Graham Norton, the undisputed king of the chat show, returns this Friday, January 10th, at 10:40 PM on BBC One with a lineup guaranteed to pique the interest of even the most jaded viewer. It’s a theatrical extravaganza this week, with Tom Hiddleston discussing his role in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and Brie Larson making her West End debut in Elektra. Not to be outdone, Billy Porter, fresh from his triumphs in Kinky Boots and Pose, will be holding court, discussing his portrayal of the Emcee in Cabaret.
As if that weren’t enough star power, Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman will also be gracing the sofa, likely dishing on the latest shenanigans from The Traitors. And for the musical interlude, singer-songwriter Myles Smith will perform his track “Nice to Meet You.”
Norton’s skill lies in his ability to create a relaxed yet engaging atmosphere, coaxing entertaining anecdotes and surprisingly candid moments from his guests. This episode, with its diverse mix of personalities from stage, screen, and music, should be no exception. It’s a classic example of the Norton magic: throw together a seemingly random assortment of famous people, add a dash of witty banter, and let the sparks fly.
Catch The Graham Norton Show this Friday at 10:40 PM on BBC One.
