All credit to him for keeping his now-husband's name out of the papers.

This makes me happy. Dataloungers always complain their peers have nothing but bad things to say about out gay celebrities, but I have nothing but good things to say about Graham Norton.

Graham is the only openly gay man that seems sane in the industry, without any BULLSHIT scandals or BULLSHIT sexual identity confusion games. His show is really entertaining too without all the fakery of shows like Jimmy Closeted Bi Fake Fallon.

He's only worth £24m after 29 seasons of his show?

Dear god, that bloated and unfunny Corden makes $9mm a year from his late night show.

Graham is worth way more than £24 million ($30 million), he sold his production company for £17 million ten years ago and still earns around £4 million a year.

Graham’s show is a lot more enjoyable than any modern talk show host. Sure, it’s not a great intelligent interview like the old Dick Cavett videos I love but it’s way more tolerable than Corden or Fallon or Kimmel.

What I like about Norton's show is that the stars actually converse.

R7 so true, and it's not a forced or faked conversing. It's genuine!

Oh, dear.

R9, in the British Isles, "got" is still used by some as the past participle of "to get". Younger people are more likely, I've noticed, to say "gotten" (presumably under the influence of American culture).

Good for him! I love the chaotic fun of his show.

Apropos of nothing really, but this is one of my favorite Graham Norton Show moments.

His BBC chat show is so much tamer than his original Channel 4 one, So Graham Norton (later renamed V Graham Norton). In one episode, he discovered there was a US state that had a law against having sex with living fish but not dead ones. So he phoned up their police department and told them he'd been having sex with what he believed to be a dead fish, but was horrified to realise it was alive, and wanted to know if he was going to be charged. That sort of thing. There was also a great episode featuring Cybill Shepherd and Cilla Black, but I can't find it on YouTube.

Apparently it's Markie Mark, now that was an interesting episode.

R10 babe don’t say the British isles.

What would you rather have him say? "The British aisles"?

Didn't realise he was gay.

It's accurate, R17. The first name under which the island of Ireland was known to history and geographers was Mikra Brettania, i.e. Little Britain, as opposed to Megale Brettania (Great Britain).

It's also accurate from a linguistic point of view because we're talking about issues where British (and Irish) usage of English departs from American usage. Why do you object to it?

R9 Note in the article linked that it says: "Presenter Graham Norton has reportedly got married to his long-term love, who has never been named."

I like Graham but his talk show can't be compared to the U.S. hosts who have to do 5 shows a week.

Also, the U.S. hosts have to serve the interests of the conglomerates that own their shows. That means bringing on guests that the host wouldn't necessarily choose.

And U.S. celebs who choose to go on Graham's show are not necessarily going to behave the same way in front of a U.S. audience.

R21, Ireland and the UK will do just fine.

DL better find a photo of the new twink husband or I'm going to be very dissssssappointed.

R3, sadly, Graham wouldn't have been chosen as a host of one of the U.S. nightly shows.

He has a lot of freedom with his show compared to the U.S. hosts. In that way, he is lucky. He didn't have to worry about not fitting into the straight, family guy mold that U.S. networks want.

R26 There is one in the linked article.

R21 nobody in Ireland accepts it. It’s defunct politically, and geographically. Ireland does not belong to the UK save the 6 counties.

As the other poster said you can say the UK and Ireland.

On a side note, good for Graham.

His show uses childish smut but its main purpose is get the parade of guests advertise their latest product

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R31 Thanks, you're right, my bad. I overlooked the rather small caption. That is kind of interesting that nobody seems to know who the husband is even..

I enjoy his show, the only thing I do not like is his major fawning over tom cruise, when cruise shows up... BEFORE he, cruise, ever appeared on his show, he used to RIGHTFULLY SO bash cruise and scientology, but once cruise became a regular guest, norton did a complete turn around...

now he kisses cruise ass just like all the U.S. hosts fallon, corden, kimmel, etc....

the only show and host that cruise has not appeared on to my knowledge is stephen colbert? My hope is that colbert wouldn't put up with cruise shit and phony public persona and cruise knows this?..

Hmm. Marriage records in the Republic of Ireland are searchable, for a small fee. Surprised his husband’s name hasn’t been made known yet.

by Anonymousreply 35July 12, 2022 1:26 PM

If that's the case, R35, they may have been married civilly in the United Kingdom and had a kind of committment ceremony/spiritual ceremony and reception in Bantry (Ireland).

by Anonymousreply 36July 12, 2022 1:55 PM

U.K. birth, death and marriage records are also public and searchable, r36. I had a look at Madonna’s marriage entry in the registers, back in the day. Surprised no one is yet on it.

Ah, fair enough, R37. Thanks. I'm sure someone will be on it soon unless the legal part was conducted in a third country.

Markie Mark got so drunk on the show he began crawling over Norton, sat on his lap, began trying to feel him up.
