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.

gosh I was reading another post under "So Graham Norton" and I was going to post there because that's what the show is labelled as on BBC American but it's really supposed to be "V Graham Norton" since it is a 30 min showing with an older repeat following right after...unless "So GN" is filmed as two half hour shows??? not sure but I never miss an episode anymore I have them set to record on my ultimatetv...anyways my point is I wish they would show the friday full hour showing also because as the previous user commented the half hour is just not enough he's just so funny and gets his guests and audience to relax so well making the whole show even funnier...not to downplay jay leno or conan o'brien or even dave letterman because I watch them too but graham's show is just so much more funnier and provocative...keep it up graham and pass by toronto, ontario sometime would love to see you do a show here!!

Just wanted to bring the Graham!Love from the other side of the Atlantic. I recently got BBCAmerica and Graham Norton is my favorite show on the channel. I wish more American talk shows could be like this. Just a half hour of Graham is funnier than a full hour of Leno or Letterman. Graham rocks!
