Not just manage, but master, and not in an “it’s all about me” kind of way, but in a way, as Will Smith said, I a way that lets everyone else be the star and too succeed/win. No one better. And that includes Parkinson.
I think he is very humble and the show is what he does....but outside of that maybe a little shy? who knows i could be so wrong..but i just love him imagine being that clever..just talk no give aways no gimmicks and everyone loves being on his show
I love how he can have the biggest actor on earth sitting next to an olympian, but the conversations flow so beautifully and everyone feels comfortable...
I'm not sure he'd be great at it. Don't take me the wrong way but I think he's better at talking in small environments or commenting on something, but actually hosting the Oscars? I just don't see Graham Norton hosting something like that, he's not really the "prepared jokes" kinda guy, he's just very conversationalist I think. I might be wrong though!
Graham Norton is just THAT good of an entertainer and talk show host. He doesn't need skits or pranks to get the audience laughing and his guests always seem to have the greatest time.
And they have such a good time they come back!!! As Matt Damon said " this is THE most fun I've ever had on a talk show.." a view shared by most of his guests.🥰
I love watching The Graham Norton Show! I am not usually one for talk shows, but this is one I could watch over and over. He has the greatest personality and hits everything head on. I love you, Graham! You are amazing. ❤️🌹❤️
oh yes how much is he worth,I was living on the street and graham norton pulled into the garage where I was begging,he looked as if he couldnt give a ffff
I really wish either Graham Norton or Rebel Wilson would host the Oscars. The show is soo dull and I also think Ricky Gervais is hilarious. Our late-night hosts and emcees are about as funny as a broken leg.

Thank god the internet has shrunk the world. I love that I can watch British television so easily. And Graham’s show is the best, it feels like you are sitting there with them all talking.
As an American I can safely say his shows are 100x better than any American equivalent. His shows are genuine and truly hilarious when most Late Night stuff is the US comes across so structured and fake (especially Fallon haha). We love you Graham!
Brian Matthew I totally agree. Found Graham on RUclips and discovering his show has been pure joy for this American. His show is so real; he brings out the genuineness of his guests. We get to see American stars as we have NEVER seen them here, relaxed, funny, truthful...absolutely love Graham Norton. (Also agree about Fallon, lol)
the thing that American chat shows do wrong is that they pretty much use it as a podium to rant and rave about that "evil" Trump and those "evil" Republicans. They dont seem to realize that politics should have NO place anywhere near chat shows which is why Graham is the best, it gets a little political occasionally i.e the only thing Graham did that I disagree with is when he brought the lying warmongerer Hitlery Rotten Cunton on but aside from that I think the guy is awesome
@@GenericUsername-qp1ww You were doing so well, right up until the derogatory, "Hitlery Rotten Cunton". I'm not a supporter of any Clinton, however stooping to that level of name calling is pathetic. Also by the way, the whole comparison to Hitler thing is so overdone. Individuals all over the political spectrum get compared to Hitler. I wish people would find a different world recognizable, historically significant, asshole to compare politicians to.
@@GenericUsername-qp1ww (sigh) no. that's not the difference. (Norton is as anti-trump as they come ... have to assume you've never seen his show, much less monologue.) how small you seem here. but you do you.
@@op3129 the only anti-Trump rhetoric I've heard him spout is when he was high on crack and invited Hitlery Rotten Cunton onto the show. The show is supposed to be for celebs, not tyrannical warmongerer's.
I am an American, and I found Graham Norton's show on RUclips about 3 years ago. I have seen some very talented and funny talk show hosts going back to Johnny Carson, and I Really Believe there has Never been a more talented host of ANYTHING than Graham. I have never seen him have a bad show. No one, in my mind is More Deserving Of This award than him. A True LIVING LEGEND!
American here too. I refuse to watch talk shows here because they're all the same thing with the same sterile environment and questions. Graham's show is truly different and allows people to be human for a while. Cheers to Graham!
I am an Italian and only recently found out about Graham Norton's shows here on RUclips. All the years I've spent studying English have finally paid me back. He's amazing!!!!
I am from Japan , I accidentally watched his show in you tube . Then I can’t stop watching ....keep looking for his show ....I always smile and laugh together as if I am there , among the audience ... and having nice time .., I forget my bad day by watching his show He is brilliant ...he have this charisma ...and genius
We brits love Takeshi's Castle and your cars, motorcycles, electronics, computer games and pretty much everything else you produced throughout the late 20th century to this day.
If a legend like Dolly Parton says she loves working with you and she has more in common with you than anybody else that's like being knighted. The respect for Graham from all of them is incredible.
From the wise words of Kit Harington and I feel like this describes Graham Norton in every way. "You can't lie to Norton. That's like lying to your grandma"
@Sean Gill he IS irish. proper irish. (as long as brexit is pending ... and trump doesn't know Ireland isn't UK.) but (and I think you know this) he works for UK (bbc). I'd think you'd be fucking proud to have "national treasure" for one of Ireland's "first sons" (as US puts notables from an individual state). y'all did (and do) SO good ... take the (international) win.
