    Graham Norton is hysterical, and this show truly stands out as a one-of-a-kind, as no other late night shows (I'm talking about the Jay Leno, David Letterman and Conan O'Brien shows) allow guests on their shows simply be themselves, be on TOGETHER at the same time and throughout the entire episode, and, most importantly, relax with a drink. Graham stands apart because of this uniqueness. Yes, some episodes haven't been (just like all shows) as good as others. But some of the episodes are instant hits - I laugh like crazy while watching them. To any of you out there who haven't seen an episode of this show, do yourself a favor and check it out. I don't think you'll regret it.moreless

  • Brit Chat Show starring Graham Norton, breaking breaking barriers with each episode.

    This is, arguably, the funniest show on the air right now. It is really more of a party than a talk show. The guests are loose (they often are having cocktails while taping!) and very forthcoming. Typically limiting the show to 2 guests and a musical performance over the hour-long length, there is much audience participation. The show is very bawdy, with much adult humour. Particularly hysterical shows were themed around Cagney & Lacey (with Gless and Daly, and The Dukes of Hazzard (with Wopat and Schneider). Best guest of all time? - British actress Miriam Margolyes, who didn't know she was voicing a penguin in Happy Feet until Norton told her.

    Exhibiting a level of comfort and enjoyment for the guests that I haven't seen since the days of Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas or Johnny Carson, I recommend this program highly.moreless
