The Graham Norton Show is a BBC chat show initially running on BBC Two from 2007, then on BBC One from 2009. Airing late on Friday evenings, it is hosted by Graham Norton, an Irish-born comedian who'd previously presented more niche, adult-oriented chat shows.The show has a freewheeling style, with all guests coming on at the same time and talking with each other as much as Graham. The fun is helped along by Graham's affability, a research department that is exceptionally adept at digging up little details that even the guests have forgotten about, and a healthy amount of alcohol to loosen tongues.The last part is occasionally responsible for sending shows off the rail, such as when Mark Wahlberg infamously showed up drunk to one taping, more or less hijacked the proceedings, and made entertainment news headlines.Most shows are capped with "Stories From The Red Chair", where audience members tell stories in the eponymous chair. If the story is uninteresting, or if Graham or guest simply takes a disliking to the person in the chair, the unfortunate individual is ejected thanks to a handy lever Graham keeps at his side. | |

Celebrity Resemblance | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_1af2b763 | comment |
Celebrity Resemblance: Dame Judi Dench discussed in this interview how her grandson looks very similar to Ed Sheeran, including an incident where the two of them were stopped by people who asked for a photo, and then told Judi "No, not you." Ed Sheeran himself, when he appears on the show, also addressed this—claiming that he has had no shortage of fans "thanking" him for either being asked out or getting laid by women for being mistaken for him. And then, the other similarly-looking ginger on the couch, comedian Josh Widdecombe, laments all he got for it was mistaken abuse directed for Ed. An episode with Matt Smith had a man in the Red Chair also named Matt, who as Jimmy Carr put it "looks more like you than you do." When Bryce Dallas Howard and Thandiwe Newton appeared together, they related how they tend to get mistaken frequently for Jessica Chastain and Zoe Saldaña, respectively. (Howard even suggests this is Older Than They Think—in that apparently, her and Chastain share many acquaintances who even tend to mistake them even before they got to Hollywood.) | |

Black Comedy: Graham takes an astonishing amount of delight at reading Nicole Kidman a letter from the Honolulu Zoo, which states that Hōkūlani, an elephant with which she shares a Hawaiian name due to them being born around the same time, was murdered by another elephant because it was jealous of the affection she was receiving. | |

Femininity Failure: Jennifer Lawrence happily talks about an Epic Fail when she tried to be an Abercrombie & Fitch model - she did a photo-shoot with other models playing football on the beach. Her pictures never came out and when her agent wrote to ask why, they only responded with the pictures, which showed Jennifer with a Game Face, nostrils flared and sweat pouring down her nose. | |

| The Graham Norton Show / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: When a Red Chair guest from Mexico told his story, Salma Hayek was able to guess what the punchline was and could be seen chuckling to herself before he had finishednote He had a gordito stand in London and decided to shout out his product name as they do in Mexico City. Unfortunately one day there were a lot of Spanish tourists around, and 'gordito' also translates as "little fat boy". Jessica Chastain and Kirsten Dunst gleefully tell people their favorite German curse words. | |

Hidden Depths: Some interesting background details about various guests can be revealed: Dan Stevens did stand-up comedy in college. Tom Cruise can do a Donald Duck impression. Rebel Wilson is trained in how to use nunchucks. Seth MacFarlane in addition to being the Man of a Thousand Voices is actually a really good singer too. Kate Beckinsale apparently plays around with a pantomime horse costume when bored. Graham is an agony uncle for The Daily Telegraph, a job he takes entirely seriously. | |

Sex Sells: When Charlize Theron couldn't describe the plot of A Million Ways to Die in the West, she resorted to saying "I'm naked in it" to sell it. While promoting Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice they mentioned a scene of Superman and Lois in a bath, and Graham realized "we're really selling tickets now" - and Ben Affleck then said Wonder Woman was in the bath as well. She isn't really. | |

