Graham Norton is one of the best known presenters on British Television. He started his career as one of the best live comperes on the comedy circuit. His first appearances in broadcasting were when he appeared on a regular spot on the BBC Radio 4 show “Loose Ends” in the early 1990s.
Graham Norton: Rise to Fame
His rise to fame began as one of the early successes of Channel 5 when he won an award for his performance as the stand-in host of the late-night talk show usually presented by Jack Docherty (1997). This was followed by the comic quiz show Bring Me the Head of Light Entertainment, which further enhanced his reputation.
TV Work
He also took part in the show Carnal Knowledge. He achieved fame as a broadcaster on Channel 4 and through his role as Father Noel Furlong in the critically acclaimed television series Father Ted. Though he only appeared in three episodes, his performance as Father Noel proved extremely popular with viewers.

His Channel 4 chat shows So Graham Norton and V Graham Norton (2002–2005) became some of the channel’s highest-rated shows and picked up nearly every award going, including four BAFTAs. Graham then moved to the BBC in 2005, where he has had a string of successful series, including Strictly Dance Fever, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? (BBC, 2006), Any Dream Will Do (BBC, 2007) and I’d Do Anything.
