I think Graham Norton is massively more entertaining than any of our American late night show hosts. He’s always seemed more smooth and fluid in the format than the American hosts.
Its because of the alcohol obviously and multiple guests. Its a party essentially.
He is by far the best
The wat he handles 5-6 guests at the same time.. Just flawless
It’s probably because Graham has a sense of humour, where as colberts is written for him.
He's not fake, he won't pretend to like people or laugh when they're not being funny. He's not afraid to make fun of his guests instead of kissing their asses
Except Conan O Brien.
Popular in the UK ? dude I’m from freaking Algeria and he’s my favorite host to watch 😂
Idriss - you're a complete star. You made me laugh out loud with that one.🤣
Yup me too 🙋♀️ Stephen really downplayed his popularity
Another one from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
SAAAME 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿 Graham is the best ever
exactly im from india, american hosts (except Conan) are nothing in front of Graham
"Famous over there in UK"
Me watching this in India - "LMAO"
So fuckin true.
I'm here in California and even I think Graham is the best all time
And I'm over here in South Africa
me watching him for yeeears too in New Zealand 🤦🏽♀️🙄
Love his show
Sahi me bro ....yeh saala downgrade kar raha hai isko...... Graham Norton is ❤️
Graham’s show is so vastly superior to any talk show that’s on in the US.
1000000000%
no
They keep hosts on in USA so long if their hwhite….they could never be this entertaining
fact
Graham and Craig Ferguson were my favorites.
Stephen really downplayed how famous Norton really is
Gabriel Hogan it’s because he knows how much bigger than him he is hahahahaha
Ikr! "Famous in... England". Bish what?! Lol
Super annoying.
Gabriel Hogan he’s trash
@@daviddacus8168Love the appreciation for Graham across the pond, but not nearly as much as I love salty Americans who can't stand the fact he's definitely the best talk show host in the world
1. Booze 2. Terrific research team 3. Multiple guests that interact. Recipe for success.
@Sébastien Levesque *cough* Jimmy Fallon *cough*
and miriyam
And a great talent abd charisma!!
And the most important thing (to me) even though it's his show, Graham knows it's not about him. People watch for the guests and want to hear what THEY have to say or what THEY think. Almost every talk show host wants to be the funniest person on the show and that's just wrong. It annoys the crap out of me. Graham doesn't tell stories or jokes just to be funny he always does it to encourage conversation and that's why he's the best talk show host on television.
No 1 should be, A host who listens
"But why aren't they zero?"
Savage and pertinent.
You gotta love gringos. "People seem to love you, over in England." I live in Mexico and I've watching his show for nearly ten years. He's the best host I've ever seen. Witty, smart, naughty, smooth and genuinely funny. His guests really seem to have a good time unlike some I've seen on Jimmy Fallon or James Corden's shows.
Los yankees no son capaces de entender que no son el centro del mundo.
The number of guests, especially American guests, who say it's the most fun they've had in a talk show speaks for itself.
Huge difference in format though. U.S. talk shows are edging ever closer toward 50/50 content vs advertising time. There is so little flow in most U.S. late night interviews, always a rush to get to whatever the actor/celeb is promoting before commercial break. By contrast there are no ad breaks on Graham's show, funny personal anecdotes can run their proper lengths, other guests can riff on the details, etc..
@@hd-xc2lz yup. I think they've lost a huge portion of audience that used to watch them for this reason.
Ghram is just as much a gringo as Colbert though. You may have meant it sarcastically, but you genuinely do love gringos.
Matt Damon stated publicly that The Graham Norton Show was the most fun he has ever had on a talk show... so clearly he’s popular with Americans as well.
Liquor, and Irish charm.
@@MrRjhyt and there was a LOT of liquor that night. *remembers Bill Murray, Hugh Bonneville, and Matt Damon starting the show off by downing glasses of champaign*
Honestly I love his show. I am an American and I can watch it on BBC America. The one thing that I love is the British comedians he always has on the show. I honestly think they are better than American comedians. They are more self deprecating. They are funny without seeming to know it.
Yes i agree! Love his show.he is in a class all by himself!
Nanny Ogg and proceeded to down one more in the middle of the show 😂
Graham is literally the least problematic talk show host. He’s way more famous than the guy gave him credit for
Funmi Adeleye love that you said “the guy” 😂😂😂
@@javierafigueroamoraga8316 saaameeee!!!!! Take that “guy” 😭😂😂
This "Guy" has the most famous late night show in America
I feel like he’s more popular in the uk and Ireland more than America or such. Which is really unfortunate because he is definitely the best of the hosts
@@erinmcn14 Conan is better
"You're shooting with a gun and he's got a bomb" 😂😂😂 there was a moment the audience wasn't sure how to respond to that ahahah, UK hosts don't hold back ahhh,ahhh I love Graham.
The audience is full of people who agree, trust me
An Hydrogen Bomb .
oh no, they responded alright! lol
".. the greatest democracy in the world." Yeah, right.
“Word of your political situation has reached us!” I love this man! Graham is the best😭😂😂
I'm an American but I'm sure Graham is the best Interviewer on TV.
He is Matt Damon lovd his show
I'm American too and I watch our late night hosts and like them. But I much rather watch gram Norton. I love him. He's amazing. I was telling my whole family today to watch him
@@lauramorrison5567 he knows who 2 get the best out of his quests
Alcohol for the guest helps.