Wham Line | |

Wham Line: One Red Chair story featured a young woman who happened to be from the same town as guest Paul Rudd. When asked by Graham if, by chance, the story involved the actor, the woman said no but that Rudd "did go to high school with my parents, though!" Cue Rudd doubling over in embarrassment, Dame Helen Mirren double facepalming in sympathy, and Graham yanking the lever. Another Red Chair story — in an episode with Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Dawn French, and Chris O'Dowd as the guests — featured a young man who talked about a rowdy babysitter practically destroying the house one night. When the angry mother returned home, she turned to the babysitter and said "you're in real trouble, Chris O'Dowd, when I tell your mother about this", prompting an Eye Take from the gentleman on the couch. When coming onto the show to promote Logan, Patrick Stewart shocked everyone by saying that he decided that the film would be his last as Professor X. The most shocked was Hugh Jackman, sitting right next to him, who was rendered completely speechless as Graham also stared wordlessly. | |

Crazy-Prepared: The research department is able to discover some truly obscure and embarrassing facts about guests and have evidence prepared to back up their claims (such as somehow finding Melissa McCarthy's original headshots when she was convinced she had the only copies left). The show even has contingencies in place for if a guest takes the lever away from Graham to prevent him from flipping people in the Big Red Chair (he just has to mime cranking the lever to signal the booth to play the sound effect and activate the chair). | |

| The Graham Norton Show / int_8593b49 | comment |
Twerp Sweating: A couple of the male guests have talked about dreading their daughters dating and their (usually bad) attempts at trying to be intimidating in front of the boyfriends. Sean Penn sent his daughter up to her room so that he could get a few minutes alone with her first boyfriend. He attempted to be intimidating but didn't really do a good job of it. Penn noted that even if he really wanted to, he wouldn't have been able to intimidate the boyfriend because he was a champion MMA fighter. Mark Wahlberg talked about attempting to do this when he met his eldest daughter's boyfriend for the first time, even bringing along two burly friends to try and be even more intimidating. He was completely caught off guard when the boy brought his mother and was quickly won over by the fact that the kid was more polite and respectful towards him than his own child. He came to like the boyfriend so much that he was thinking up ways to ensure that the relationship would last and result in marriage. | |

In Vino Veritas | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_96d2ce42 | comment |
In Vino Veritas: Practically every guest on the show is provided with alcohol before and during tapings which helps the wacky and loose style of the show. Mark Wahlberg once infamously came on completely soused and practically hijacked the show with his antics and rambling. Graham's response: "I've probably done worse." Hayden Panettiere had also had a few when she appeared alongside Dan Stevens and Micky Flanagan. During the musical performance, she got up onto the stage and danced with the back-up dancers. The episode involving the three stars of The Monuments Men (Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Hugh Bonneville) also became infamous for this (since the three of them downed every glass served to them), with the antics being taken up a notch when Paloma Faith joined them on the couch. To quote their co-star George Clooney when he appeared in a later episode: When promoting X-Men: Apocalypse, Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy came on clearly loaded. Jennifer even made a not-so-subtle Take That! to Donald Trump. | |

Separated by a Common Language | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_a8abe9d1 | comment |
Separated by a Common Language: Due to Graham often mixing American and UK performers together, this happens frequently. For example: As mentioned, literally any time John Bishop is on the show. To the point to where in one episode with him, Matthew Fox and Diane Kruger, this happened. Anna Kendrick trying to explain to the British audience what power bars and trail mix are. Reese Witherspoon had a bit of a delayed reaction to a Red Chair story where a woman talked about hoovering up a budgie (known to Americans as a parakeet), only getting the full impact several seconds later when Robert Pattinson explained that a budgie is a type of small bird. In the very next story, the entire studio is in stitches because it's being told by an Australian with both a strong accent and Australian slang. Lily Tomlin admitted she couldn't understand most of Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges' stories due to his thick Scottish accent - and to a lesser extent, neither could Chris Hemsworth. Ron Howard, who was also on the couch, seemed to understand him. Jane Fonda was a bit confused as to why the audience was giggling over the title of Our Souls At Night and burst out laughing when it was explained to her that "our souls" sounds extremely similar to "arseholes" ("assholes" to Americans). A variant of this often occurs when an American celebrity appears with UK celebrities from popular franchises that they are not familiar with. (For example, when Karen Gillan appeared alongside Jennifer Lopez, Lopez appeared confused by some of the discussion related to Gillan's series, Doctor Who, which she was unfamiliar with, forcing Graham to explain a few things.) | |

