Irreverent TV host Graham Norton was spotted by me in London last week. He was a good looking guy and all jolly jolly Irish blarney jolly. I've rewatched some DVDs from his talk show which is nothing less than a gay man's wet dream with his guest list :- Joan Collins, Grace Jones, Honor Blackman, Sharon Gless, Billy Zane, Stephanie Beacham, Carrie Fisher, Alexis Arquette, Bea Arthur, Ursula Andress, Kate O'Mara, Cher, Victoria Beckham, Ivana Trump.... the list goes on. His show had a cheeky sort of filth that he managed to get away with, he got Valerie Singleton to make the shape of a cock out of a napkin. British Blue Peter viewers will be in shock at this, he also got LaToya Jackson to dress up as a naughty Santa, he had a guy ask Victoria Beckham for a pair of dirty panties and was taught by Naomi Campbell how to walk a runway!
Graham also got his audience involved, if you thought I was depraved, the Great British public is an untapped resource of perverseness and kinks - One guy found his stepfather at home dressed in drag so naturally told his mother, another girl thought that her father was Steve McQueen until she was 15 and one rather painful story had a woman waxing her undercarriage and leaving a film of glue attached so ripped a few layers of skin off with a razor before a date! Classy bird. However one of my favourite parts was when Page 3 stunna Jordan was being interviewed which is a loose term as the guests were purely incidental to showing the strange sex toys and unusual kinks on the telephone. Jordan was told that a girl in the audience had slept with a man with a ten inch dick. She smiled 'Really?! You must have a bucket!" Jordan couldn't leave well alone and made matters worse by retracting her statement with "I'm only joking, I bet you've got a real tight one!"

I went to a taping of the Graham Norton Effect, his show that was on here last summer on Comedy Central. Before we could be seated, we all had to fill out questionaires and I was mortified that I would be chosen, but alas, I'm too boring. The guests were Jennifer Tilly and Julie Delpie.
I saw that show!! He's kind of tamed down now and presenting a Saturday night show with hopeless and talentless dancers called Strictly Dance Fever - he belongs in a late time slot with a dildo in his hand!
Graham is a really sweet guy, but i feel that his humor has gotten old, if you know what I mean. He has to reinvent himself unless he wants to be a has been 10 years from now.
I do love his bumbling character on Father Ted, though.