As someone with bipolar I can honestly say that in some of my darkest hours Graham Norton has brought me light that nobody else could. I’d give this man my heart.
A lot of it is about respect. He is so well known and loved on both sides of the Atlantic that he can ask practically anyone to go on the show and they will. I think the only guest I've ever seen on there who clearly would rather have been somewhere else was Phil Collins.
I really feel like I'm watching his guests as people instead of actors. He brings out the funny and sometimes relatable moments they've had which makes it so fun to watch. Like you're just going out for drinks
As an American I am jealous of your Ireland's national treasure Graham Norton. He is such a kind, witty and a fun person. And tbh British (Irish) humor is just awesome. 👍🏻
Tricia English I get it, but I think she meant she loves Irish and English humor. It's more dry and dark than American humor, so either one is welcome.
In America we're used to entertainers / celebrities coming on to plug a project and they don't even stay past their segment! By comparison; Graham's program is basically a cocktail party where everyone sits on the same couch, regardless of their level of fame, to share stories and react genuinely to bits happening in real time, all guided so charmingly and deftly by Graham Norton, whose craft at all of this is so inviting and warm and intoxicating! Johnny Carson may be our Gold Standard, but Graham is a bit more like Dean Martin! His show is unpredictable, sometimes messy, but always the party you'd like to be at most! ALL awards are deserved for this sweet and lovely guy!
Us shows are about plugging, advertising or supporting something first and foremost. The BBC being funded by we license payers instead of any for-profit organisation has some of the most stringent anti-advertising policies so if you want to plug something you have to find a creative way to do it. If other UK advertiser-funded networks have chat shows, many exactly the same as US shows, and the BBC wants to compete with them then it has to find a creative way to do it so Graham Norton (and to a lesser extent Jonathan Ross) were the BBC coming up with a way to have a chat show of their own and let Hollywood and the music industry promote their movie and music stars, but have it all completely unscripted to avoid any allegations of advertising a product. OFCOM, the TV regulator, can't complain if Will Smith just happens to mention his latest movie in the midst of an hour of entertainment, because it wasn't directly asked of him by Graham, Will "just mentioned it" or it came up in the middle of discussion. In the early days big studios and music publishers actively avoided the BBC on their promotion circuit when promoting a movie or album because the whole idea is to plug what you are selling and you can't do that on the BBC, it was only after folks like Graham and Jonathan started to draw huge viewers that promoters saw the appeal of putting their stars on a show even if they couldn't openly promote their product. The product would promote itself, people would go see the movie or buy the album anyway after seeing a star on the show. They don't even have to mention that they have a new album out, if you see Dolly Parton on a TV in the UK you immediately think "Oooh, Dolly is still around, I wonder if she's still making music?" and a bunch of folks buy her album for themselves, or loved ones or whoever. The BBC have their chat show and promoters have their sales.
Rob Fraser interesting point. Do you remember Michael Aspel had a popular chat show on ITV in the late eighties? he had a show where one week the guests were Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis and the whole show was them just shamelessly plugging Planet Hollywood and Bruce Willis actually sang . Michael Aspel quit and never did his chat show again
In the US we have PBS (public funded TV) why they've never tried to put together a show like Graham's is beyond me. I would think they would benefit immensely.
I’ve always thought Ellen seems so much more robotic. I don’t know how to describe it, but I think people enjoy being on Graham Norton’s show more because it’s so much more comfortable and like talking to a friend or someone you know, not an interview on tv.
@@13nlsc sorry you’ve met uptight Americans. I’m from America and quite a few of us with our Irish heritage aren’t uptight. You know like Graham also being Irish and best talk host in GB.✌️ Also Graham is 100% better than any of the late night parrots here in the USA.
I'll tell you the kind of man Graham Norton is... a local school in Ireland invited him to come visit after they did some thing I can't remember... anyway they doubted he'd come ... yep you guessed it, he turns up on his vw golf... everybody said he was the nicest down to earth guy you'd ever meet. But sure you probably already knew that, that's why you are here.
Great comment 💯. People are actually bitching about him outta jealousy. Irish boy did good. He's a treasure to us. They think his talk show persona is real. The real Graham is wonderful and a true gentleman and not as fourth coming as he portrays on the show.
my thought exactly, not bad for an Irish Pouf. defied the odds and can tell the lot of them to piss off when they come hating. Good On Him, we're lucky to have im.
@@DubFocus89 Just last week I watched him being interviewed about his latest book for Australian television. When probed about the Irish setting of his book, Graham admitted that after living in a small part of London for 20 years, he couldn't tell you much about life in England. Therefore, he found it natural that he went back to what he knew and experienced in his life, 1970's Ireland. We Brits have taken to him like we did with Wogan, but we must acknowledge that what Graham is, comes from Ireland.
I'm glad Graham has gotten some recognition. He truly deserves it. I've never seen big stars/musicians/etc relax so much on an interviewers show EVER. He truly gets everyone loose and it's just like....watching a conversation between some friends. You know the kinds...where you are laughing till you cannot breathe but you cannot remember why you're laughing lol.