Odd Friendship | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_a94eaaa4 | comment |
Odd Friendship: Sometimes, even the oddest guest combinations hit it off and produce the most interesting and funny episodes. In fact, a panel comprised of the major cast of one movie can normally be classified a bland episode—unless the cast hits off really well precisely because of their disparate backgrounds. The producers are so well-aware of this there is even an official video highlighting some of these moments. James Corden got on astonishingly well with Jessica Biel. After her Big Eater moment outlined above, his response was "I honestly didn't think I could find you more attractive" and she made jokes about him making a pass at her routinely. Sarah Millican also got involved, and excitedly compared food stories with Jessica. Gérard Depardieu, Damian Lewis and Olly Murs. It started with them all sharing their own personal 'accidental peeing' stories and went uphill from there. Zac Efron, Matt Le Blanc and Lee Mack. Miriam Margolyes and Will.i.am. Bill Bailey, in the context of this show, usually serves as the Odd Friend to the Hollywood guests in his appearances, like Denzel Washington, Nicholas Hoult, Julianne Moore, Cuba Gooding Jr., Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain. Which is a remarkable feat for a comedian (considering they normally stick out like a sore thumb in the conversation when lumped with Hollywood guests and/or pop stars). Taylor Swift and Saoirse Ronan, after the former gushed about the latter's performance in Hanna. Katy Perry and James Corden. Graham and Robert De Niro. De Niro enjoys being on the show enough to have made multiple appearances over the years despite disliking going on chat shows. He continues to be as reticent as ever, but Graham's gotten him to open up more than any other chat show host by making sure that the panels are loaded with people De Niro's worked with who can prod him to tell stories of their past projects. Lady Gaga and June Brown. The aforementioned panel of Matt Damon, Bill Murray, and Hugh Bonneville could also count. Dame Julie Andrews and Jonah Hill, who walked out announcing they were engaged and flirted playfully throughout the night. Also in that same interview, Andrews and Pharrell Williams. Samuel L. Jackson and Keira Knightley. This clip from the tail-end of the episode when both of them talk about shooting sex scenes in film is surreally hilarious. Sir Ian McKellen and One Direction. Sir Ian came out wearing a One Direction t-shirt too. In a unique case of the entire guest lineup actually managing to do this (precisely because of their disparate work mixed with mutual Self-Deprecation): Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Cara Delevingne. Julie Walters and 50 Cent, to the degree where he allowed her to feel his gunshot wounds in his mouth, as shown in this clip. Tom Hanks and Peter Capaldi played up how they both won Oscars at the same ceremony in 1995 (Capaldi winning for a Live-Action Short the same year Hanks won his second Best Actor award for Forrest Gump) so as to tease David Walliams about not having one, as shown in this clip. Greg Davies and Ryan Gosling hit it off a little, as noted under Corpsing above, and got on quite well. Greg Davies also managed to strike up a bromance with Anthony Joshua on both of their appearances together, and it is glorious. Michael Bublé, Carey Mulligan, and Taron Egerton, all bound by their vocal talents - to the point to where Michael even excitingly, yet jokingly (we assume) said that they should form a band. This relationship blossomed further once Sir Ian McKellen came on later in the show, wanting in on this band idea. Additionally, this was Michael's first appearance on the show since a nearly-tragic family emergency made him take a break from the industry for a year, and gushed to Graham about how much he loved the show and being on with all these celebrities, continuing to gush over everyone on the couch. David Tennant and Gloria Estefan both appeared together on the show in 2018 and hit it off, then appeared together again in 2019. Michael Sheen said that he fell in love with Gloria after watching that episode. | |

Only it wasn't a piece of ice, it was an enormous fly that he'd partially chewed! Kristen Wiig was beside herself as the audience reacted in disgust. | |