Best???
No
"The chances of that book killing you are really slim." - Graham Norton, master of salesmanship.
Luke Taylor That would be a pretty awesome book jacket quote, wouldn't it?
I was laughing so hard at that! Good to know it wasn't just me lol
The best host out there at the moment he can always cheer you up and each show is unique .
Graham Norton is right up there with the best hosts of all time....Great energy, incredibly witty and often funnier than his guests which are often top tier comedians.
Graham Norton is the absolute best talk show host hands down. I watch him over any American talk show host and I live in the states. This interview just proves how much better he is at keeping conversation interesting and smooth.
I agree, I also liked Craig Ferguson as well.
He is the best hands down. Craig is great as well.
Superfamous in England?! He's bigger than Stephen Colbert worldwide.
British talk shows will always be far greater than anything the US can produce. Look around at ALL US talk show hosts combined compared to Graham Norton alone, who do you think is the most famous? Most people have never heard of Colbert, Fallen, Kimmel, Oliver, etc yet Graham Norton is famous literally anywhere. One of the most famous celebrities on the planet, easily.
Queen Elizabeth II In America. Because the population is bigger. Doesn't really hold much merit as a statistic.
CZcams made him famous for me. When you go thru your favorite celebrity’s interview rabbit hole, I saw his videos and that was it. I love his multiple guest dynamic. Then i saw Jonathan Ross and chatty man and love those way better than American talk shows as far as interviewing goes. I think Jimmy Fallon is great when he gets the guests to play with him and the political monologues are so funny especially with this administration.
LifeNplay infinitely, more popular than all the American talk show host.
Alex Crighton i'm From Argentina and i love Graham Norton Show and didn't knew about Stephen show Until this video
No American talk show host can touch Graham Norton!
To be fair, if you've ever seen the GN show, he brings out the best is celebs as they always seem genuienly relaxed and to be enjoying themselves. There's none of that scripted "your line, my line" shite.
Agree as a Yank. US talk shows bore the shit outta me, but Norton's show is almost always entertaining.
Chris L true
Absolutely. and no disrespect to Stephen who I love but there's a reason why Graham has been at this for 20 years and still killing it.
Kiki Owen you are commenting this on a graham norton interview. U good bro
Big only in England... Lol...
I'm from Malaysia n can't wait for his show every week...
One of the things that I think helps a lot in Graham's show is the research they make so as to find stories or subjects that some guests have in common. That's how sometimes you get the guests to interact with each other, without the need of the host to interveen with questions or comments. In some clips you can even see Graham just leaning on his couch appreciating the conversation between them unfolding.
"Famous in England?"
B please,I'm from Sri Lanka and he's the only reason I'm watching this
1+ from India
Second Indian here
Exactly, you don't say that to.your guest. Oh his very famous...BUT NOT HERE, ONLY THERE. rude.
Third Indian
From algeria and me too
The Graham Norton Show is something rare. I've never seen celebrities look as relaxed and comfortable as in that show. I always picture Matt Damon slightly drunk in the couch with Bill Murray and Hugh Bonneville, saying "this is the most fun I've ever had on a talk show". Love Graham to pieces.
I always think Jennifer Lawrence is the best guest. I think she's a Graham fave.
sensate-scars 1) lol they give them alcohol . 2) U.K. Isn't as pc as we are. So they aren't as self conscious about what they say and what they get asked . 3) they allow multiple celebrities on at once
I remember Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum on Chatty Man, and Channing was wetting himself because Alan Carr was swearing so much.
I'll never forget how Harrison Ford fell in love with Jack Whitehall on there
I always thought the best guest was Miriam Margolyes. I have never laughed so much in my life. But people just have a tendency of relaxing on Graham's show. The alcohol, plus none of the gossipy personal life stuff gets touched. He also teases them but about innocent things. Like the crazy Halloween outfits Harrison Ford wears during Halloween with Calista Flockhart for example. I also notice that he'll have a UK comedian on as well to get other guests relaxed. I really think that's the reason it works so much.
This is a brilliant illustration of a problem common to many interviewers, and one that Colbert even speaks about during this interview. 1:02, he asks a question. 1:10 Norton is just about to give his answer and Colbert is 'no, I'm just going to keep talking about my question'. Just let your damn guest speak!
Graham does the BEST celebrity interviews. If a favorite star is on The Graham Norton Show I ALWAYS watch the whole show. The episode with Bill Murray-Matt Damon-Hugh Bonneville is a classic. All three got drunk and it was hilarious.
Agreed. American actors generally love it because they can drink. Makes for a entertaining show.
That one was magic in a bottle! It did help that they all knew each other and were friends. It was a riot.
I watch the one with Bill Murray, Hugh Bonneville and Matt Damon on a regular basis. It's brilliant 😄
@@fayesouthall6604 and swear 🍷🍸🍹
Let's face it. A little alcohol makes the guests feel at ease. And Graham doesn't have that stupid desk that American talk shows feel they must have.
This is why I prefer Graham to Jonathon Ross
But graham also knows how to keep a conversation going naturally, doesn't interrupt his guests, doesn't try and make the show about himself and has a better sense of humour than american talk show hosts.
