Really he's not.

 

[Justin Bailey]

I agree. He's too British.

 

[Archaix]

True, he's not really funny. However, I find his show hillarious. Just some of the bits they do are great, while his interviews are carried on the back of the guest. If the guest is into it and decides to make it a good interview, then it is, or so it seems in his US show.

 

[FortNinety]

He's flamboyantly gay! Oh boy! He asks celebrity guests dirty questions! Oh boy! He makes prank phone calls! Oh boy! He thinks us American are odd! Oh boy! He's "on the internet"! Oh boy!

Some things for the UK are fucking hilarious (Monty Python, The Office). Some things are clearly not.

it really was funny when we first got it - about ... oo.... 5-6 years ago?

Probably the BBC version was funny but, the CC version is not.

I enjoy it. Anything is better then Shorties Watching Shorties.

 

[nitewulf]

you know which british flamboyant non gay guy is funny though?
eddie izzard. he's brilliant.

Hmmm, maybe but in his defense he is pretty good on Tough Crowd. His show is just weak to me.

 

[gofreak]

He's actually irish.

It took me a long time to get into his show, but I like it now. I haven't seen the US version, though.

 

[hobbitx]

I hate that guy and his show, I hope it gets cancelled. Nothing is more annoying than seeing some wide-eyed british guy pop up on your screen while your trying to watch some South Park reruns. Not to mention how much the show itself sucks.

Also, didn't they already give some loud british guy his own show on CC that failed or am I thinking of something else?

 

[etiolate]

I enjoy the show. It's certainly has a different vibe than the other Comedy Central shows and it beats Tough Crowd.

 

[Panajev2001a]

How many of you knew he used to star in the part of a priest in the show Father Ted ?

Father Noel Furlong (Graham Norton)

I did, Father Ted is brilliant, one of the best comedy series of all time and we share the same last name


Btw Norton is not British

I agree with your analysis of Father Ted.

"now who's a moaning Michael?"

 

[firex]

I think Graham Norton is funny; at least moreso than most other gay comics out there. Now, Mario Cantone... he's one that I don't think is funny most of the time.

 

[Mama Smurf]

The show is shit with Amercian audiences.

I don't know why exactly, but everytime the show has been set in the US, it's just been so poor. I guess it's because the audience play such a vital part in the show (or used to anyway, I've not seen this CC version), and something about the differences between a US and British crowd ruins it.

I can believe this.

And Father Ted? Awesome show.

 

[human5892]

I hate Graham Norton and his shitty show. Fortninety was absolutely spot on in his sarcastic analysis:

He's flamboyantly gay! Oh boy! He asks celebrity guests dirty questions! Oh boy! He makes prank phone calls! Oh boy! He thinks us American are odd! Oh boy! He's "on the internet"! Oh boy!

That's exactly how I feel.

I thought the BBC version was pretty decent. The best thing about it was actually the audience, when telling their embarrassing stories. They'd say the most shocking things in a dead-pan British manner.