Will Smith gets to the core of why we love Graham so much and why he is SO good at what he does. Every host could learn something from him. James Corden is also good, but in his own style.
I think unfortunately James has really adapted his humour to be American and it's all a bit scripted & fake BUT he actually is so naturally funny he should have just been more like himself like he was here in the UK. Graham has an ability to be himself and make both Brits & Americans (and others) laugh which is amazing as it can be very different humour.
@@photographsdaily33 i'm sure you're right about James. I will search for UK James now, which i wouldn't have done if it weren't for your reply, so thank you! :)
@@energybengt Yess please do! Try watching him in like an interview with Graham Norton before his move to America he's more natural, could try watching some of 'A league of their own'. You could even try the programme Gavin & Stacey which he acts in and he and a woman called Ruth Jones wrote together (that is very British humour though aha) I also feel like slightly awkward when he's pretending to be mean cause he's a nice guy and he's good at comedy & I feel like sometimes he takes the easy route
I'm American and I can say without a doubt Graham is my favorite talk show host, since Letterman retired anyway. He actually lets the guests talk! What a novel idea.
@@stephanieyee9784 Graham said his mum was from "the big smoke" meaning Belfast, if you watched his Who Do You Think You Are, you would have seen him visit Belfast where his grandparents lived.
John King Oh , I love that show! I would have loved to see the episode about Graham! I also never knew he went to Dollywood! I maybe could get someone to help me find these episodes. Because I am terrible at tech! 💝🙉
I watch it here in Sweden. I have noticed that every Hollywood celebrity seems to genuinly enjoy being there. It's not so stiff as in American talkshows, they can have a drink and relax and swear and just have fun.
He is honestly the best entertainer in the UK right now. I look forward to every Friday night because of him, and I dread the day he says he is finishing the show. A true national treasure.
thepuredrop79 What sort of logic is this? Out first President was Protestant. Our biggest national sporting trophy is named after a Protestant. At one end of of nation’s main boulevard is the Catholic Emancipator, Daniel O’Connell. At the other end a Protestant, Charles Stewart Parnell. Grattan, Protestant. Wolfe Tone, Protestant. Teeling, Protestant. McCracken, Protestant. Casement, Protestant. Bulmer Hobson, Protestant. Napped Tandy, Protestant. Sheares Brothers, Protestant. Read a fucking book.
thepuredrop79 Also, I saw the wink so I know you’re only ripping the piss, so excuse the snippy response. It’s just that you see a lot of similar comments that are posted in earnest. Fucks me off no end.
Graham Norton show is far better and funnier than all American late night shows put together. Because the show is pleasant, not fake and most important - The host is naturally funny unlike Fallon or Kimmel!
+niawest +thiruvetti exactly what I was thinking.... so you feel the need to put down an entire country? Not to mention America's not the center of the fucking universe so the reference isn't needed to begin with.
Awww, tears and chills. I love this!! A genuine good man! A light and blessing for us all. All the best to you Sir and to your whole crew and staff and audience and guests. You do it perfectly!! Thankful!! This coming from an American. Our shows and hosts could learn a lot from you
Steven Daniels That bob rail person made the same comment in several places here. Always gotta be one sad sack with nothing nice to say and generally unable to be happy for some else's well deserved success.
He seems like one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet in showbusiness. He draws stories out of people so naturally. All the guests on his talk show look like they're having the time of their lives, and that's what makes his show so incredibly fun to watch.
I’ve grown up watching him and I just love him. I’ve seen so many people come to life of his sofa. When I read the hunger games I always pictured Graham as the host that everyone loved, Caesar Flickerman. What a legend.
I’m from Russia. All my friends love Graham Norton’s show. Whenever I feel down or exhausted either emotionally or physically) I always just turn on his show and everything feels great again. ❤️
To summarize, he's better than every other talk show host. BETTER than every other . Everytime he host is like a big family having a good old night chat. You don't see this in other talk shows.
Graham Norton show makes life so easier.he is my stress buster.Whenever I feel low,I just open any of his videos and forget about the pain.He's a magician.
Love Graham, shame RTE couldn't recognise his talent and he had to move to the UK to make his career. All Irelands best get exported to the UK and the US
Mrs Tracey Ní Breitheamh-Nesbitt. He would never have reached the heights he's at now if he hadn't moved, it' not just shoddy management. Your options are limited in a country as small as Ireland, and the UK is a big cultural exporter, second only to the US I'd say. When it's a stone throw away, why wouldn't you move there if a life in entertainment is your goal? He never would have stayed mate. That's the truth.
He should be given an International award, really🙌🏼 Saved so many souls during the gloomy first years of pandemic. Sometimes his shows were the only light that shone during the hard days of depression and uncertainty. Laughter is an international healer. God bless him! 🙏
@gnilttbs I know this, but Graham Norton may apply for British citizenship due to Brexit. PS You are a supercilious little twerp, and Terry Wogan HAD British citizenship.
I'm not British but I just love watching Graham Norton on RUclips. He just has a way of bringing out the best of all his guests and I've never seen a talk show host deal with multiple celebrities from diverse parts of the entertainment world at once and somehow have them all chat so comfortably together like he does. And you can feel that the guests are genuinely having a great time on his couch. Love it.