Conan is the only American host that doesn’t have a desk. He used to, but he got rid of it.
It shows power. So they must have it
Ellen doesn’t
“Popular in the UK” Im from the Philippines and he’s my fave talkshow host 😂
Update: Look at all these countries who replied to this comment! ❤️ United by Graham Norton hahaha
I am from Germany and I love the Show! The Internet is a wonderful place :D
Indian here, most favorite talk show host for me too !
İ'm from Turkey and graham's show is the best.
Denmark here, definetely the best!
Talaga ate. From Philippines rin ako
Must be delusional to think that Graham is only famous in UK. I’m from Far East and my favourite talk show host is Graham. In fact clicked on this video for Graham
I got the feeling that Stephen tried to belittle him a bit. Just slightly trying to exert control in a power competition- but Graham wouldn't have it and didn't play into it. 😆👍
Mr Graham Norton, there's no one who could even come close to him.
He knows how to make each of his guests feel so incredibly good. Superstars do stuff on his show, it's unbelievable. He is by far one of the most charming, funny, spontaneous and warm people I know. He also lets his guests speak, something I often really miss with American hosts and also find extremely rude.
Every single Graham Norton show is a pure joy.
"He also lets his guests speak"
YES!!
He'll often get the ball rolling and then the guests take it away. There have definitely been episodes where he's sat back and not said much at all because the "magic" is happening without needing to be babysat.
Interestingly enough, the weakest GN shows are when he has Americans on. The majority of them are pompous, vapid, and dull as dirt, with a only a handful of exceptions.
@@barbarakauppi9915 out of curiosity, who do *you* think are the exceptions? There also needs to be allowances made because there is a significant cultural difference when it comes to this kind of show, I think. For better or worse, they aren't allowed this kind of freedom in talk shows in the States. They're used to question, answer, question, answer, joke, question, answer, lather, rinse, repeat on all the shows.
I will agree with you, though, that many American guests don't appear to be that bright, but I also think that is a product of the Hollywood system to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator so even if the guest is really intelligent, they aren't used to being allowed to let it show.
@@barbarakauppi9915 The problem with the americans on is that they are usually movie stars, and you say the wrong thing in an interview and your career can be over. So usually its the really huge stars who don't really worry much who are the best guests. I don't get the feeling of pompous, but I see your point. In the US most media does nothing but talk them up, while british press is known for dragging people down, so those guests are more used to it.
But that is largely true, on craig fergusons old show it was his interviews at first with guests in his audience that was usually the funniest part of the show. And they do that a lot too on nortons show.
"Word of your political situation has reached us" nearly broke Stephen.
that was hilarious!!
LOL!!! Am STILL laughing...beautifully put. Colbert was losing it. A "meatless white bread sandwich"--another gem.
I dont get the pun ...
Sam Khan what? The meatless sandwich? He explains it very clearly. They are two hosts with no "guests"
ternitamas i get that, but i dont understand the "word of your political situation has reached us"
What makes Graham good is he's an observer of people. It's so true about two shy people. One will become more confident and try to balance out the silence by talking more.
thats his job
ya know? anyone who spends 20years worth of time around a certain type of people will... become an "expert" on them in some ways
No what make him great is that He is Irish. Irish people have charm, can have the craic and banter with anyone. We are storytellers. The Brits aren't.
Niall T that’s so true and I’m English
Niall T agreed. I’m an English woman and I’d go for an Irish bloke over an English bloke any time. Most English men have the charm and the charisma of a dead fish.
Graham is not only a great TV host, he is literally the most likable personality in TV, no matter what country you watch him from. He is so witty and smart, with a great sense of humor and also an impeccable sense of timing, and yet he never tries to impose himself as the center of attention or the star, even though he obviously is, and a huge one. He is such a charismatic guy, always delivering a great show for his hosts and his public. He is one of a kind.
I'm a Turkish person living in the Netherlands and I've been watching Graham Norton with absolute delight for YEARS. Popular over in "England"? 😄😄😄 Ouch Stephen.
Also, you couldn't have NOT known that he gives cocktails to his guests. Either Stephen didn't watch a single Graham Norton Show episode, or he's playing ignorant for the audience's sake (I hope it's the latter).
Love you Graham, live long and healthy and happy and please keep doing what you're doing!
Colbert's audience definitely have been watching Graham for a LONG time--he thinks his audience needs him to spell things out
Excuse me but Graham is globally known and not just in England. I´m form Germany
Seinab M. World Famous in New Zealand Graham is 👌🏽👌🏽
Is the USA view of the world... “if i don’t know it, he is not well known in the world”...
@@ununoctiu Americans think they are the world.
I'm from Mexico and Graham's talk show is the only one I watch.
Australia loves him 🇦🇺😁
I’m soooooorry, the downplaying of how truly HUGE Graham Norton baffled me hahaha.
Where did he downplay him. Seeing comments like this baffles my mind. Y'all just looking for an excuse to hate
Stephen Colbert does this.
@@Alex-nh6zc He literally said “one of the most famous talk shows, in the UK” when he’s the biggest in the world. “There might be some people who don’t know your CV” everyone knows him. He read off achievements and missed of so much bigger shit. Downplayed him again saying “you’re super famous, ugh, over in ENGLAND”. Tried to talk down on his show quite a few times making comparisons to his own show. “You have other talents OTHER THAN TALKING, you write aswell” yeah, just make it sound like you don’t do that aswell but he does it x1000 better lmao.
