		Graham Norton is the bleached-blond, candidly English talk/game show host of the new hit after-hours show The Graham Norton Effect on Comedy Central and is irreverent comedy at its best.
		However, in the Graham Norton version, the track and field event consisted of participants taking turns spinning around a small pole against their heads, then, when feeling good and dizzy, trying to make it across the finish line.
		These are just a few of the antics Graham Norton has planned for his viewers, but all promise to be hilarious, good clean fun and a barrel of laughs around every corner.

		Host Graham Norton is a riot, and he now tapes "The Graham Norton Effect" in New York for Comedy Central, the US version of "So Graham Norton," although I can tell you the original talk show is better (most notably the 2-hour special).

	TV Review: Graham Norton and The Graham Norton Effect on Comedy Central \| Air Massive
		During the hour-long program, Norton zips in and out throwing zings and one-liners like sharp darts, that is, when he's not otherwise already dominating the dialogue and shepherding the show from one off-beat segment to the next with ADD-esque momentum.
		The Graham Norton Effect seems incoherent and shapeless, but this just might be because Americans have a set idea of what a show that looks like a comedic talk show is supposed to look like.
		Norton has a penchant for wearing loud suits and has been awarded the dubious distinction of worse-dressed man by British GQ magazine.

		Of course, it’s Graham Norton, the gay talk show host who is in the middle of a 13-episode stint of “The Graham Norton Effect” on Comedy Central.
		NORTON PLAYS like a good cog in the PR machine and lets his guests shill for their new movie, TV show or CD for awhile, but he doesn’t sit through silly, pre-planned stories about celebrity life like his colleagues Jay Leno or David Letterman.
		On a recent episode, Norton and actors Seth Green and Matthew Lillard played a game where audience members had to identify their partners (who were dressed in full-body costumes) based on the way they simulated making love.

	The Graham Norton Effect
		Graham was terrific -- so effortlessly funny and spontaneous, both on and off camera (I've met him a couple of times in social settings and he seems to be exactly the same "in real life" as he is on the show -- manic, slightly crazed, but very sweet).
		I definitely agree that the one real flaw with Graham Norton is his overempasis on bits and pre-arranged sketches.
		The little skits are very hit or miss (the ones last night were only OK), but where Graham really shines is when he gets to "play" with the audience (he's got one of the quickest tongues in the business) and when he's having fun with a guest who really "gets" the show.

	IGN: An Interview with Graham Norton
		His talk show – So Graham Norton, which morphed into the nightly V Graham Norton – was brilliant not only for its humor, but also for what it got away with (which will seem shocking to American viewers raised on Carson, Leno, Letterman, and Conan).
		Norton is an impish whirligig, chatting up guests spanning an eclectic spectrum ranging from Cher and Dustin Hoffman to Lindsey Wagner and the mom from The Waltons.
		NORTON: We just thought that was the nature of American television – that a lot of executives would just pile in at the last minute and kind of go, "No, you can't do that.

		Norton's rise to fame began as one of the early successes of Channel 5 when he won an award for his performance as a stand-in host of the late-night talk show usually presented by Jack Docherty.
		As a performer who is not only openly gay, but also naturally camp and flamboyant, it was here that Norton's act was fully honed as a cheeky, innuendo-laden joker who remained likeable, even to the less right-on among viewers.
		Yet, The Graham Norton Effect has got away with the same naughty, suggestive jokes that made his UK shows so popular.

	Could The Graham Norton Effect be any worse? - By Dana Stevens - Slate Magazine
		Norton's first guest is what-am-I-famous-for-again Sandra Bernhard, who begins her interview with a patronizing accolade to her host: "You've worked your way up.
		Norton's big innovation is that he uses the Internet on his show, which again, sounded interesting in theory, like a postmillennial update of David Letterman's old prank-calling routine.
		The overall effect (the, um, Graham Norton effect?) is that of being trapped at a raucous, superficial get-together with a bunch of coked-up strangers who are talking over each other in that drugged-out, manic way.

		Norton has thus far had Sharon Stone, Alan Cumming and Julie Delpy, among others, on his Comedy Central show, but he fears he may never book his dream guest.
