Graham Norton :: Russell Brand's Raunchy Phone Call

Graham Norton is one of my favourite TV personalities.  He has been in a few Movies and a few TV Shows too [in Father Ted as Fr Noel Furlong] but he is perhaps best known for his chat shows, some on Channel 4 and some on BBC over the years.  The thing I love most about Graham Norton is that he has a way of bringing humour out in people.  There have been a few times I have seen the line up of guests for the Graham Norton show and thought "oh no that will be a cringe fest" and been reluctant to watch yet when I do it always surprises me when people you would never expect to be funny just exude hilarity in his presence.

I don't think any guest on his show would dare dry up and not speak much for he wouldn't be long in letting them and the viewer know "God this is the worst guest I have ever had" - he has never said that but even now I can quite clearly imagine him saying it.  One of the long running gags on the show is his love of prank calling, that has lead to some nuggets of Gold such as calling Vagina in Russia with Joan Rivers or Fucking in Germany with Roseanne
