    This is was another excuse for gross humour on a very good chat show. The presenter of this sometimes gross adult chat show, twice British Comedy Award nominated (one win) Graham Norton was just the perfect gay host for another good show like this. It had one or more famous celebrities in the middle of it. They basically had an adult idea which would either humiliate or humour the guest, but every one of these ideas was gross and some not faint-hearted. They had pretty much the same material as the original show, So Graham Norton. The best episodes for me were with Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich. This is just for adults, but enjoy it! It was nominated for the National Television Awards for Most Popular Entertainment Programme British Comedy Awards. It was been on The 100 Greatest TV Treats for 2002, 2003 and 2004. Very good!

    When I first saw watched this I expected it to be another boring late night chat show, but oh boy was I wrong! This show is hillarious! The atmosphere from the audience is great, the comedy sketches are hillarious and the celebrity guests look as if they're enjoying themselves too. I have watched every Friday night episode for the last two years(Sometimes Wednesdays too). My favourite episodes included the one with Joan Collins who obviously didn't have a clue what was going on or who the hell Graham Norton was! But in the end of that episode she loosened up and made the show the same hillarious show it always ends up to be! I also enjoyed the Halloween episode with Orlando Bloom. He was familiar with the shows format since that was his third time on the show. This show is brilliant and is like no other chat show. Watch it!

    This is British television at its worst. I have nothing against gay men or camp comedy but I do have a problem with Norton's puerile and predictable humour. I have probably never seen one of his shows in its entirety but every time I accidentally catch part of a show a sort of morbid curiosity compels to me to keep watching until I can eventually stomach no more. A typical episode seems to consist of the following; - a section where members of the audience voluntarily stand up and try to outdo each other with stories of their most outrageous acts - I once saw a man receive rapturous applause from a guffawing Norton and the studio audience for telling a story of how he was once caught using a frozen chicken as a masturbatory aid by his family.Norton producing a novelty dildo or sex-toy and demonstrating it to the approving crowd.Norton surfing the net to find an American with an obscure sexual perversion and phoning them live on TV in order to make fun of them."interviews" with guests in which Norton will usually bring a once glamorous star down to his level and cram in as much innuendo and penis jokes as possible, accompanied by his annoying laugh. His material would surely be considered unbroadcastable, offensive and politically incorrect in the hands of a straight comedian but, because it is delivered by a gay man who women don't feel threatened by, it's somehow hip and witty. In truth this is lowest-common-denominator humour whoever it comes from. Depressingly, this most unsophisticated form of humour is lapped up by a worryingly high proportion of 20-30 somethings and it seems as though Graham Norton will be around for a long time yet.In the past, Channel 4 has been responsible for challenging the boundaries of entertainment and comedy with controversial yet thought-provoking programming. In granting Norton a vehicle to air his own brand of "outrageous" comedy five nights a week, it has merely succeeded in destroying its own credibility and the accolade of being Britain's premier comedy channel.Shame on you Channel 4.

    When he first started he was witty, original and hilarious. He seems to have run out of penis jokes. You can hear the jokes before he says them since he went 5 nights a week. V V V Predictable. Also, i have never seen a chat host so far up his guests bums as him, he praises and praises( unconvinsingly) and then the next week makes a scripted joke about them. Even his script writers have ran out of jokes, now it is just Michael Douglas being old. A sad milking of what was once quite a funny guy. RIP Graham, You will never be the same.
