Susan Sarandon Visits ‘The Graham Norton Show’
June 14, 2008 by Chandra
The third season of BBC America’s hit late-night talk series The Graham Norton Show is now almost half over, but the big-name guests are still showing up regularly.
Tonight at 10pm EST, host Norton will welcome the latest veteran actress to grace his stage, the one and only Susan Sarandon. I have no doubt the New York native will be able to keep up with his trademark raunchy improvisation and banter, so the appearance is definitely one worth looking forward to.
Also stopping by are English comedian Jon Culshaw, who has a knack for impressions, and musical guest The Feeling, a British soft rock band. Check out photos from the episode after the jump
Cynthia Nixon Visits ‘The Graham Norton Show’

As everyone in the United States knows, the long-awaited film version of Sex and the City opened in theaters yesterday. Fans of the series will get a treat tonight when star Cynthia Nixon pays a visit on the latest episode of BBC America’s The Graham Norton Show.
Also on the schedule are English comedian David Mitchell (Peep Show, That Mitchell and Webb Look) and American rockers One Republic. Check your local television guide for air times either before or after taking a look at the following stills from the episode.
What’s on Tonight: The Graham Norton Show
If you have cable network BBC America and want a change of pace tonight, I highly recommend checking out an all-new episode of the fab Graham Norton Show.
For those who aren’t familiar with Norton, the popular late-night host is an Irish comedian and actor who’s gained a tremendous, deserved following for his always entertaining and often raunchy (or “cheeky,” as they say in the United Kingdom) humor.
His BBC America series has a format familiar to fans of the genre — the requisite monologues, improvised bits, and, of course, interviews with tons of people famous and not even close.
What differentiates The Graham Norton Show from its American counterparts, aside from the talented host’s signature flamboyant style, is the flexibility he has on European television to introduce subjects that would give FFC members and network censors here fatal heart attacks on a regular basis. In other words, it has lots of the weird, off-the-wall — and, yes, sex-related — stuff that people really talk about when they’re hanging out with friends and family.
The third season of The Graham Norton Show just debuted stateside last Saturday, with Tony Curtis and Kevin Bacon as guests. Norton welcomes another great group tonight, as well, including entertainment veteran Martin Sheen (The West Wing).
Irish comedian Ed Byne shares the couch with the actor, while Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas will be joined by Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole to perform their new single “Heartbreaker.” Sounds like a good time to me.