I think to be told "hey, you're damn good at what you do, and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us" is somethin every human on the planet would love to hear, and Graham Norton damn sure deserved to hear it....he's got a fan here in San Jose, Calif (Silicon Valley) for as long as he's on the air...
My mother worked in the Bedford Pub in Balham during the 90's. The banana caberet hosted a lot of up and coming comedians, many of whom are famous now. My mother got to know Graham Norton as he did that circuit a lot in his younger days. She always said he was the nicest of them all. Always had time to chat to people, really down to earth and funny. She reckons he literally had not changed one bit with his fame. Aside from this I honestly believe he is the greatest late night talkshow host. He sweaps all others, past and present, under the carpet. A true TV legend. Well deserved Mr Norton.
As an American, I've only seen Graham Norton's show in RUclips clips, but I've always thought he was the best host I've ever seen. His warmth and brilliance shine through, and you can tell that he really does want his guests to have a good time. He really is special.
I think they just mean that he's not dry, in that there's nothing rough about him; he's just joyful and and genuine in all that he does and his attitude/personality.
the only host that can manage more that 1 guest.
He an Irish man so probably wouldn't accept a knighthood or cbe or whatever nonsense they go on with over there....
To be honest its probably easier to keep up a pace and stop awareness with more than one guess, you just have to make sure no one stays silent.
Not just manage, but master, and not in an “it’s all about me” kind of way, but in a way, as Will Smith said, I a way that lets everyone else be the star and too succeed/win. No one better. And that includes Parkinson.

I wish people would find a different world recognizable, historically significant, asshole to compare politicians to.
@@GenericUsername-qp1ww (sigh)
no. that's not the difference. (Norton is as anti-trump as they come ... have to assume you've never seen his show, much less monologue.) how small you seem here.
but you do you.
@@op3129 the only anti-Trump rhetoric I've heard him spout is when he was high on crack and invited Hitlery Rotten Cunton onto the show. The show is supposed to be for celebs, not tyrannical warmongerer's.
He's a national treasure. He walked past me once in Astoria and shouted at me 'you sexy beast', ever since then i liked him. haha
Are you famous?
That didn't happen
DHOTY
He's the best talk show host alive. He draws out his guests in a way that none of the other hosts can do.
@@titularhero How do you know?
well deserved ;)
That line that Will Smith said about Graham always setting up the guests to win - that's so true. They always come across great.
Unless the quest sabotages themselves like Mark Wahlberg being drunk and obnoxious.
the only talk show that doesn't bore me to death is The Graham Norton Show
and isnt full of liberal propaganda, unlike most of the American ones
What does that have to do with anything? I’m pretty sure Graham Norton is a liberal. Always has to be that ONE guy, ALWAYS to bring up politics.
It is the only talk show I ever watch. The rest aren't worth two bob.
He is the only show that I watch regardless of the guests!
Where Ellen constantly use her status as LGBTQ+ to appear "friendly", Graham just oozes kindness and charisma.
Why would anyone compare them or even have both names in the same sentence.
When did she actually "constantly" use her status as Lesbian to appear friendly?? Lmao. Ur comment ain't making sense & truthfully, away from reality.
@@resurgingflame She's fake. Have you read the news lately? 😂
@@gaysy1st yes. & did u read the op's comment??
@@resurgingflame What has that got to do with anything? Just telling you that the Woman is a fake.
I am an American, and I found Graham Norton's show on RUclips about 3 years ago. I have seen some very talented and funny talk show hosts going back to Johnny Carson, and I Really Believe there has Never been a more talented host of ANYTHING than Graham. I have never seen him have a bad show. No one, in my mind is More Deserving Of This award than him. A True LIVING LEGEND!
My sentiments exactly, right down to being myself also an American who knows all our hosts back to Carson.
American here too. I refuse to watch talk shows here because they're all the same thing with the same sterile environment and questions. Graham's show is truly different and allows people to be human for a while. Cheers to Graham!
I am an Italian and only recently found out about Graham Norton's shows here on RUclips. All the years I've spent studying English have finally paid me back. He's amazing!!!!
vm brister I agree. His abilities to manage the couch no matter who he there are unsurpassed. Absolutely brilliant.
Nobody does it like Graham Norton! I don’t even watch talkshows here in America, but I will cancel my plans for Graham. ❤️❤️❤️
the title should have been: Graham Norton holding in his tears for 9 minutes straight.
I am from Japan , I accidentally watched his show in you tube . Then I can’t stop watching ....keep looking for his show ....I always smile and laugh together as if I am there , among the audience ... and having nice time .., I forget my bad day by watching his show
He is brilliant ...he have this charisma ...and genius
same although I'm from Philippines. this is the only talk show i can watch and binge watch
We brits love Takeshi's Castle
and your cars, motorcycles, electronics, computer games and pretty much everything else you produced throughout the late 20th century to this day.
@King Delevingne Yeah you're right but what difference does it make to the point?
