Hello! I’m Graham Norton, host of The Neighbourhood. Ask Me Anything!

Have you ever refused anyone to be a guest on your chat show?

We love you, Graham!

Was it a conscious decision to phase out audience interaction and participation on your talk show? Or was it more of a natural evolution?

Would you consider competing on Celebrity Traitors? I think you'd make a good traitor and your dry wit would be brilliant to watch at the round table.

When will you be back on Doctor Who?

No question but very proud to see a cork man be so successful!

When did you realize that you were able to corral a couch full of top tier A listers? Every time I see the show I’m in awe that you’re able to consistently gather together such an amazing group of guests, and somehow the egos don’t all clash. On paper you’d think it’d be like herding cats, but it just works!

Did you have much input into the character of Father Noel Furlong, or was it all the writer's creation? Thanks x

Thank you so much for your questions and your lovely comments! Signing off now

Hi Graham, I have a question for you. My name's Tom and I'm an English teacher from Cambridge. I used to work in Cambridge but now I work in A ^aaa ^^hh

Love your work man! Anything ever you nervous before filming after all these years or are you totally comfortable before the cameras roll?

In 1999 you appeared on the Late Late Show with Gay Byrne. Having been a fan of your show since the 90s, it is a lovely moment watching you crack up Gay Byrne, as well as fellow guest Terry Wogan, whose career trajectory was very similar to your own. Who of the current crop of new comedians are you enjoying? Do you recognize anyone carving a fresh path in a similar way to So Graham Norton?

Who is the nicest person you've met in showbiz? Also the most charismatic?

Hello Graham! Moderator of the Father Ted sublistnook here! You're one of the most beloved cast members in that show (and that's saying something!) What was your favourite memory acting on Father Ted? Any behind-the-scenes anecdotes? P.S. My favourite quote of yours from the show, I quote it all the time, haha > Tony... I'm putting you on my list of enemies (*scribbles on a notepad*) There! You're in for it now, Tony... > ... > HA! Only joking, look what I've really written! > ##"I **REALLY** LIKE **TONY**"

Who’s the most drunk celebrity you got to interview?

I'm from India and I've watched every GN show from last decade for at least 2 times. I just wanted you to know that it was therapeutic and helped me in difficult times.

You’re known for hosting your own show or appearing as a commentator (Eurovision) or guest judge (Ru Paul) on other shows, why did you decide to be the face of a new show now?

I cannot think of a question, but I think this is the only time I will ever get to interact with you, so I had to comment and tell you that I love you! You are the most charismatic, witty, and fun TV host OF ALL TIME. That's it, that's my piece❤️

Explain yourself.

Favourite comedy show from the past year (that isn’t yours)?

I remember Russel Crowe posting his drink request on twitter just before the taping of the show, back then to promote his movie Robin Hood, and your staff actually found the tweet and fulfilled his drinking order, which is hilarious to say the least. Were there other guests with elaborate drink requests? Or maybe some guest you expected to wanting a drink but instead did the opposite and vice versa?

Do you have a massive storage facility that keeps all your fantastic jackets / suits safe? Or are they borrowed? I wouldn’t expect them all to fit in your house, or am I wrong…🧐 Also on a personal note I remember sneaking downstairs late at night, when I was just a teenager, to watch Carnal Knowledge. I’ve loved everything you’ve done since then. I look forward to seeing the new show! Thanks for all the many, many laughs

What are your top five recommended books? 

Graham, your novels are wonderful. Does writing provide a different kind of satisfaction compared to the high energy of the TV studio?

Who would be your 3 dream dinner party guests, dead or alive? Thanks

What has been your most uncomfortable onscreen (Graham Norton talk show) moment?

You are the best out there Graham!!

Graham just have to say you’re a national treasure! My question is are you a night owl or an early bird?

Hi Graham. I have no questions but would like to thank you for all that you do. Brings smiles to people in this fractured world

What’s your favourite country, and why is it New Zealand?

Do you still really like Tony?

My wife and I have been crying with laughter with the lever segment over the years. True legend. Not really a question but when you hang up the boots you will be sorely missed

Will you ever do a show like ‘So Graham Norton’ again? I used to love it.

Ah legend! Has there ever been a moment on any of your shows where you thought, ‘This might go completely off the rails’? Thank you!

Who has been your favorite guest on your talk show? Alternatively if your willing to give the tea, who has been your least favorite?