Homestly it is quite the opposite. Its a form of humor.
@@CYNICHVC I honestly had no idea who he is and I am watching every other late night shows...
Graham Norton literally the best talk show host
Graham Norton and Craig Fergusson the 2 best talk show hosts in TV history. Just to say Graham Norton is loved not just in the UK. the guy is so well known and hugely popular. Celebrities love him. Mat Damon and Bill Murray were on his show and Damon said, "it was the most fun he had ever had on a talk show." Norton is the Master!
Graham Norton is a national treasure... in every nation.
Hear, hear!
So he's an international treasure
S J well....in that case he is a treasure
what i love about graham and his show is that he never tries to create drama in any way, he diffuses awkward situations so well and allows the celebs on his show come across as charming and fun. he's not looking for headlines, rather just for the guests and the audiences to have a good time, i respect that
eim that is the primary reason I love his show - it's actually a good time. Like, they happily discuss serious issues, but he is never out to "get" anyone, and wants his audience to enjoy it, and for the guests to want to come back!
eim what I love about the top comments to this video is that they're so nuanced and analytical about talk show hosts!
I liked Graham for that reason and he's my second favorite Late Show host. But I've been a naturalized citizen of the Colbert Nation since 2006 because Colbert is the exact opposite of that.
His show is not a hugbox or a simple platform for guests to promote things and have fun. He uses his privilege and reach to ask the hard hitting questions and address the elephant in the room.
His irreverence for the pretense of courtesy is what makes him stand out from the other hosts who thrive only on light fun and little to no substance. He earned this audience all the way back when he refused to hold back at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner while President Bush and the most powerful figures in politics, media, and industry were present to hear him tear them apart.
czcams.com/video/CWqzLgDc030/video.html
And he makes an effort to pronounce the guests names right & he seems genuinely excited about all his musical guests. As if he handpicked them because he listens to their music. His is the only talk show I actually watch in full.
And he let's the guests finish their stories.
He's the best.
I agree with you a 💯/💯👍
Haha. Popular in the UK? The man is a freaking legend all over Europe. In Bulgaria he is more loved than any other talk show host.
One of the many reasons The Graham Norton Show is a huge success is the unique setup. The table is for the guests, not for the host. And the host is seated at an equal height with the guests so it doesn't seem like he's looking down on them. These small and subtle things make a huge difference.
Stephen seems to take himself more serious than Norton, difference between some Americans and Brits.
@@markant9534harsh
I've never understood why US hosts always sit in a higher chair. It seems deliberately patronising, and makes guests look upwards, like children.
Graham Norton is the best talkshow host in the world, because he can put guests at ease and have them doing and saying things like no other show.
Michael Parker Best talkshow handsdown
Norton is shite. He fawns overs his guests and always plays it safe. He's a sycophant.
TheCheeseandrice1 Lol what? A talkshow IS supposed to be about the guests. Graham has a way with them that makes them able to be better at ease and because of that they tell wayyy better stories than when they are at other talkshows
Meryl streep call him a genius that he put the most uptight people at ease, and Robert de Niro been on his show 3times
That’s coz they be liquored up.. and somehow his research team finds things in common with his guests...
"You offer your guests drinks??" - Stephen Colbert, apparently has never seen the Graham Norton Show
That, or it's likely that because American talk shows are written beforehand, it was just a question that he had to ask.
@@BaldMancTwat I think so too, and that summarizes all the reason why I like Graham Norton's show so much better than any of these.
Oh, besides the fact that a very generic hand-off comment like "shooting fish in a barrel" had to elicit the "fish being the greatest democracy in the world" answer.
People, the US may be big, but it's not the beginning and end of the world. And this calling yourselves "the greatest *** of the world" every three seconds... pff, you can afford to do that if you're a little Miss Scarlett living all your life in your own neighborhood. Can't you see how annoying that is?
Stephen slipped up! BIG TIME!
Automatically shows the difference between both shows, graham does his research and pays attention and interest to his guests and others don’t seem to even know what they are talking about
@@evablaker4326 I suppose it might be a way to get the audience acquainted with the assumption that they may not know Graham's show. But personally (maybe because I know it and it's a very obvious detail) I find it contrived. I'd prefer the host to be straight: "because (for those who may not be aware) on your show alchohol is served regularly, right?".
I also get the feeling that for any other topic they wouldn't have gone such a roundabout way, but since we're talking about alchohol (SHOCK! WHITE WINE!!!) being publicly visible on a show, they need to thread on eggshells.
He absolutely cracks me up. His shows are so relaxed and funny.
It’s his Irish ☘️ charm for sure, sláinté
I’m an American, live on the East Coast, but I can’t tell you how many Graham Norton clips I’ve watched. He truly is a treasure amongst the TV interviewers, I love the guy. And you can tell his guests love him too.
Does Stephen Colbert have a big Red Chair? I didn't think so.
touché!
No but he does have access to a big furry HAT!
nuff said.
That chair makes me so anxious!
Batman Jr. I
Graham simply can't help it, he's terminally charming.
