Cher on Norton’s sofa is always event television. She swore, she flirted with Adam Driver (who remained impressively stoic), and she revealed she still sleeps with a specific brand of 1970s hairdryer because “it’s the only one that doesn’t make me look like a poodle.” Adam Driver, promoting Ferrari , did an impromptu, deadpan impression of a lawnmower engine. It made no sense. It was brilliant. Guests: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, and Sam Rockwell.
This was a coup. Three generations of Hollywood royalty on one sofa. The highlight came when Tom Hanks revealed the absurdly specific rule for his wife Rita Wilson’s “Halloween decoration hierarchy,” leading Julia Roberts to fall off her chair laughing. Timothée Chalamet, looking genuinely star-struck by Hanks and Roberts, provided the perfect junior-energy contrast. Olivia Rodrigo then performed “Get Him Back!” with punkish glee. This episode set the bar impossibly high. Guests: Sir Paul McCartney, Martin Freeman, and Dawn French. the graham norton show season 31 amr

A quieter episode but a fan favorite. McCartney told a never-before-heard story about Elvis Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, trying to poach The Beatles in 1964. Dawn French, recounting a disastrous dinner party, had McCartney in tears of laughter. Norton’s skill here was letting the conversation breathe—no rush to the next clip. Guests: Cher, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer, and Michael Bublé. It was brilliant