Retool | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_b2283870 | comment |
Retool: The Spring 2020 series was this out of necessity, due to the COVID-19 pandemic - the show was filmed from Graham's home, with all interviews conducted separately via video conferencing. The show was reduced in length to 30 minutes, and brought forward from its usual late-night slot to an earlier one in primetime. This was resolved in the following Autumn series, however the set was redesigned to conform to rules and regulations regarding social distancing, including the big red couch being replaced by individual chairs placed around the set, roundtable style, spaced apart to give the guests enough room, and the massive audience was reduced to about 100 people, sectioned off into social bubbles (and later replaced with a virtual audience when tightening restrictions in response to the virus' second wave in the UK made it impossible to have a physical one). Additionally, some guests (i.e. basically every American guest) were brought in via remote contact. | |

Squee: Emilia Clarke, being of the generation that grew up with Friends, was so excited to be sitting next to Matt Le Blanc on the couch and asked if he could say his Catchphrase for her. She was reduced to giggles when he asked: "How y'doin'?". Subsequently, Camila Cabello was spazzing out without shame after being invited on the couch with Emilia and Jason Momoa, clearly a fan of the 1st season of Game of Thrones. She even brought a toy Shoulder-Sized Dragon. Christine and the Queens upon meeting the four stars of Ghostbusters (2016), to the point where she starts blushing. The four do a pretty good job easing her nerves, saying they're fans of hers as well (Leslie Jones offers to be a backup dancer). On the same note, Olly Alexander of Years & Years was perhaps even more excited to meet the stars of Ocean's 8, particularly Rihanna, who he was gushing over relentlessly, and vehemently (yet good-naturedly) defended the ribbing she was getting from the other stars of the film. | |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: A lot of American guests (especially if it's their first time on the show) will self-censor and ask if it's okay to say certain words, not realizing that the British are more lax about profanity and obscenity than they're used to. Because of this, you have people like Michelle Pfeiffer asking if she can say "hell" and Whoopi Goldberg asking if it was all right for her to say "pubic hair" on air. | |

That Came Out Wrong: Emma Stone meant to say she was in China and saw a woman using a toilet on the floor. What she actually said: she saw a woman pooing on the floor. Graham said that Charlize Theron was raised around animals, but he said she was "very comfortable around animals". Matt Le Blanc apologized to Emilia Clarke for only having seen the first season of Game of Thrones to which she replied: "You've seen the good bits" only to break out laughing because she realized she just made a reference to her nude scenes. | |

Audience Participation | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_dd91f8d8 | comment |
Audience Participation: The audience is usually involved somehow with Graham's opening skit before the titles. Graham usually talks to audience members who have submitted stories (usually embarrassing) beforehand. Often, the person telling the story is a huge fan of one of the guests on that particular episode. The "Story in the Red Chair" at the end of each episode, where a few members of the audience sit in the eponymous chair backstage, telling an embarrassing story about themselves to Graham and the guests through his computer screen. If the story is good, they are allowed to walk off but if it is bad or boring, Graham pulls a lever beside him and they are tossed backward. When Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Jamie Foxx appeared to promote The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Graham got several members to demonstrate their 'special abilities'. When Jennifer Aniston guest starred, Graham casually said "so no one told you life was gonna be this way" and the crowd did the synchronized clap from the Friends theme song. Jennifer was genuinely moved by the gesture. And they did it whenever someone else said that line throughout the episode. This gag was brought back for Matthew Perry's appearance on the show two years later (albeit only in the cold open). When Justin Timberlake appeared, various audience members demonstrated their favorite dance moves. Justin assisted one lady with hers. | |

Height Angst | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_e59315cf | comment |
Height Angst: On multiple appearances, Tom Holland, who is 5' 8", has cheerfully complained about how annoying it is to act alongside co-stars who are much taller than he is. Such as when shooting scenes with Chris Pratt, who is 6' 3", for Avengers: Endgame and how he accidentally ended up looking shorter because he was standing in a dip on set when cameras started rolling. And about shooting Spider-Man stunts with Zendaya, who's 5' 10", and how the rigging needs to be set to her height for safety reasons, causing him to often swing uncontrollably during landings (since her feet land first), resulting in Zendaya instinctively catching him in a bridal carry, frustrating him because he's supposed to be the hero. | |