@King Delevingne It's probably a British television show with an Irish host. You sound like a child by your reaction
I can't stop watching too. Even the ones I have seen before. I have to make myself stop so that I can go to bed and wake up for work on time.
Hes holding back his tears for 8minutes, and Iˋm nearly crying after the first seconds. so well deserved! He has the best show ever with the stars!
I noticed at 7.15 and started tearing up😂
Beautiful to watch, so cool to see him laugh and squirm just like the folks on his couch.
Grant Dickey i
If a legend like Dolly Parton says she loves working with you and she has more in common with you than anybody else that's like being knighted. The respect for Graham from all of them is incredible.
Yes, he was struggling to hold it together when she said that. What a tribute.
From the wise words of Kit Harington and I feel like this describes Graham Norton in every way. "You can't lie to Norton. That's like lying to your grandma"
"I go a long long long way to spend an hour with Graham...i just can't be there this evening" lmao Judi Dench is a national treasure and so is Graham!
@Sean Gill Genuinely... from the bottom of my heart... shut up. He's the world's treasure.
@Sean Gill
What part of who gives a fuck do you not understand, half wit?
@Sean Gill he IS irish. proper irish. (as long as brexit is pending ... and trump doesn't know Ireland isn't UK.)
but (and I think you know this) he works for UK (bbc).
I'd think you'd be fucking proud to have "national treasure" for one of Ireland's "first sons" (as US puts notables from an individual state). y'all did (and do) SO good ...
take the (international) win.
@@notahotshot I'd say brexiteers give a f**k? No foreigners and all that 😀
@Sean Gill what are you, 12? Piss off.
0:18
The guy behind Graham: “Who is he talking about?”
The guy next to the guy behind Graham: *points at Graham*
The guy behind Graham: “oh”
Hahahaha good eye
Lol good catch
And he looks like someone who would ask next:
"And who is he?"
And everyone else:
"Just watch the damn vid..."
As someone with bipolar I can honestly say that in some of my darkest hours Graham Norton has brought me light that nobody else could. I’d give this man my heart.
Me too. He lifts my depression.
100% same for me.
Exactly
That's a really poignant comment....I wonder does he even realise what he does for people.
Omg. Echoes my sentiments below. He's really saved me from myself in sleepless nights.
He's the best talk show host alive. He draws out his guests in a way that none of the other hosts can do.
A lot of it is about respect. He is so well known and loved on both sides of the Atlantic that he can ask practically anyone to go on the show and they will. I think the only guest I've ever seen on there who clearly would rather have been somewhere else was Phil Collins.
An openly gay man who's survived a near-death experience has unique credibility. Graham is genuine and his guests feel it.
I really feel like I'm watching his guests as people instead of actors. He brings out the funny and sometimes relatable moments they've had which makes it so fun to watch. Like you're just going out for drinks
For me, the only one who came close was Craig Ferguson. Were they ever on a show together?
thats why theirs a bar at his show LOL
As an American I am jealous of your Ireland's national treasure Graham Norton. He is such a kind, witty and a fun person. And tbh British (Irish) humor is just awesome. 👍🏻
Mom of 3 boys he's Irish that's our humour!@
Tricia English I get it, but I think she meant she loves Irish and English humor. It's more dry and dark than American humor, so either one is welcome.
.... Irish humour.
Pardon Me that's like mixing up Canada and America. different countries different humour NOT the same!!!!
Catriona Murphy I don't get why people get offended when Irish people point out that someone is Irish not English!
Probably one of the only talkshow hosts who almost never interrups his guests
In America we're used to entertainers / celebrities coming on to plug a project and they don't even stay past their segment! By comparison; Graham's program is basically a cocktail party where everyone sits on the same couch, regardless of their level of fame, to share stories and react genuinely to bits happening in real time, all guided so charmingly and deftly by Graham Norton, whose craft at all of this is so inviting and warm and intoxicating! Johnny Carson may be our Gold Standard, but Graham is a bit more like Dean Martin! His show is unpredictable, sometimes messy, but always the party you'd like to be at most! ALL awards are deserved for this sweet and lovely guy!
Us shows are about plugging, advertising or supporting something first and foremost. The BBC being funded by we license payers instead of any for-profit organisation has some of the most stringent anti-advertising policies so if you want to plug something you have to find a creative way to do it. If other UK advertiser-funded networks have chat shows, many exactly the same as US shows, and the BBC wants to compete with them then it has to find a creative way to do it so Graham Norton (and to a lesser extent Jonathan Ross) were the BBC coming up with a way to have a chat show of their own and let Hollywood and the music industry promote their movie and music stars, but have it all completely unscripted to avoid any allegations of advertising a product.
OFCOM, the TV regulator, can't complain if Will Smith just happens to mention his latest movie in the midst of an hour of entertainment, because it wasn't directly asked of him by Graham, Will "just mentioned it" or it came up in the middle of discussion. In the early days big studios and music publishers actively avoided the BBC on their promotion circuit when promoting a movie or album because the whole idea is to plug what you are selling and you can't do that on the BBC, it was only after folks like Graham and Jonathan started to draw huge viewers that promoters saw the appeal of putting their stars on a show even if they couldn't openly promote their product. The product would promote itself, people would go see the movie or buy the album anyway after seeing a star on the show.
