The Graham Norton Effect...?

[Deuteriumoxide]

Is anybody watching this? It's pretty funny. Last week at the premiere I was worried It was going to be dick joke after dick joke but it turned out allright.

This weeks episode is even better.

Jennifer Tilley is hot.

What do y'all think?

[amerifolklegend]

I can't stand that guy.

I think he's british or something.

[Foosinho]

I saw part of the first ep (damn satellite cut out due to weather, so my TiVo's recording was missing about 1/3 of it), TiVo'd the show last night to give it a second go-round. He's pretty funny, but I'm undecided about the show so far.

[blkbrnrvr]

I thought his BBC show was funny, but I haven't caught the Comedy Central version yet. Is it pretty much the same format?

[Achtung]

His Comedy Central show is fairly similar to the BBC version. I saw the first episode, forgot to record the second one though. It was pretty funny, and he does a pretty good job of letting the guests have their fun too.

[sanariot]

I think it's pretty good, but it's a little more tame than his BBC show.

[YanksFC]

It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I thought Julie Delpy's inability to identify a sexual device was pretty comical.

[Footix]

He's a riot.

If you are in the NYC area, you should consider seeing a taping of the show (it shoots in Chelsea). It tapes in live time, so there's little of that downtime that normally makes seeing TV shoots so excruciating, and Norton warms the crowd up himself with extremely filthy and funny material. It's really fun.

Man, that guy just tries waaaaay too hard.

[La China Poblana]

I think it's pretty good, but it's a little more tame than his BBC show.

That's what I was worried about.

[sch2383]

I'm going to give it some time...see if it hits its stride. Right now its funny, but not consistantly so.

[Peakite]

I can't stand that guy.

Next door.


And he hasn't yet done a BBC show, they just showed it over in the States.

[JoeBloggs]

He does a channel 4 show doesn't he, what does he do on the BBC? I think he is Irish not British.

Not really keen on the UK show, usally he has to associate everything with his sexuality.

Maybe you will get Bo'Selector next in the states, now thats controversial.

[amerifolklegend]

Next door.

Six of one/half dozen of the other.

[Red Harvest]

His "British" version of the show is/was shown here in the States on BBC America so that's where the BBC reference comes from.

Didn't realize he left England/Channel 4 for the States and Comedy Central until I read a piece about him and his new show online.

I saw the first episode and thought it was ok.

[ilv2]

I liked his show on BBC America.

the comedy central version seems a little forced, and the guests are a bit annoying. That said, the thing with the blow up doll and wig was awesome.

[655321]

I've watched it a couple of more times now and it hasn't grown on me at all...

[YanksFC]

I've watched it a couple of more times now and it hasn't grown on me at all...

There have been a few hilarious moments, but overall, I think the show won't last much longer unless it gets more consistently funny. I'm disappointed, as Comedy Central is usually pretty good with its programming.

[ilv2]

Comedy Central needs to bring back Gerhard Reinke

Yes. Just like Pakistani's & Indians, or Israeli's & Palestinians.

Trust me, soon enough you'll all want to kill the guy - he was pretty funny on Father Ted, but the only funny thing he did on his show in the last 3-4 years was having on Edward Furlong who was coked out of his mind while being interviewed and talking some CRAZY stuff; that said it was kinda sad, too since poor ol' Eddy's career seems to be going the way of Corey Haim, et al).