Have you ever kicked out a guest on set? What's the worse thing you ever experienced from that situation?

How have you mastered the art of making everyone feel at ease?

Have you got your outfit picked out for Travis and Taylor's wedding?

How do you dig up the funny stories on celebrities? Do you have a team that looks into it, or do you ask them directly? They often seem surprised that you know these odd, awkward stories about them, and they’re seldom already well known anecdotes. Also, love your stuff <3

Give us more Miriam Margolyes!!!!

Would you ever appear on Taskmaster, should the opportunity arise?

Looking forward to The Neighbourhood. Have you ever had a feud with one of your neighbours? 😂

Have there been times in your career where you've had to really advocate for yourself, or do you think people have respected your talent and let it speak for itself?

How long do you think you could last in the hunger games?

Tell us again how you shat yourself!

Hi Graham! I love your show, have you ever been approached to host any award show as the Oscars or golden globes ?

Would you do Taskmaster?

What’s your go-to comfort food after a long day of filming?

You started in radio—do you still find that medium more intimate than television?

Do you like being Graham Norton?

Hi Graham, what is your favourite Eurovision entry of all time?

Hey Graham! Good to see you on Listnook. Do you follow any sports, or are you strictly entertainment?

Do you remember leading a singalong of The Whole of the Moon?

Heya Mr Norton! What was your best ever interview over the years? You are a treasure!

When you got the NTA special recognition in 2017 what was your thoughts? You looked truly surprised

As the Eurovision host for BBC what is your opinion on several countries not participating this year, and do you think it effects the competition long term?

Who is your favourite Canadian?

What is you favourite moment from being on the judges' panel on Drag Race? Like the most impressive challenge or most stunning look, or maybe something behind the scenes?

Do you miss Terry Wogan as much as I do?

I got nothing to ask you than say you're one of the best hosts out there with Conan. Thank you for the laughs Graham.

Can you reprise father Noel just for fun on Instagram or something..  Some comedy shorts perhaps?  Please do if you can. 

Why were you kinda of plonker/git when Henry Cavill shared his hobby about painting Warhammer figures and other hobbies? [>>reference<<](https://youtu.be/ewxaEWseTvw?si=0Ey8oLYRuq7ow_BH)

What’s the best place in Ireland and why is it Cork?

Do you or Maria have any plans on expanding Wanging On? For example, maybe a segment following up on past dilemmas?

For Last One Laughing Ireland, was it mandated that you had to interrupt the comedians anytime there was a smile? And as a curious follow up, would you ever be interested in doing Taskmaster? I reckon you’d be great on it!

Do you wear wigs?

Who’s been your favorite celebrity to interview on your show? Also since you recently made a cameo on SNL UK, if given the chance would you host SNL UK?

As a host, how do you make guests feel comfortable enough to open up, while still keeping the conversation entertaining for the audience?

Love the talk show, looking forward to The Neighbourhood!! My question is, who’s the one guest you were most nervous to interview, and did they live up to it?

Being from Cark, why would you ever leave Cark. Like Cark is the centre of the World.

Hi Graham! Ever thought of doing taskmaster! I think you'd be brilliant in it.

Hi Graham! It seems that the best episodes of the Graham Norton Show are when you get a good dynamic between the guests on the sofa, but from a distance it seems totally random when this does and doesn't click. Have you figured out what makes some groups on the show just sort of click together organically and others not so much? And do you know ahead of time when you look at the line up if it's going to be a 'good one'?

how do u do addition

Has there ever been a guest you hated interacting with?

You’ve built this reputation on "The Graham Norton Show" where even the most media-trained, guarded celebrities end up oversharing in the best way. Do you think that comes down more to the most random group sofa dynamic, the drinks, or your ability to spot the exact moment someone’s about to give in? And have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ve pushed this just far enough,” right before it tipped into something you shouldn’t have aired?

Where on earth did you got such a cool engraved suit? Honestly love it

What went through your head during Saoirse Ronan’s viral “that’s what girls have to think about all the time” moment? (which i adore btw)

If you weren't a broadcaster, what do you think your career would have been?

Any chance we’ll see Yungblud on your sofa soon? The energy would be iconic

Were you involved in the set design for the new show, The Neighbourhood?

When is Taylor Swifts wedding??

What gives you the motivation to continue your fantastic chat show for so long?

Hiya Graham, was there any element of difficulty in cracking the UK as an Irishman in particular?