Bronxboy47 He is so effortlessly funny and charming, you can't help but like him and laugh along to everything he says.
Met him at a gay bar called the White Swan or Black Horse in East London, over 2 decades ago, and he wasn't too pleasant, he'd just started out, mentioned I liked his show, whilst both of us where waiting for drinks at the bar, he shrugged his shoulders, I rolled my eyes at him, and told him he wasn't that great and walked away,
I think he plays up the camp, he's monopolised on the gay stereotype, and people laughed at him, and not with him, and he was a caricature of gayness, but if I'm completely honest, he was the British version of the "DeGeneres Effect" the acceptable, accessible, none threatening, self mocking face of homosexuality.
That's a bit harsh, mate. We're entitled to not be in performance mode 100% of the time.
cheekyboy5000 Being polite doesn't cost a thing. How does complementing his work, negatively impact him? I didn't need to acknowledge him, yet I showed him some courtesy, as we were literally standing side-by-side...maybe he's changed his attitude now, maybe it was a bad day for him, notwithstanding, he was rude, I think he must have thought I was flirting with him, which I consider an insult.
Bronxboy47 Its the Irish! 😊
“Super famous over in England”? Bro, I binge-watch all of the videos on his YT channel at least once a month lol and I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 he’s the best host, hands down, he’s funny, he doesn’t interrupt his guests, great questions, he’s just the best
Graham is my absolute favorite. The only talk show that I watch. Such a legend! Love from the Netherlands ❤️
Not "one of the best". His show "is the best" talk show. Actions speak louder than words. Everyone loves Graham Norton!!
i agree, there might be larger stars in countries like India, or in the Latino countries, but Graham is a huge talk show host whos famous in many many countries, including America due to the internet.
I am from India and I am huge Graham Norton fan🥰🥰🥰 he is the best talk show host I ever seen and I watch many talk shows but nothing's came cross to the Graham Norton show 🤩
Conan.
The Graham Norton show and the late show with Craig Ferguson.
2 best talk shows of all times ❤
@@jamesspeer5494 yess i love both for different reasons
THe american talk show hosts can only dream of becoming Graham Norton. Graham is so effortlessly charming.
Letterman was the best
He clearly wasn’t even aware he could dream that big because he rudely didn’t even watch a show before interviewing his guest😳
Facts
@@JamesVanAlstine He definitely fucking wasn't, bloke was a complete pervert
He ok. Corden is better.
im from finland and graham is my fav host he actually let’s his guest’s speak without cutting them offå
His talkshow is vastly superior over any of the ones that the US puts out. His guests actually love to come there and enjoy themselves.
In Australia and New Zealand Graham is more famous than any American talk Show host
BigDeanoSyd and for us brits as well 😂
Sweden to
& in Ireland!
I'm an American and I completely get it. I think if we were to pay a $gadzillion to bribe him to leap the pond, he'd completely destroy our late night competition in the ratings.......no doubt!
Totally true!
Theres a capital difference between Norton and american hosts: hes got very clear the idea the stars are the center of his show NOT HIM, and his job is make em bright, funny and entertaining. Hes a very clever, funny and witty person but he uses his powers to make a great show, not to make himself a star.
whereas american hosts thinks they have to be the funny ones and carry the entertaining part, while guests happen to be the excuse to make a new joke for the day.
That's wrong on so many levels also I hope you know it was America that created the talk show and all modern day talk show host use a format that was created by Johnny Carson and later perfected by David letterman. Stephen doesn't make the show about him but involves himself in the conversation. You honestly sound like you never had a conversation with another human being in your life before. Stephen, Conan Kimmel, Fallon, Leno, Seth, letterman and Carson all had different styles of interviewing some are more reserved than graham some are not. You can't insult American talk shows when it was American talk shows that first became popular and set the standard of talk shows all over the world.
What a lot of shit. Gino is right. Everything you typed was simply a jingoistic knee-jerk reaction because he dared to question anything that wasn't draped in the stars and stripes.
Mrbrain bob ur argument that usa created the format for talks shows and thus makes them better is incorrect. That doesn't mean that usa is better at talk shows than any other country. I guess it is just due to the different culture in USA compared to say the uk where in the usa talk show presenters have to carry the show and it's ratings thus build their star power hence why gino made his statement.
Mrbrain bob, if you're American, you should know that Carson didn't invent the talk show format, just popularized it. Besides, even if the Americans were the trailblazers, doesn't mean they should be above criticism, especially since hosts like Dick Cavett were very different to Fallon for example, and the format itself is vastly different nowadays in some shows with the obnoxious games etc. British talk shows just seem more free-spirited and relaxed.
Colbert is mostly a sponge which is a complete departure from his previous interview style. Letterman is his later days barely did more than introduce the guest. Most of them let the actors tell their boring stories. If anything Craig Ferguson was the worst offender of this. The show was completely centered around him. He often interrupted his guests and provided all the jokes and that is why people tuned in. He was genius. I think the real problem with most American talk shows is that they are just plug-driven vehicles for actors and studios. Norton show (and Fergusons) never felt like that. Ferguson's show never had a plan, never went by any script, ignored the prep questions, and did little to plug the actor's current project (Stewart did the same to celebrities) and it felt very organic because of this. Norton is also a genius but its planned. He goes by the questions, by the prep and research but it still feels organic. When Corden does it, it feels clunky and scripted but I am sure he will get better with time.