Old Shame | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_e6c88e42 | comment |
Old Shame: Graham will almost always try (good-naturedly, of course) to dig out some of the more embarrassing things his guests ever did: Melissa McCarthy's first headshots. Billie Piper's early music career. Peter Capaldi hilariously cringing at his old modeling photos, the punk band he was in with Craig Ferguson, or his childhood letters to the Doctor Who producers. Harrison Ford accidentally punching Ryan Gosling in the face for real while filming Blade Runner 2049. On that same note, any time the Oscars La La Land/Moonlight (2016) mix-up is mentioned to a guest who was at the event who had a notable reaction. (i.e., Ryan Gosling's stifled laugh, Naomie Harris — who was in Moonlight, the film that did end up winning — describing the chaos or Dwayne Johnson's concerned people's eyebrow), Graham even went as far to actually get Warren Beatty on to talk about it. Matt LeBlanc doing a film with a baseball-playing chimpanzeenote not even a real one, just an animatronic robot. Needling Benedict Cumberbatch for his chronicly pronouncing "penguins" as "pengwings". Christoph Waltz hosting a children's educational show. Making George Clooney apologize for Batman & Robin (for the umpteenth time). Colin Farrell's various bad haircuts in movies (prompting Farrell to joke a bit about some of the bad reviews he received for Alexander, including how he probably shouldn't have had an Irish accent). Subverted with Kirsten Dunst and a commercial she did as a child for a toy called Baby Uh-Oh, where she was happy to see it again. She explained that when the kids at school would make fun of her for it, she would gleefully respond by telling them how much money she made. If Graham won't do it, the other guests will (cf. Sharon Osbourne recalling Colin Farrell's sex tape, Jack Whitehall making a joke about Johnny Depp's then-recent customs incident while he was on the couch - which Johnny took in stride and even took the mick out of himself - or Stephen Fry and Robert Duvall ribbing Robert Downey Jr. for his time in rehab). In one episode, Tom Hiddleston performed an impression of Robert De Niro from Heat in front of the latter (to De Niro's amusement). He humorously admitted in his next appearance on the program that it had instantly left him incredibly embarrassed. Sarah Paulson smelling Cher's hair unbeknownst to her. Cher was on the episode after this, but it wasn't brought up. It was brought up on Sarah's next appearance, in which she then told Graham that she ended up meeting her not long after that and said that she had no idea that she was smelling her hair. Digging up an old Japanese TV ad that Jennifer Connelly did as a teenager and the jingle she sang that happened to become a hit. She barely remembered doing it and could only cringe when forced to watch it. | |

One-Steve Limit: Jennifer Saunders related a story from early in her career where another woman using the stage name Jennifer Saunders was discovered - as a porn actress. Kirsten Dunst and Jessica Chastain hit it off when they discovered that both of them were playing characters named 'Sarah' in their respective upcoming movies (Dunst in Midnight Special and Chastain in The Huntsman: Winter's War). Raleigh Richie then joked that his character on Game of Thrones will be renamed Sarah too. Sara (without an H) Pascoe told a story about a woman named Sarah (with an H) Pascoe who kept getting abuse on Twitter from her detractors thinking that she was Sara, and so that Sarah had to change her bio to "not the one who was shit on Live at The Apollo". | |

Brick Joke | |
| The Graham Norton Show / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Chris O'Dowd noticed a large fly in the studio, prompting a brief discussion on the best way to kill a fly. A few minutes later, O'Dowd takes a sip of his drink and discovers, to his horror, that the fly had landed in it and he'd partially chewed the bug! One audience member interviewed by Graham mentions offhandedly in this clip that she had ditched a date to come to the show. Later on, who should appear in the Red Chair to ask for another date than the guy she ditched? In response, she asks Kylie Minogue to pull the lever on him, which even Graham thinks is cold. Crossover example: Charlie Hunnam told a story on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (to substitute host Kristen Bell) about how he was asked by the most popular girl in his school to be her prom date, much to his excitement. But then one day before the prom, she told him she was only joking and ended up going with another man instead. He ended up having to go alone, but his sweet mom offered to come with him. A week or so after telling this story on that show, he appears on The Graham Norton Show, and when they get to the Red Chair, one of the first people on the chair is a man named Sebastian, who tells a similar story of asking a girl out to the prom, not realizing she was going with someone else - that someone else was Charlie. The penny then dropped for Charlie, much to his amusement and everyone else's. | |
