When it was announced that The Graham Norton Effect was going to air on Comedy Central many of his American fans were worried that Graham Norton was going to calm down and deliver a tamer version of his wildly popular British show. But thank god we were wrong. Already Norton has had outrageous guests such as RuPaul, Macaulay Culkin and Sandra Bernhard on his show. Norton’s outfits and attitude are more extreme than ever.

The Graham Norton Effect airs on Thursday at 10pm

WOOO! Mr. Norton! I loved his show over here.

But I have to say, I've seen some of the American Graham Norton Effect shows on TV over here, and they are tamer and I didn't find them quite so funny. It was more like "look at the funny gay man" whereas on the Graham Norton show over here it was like "look Graham Norton he interviews extravagant celebs. He's funny and knows all the cool stuff on the internet"

Well, that's the way it seems to me. But then I'm a snobby Brit wink

Great interviewthough! I do want the G Norton show back on Channel 4!! A game show for the BBC? A bit Dale Winton, isn't it? confused tongue

Cherry xoxoxox

P.S Daniel, the British G Norton show was aired on Channel 4 over here (not the government funded BBC), which is a commercial station. There were about 2 ad breaks every half hour.

This show is very very funny ... the Joan Rivers bit with the Penis Candles was entirely inspired.. Shannon Doherty just wanted to hide....

Wouldn't mind if it was on everyday .. but oh well ..

Graham Norton is fantastic, I love his show, although I cant decide if I am happy about his show on channel four in the UK being on tv all the time when a new series starts...


He was fucking brilliant in Father Ted.

Any americans here see Father Ted?

Was it shown there?

I watched it on BBC and can't really stand the States version. I only hope he was paid a truckload of money. Twice.

Kind of weird to see a Graham Norton interview on SG for some reason. But cool, he always seems even funnier and unaffected away from the cameras.

I should really like this show. It seems to have what I look for in a program, but for the life of me I can't stand to watch it. I don't really understand why either.

Meh, I remember not being a fan of Bring Me The Head of Light Entertainment on Channel Five in the middle-late '90s.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Yes, I watched early Channel Five. And yes, primarily for the soft-core porno and "documentaries" about tanks.

Ages old interview, but I've just read it so...

Love Graham, his Channel 4 show was just fantastic. BBC seemed to sabotage him by offering him a job and then not using him. That's just the impression I got at the time and may or may not reflect reality.

By the way, there's an misquote there that any Irish person couldn't miss:


TV shows stop at 6 o’clock to play evangelists



whereas what he definately would have said was:


TV shows stop at 6 o’clock to play the Angelus



The sound of the angelus bells play on the TV for one minute before the main evening news accompanied by pictures of people looking contemplative. It's a call to prayer. Irish people, even those of a secular disposition, don't really pay much attention to it since we've all grown up with it. Foreigners think it's weird eeek wink

Nice to hear he's still doing interesting stuff somewhere, all he does on this side of the atlantic is present lame talent shows for the BBC.
