insists on telephoning, live, "Tarzan, the Ape-Man" actor (with Bo Derek) every week! Have fun, and don't be too offended!
