Who is Graham Norton’s Least Favorite Guest? | WWHL

[@redchangchun1]

I remember Olivia Colman and David Tennant pretending to be utterly absorbed in everything Harvey Weinstein had to say, while Jessie J sat on the other end looking like she could not care less who he was.

[@markdaly1648]

In graham's memoir the life and loves of a he devil he tells the full story of the worst guest he ever had on and it was the queen of pop Madonna. I remember that interview because she refused to talk to the other guests. There was a space between maddonna and the other guests. It was around the time of the rebel heart tour and she has not been asked back and she was utter nightmare to deal with. She cancelled her pre interview earlier in the day. And she gave graham Nortons staff the runaround. For 6 months prior to that appearance. Prior to that she demanded a one on one interview graham recalled also in his book that she decidedly icy and there were no other guests. She won't be back on the show again.

[@madmandonna1]

That's weird because she wasn't on the Graham Norton show in 2015, she's had 2 appearances in 2012 and 2019. 2012 she was on her own for half the interview and then joined by the cast of her film she'd directed. In 2019 she was on the show and was a bit off, but following the filming of the show, Norton hosted a Madame X fan night with her in London and recalled that it was good fun. So I'm intrigued as to what exactly you're referring to because an interview between the 2 of them around her Rebel Heart tour didn't occur.

[@MLife1972]

I heard the nightmare guest was Jennifer Lopez mainly because of behind the scenes shenanigans regarding dressing rooms.

[@benu_bird]

@@madmandonna1 I remember the 2019 interview. Ian McKellan was on as well. She kept interrupting him as he tried to tell a story. She wondered out loud why she was on with other guests. Demanded that her champagne be given to her rather than simply leaning forward to get it herself. Nasty person.

[@ackerjawaka1966]

​@@MLife1972it was because she kept asking for Buritos and Tacos as apparently she loves them 😜

[@scott6926]

​@madmandonna1 every time she was on she was embarrassing and awkward and strange,the guests and the producers of the show kept saying there was an overpowering smell of rotten eggs from her one of the camera men had to be sick and several staff had to leave the building it was too much, then the last time her staff said she needed a dressing room to herself cos she had tricimonisis she was suffering anal leaking and needed wardrobe changes,she kept marking the seats and on 2 occasions guests complained about green wet stains on the seating area green rooms and a strong smell of off fish and eggs and her staff had to tell Nortons producers the issue she had it was a nightmare apparently.

[@marieleelee]

I hate saying this because I really love his movies but one of my least favorite episodes of his show is the one with Richard Gere. He was creepy, a little condescending and the whole vibe of that episode was really off.

I’m American and only learned about Graham’s talk (or “chat”, as the Brits call it) show a few years ago. I absolutely love his style of interviewing. As an aside, I think I may have an answer to that woman’s question. Matthew Perry was not very impressed by Miriam Margolyes when they appeared on the show together. I think her personality was just too much for him. It was hilarious. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Whereas in contrast, Miriam and Will I Am is the pairing we never knew we needed.

Just to be clear. Graham is irish

[@travisjay43]

Everyone's dying for him to say it was Madonna, Madonna's been on his show more than once, so if she's the worst guest why would he invite her back? 🤔

[@carysdavies2603]

Wasn’t the first time with the cast of her film and she refused anyone else on the couch for half the episode. I think I for the second time which was 7 years later it was her and 3 people she didn’t know and she was so rude. She refused to clap for Ian Mcellans 80th birthday and demanded someone pass her her drink she was so rude

I would like to have actually heard what combo did not work on the couch, not just which guest is in jail and is a safe answer. I have gone into some episodes knowing the lineup was horrid - and it turned out to be gold! When it works, it can be great. When it does not, it can be uncomfortable.😎

[@benu_bird]

I remember Madonna on his show once. She talked over all the other guests, wondered out loud why so had to even share the interview with anyone else, and even demanded that her rose champagne be given to her (rather than her actually leaning forward and getting it herself). She was probably the worst guest I ever saw on his show, and it confirmed the rumors I've heard about her.

The show isn't really that popular in the UK, allegedly because the government was worried it would stir up sympathy for Scottish independence during the Independence referendum in Scotland. I know that it was officially picked up by Amazon Prime Video before it premiered and the first three series were also aired on More4 (not many people watched it, I guess) before it was dropped so officially the only way to see it is via streaming now on Lionsgate+.

[@CarissaConti]

Not enough eye rolls. Should have given a real answer, not the safe politically correct answer. I saw the episode with Weinstein and it's shocking how intelligent, articulate and polite he comes across, now that we know what he was getting up to behind the scenes. As a guest Weinstein was completely normal, polite and friendly. I'm sure Madonna was no walk in the park to deal with however, considering her massive egomania. Then there was Mickey Rourke, who was completely loaded and wouldn't stop hitting on Jessica Biel. When Graham was in the audience talking to audience members he had to keep a constant eye on what Mickey was doing and saying to Jessica on stage because Mickey wouldn't stop being inappropriate with her. Then at one point Graham asked Jessica if he needed to intervene, concerned. Of the shows I've seen the best combos were the episode with Bill Murray, Matt Damon and Paloma Faith (Matt even said towards the end that it was the most fun he'd ever had on a talk show) and then of course the infamous Miriam Margolyes and Will I Am episode.

I've just mentioned that too someone above. Margot was great & lovely & Reese kept being all obnoxious , judges & up herself. Which cemented for me I don't like her anymore. I'd already been permanently put off her through her Instagram videos where on numerous occasions she went on the secret to her success in life was not to have any negative people around her, no one having problems. She said ber gran had taught this just be surrounded by happy whatever people. And cut out anyone that s feeling negative this just made me despise her as a person. So basically she would be a shit friend. If you dared have anything bad happen to you in life rather than be a supporting friend she would just ditch you, so she doesn't have to deal with your negativity. Terrible person. Amazing actress though still. I genuine think she was a little jealous of Margot too She obviously didn't like sharing the limelight

[@hollybigelow5337]

Hmm, I believe Harvey was bad. Just look at the body language of the people around him on the couch. However, I had long ago heard the rumor that the worst guest was a certain celebrity who used to date P Diddy and is rumored to have been the one to provide him with a weapon during the commission of a serious crime.