Graham's right about that drink though . Almost didn't recognize him without his wine glass 🤣
I ran across Mr Norton on youtube. Whenever I need a pick me up from stress or blues, Mr Norton's show and Robin Williams are my go to cures. Mr Norton is very affable and allowing his guests to be themselves, you get more revelation of a small quaint talk among "friends" than a formal Q & A.
Well there's someone I never expected to see on Colbert.
I am pretty sure Graham Norton reaches an audience multiple times larger than any American talk show, as the show runs in 20+ countries all over the world on BBC International
Yeah and Oprah is the most famous and richest of them all so what’s your point and now Ellen is coming in right behind her.....
@@Eli-kq7qt Their shows are actually aired in less countries. Norton literally airs in more countries than any other talkshow. The two you mention may be more famous in America, but that is just continuing the ignorant egocentricity already being called into question by the original comment. And richest? Oprah did not get that from being a talkshow host, she got that from other ventures like her publishing company and production company. Her wages as a talkshow host were famously low (by her own admission) and that was precisely why she pivoted into setting up those other companies. So yeah, she's a more famous and richer businessperson, but that is a strawman to this debate about the talkshows. Graham is paid more by others for his talkshow than she ever was for her own while it was being run by other people: Fact.
michaelreqd Graham Norton is even shown on our domestic state owned CyBC here in Cyprus.
kendell patel. Amazed by your comment. That Ellen woman is so bad it’s embarrassing.
@@Eli-kq7qt I don't really know what other Germans watch, but I don't think many people know Oprah...I have never seen a show of hers and only know of her because of Americans talking about her.
I hope people who didn’t know about him before this look up his videos. His show is amazing - he’s tremendously witty and such a gracious host
His book and his agony uncle column are both wonderful. He has a very kind, compassionate angle that doesn't always come through in the talk show.
It's cute how Stephen thinks Graham is only big in the UK. Darling, he's more loved than all US talk show hosts. XOXO ;)
Of course he knows he is big worldwide but his audience members Americans.
Combined
Only US host that I care about is Conan O’Brien
I have several friends that when I have said something about one of his shows, their response was Who?.
@@roxie_the_rockmonster4892 I know, happened to me too, so I had to explain who Stephen Colbert is
I didn't know Graham was going to be on last night. I GENUINELY SCREAMED AT MY SCREEN IN DELIGHT!
*B A R S*
I screamed like a girl when I saw him on the SC show and I'm not even a girl.
Root Quinzel me too!!!...I couldn't stop screaming until the video has finished 😅😂
YES ME TOO! SCREAMED OUT LOUD AT MY SCREEN
WOW! YOU GUYS CAN SCREAM!
'Word of your political situation has reached us' LMAO....thats a great line!!!
One of the flaws in American Talk Shows is that sometimes when the 2nd guest comes in, they'd ignore the 1st guess and they just kinda awkwardly sit there.
Graham somehow cracked that, his interviews feel fluid and able to incorporate every guests into every question.
graham is such a great host! He always makes his guests feel comfortable which makes them open up a lot more and we get better stories.
He makes them more comfortable by giving them alcohol it seems like lol.
Serenity he gives them 1 drink, not like they're playing there drinking games or whatnot
Dude. I know. I was just kidding.
Mario Habijanec Lol Mark Wahlberg had more than one drink in his now infamous interview on the Graham Norton Show!!
So did Matt Damon and Bill Murray. However, all of them were drunk beforehand and only continued with their drinking charade during the show. They were not forced to drink and they are exceptions to the rule.
Graham is the greatest chat show host in the world!
Shelley Templar
Damn right he is.
Him or Craig Ferguson
Martin Biesel Craig and Graham are absolutely best
Shelley Templar Absolutely the best!
Craig Ferguson was AND he made the most beautiful women blush and loosen up ^^
I'm from the Philippines and I watch him almost everyday in CZcams. He just gives me laughs and positive vibes. Love him
Graham’s the best host because even though he’s the host, he’s really just a mediator for the guests. He will make a joke or start a story, but a lot of times he just sits and watches the guests talk to each other and only talks when he thinks he can contribute
The hosts in America CAN be funny but they always make it about themselves (some less than others. Conan was the best one and Seth Meyers seems to legitimately be good at doing his research when a guest comes on)
Yep, Conan was the best. His thing was to make himself the laughingstock to make his guests look good.
I used to love the Colbert Report, but as a talkshow host Stephen takes himself way too seriously.
Indeed.
Take this 4 minute clip with Rosamund Pike, Michael McIntyre and Chris Martin and you'll understand why this show is perfect.
czcams.com/video/iPuqNBeL7_0/video.html&ab_channel=TheGrahamNortonShow
Jimmy Fallon does his research before a guest comes on, some people hate him because he's "too nice" to his guests 🙄
As an American I have to say I don't think I've ever seen a better talk show than Graham's. At it's best it's fantastic. The Bill Murray, Matt Damon episode is an absolute classic.
I have watched this episode multiply times. One of the best.
Yes, that one always cracks me up! No better talk show than Graham Norton.
