Graham Norton will no longer ‘roast’ celebs on his show in major shake-up ‘Not popular’

Graham Norton, 58, has made a number of humorous gags about his guests over the years, but has now decided to leave this in the past. The host said he doesn’t believe his audience has an “appetite” for that humour anymore.

When asked if he regrets any of his gags about his celebrity guests, he said: “It is that thing where you can do jokes about anyone until you meet them and then, of course, they are quite nice, fun or a nice person.

“And then you go back and the writers are going, ‘No, you met, now we cannot do jokes about them any more’.
