Overview
Every week, Irish comedian Graham Norton welcomes a sofa full of the world’s biggest stars to his BBC studio, and the results are rarely polite, often chaotic, and almost always hilarious. Unlike the one-guest-at-a-time format of most talk shows, Norton’s guests share the couch, swap stories, and interrupt each other with the ease of old friends, while unseen audience members are occasionally pulled into the conversation for the show’s famous red-chair segment. A band or musical artist closes out the night. Since 2007, the show has become the gold standard of British chat television: relaxed, quick-witted, and driven by a host who knows exactly when to step back and let his guests steal the show. From film stars promoting blockbusters to musicians, comedians, and national treasures, everyone seems looser — and funnier — on Graham Norton’s sofa.

Seasons Snapshot
The Graham Norton Show premiered on BBC Two in 2007 before moving to BBC One, and is still a returning series. It has run for 34 series, with Series 34 premiering on September 25, 2026. The format has stayed remarkably consistent across nearly two decades: celebrity guests on the sofa, stories from the week’s news, audience participation, and a musical performance to close.
Why Watch The Graham Norton Show?
Because it is the rare talk show where the interviews are the entertainment, not a warm-up for it. Norton’s shared-sofa format produces unscripted chemistry that solo interviews cannot match, and his gentle, mischievous hosting keeps even the most media-trained stars relaxed enough to be genuinely funny.
