Graham Norton: The Guest That Got Away and Other Hilarious Mishaps!

Ever wondered who Graham Norton was most bummed out about missing? Plus, hear about his wild run-ins with Daniel O'Donnell fans!

In a delightful chat with Patrick Kielty on the latest episode of the Late Late Show, beloved Irish chat show host Graham Norton opened up about his career highlights and lowlights in the entertainment industry. One standout moment was when he reminisced about a high-profile guest that "got away." This revelation sparked a wave of nostalgia and intrigue, as fans and viewers alike wondered who it could be! Maybe it was that mysterious A-list actor no one ever seems to catch when they’re in town, or perhaps even a superstar musician who just can’t find the time in their busy schedule.

Not only did Graham share his guest-gone-viral stories, but he also reflected on how he has chosen to reclaim his weekends after years of celebrity interviews. Following the release of his fifth bestselling novel, "Frankie," Graham highlighted how writing has rather pleasantly surprised him as a creative outlet, as well as a great excuse to stay in on Friday nights instead of hosting parties for pop stars and their wild entourages. Who knew writing novels could be a much-needed break from the whirlwind world of talk shows?

As the show went on, the audience was treated to several amusing anecdotes, including a particularly funny moment when Graham recalled leaving Daniel O'Donnell's fans in shock after a light-hearted mix-up. It turns out that not everyone appreciates a good comical jab, especially not when they're brandishing crooner memorabilia! The juxtaposition of Graham’s cheeky humor and Daniel's wholesome charm made for a memorable interaction that both humoured and scandalized fans in equal measure.
