Graham Norton’s red sofa is about to get crowded. This Friday, the talk show host welcomes a motley crew ranging from Hollywood royalty to culinary stars, with a dash of rising comedic talent and a sprinkle of stadium-filling rock. Let’s break it down.
Sigourney Weaver, the queen of sci-fi, graces the stage to discuss her latest endeavor – treading the boards of London’s West End in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. One can only hope Norton inquires about the challenges of wielding a trident whilst delivering iambic pentameter.
Next up is Nicholas Hoult, whose career trajectory is as fascinating as his upcoming role in Robert Eggers’ remake of the gothic horror classic, Nosferatu. Expect a deep dive into the film’s shadowy depths and possibly a lighthearted jab at his previous period-piece escapades in The Great.
Jamie Oliver, the ever-present chef, will undoubtedly be plugging his new cookbook, Simply Jamie. Will Norton manage to extract a simple recipe or two? Or will we be left with yet another aspirationally complex dish best left to the professionals?
Adding a comedic twist to the proceedings is Lolly Adefope, discussing her role in HBO comedy The Franchise. She plays Dag, a perpetually frazzled set assistant navigating the chaotic world of superhero filmmaking.
Plus Coldplay will be performing their latest single, “All My Life.” While some may groan at the prospect of another Coldplay performance, let’s face it – their anthems are undeniably catchy. Expect some light banter with Chris Martin and the gang, likely involving awkward anecdotes and self-deprecating humor.
Tune in to BBC One this Friday, December 6, at 10:40 PM .
