NEW COMEDY CENTRAL SHOW CALLED THE GRAHAM NORTON EFFECT.
The new show is sure to be wildly entertaining and chock full of wacky celebrity guests plus his usual audience participation antics. If past guests Harvey Keitel, Dennis Hopper, Goldie Hawn, Debby Harry, Lee Majors, Tony Curtis, Pamela Anderson, Susan Sarrandon, Chris Rock and Liza Minnelli are anything to go by then the fun has just begun.

BBC NEWS calls him a cult figure saying "The combination of his fizzy, unrelenting, upbeat personality with top-notch guests who do things they would never do on any other chat show has contributed to So Graham Norton's success.

This success has been noticed by the public and television industry alike, Mr. Norton has received the BAFTA (BRITISH EMMY/OSCAR) two years running -- 1999 and 2000-- for Best Entertainment performance. ...His exceedingly camp style gives him the license to be exceedingly rude without being offensive, and his quick wit, put-downs and one-liners have made him a cult icon." The Guardian UK

Hi there,

Hope you are looking forward to coming to see the show next week it is the last one of the series and promises to be fantastic. Graham loves the audience to get involved with the show as much as possible and next week is no exception so with this in mind we want to hear about your dreams. Write and tell us about your weirdest and wildest dreams – whether it is sitting in a job interview naked, falling out of a window and falling asleep on your dream date. We would also like to hear about any recurring dreams you may have.

Thanks so much and looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Emma emailed me a second topic for Tuesday's show! Here it is... :D


Hi there,

Just another little task for everyone to do over the weekend we need you to write a short rap either about something that really bothers you or something that you really like. It doesn’t matter how mundane or bland the topic is we want to hear about it – so maybe it is your mother is always rifling through your drawers, or perhaps you love the way your mum cooks your supper, you hate the way your room mate never turns the coffee machine off, your brother steals all your cool clothes to wear, or your boyfriend wears his trousers too high, your oven is broken, your best friend borrowed a cd years ago and doesn’t admit to it. Whatever it is we want you to express yourselves with a short rap.

Thanks so have a great weekend and keep thinking about your dreams.

Emma
