Graham Norton’s Advice to His Celebrity Guests
The Graham Norton Show has several compilations of some of the biggest celebrities sharing some of their most embarrassing stories. And the host has urged his celebrity guests to stop embarrassing themselves on his talk show.
During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Norton discussed what it’s like being a host and Meyers complimented him for dealing with multiple guests. Further in their conversation, Norton shared how guests on his show often get competitive over sharing a funny story about themselves.
“So, if an actor tells a funny story, you can see someone seething,” he said, as he explained that the stakes get higher and higher with every next person. However, sometimes guests end up sharing “terrible stories.” And the Queen of the Universe host suggested that they should not share such stories on television.
“Sometimes we do get like terrible stories, like don’t tell that on television!” he shared. Seth Meyers also acknowledged that his show does feature many such moments.