Do you have any good stories with Paul as Lily Savage?

Where in the US can we watch?

Brown shoes with a blue suit, your thoughts?

Wisest and best of the agony uncles! Would you ever do an advice column again?

I remember the first time I seen u on tv. Probably 97 when you covered for jack doherty I think was the show on channel 4. Remember enjoying the show and then you were a replacement and saying wow this guy is way better and funnier. Was that ur first big break. ?

Will the Cork Hurlers win the All Ireland ? Would you go home for the session that followed ?

How does it feel, to have come from Ireland gone onto massive success with Chat Shows, Books, hosting mega events, but what you will be remembered most for in Ireland is your role in Father Ted

How heavily involved were you for the opening show of SNL UK? I'm really enjoying the series and episode 1 was a great start for it.

What happened to Betty's Tongue?

Top 5 guests on your show?? :)

Who would win in a fight for the Irish Telly Chat Show Host World Championship? Patrick Kielty or Tommy Tiernan?

Who is on your list of enemies?

Graham, thanks for taking questions. I know you've absolutely found your calling in interviewing and hosting, but do you miss stand up comedy at all? How about acting? Do you ever envisage yourself returning to either?

Hey Graham, just wanted to say I loved your talk show but haven't been able to watch it recently. Glad you're still around!

Hi, Graham! I've watched a few fun talk shows, but there's no host that is more entertaining than you! Thank you so much for years of laughs and smiles! Is there a secret to why your guests always seemed so much more relaxed and free on your show compared to everyone else's shows? Is it alcohol? Is it better rules and vibes? Is it just because you're so darn charming?

Hi Graham. Would you say that playing Father Noel was your finest hour?

How do you feel about your former colleague Graham Linehan? Why do you think he has turned out the way he has and were there signs when you worked with him on Father Ted?

Hi Graham! Nice to see you. 1) What was the most weird/funny experiance you had with a guest 2) In all these years, which guest made you laugh the hardest

Can we do another Bill Murray, Matt Damon and Hugh Bonneville episode? It's one of the best!

If you go out to dinner with non-famous friends do you split the bill or do you pay?

Which celebrity did you meet for the first time on your show and you guys are friends for life ever since?

Follow up to the Taylor Swift wedding questions, what gift can you actually buy someone who has or can buy anything she wants?

Have you ever been tipsy during your show?

How do you open up your guests like that ? No one else comes close Graham. Thank you for being the best host :)

Don't want to ask you any questions, I just want to say I love your tonight show it's just so fun, I can watch it 24/7 on YouTube, thank you Graham for brighting my day a little bit.

Is Tony still on your list of enemies?

How does it feel to have as big of a fanbase as many of the super stars on your show? I'm American and I watch GNS clips on YouTube over and over and over again and it's because of YOU, not the other celebrities!

have you ever paired up guests because one of those guests wanted to meet the other one and requested you "fix" it? Like Emilia Clarke and Matt Leblanc.

Conás atá tú inniu ?

Hi Graham love your show! You are an awesome host. My question is how or who came up with the red chair idea? It might have been asked but too lazy to scroll know to check.

Do you plan to retire in London or West Cork

If you had to have the burden of choosing Earths God-Emperor of humanity, who would it be and why is your answer Dolly Parton?

[deleted]

Hi graham norton, host of The neighbourhood

Have you ever considered be interviewed on FIRST WE FEAST / HOT ONES with SEAN EVANS? That would be epic

You keeping well?

You’ll probably hate my saying this but you are a national treasure! What I’d like to know is have there been any guests whose rider has been outrageous? Who of all the very many people you’ve interviewed has disappointed you the most? A brief description of them is fine you don’t need to name names!! Love you Graham❤️

How do you decide your interview line up?

Do you like baked beans?

How did it feel to be one of the main faces of Eurovision 2023?

I like your beard a lot. I have a beard myself. What is your beard routine?

Hi Graham, the life of a celebrity TV show host must be rather fast-based and busy; what do you do to relax and unwind? What re-sets and refreshes you?

Not much to ask, but I met you at Cork Airport about 10 years ago. I hope you and your dogs are doing well!

What excites you the most about your new show?

Oh I don't seem to have much fo a question, but this seems like arguably the only chance to interact with you. Thank you so much for being the hilariously witty host that you are! Turning into random snippets of your show genuinely makes my day better when I'm down. You have a wonderful day!!