Parker Allen that episode is legendary 😂 comedy gold
The one with Cumberbatch, Redmayne and Cranston is also just hilarious :D
That honestly feels like a night out at a bar. Doesn't even feel like a talkshow. Telly Brilliance.
Graham's "yes" after "the greatest democracy in the world", it's the most unconvinced "Yes" I've ever heard...
Elkarus the biggest is India in terms of stats, jus saying.
I think America hurts it's self with the Greatest Democracy on Earth BS, my country is 10x better that the US in many ways but it's still pish, and could be alot better.
But by saying you are the greatest imho, it's like saying well I'm Great so I'm not going to try be better. The US has a lot going for it but Greatest fuck no, not even close, strongest yup, but there is more to a country that just having a massive millitary. Be proud to be America, ofc lots to be proud of and like, but their attitude is almost like a NAZI level superiority complex.
the greatest democracy is Catalonia

Tampoc ens passéssim ...
haha
I love this man!! He's so quick and he's just hysterically funny.
Graham is my favorite talk show host, and I’m from the US. I’ve been watching him on BBC America since he started. He’s hilarious, and his show is far better than any we have here.
This video really outlines the differences between European and American talk shows. In America, the host is very controlling of the conversation, and its more like a job interview than a "talk." In Europe, it's like a casual conversation, with the host asking a few questions every now and then, but otherwise letting the guests talk how they want.
Dragmire800 that's an interesting way of distinguishing them
Dragmire800 i agree! It feels more like you’re watching in on a fun dinner party amongst friends than a stiff promotional interview. They seem more relaxed with themselves & each other & talk so candidly. Graham is so great about getting celebrities to share personal info or stories that you don’t ever see American hosts rarely get them to do.
Dragmire800 never payed enough attention to notice this, but now that you've mentioned it... damn, you're so right !😳😳 now i see why i like the norton show the best
America is all about jobs
Yeah this felt very rehearsed compared with how dynamic and hilarious Graham Norton's show is.
Oddly one of my favorite Colbert's is the one they did for the election. Cause it didn't go as they thought and they threw the script out the window.
"Word of your political situation has reached us."
N R omg loled soo hard at that one!!!
The man is a comedic genius. I love him.
N R PROPER english
it shows that the British are very polite and reserved when they comment on things that for others you would get a violent reaction. that he said "political situation" which refers to Trump is kind of a nice way of saying it but at the same time is also mildly sarcastic and knowing that everything is not well in the USA given the current political leadership.
pdgf graham is not british lol
The inclusive nature of his show in the way they all take turns talking is wonderful. Watching the other stars react to stories is fun. He’s very relaxed but knows how to keep it moving. Best talk show ever IMO
I love Graham! I watch him on BBC America all the time. His interview with Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Huge Bonneville was priceless! I go back and watch it all the time here on CZcams. Too funny!
Graham: Best guests
Stephen: Best monologue
Conan: Best skits, remotes etc
Fallon: Best fake laughter
The8347135 kimmel best audience participation
Graham is a much better host honestly
Conan doesn't have the best skits, in fact most of his sketches is pretty dang bad, which Conan uses to his advantage. I say Conan has the best worst skits, and the best format, because he always plays on himself, and his show.
The8347135 I think Conan is better then any other hosts rn
RIPHitchens I agree, sort of, Graham has weeks to research his guests while Colbert has a day or two. That's why graham seems better and more personal. Graham is great "investigative" host better research and questions and Colbert is more of a "improvising" host.
OH MY GOD GRAHAM!!! He's without a doubt the BEST talk show host in the world! He never fails to be so hilarious every single episode!
mchras he use to be beyond funny but not so much now.
Richard Clutterbuck I don't agree with what u r saying. I just think that his show on BBC is more toned down now and more about talking to guests in a professional manner. He also talks less and makes less jokes. Before he used to come out with hilarious stuff. It used to be funny when he used to do things like the the "do u like wood prank?" or the funny foreign foods names with Stanley tucci, or reading out the letter of the billionaire boy book ect.. and also when he used to engage the audience more like Chris pine and benedict cumberbatch and getting Liam Neeson to add his voice to someone's voice mail message. Also when he used to show objects to guests and bring up things about their pasts like an embarrassing modelling shoot. As well as showing things from the Internet. I dont think they use Internet much now after an incident where on a Google search it was showing " why is there a dead pakistani on my couch?" But mainly It don't feel he Jokes and talks as much compared to before. His humour is brilliant as well as his expressions and the way he reads things like the billionaire boy letter
I love The Graham Norton Show because most of the time we see celebrities we never normally would together interact and there’s constant laughter & relaxation
Graham is famous everywhere. I subscribe to the CZcams channel just to watch his show. Also, his show is hilarious. Putting all of those people together and they feed off of each other. He also knows when he can have one guest that fuels the show. I remember when he did that with Robin Williams.
“Word of your political situation has reached us” ROFL
In other words "yes I know about it but won't b fulling my show full of generic "Trump in so dumb amIrite ?" jokes
Orange man bad.... *laughter track
Oh but he does. He's just too polite to say it.
@Dave Sergio I like both Milo and Graham. The only time Graham's show ever got political is when he had Hitlery Rotten Cunton on
As much as I like Stephen Colbert, Graham Norton is on a completely different level and practically in a class all by himself.
samsabruskongen no, Jimmy Fallon is unbearable.