They don't even have to mention that they have a new album out, if you see Dolly Parton on a TV in the UK you immediately think "Oooh, Dolly is still around, I wonder if she's still making music?" and a bunch of folks buy her album for themselves, or loved ones or whoever. The BBC have their chat show and promoters have their sales.
Rob Fraser interesting point. Do you remember Michael Aspel had a popular chat show on ITV in the late eighties? he had a show where one week the guests were Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis and the whole show was them just shamelessly plugging Planet Hollywood and Bruce Willis actually sang . Michael Aspel quit and never did his chat show again
In the US we have PBS (public funded TV) why they've never tried to put together a show like Graham's is beyond me. I would think they would benefit immensely.
Not gonna lie...i had a little tear roll down my cheek....
I like Graham Norton.
One tear? I flooded my room for how much honest joy you feel from that man. If there were more people like him, this world would be so much happier.
Miss Amazon love him 💖
I've watched his show since it was mostly sex toys! He is just a good soul
He’s becoming more popular here in America because of RUclips.
You can tell the stars enjoy being on his show
Pains me to say as an American, but he's just so much better than any of our talkshow hosts.
Joshua Linker I mean u have Ellen DeGenres
Degeneres
Ellen couldn't wipe graham Nortons shoes.. graham is in a league of his own far above anyone else
I’ve always thought Ellen seems so much more robotic. I don’t know how to describe it, but I think people enjoy being on Graham Norton’s show more because it’s so much more comfortable and like talking to a friend or someone you know, not an interview on tv.
Joshua Linker Ellen and conan are amazing but graham is the talk show God
So happy for Graham!
Well it's about bloody time! The magnitude of his guests are a reflection on how great he is!
Far far better than any of the American hosts, he is truly world reaching
Totally agree . My U.S.A has nothing CLOSE to Graham !
The Americans are too uptight for some of his humor
@@13nlsc sorry you’ve met uptight Americans. I’m from America and quite a few of us with our Irish heritage aren’t uptight. You know like Graham also being Irish and best talk host in GB.✌️
Also Graham is 100% better than any of the late night parrots here in the USA.
THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW IS THE BEST TALK SHOW! EVER!!!
Graham Norton show is my favorite. He really deserve it.
As an American, i can tell you he's the greatest host of a talk show in the history of the world. Hands down. Brilliance.
I'll tell you the kind of man Graham Norton is... a local school in Ireland invited him to come visit after they did some thing I can't remember... anyway they doubted he'd come ... yep you guessed it, he turns up on his vw golf... everybody said he was the nicest down to earth guy you'd ever meet. But sure you probably already knew that, that's why you are here.
Great comment 💯. People are actually bitching about him outta jealousy. Irish boy did good. He's a treasure to us. They think his talk show persona is real. The real Graham is wonderful and a true gentleman and not as fourth coming as he portrays on the show.
Yeah it was the school I went to, Bandon grammar school in cork. He is so down to earth
@deantirmizi no this school was in Tralee .... ;) this only goes to show he visits a lot of schools ... fair play to him
It still feels great to see an Irishman who’s made it
my thought exactly, not bad for an Irish Pouf. defied the odds and can tell the lot of them to piss off when they come hating. Good On Him, we're lucky to have im.
world number 1 at what he does
altho we have well n truly stolen him :P
@@DubFocus89 Just last week I watched him being interviewed about his latest book for Australian television. When probed about the Irish setting of his book, Graham admitted that after living in a small part of London for 20 years, he couldn't tell you much about life in England. Therefore, he found it natural that he went back to what he knew and experienced in his life, 1970's Ireland. We Brits have taken to him like we did with Wogan, but we must acknowledge that what Graham is, comes from Ireland.
He should fight Connor mcgregor
Graham's a bloody treasure. You, Brits/Irish are very lucky.
Entertain Me Now (
Look at how confidently he ran up the stairs! He’s perfectly at home even THERE!
I'm glad Graham has gotten some recognition. He truly deserves it. I've never seen big stars/musicians/etc relax so much on an interviewers show EVER. He truly gets everyone loose and it's just like....watching a conversation between some friends. You know the kinds...where you are laughing till you cannot breathe but you cannot remember why you're laughing lol.
Conversation between friends describes Grahams show perfectly.
NashaWriter85 yes, this is so true, and he makes you feels as though you are one of them, on the sofa too!
Don't forget the alcohol. (Not taking away from his talent).
Even when i dont like the guest... i still watch the show cause i know it's going to be funny!! that's a really special talent!
good point well made.
His face when his mother came on. Priceless.
this man is magnificent. He talks to every celebrity like he's known them all his life.
Need laugh? The answer is always Graham Norton! :) Greetings from balkan.
A wonderful collage, such a well deserved award! He's a natural!
Sunny Bear ń
Will Smith gets to the core of why we love Graham so much and why he is SO good at what he does. Every host could learn something from him. James Corden is also good, but in his own style.
