In a recent interview, beloved talk show host Graham Norton opened up about his experience with some of the most memorable guests he’s had on his show over the years. Known for his quick wit and ability to make even the most reserved celebrities open up, Norton has hosted a wide range of famous faces, but not all experiences were created equal.
Among the highlights was Lady Gaga, whom Norton praised for her vibrant personality and energy. He described her as someone who “brings the party with her,” making her one of his favorite guests. Gaga’s bold fashion and larger-than-life persona always add a spark to the conversation, keeping both Norton and the audience entertained.
On the flip side, Norton also mentioned a few less-than-ideal experiences. He diplomatically hinted that some guests have been more difficult to engage with, but he singled out Kevin Costner as a particularly tricky interview. While a Hollywood icon, Costner’s reserved and serious demeanor made it challenging for Norton to get the lighthearted, fun vibe that his show is known for.
Despite these contrasting experiences, Norton takes it all in stride, understanding that not every guest is going to deliver the same energy. Over the years, he’s learned how to adapt and find humor in even the most awkward encounters, keeping the show a hit with audiences around the world.
