The Graham Norton Effect

What a hilarious show! It's very much like his BBC version. His first? guests were Sandra Bernhard and Marlon Wayons, both of which were a blast. Norton is terribly funny. If you have Comedy Central, I HIGHLY recommend this one--it's the yang to the Ellen show's yin.

Possibly my favorite joke he did on the show went something like:

Now, now. Everyone thinks that Mel Gibson might be anti-semitic or a bit of a homophobe. But really I don't think so. Last night I f#@&*!^ him and afterward we watched YENTYL.

"His choice..."

Yes... that was a f-ing hilarious show. The real doll in the bar, etc. I hope that it doesn't tone down. Because I thought it was wonderful!

I have been in a few women's restrooms in my time... for reasons that shall remain nameless...
But alas, never Triple Rock.

America can have Graham Norton is the general consensus of the media here. Although he's an absolutely brilliant comedian/stand-up/presenter, sadly he got a case of too much exposition - he went from one show a week to every weekday, so now people seem to be well rid of him. It became too much of the same. Still, he's great. Very funny.

I thought it was hilarious too! Especially the guy who has the toothbrush website! Well, that was maybe more creepy than funny...