I think James Corden wants to be Graham Norton when he grows up.
I love Will too. Another lovely guy!
I think unfortunately James has really adapted his humour to be American and it's all a bit scripted & fake BUT he actually is so naturally funny he should have just been more like himself like he was here in the UK.
Graham has an ability to be himself and make both Brits & Americans (and others) laugh which is amazing as it can be very different humour.
@@photographsdaily33 i'm sure you're right about James. I will search for UK James now, which i wouldn't have done if it weren't for your reply, so thank you! :)
@@energybengt Yess please do! Try watching him in like an interview with Graham Norton before his move to America he's more natural, could try watching some of 'A league of their own'. You could even try the programme Gavin & Stacey which he acts in and he and a woman called Ruth Jones wrote together (that is very British humour though aha)
I also feel like slightly awkward when he's pretending to be mean cause he's a nice guy and he's good at comedy & I feel like sometimes he takes the easy route
I'm American and I can say without a doubt Graham is my favorite talk show host, since Letterman retired anyway. He actually lets the guests talk! What a novel idea.
I find him even better than Letterman at handling guests. Second only to Johnny Carson.
Letterman was awful with most guests. He only bothered with the few people he liked
His mum is fantastic a true Irish mother. Well done Graham "Maith an fear"
She is a good Belfast mother.
@@johnking5174, They are not from Belfast but The Republic, Waterford or thereabouts.
@@stephanieyee9784 Graham said his mum was from "the big smoke" meaning Belfast, if you watched his Who Do You Think You Are, you would have seen him visit Belfast where his grandparents lived.
John King Oh , I love that show! I would have loved to see the episode about Graham! I also never knew he went to Dollywood! I maybe could get someone to help me find these episodes. Because I am terrible at tech! 💝🙉
John King Greetings from California. 🌻
I watch it here in Sweden. I have noticed that every Hollywood celebrity seems to genuinly enjoy being there. It's not so stiff as in American talkshows, they can have a drink and relax and swear and just have fun.
He is honestly the best entertainer in the UK right now. I look forward to every Friday night because of him, and I dread the day he says he is finishing the show. A true national treasure.
Remember Graham is not English but an Irish man ;) ... an Irish National Treasure. Yes! xD
He grew up Protestant, so English really ;-)
thepuredrop79 What sort of logic is this? Out first President was Protestant. Our biggest national sporting trophy is named after a Protestant. At one end of of nation’s main boulevard is the Catholic Emancipator, Daniel O’Connell. At the other end a Protestant, Charles Stewart Parnell. Grattan, Protestant. Wolfe Tone, Protestant. Teeling, Protestant. McCracken, Protestant. Casement, Protestant. Bulmer Hobson, Protestant. Napped Tandy, Protestant. Sheares Brothers, Protestant.
Read a fucking book.
thepuredrop79 Also, I saw the wink so I know you’re only ripping the piss, so excuse the snippy response. It’s just that you see a lot of similar comments that are posted in earnest. Fucks me off no end.
No worries David, no offence taken.
I love love love what Will said about it being a tennis match that he sets you up to win, it's so true.
He is so adorable how he keeps looking at the screens and trying to keep his emotions in check. Just wanna give him a hug. :)
True that!
Graham Norton show is far better and funnier than all American late night shows put together.
Because the show is pleasant, not fake and most important - The host is naturally funny unlike Fallon or Kimmel!
The main problem with Fallon is that he always has to be the "star" of his show, the guest is just decoration!
GrettelS2602 so true, he's not pleasant to watch because he's like a 10 year old class clown
+niawest +thiruvetti exactly what I was thinking.... so you feel the need to put down an entire country? Not to mention America's not the center of the fucking universe so the reference isn't needed to begin with.
thiruvetti very true..best globally
I think the main difference is that Graham actually invites guests that he likes, unlike other american shows where it's all about promotion.
Awww, tears and chills. I love this!! A genuine good man! A light and blessing for us all. All the best to you Sir and to your whole crew and staff and audience and guests. You do it perfectly!! Thankful!! This coming from an American. Our shows and hosts could learn a lot from you
bob rail and you are calling him foul mouthed....?!
Steven Daniels That bob rail person made the same comment in several places here. Always gotta be one sad sack with nothing nice to say and generally unable to be happy for some else's well deserved success.
4:48 Love how he goes “oh my god, this is so long!” and its only about halfway done. He’s done so much great stuff that needs to be celebrated!
He seems like one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet in showbusiness. He draws stories out of people so naturally. All the guests on his talk show look like they're having the time of their lives, and that's what makes his show so incredibly fun to watch.
This and David Tennant's reaction to his award are the sweetest videos on RUclips.
So cool that Hugh Bonneville could do the intro for Graham's award! Such a shame though that he didn't wear his red lippy and a woolly jumper! :P
I’ve grown up watching him and I just love him. I’ve seen so many people come to life of his sofa. When I read the hunger games I always pictured Graham as the host that everyone loved, Caesar Flickerman. What a legend.
