Showing every Friday evening on BBC, The Graham Norton Show remains one of the UK’s most-watched talk shows, with the most recent series averaging 2.9 million viewers per episode.

Irish comedian, broadcaster, and writer Graham Norton first launched the show on BBC Two in 2007 before it moved to BBC One.

The show has featured a wide range of international stars, with the most recent episode featuring Cillian Murphy, Taylor Swift, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Domnhall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi.

“Getting to host my own chat show is a huge pleasure as well as a privilege,” said Norton. “I’m thrilled that the BBC are allowing me to continue for another three years.”

Graham Stuart, Managing Director of So Television and Executive Producer of the show, added: “We began the Norton Talk Show journey in 1998 and have never felt like stopping. So happy the BBC feel the same way.”
