StatisticalOutlier November 2 Share November 2 Since there's so little traffic, and setting up a thread for an episode is kind of a PITA with listing the episode number and the guests, I'll try doing an all episodes thread. So I'll proceed to name the guests 😄 but the couch with Eddie Redmayne, Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Denzel Washington was fairly enjoyable. Nothing epic, but a nice way to spend a highly edited hour. I felt bad for the history guy Redmayne was talking about who worked on the Jackal movie and then went right to work on Gladiator. Paul Mescal knew him, but Washington was like, "Who??" Sure, he was a gladiator wrangler and Washington wasn't involved with that, but still. Also, sometimes Washington's top front teeth are all that shows when he smiles and he looks like a rabbit. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/
dubbel zout November 2 Share November 2 Eddie Redmayne is a BEC for me, so I'm never thrilled to see him. I loved how Saoirse Ronan shut the men down when they were joking about using a phone as a weapon—"Who would think of that?"—by saying that women think about that all the time, and the snickering stopped immediately. The musical guests are almost always definitely not to my taste, but I found Blossoms very entertaining, and the story about Garry was great. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/#findComment-8497505

StatisticalOutlier December 14 Author Share December 14 (edited) I love how Graham ribs his guests. He and Lolly talked about how she called her first show "Lolly" and her second one "Lolly 2," and then when Sigourney Weaver was talking about Alien, he said, "And the sequel, obviously, as you said..." and he leans forward and says, "They went with 'Aliens,' Lolly." But most impressive is his quickness. Sigourney Weaver said she learned to hold her breath for 6-1/2 minutes for Avatar, and added that she had "enhanced oxygen" to do it, that she had probably 70% oxygen "instead of what we're breathing here, is 30% oxygen." Graham kind of throws up his hands and says, "That's rubbish. I'm so sorry. I really apologize." For the air in his studio. The shows this season have been just so-so for me, but there are moments.

dubbel zout December 15 Share December 15 I like that Graham ribs his guests without being mean. When the guest is a repeat or they're friends, his jokes have a slightly sharper edge, but they are still good-natured. And they always relate to whatever the sofa is talking about. The music guests have improved this season. For a long time I immediately FFed through them, but this time I'm listening to more. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/#findComment-8532971

Orbert December 17 Share December 17 I think they've been fine. I'm always impressed by how sometimes I've never even heard of two or even three of the four guests, yet I'm entertained by their conversation. Graham is a great host in that regard. And as others have said, I've found the musical guests better recently, or at least more in line with my tastes. Are we not doing individual threads for episodes anymore? Was it no longer worth the effort because of so little traffic? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/#findComment-8534835

Orbert December 22 Share December 22 Daniel seemed like such a normal guy, even a bit shy and reserved, and that struck me more than I'd have thought. I'm used to seeing him as Bond, or any number of characters who are always in control; and in interviews and such, he's always the focus. But seeing him sitting there on the couch, a bit older than the rest but still a cool guy, just listening to the others chat, reminded me why Graham's show is so great. You get to see celebrities being normal people, just talking about stuff. Everyone has met Kieran Culkin, but nobody ever remembers it. I even think I might have met him once, but I wouldn't remember. I've always kinda liked Jesse, but also think he's kinda weird. Nothing has changed, but I'm glad he's doing well. Eff societal norms and Size 0 supermodels; I'm in love with Nicola. She is absolutely gorgeous. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/#findComment-8538507

Look for the pandemic-era show with Craig; when Graham shows a photo of Ed Sheeran's handmade crib (or something equally impressive), all Daniel and Graham see is the immaculate lawn behind it. Then Graham makes a comment about what a typical middle-aged-man comment that is and they both crack up. It's delightful! 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/#findComment-8538609

athousandclowns Yest. at 05:02 AM Share Yest. at 05:02 AM I fell in love with Daniel Craig in The Mother in 2004 which I think was first time I saw him. I am a firm believer that Graham is certainly one of the best chat show hosts for some time. .

His appearances on Graham Norton have really endeared him to me. Graham seems to bring out the "normal" in people even when they're superstars and talking about superstar things. Like that lawn thing; that was one for the ages. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150406-graham-norton-all-episodes-talk/#findComment-8542006