I’m from Russia. All my friends love Graham Norton’s show. Whenever I feel down or exhausted either emotionally or physically) I always just turn on his show and everything feels great again. ❤️
@Klaymen ..why?
To summarize, he's better than every other talk show host. BETTER than every other . Everytime he host is like a big family having a good old night chat. You don't see this in other talk shows.
Graham Norton show makes life so easier.he is my stress buster.Whenever I feel low,I just open any of his videos and forget about the pain.He's a magician.
Same like me
I find myself returning to this video every once in awhile - it’s so sweet ♥️ Brings a smile to my face no matter how rainy the day
He looks like he didn’t know this was coming ahaha
Waffles.... I had that impression but how could he not?? Maybe he really didn't know. I'm not sure how their award show works
He did not know. this was a special award and he had no idea.
No he didnt know that's why they showed his reaction
This is one of the only awards given on the night when the recipient doesn't have a clue that they are getting it
Love Graham, shame RTE couldn't recognise his talent and he had to move to the UK to make his career. All Irelands best get exported to the UK and the US
StarMonkies true dat!! I'm sorry but RTE is shit!!
StarMonkies and we get stuck with the tubs on The late late...l never watch Ryan Tubs
. He's always uptight and condescending to guests.
Mrs Tracey Ní Breitheamh-Nesbitt. He would never have reached the heights he's at now if he hadn't moved, it' not just shoddy management. Your options are limited in a country as small as Ireland, and the UK is a big cultural exporter, second only to the US I'd say. When it's a stone throw away, why wouldn't you move there if a life in entertainment is your goal? He never would have stayed mate. That's the truth.
RTÉ are too busy with their heads shoved up Ryan Tubridy and Ray D'Arcy asses not to mention giving all our TV license money to them
This is true
Graham Norton is THE BEST talk show host in the entire world today. Do not bother, I do not accept debate. I'm from Argentina.
He should be given an International award, really🙌🏼 Saved so many souls during the gloomy first years of pandemic. Sometimes his shows were the only light that shone during the hard days of depression and uncertainty. Laughter is an international healer. God bless him! 🙏
How many likes can we get for him to become SIR Graham Norton
@gnilttbs Sir Terry Wogan , Sir Bob Geldof?
@gnilttbs I know this, but Graham Norton may apply for British citizenship due to Brexit. PS You are a supercilious little twerp, and Terry Wogan HAD British citizenship.
@gnilttbs I can't be bothered to read that tripe. Take the chip off your shoulder you ghastly character. Goodbye.
Depends if they are from Northern Ireland(British) or Southern Ireland(Republic, not British)
@@glenaitken3471 southern ireland is not the correct term. Republic of Ireland. There are counties up north that are part of the republic.
I cried for him so happy for him. All the tears he held in omg 😭
Graham is a brilliant host. He brings out the best in his guests and handles occasional tricky ones with aplomb.
I'm not British but I just love watching Graham Norton on RUclips. He just has a way of bringing out the best of all his guests and I've never seen a talk show host deal with multiple celebrities from diverse parts of the entertainment world at once and somehow have them all chat so comfortably together like he does. And you can feel that the guests are genuinely having a great time on his couch. Love it.
Love the positivity in this comment section :) Congratulations, Graham!
I think to be told "hey, you're damn good at what you do, and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us" is somethin every human on the planet would love to hear, and Graham Norton damn sure deserved to hear it....he's got a fan here in San Jose, Calif (Silicon Valley) for as long as he's on the air...
My mother worked in the Bedford Pub in Balham during the 90's. The banana caberet hosted a lot of up and coming comedians, many of whom are famous now. My mother got to know Graham Norton as he did that circuit a lot in his younger days. She always said he was the nicest of them all. Always had time to chat to people, really down to earth and funny. She reckons he literally had not changed one bit with his fame. Aside from this I honestly believe he is the greatest late night talkshow host. He sweaps all others, past and present, under the carpet. A true TV legend. Well deserved Mr Norton.
Couldn't have gone to a nicer person; I have never seen him life but I live for his shows kindly shown on YT... Congratulations and LONG MAY YOU GO ON
I'm from South Africa and personally he is my fav host ever. even if I don't know or like the guests he has on I'll still watch it because of him
I'm from south africa too!!! And i love Graham Norton as well!! Are we the same person... am i having an out of body experience?
Fellow South Africans!
He seems very aware of the camera like he is uncomfortable reacting whilst being so close up
As an American, I've only seen Graham Norton's show in RUclips clips, but I've always thought he was the best host I've ever seen. His warmth and brilliance shine through, and you can tell that he really does want his guests to have a good time. He really is special.
his moistness?
Duncan Mackenzie I dont get it either
+Robert Ri down to earth? idk
I think they just mean that he's not dry, in that there's nothing rough about him; he's just joyful and and genuine in all that he does and his attitude/personality.
Duncan Mackenzie it's most likely a reference to a joke from the show
MMFY got it. It's a British term for friendliness.
an amazing person !!
He's trying not to cry! He deserves more! He's awesome!
The Graham Norton show is the best talk show out there
