Of course, you have Norton and his hilarious one-liners to carry on every conversation.
But the shows success largely relies on unpredictability.
The format ofThe Graham Norton Showbrings together a pretty unusual mix of guests on its iconic red couch.

However, as entertaining as he is, even he cant salvage certain situations.
Because the truth is, when celebrities come unprepared, they often do or blurt out something inappropriate.
Thats when the lighthearted tone of the show turns into awkward silences and strained laughter.
The American actor was accompaniedby comedians Sarah SilvermanandMichael Fassbender(Shame).
Now, by no means am I saying that the talk show is family-friendly.
Wahlbergs behavior was unpredictable to the point where even Norton didnt know how to handle him.
The actor kept interrupting other peoples stories and even challenged Fassbender to a penis-measuring contest.
And you could practically see the horror on the hosts face.
I dont know what Wahlberg was thinking, but the whole thing was just painful to watch.
How disrespectful is that?

He referred to the Me Too movement as a week of sleaze, right before calling Depp on.
And if you ask me, Nortons choice of words was extremely insensitive.
During the interview,Depp seemed to be in great spiritsand avoided talking about the allegations against him.

Thats a great lineup of guests if you ask me.
However, Geres attitude towards Swift and Ronan made the whole thing extremely uncomfortable to watch.
And while she shared the story in good humor, it was obvious that Gere was offended.

Thankfully, she had Norton to rescue the day and steer the conversation elsewhere.
But thats not even the worst part.
Throughout the episode, Gere is seen placing his hand on Ronan’s back and stroking it.

At one point, she quickly moved closer to Malkovich to put a big gap between herself and Gere.
Asreported byThe Independent, Norton recounted that Weinstein essentially forced himself onto the show.
Norton claimed that his behavior was “chilling in retrospect.

The young actor was taken aback and Norton had to step in to change the subject.
But the uncomfortable tension lingered throughout the episode.

Diddy came under firefor his questionable lifestyle, he was one of the biggest figures in the hip-hop world.
During his appearance on a 2011 episode ofThe Graham Norton Show, he talked about his infamous parties.
Diddy claimed that he wantedPrince Harry and Prince Williamto attend his infamous parties.
However, Hammer took her words too literally and decided not to buy her anything at all.
Of course, she was not happy to find out about this on Christmas day.
I will never make that mistake again, Hammer admitted.
Almost a year after Hammers appearance on the show, he and Chambers announced their separation in 2020.
What might have seemed like a joke back then comes off as quite tone-deaf now.
From the minute the interview began, he appeared unbothered and uninterested.
Let me tell you, though, the man does not know how to tell a story!
Norton confessed that he tried to gently move the conversation along just so De Niro wouldnt feel embarrassed.
I guess you cant have everything in life.
