So Graham Norton

Graham Norton (born Graham William Walker, 4 April, 1963) is one of the most popular talk show hosts and comedians currently on British television.

Despite his desire to become a serious actor, it was soon clear that Norton's future lay in making people laugh. The UK television station, Channel 4, offered him his own chat show and So Graham Norton was born.

On one of my trips to the UK, I caught the show and it was a magnificent mess of the camp, the obscene and the hilarious. Happily, it was snapped up by BBC America and in turn, a US version was born to further cheers and laughter on this side of the Atlantic.

One Man's View of Graham Norton

A Graham Norton Review

Graham Norton offers an incredibly entertaining late night talk show where the topics are completely absurd, the sexual references abundant, and the humor is nonstop.

He engages his audience in asking questions about their personal lives, finds interesting characters to call, and has the most random ideas tossed out which leave us shaking our heads saying "I can't believe he is doing this".

Some examples of his humor include showing a can of cock soup to Sophia Lauren, calling up a sex addict named "Rocket Man" with Elton John, putting a classified ad in a magazine called "Holes", and getting pillows that look like a set of breasts for Dolly Parton.

Mind you, he is not as sleazy as Howard Stern or Jerry Springer: It's just plain fun.

Norton finds some of the most incredible people out there who in themselves are hilarious, such as a nude skier, a man whose website is based on balloon fetishes, and the lovely Pam who can play the recorder in the most interesting of places.

Norton manages to entice a huge range of celebrities to his shows and they include Chris Rock, Ricki Lake, Dan Ackroyd, Jacqueline Bisset, Shirley McClaine, Pam Anderson, Dustin Hoffman, Elton John, John Goldberg, as well as many musical talents.

Since this is not a regular talk show (in the same vein as Jay Leno, or God forbid, Conan O'Brien), these celebrities seem so relaxed, and are having such a good time, that they start relating bizarre moments or off the wall experiences that they have had.

He may not be for everybody because the conversation is sexually charged but, at the end of the day, it's all good fun.
