    God I hope that's the last time that Kit Harington is a guest as he is the dullest one that I've ever seen on the show. It's funny because I read a review of the film that he's in and that said that he doesn't have the charm or charisma to play the lead role. He does seem like a guy who just got lucky because he's good looking and stars in a popular TV show.

    As soon as you see that the guests have got glasses of water as their drinks of choice, you know, alas, that it's going to be a real slog of a show. Shouldn't be relevant, of course, but it usually is.

    Ok show tonight but not particularly exciting. I agree about Harrington - dull dull dull and fortunately i'm like Rebel, i haven't seen GOT either! :D

    Rebel wasn't funny and Le Blanc was laid back as usual.

    Actually the whole show was dull incl. the music.

    Just like the fat woman, Rebel (?) who had poured herself into that leather dress
    Is she supposed to have any talent?

    Yes she is a good comedy actress. I enjoyed Pitch Perfect so I might go see Pitch Perfect 2

    In an interview with DS:

    But Norton explained that he has his eye on a big Hollywood star for this series, saying: "I'm not going to jinx it by saying it. We thought we'd never get them.

    "As far as I know, they've never done a UK chat show, and they're a big Hollywood A-lister. Those are your clues! Google it! Hollywood A-Lister, never done a UK talk show."

    Who do we think it could be? Perhaps George Clooney for Tomorrowland?

    Possibly but George Clooney was on parkinson years ago and snogged dawn french when he came on.

    I'm thinking Brad Pitt maybe

    Never done a UK talk show EVER?! That's a tough one. I think Brad Pitt has back in the day. I could be wrong though.

    It's either someone who's popular vs someone who's an A-list legend.

    What about Jack Nicholson?

    It is George Clooney! Maybe Graham wasn't aware of Parkinson.

    Interesting and good on Graham. Maybe the good word from his friends like Matt Damon gave Graham the green light to nab him as a guest. Maybe he will get Brad and Angelina one of these days.

    One thing I've noticed is there are 12 episodes this spring series as usual . However, in two weeks, on SROAudiences, there are two tape dates on Sunday and Thursday. I would gather they are doing a two couches like Will Smith last series. I bet George Clooney will tape on Sunday and the Osbournes and Snoop Dogg on Thursday. I am not sure about the Rock. Could go either way. Is he promoting a movie with Clooney?

    Anyways, just a small word of warning for those who might hate the idea of a split episode.

    ETA: Just a quick thought. Isn't Eurovision in two weeks as well? Pardon my ignorance but when would Graham need to leave for Vienna?

    I thought LeBlanc was fine and actually saved the show.

    Like others that GOT blokey was dull as hell and Wilson isn't as funny as she thinks. Fat = bubbly/funny. Nope! (Beware Miranda next week)

    She should just wear a tracksuit and baggy t-shirt as any other type of clothing just doesn't suit her.

    Any idea if Aidan Turner will be on Graham Norton's show (or any other chat show come to that?) I'd hate to miss him. :)

    Is it me or are all 3 of their heads a bit weird? They look sort of... related.

    Wow, was that the Cookie Monster?

    It does look like they're miming. It's like they recorded a live version prior to the performance and decided to mime that. Dreadful song. Seems very dated.

    I get that the BBC don't want to win because they couldn't afford to host it, but surely there's a happy medium between something that would win and that type of utter shite?

    Why is he constantly mocking his job? Shut up and let him tell the story.

    Another awful Eurovision song

    Good show though. Greg seemed genuinely humble about Rik Mayall and great Red Chair stories
