6 Reasons Why "The Graham Norton Show" Is The Best Chat Show

We all enjoy the occasional chat show binge-watch. From Conan, Kimmel, Corden, Fallon, there are many big names in the business that never fail to provide the world with light entertainment and smooth conversation with our favorite celebrities. However, I think there is one name in the business that outshines them all. And that would be Graham Norton. And trust me, he is the best for many reasons.

He gives stars from all over the world the opportunity to be together.

I can watch my favorite English comedian sit next to my favorite American actor. And what’s better? They actually get to interact and chat. This creates an unbeatable dynamic, and fascinates me, as it is something we rarely get to see in other talk shows.

The setup of the show allows for guests to feel comfortable

There are some perks of this show being filmed in the UK, and these include the drinking laws. The guests get to loosen up with a glass of wine (and even stronger drinks), making the environment seem more casual.
