Chat-show monologues are usually bad, but the ones on GN's show are amongst the worst things ive ever seen on tv. Leave a bitter taste from the get-go, and...well the rest is shit aswell.

Bring back the stories from the audience I say. They were classic.

If you think GN is bad, I have two words: Mike Bullard.

C. and I saw him in person today, Anthony, with studio guests Sandra Bernhard and Marlon Wayans.

I am still haunted by Norton in a safety video in one of those "before they were famous" programmes. He had terrible hair.

This thread is one of those which shows just how much ILX can change in a couple of years - ppl *only just* becoming bored with Norton, Emma with blonde hair, Emma on ILX at all, Graham ect ect.

I saw Graham Norton plugging his new show on Comedy Central last night and I immediately thought of this thread.

His new show on Comedy Central is striking in its unfunnyness.

alex otm (but satan himself couldn't be funny if he were saddled with josh hartnett)

Watching him now interview Marilyn Manson and Chris Rock......who are both big guests, it seems....and it's still amateurish and unfunny.

To me, Graham Norton will always be the annoying priest from Father Ted.

n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 10 September 2004 14:06 (nineteen years ago) link

hate him. he's nasty and despicable.

two years pass...

Latest example of his sidesplitting humour spotted at the BAFTA ceremony last night - after airing a clip from Planet Earth, Norton jested "All of the animals in that clip are now dead."

Or possibly he was mixing up "all of the animals in that clip" with "Graham Norton's career."

I didn't stay with the programme.

(i did watch father ted briefly and i vaguely remember his mug but not his character)

bald butte (∞), Thursday, 22 February 2018 16:52 (six years ago) link

worried about what?

I find his "hyuk hyuk hyuk" laugh annoying, but while there are people around like Jonathan Ross, Michael McIntyre, Jimmy Carr, and Alan Carr, then there far more hateful TV personalities out there. I used to watch his show up until around 2010, but now it's just boring, seemingly the same rotating set of guests (Martin Freeman, Benedict Bandersnatch, Judi Dench, etc.). It's odd how he's gone from slightly edgy chat show host to basically Wogan in 15 years.

He's a harmless charmer

There's a lot ahead of him for whom those letters are swappable

Planck Blather (darraghmac), Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:02 (six years ago) link

much appreciated

bald butte (∞), Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:05 (six years ago) link

Have to say I find the gag that Marcello posted in 2007 quite funny. Helps that I can visualise him saying it. (Norton that is, not Marcello)

Dan Worsley, Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:15 (six years ago) link

graham norton is harmless at worst imo

NEW CHIMP THREAT (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link

wait that’s what dmac said basically

in that case dmac otm

NEW CHIMP THREAT (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link

he was very good in father ted. his chat show is bobbins. he's not the most annoying or malign tv personality in britain by a longshot.
