It’s going to be a funny one.
After helping the Children in Need campaign last week, Graham Norton returns to the couch tonight and he’s got a cracking lineup of guests.
Here’s who’s on the show tonight.
Will Ferrell
He’s kind of a big deal. One of the funniest men alive is back with a new film, Daddy’s Home 2, and fans of the Old School, Blades of Glory and Anchorman star will definitely be tuned in. Also, given that we’re entering the Christmas season, it would be criminal if Elf doesn’t get a mention on tonight’s show. We wonder if Graham stinks of beer and cheese, or if he sits on a throne of lies?
Mark Wahlberg
What a coincidence! He’s also starring in Dady’s Home 2. This being said, in the history of the Graham Norton Show, the star of The Departed and Boogie Nights has consistently been one of the more “interesting” guests to appear on the show. We’re expecting more fireworks when he’s paired up with his co-star from The Other Guys.
Mel Gibson
After an extremely tumultuous period in his own private life – that’s probably not going to be talked about – the star of Payback and Ransom made one of the best war films in recent years, Hacksaw Ridge. A few weeks ago, rumours started circulating that Riggs is interested in making another Lethal Weapon film. We wonder if the two-time Oscar-winner going to have something to say about that.
John Lithgow
We all remember him as Dr. Dick Solomon in Third Rock From the Sun, but Lithgow has been a Hollywood stalwart in the years since. With roles in Dexter, Shrek, Dreamgirls, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, How I Met Your Mother, The Crown, and Interstellar, he’ll have plenty to talk about.
Shirley Ballas
The Strictly judge will be talking about the behemoth that is Strictly Come Dancing and sharing some of her favourite memories and anecdotes. Elsewhere, music comes from Kesha who performs Learn to Let Go.
The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One at 22:35.