Conan is on his level
@@jokertheinsaneclown3136 as much as I love Conan, he's better on his own. With guests, he's only good with people he can connect with. Graham on the other hand can make his couch interesting no matter who's on it.
I liked Craig Fergusson, the Colbert, Fallon, Seth Meyers and most others always rehearse (too much maybe) and you feel that things are staged...Fergusson was the ol’ punk without fear, just wonderfully unpredictable!
The King of ALL talk shows !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I left UK 13 y ago and I’m still watching the graham norton show 🤙🏽❤️
I fking love Graham Norton :D
Neil Godfrey It's an idiomatic you little shit. I fuxking love Graham Norton too. I don't actually though. It's a way of speaking you dumb ass bugger
me too! he's the best of the best. Never boring, never lose energy, never irrelevant.
Someone is obviously pissed at the free games. And closet homosexuality.
he is awesome! :D
Matt Jones who doesn't
One of the most famous personalities in the UK? YOU MEAN IN THE WORLD!
Juan C Lopez exactly!
Yeah, no idea why he said that. He's popular here in the US too.
MPM Stephen probably doesn't like to admit that Graham might be more popular than himself
Juan C Lopez right I love him Graham Norton is the best talk show host.😊
Hippie Ninja really not sure how my response came across as being triggered, you can't just use that anytime somebody says something that you don't agree with.
THE BEST interviewer in the English language. Graham Norton you are fantastic.
Here, there and everywhere.
I like Colbert, he is one of the few late show host I watch clips of. But rarely for his interviews. Graham gets so much more out of his interviewees, mostly becasue he sits back and let them have a good time. Graham doesn't treat himself as the star of the show, which is why he gets so many more A-Listers than anyone else.
"Word of your political situation has reached us." 😂😂😂😂
Pretty much the most British thing he could've said
He’s Irish.
Let's not argue about Graham's nationality friends and get pint of Murphy's and shepherd's pie and enjoy.
And then HM the 👑 gives the Dumpty a book on WW2!!!!!😅😅😂😂😂🤣 THAT WAS EPIC!!!!
Ireland and Britain r under QE2. Well part of it is. The accent is diff. But still close enough
Bill Murray said to a british journalist (after that insanely show with Matt Damon and Hugh Bonneville) that he rather do two or three Graham Norton's shows for the rest of his life, than going to other talk shows a hundred times. And Matt Damon said it clearly "This is the most fun I've ever had on a talk show." Graham is a talk show genius. By the way, you all should watch that show with Matt, Bill and Hugh and brace yourselfs. Clooney was on a later show and said it to Graham's face "OMG...that show!"
COOLPETS PORTUGAL I’ve seen it over 50 times. Never gets old.
That show with those three 😂😂 is the best thing E V E R
And Meryl Streep called Graham a genius because of how relaxed he makes his guests
Watched that episode 3 times! Just guys hanging out! It was epic
I've been looking for that show. Do you per chance have the link?
I watched his show for the past 10 years. Got me throught some diffcult times. He is a genius at hosting.
Graham Norton is the most entertaining talk-show host I ever saw. He actually being naturel characters, interaction never seen before.
I really liked this interview. I wish it could have gone on a lot longer
Yeah, it was a little sad when you saw Colbert had to move on to the next topic a few times. I feel like they could have easily gone on for half an hour uninterrupted by network needs to touch on many different topics!
Yvonne Yay see, another reason why Graham's show is the best.
Yeah. American chat show interviews are all far too rushed. Don't think I've ever seen one go over like 8 minutes...Where as you watch Graham Norton and you've got an (almost) hour of chatting.
Daniel Massey with Jon Stewart, Jay Leno and Seinfeld too 😍😍
MrSceneNine so true! I think that might be to do with their set-up though. When you have a group of guests one is bound to at least be interesting for 40mins or so but if you have one boring guest for 8mins then it's a killer! 😄 Wish they made exemptions with special guests like Graham though. He had so much more to say
GRAHAM NORTON IS THE BEST TALK SHOW HOST PERIOD.
Steph F shame that Craig Ferguson retired
Craig Ferguson!!
Craig who..... cmon now
Kimmel ftw
Nope 😂
It's gotta be Conan, Letterman and Carson.
Who doesn’t know Graham? He’s the BEST period.
I’m a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and I love Graham Norton’s Show!!! He’s the best!!!
This is so fucking weird, these are my two favourite talk show hosts. To see them in one room and their styles clash is bizarre
Same!!
they're both my favourites, I think the interview went well
Honest I actually don't think they're that different. I think they exist in different television environments so their shows feel different because of that.
I think the interview went well, but it's soooo weird to see them together.
burculuks to see graham norton getting interviewed is so weird 😂
Famouns in England?
He's one of the most famous Irishmen in the world!
His show is British.
@@dbdb9334 Yes, but he is Irish.
@@Lmv2841 Yes but the show is BBC.
@@dbdb9334 He's pointing out that he is irish
@@astrodoc4311 Why?
This was a very smooth interview, nice to see graham showing off his talents on a different platform
This is the first time I'm finishing a Stephen clip, that just goes to show how much power Grahams got over me
