I have never heard of Graham Norton? Why is it big? "Ignorant European again.." It's the UK's biggest prime-time chat show on the main BBC1 channel. Graham always has really big names on - and it's hilarious!!!! IMO Adam is the perfect fit - I've wanted this forever!! Yes, I am unusually excited  Thanks! So sounds great! Shoshanna knows what she is doing! |

Question: Will this be his first appearance, or is this the one that he was on previously? First appearance!!!! Thanks! I have Comcast and had no idea that I get BBC. Just now set it to record Saturday night so I can check it out (Scissor Sisters performing, Cameron Diaz, etc.) |

If I remember correctly, don't the guests usually stay on the dias with Graham as new guests are introduced? And they all talk together, so it's like a really great dinner party, not just three minutes of preplanned Q&A and then cut to commercial...

For those who are not familiar with Graham Norton, he has a 1 hour chat show that attracts really great guests. He is a (very) out gay man and is very funny. He often has his guests do skits and odd things, so Adam is a perfect fit and will probably end up doing something a little crazy. GN also does a lot of hosting gigs in the UK and is VERY well known. If you can go to the BBC site, you could probably view some of the episodes online. My dream would be for him to have Adam and John Barrowman on at the same time--now that would really be epic!

Wikipedia says:
"A typical (Graham Norton) show is made up of one big celebrity name, a comedian sitting in the aforementioned comedy chair and a well-known musical personality who will all be introduced after the monologue. Sometimes three guests are introduced at the top of the show with the musical guest brought in about 10 to 15 minutes before the end of the show.
"The show does not end with the musical performance, but with an audience participation segment called That's All We've Got Time For, where audience members sit in the famous red chair and begin to tell a humorous story. Graham and his guests listen to the stories and if Graham gets bored, he pulls the lever and the chair falls backwards, dumping the speaker from it."
