Irish presenter Graham Norton will bring his talk show, ‘The Graham Norton Show’ to a new Friday night prime time slot from October 22nd. The move, confirmed by BBC One Controller, Jay Hunt will see Graham’s show take over the spot vacated by ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross’.
Speaking at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival, Jay Hunt commented that: "Graham's show has gone from strength to strength since moving to BBC One and I'm sure the audience will love his unique blend of comedy and entertainment on a Friday night."
Graham also responded to news of the move saying "I'm thrilled that BBC One like the show enough to move it to Fridays. It's the night the show started on many years ago so it's nice to be back."
Now in its eighth series for the BBC, and celebrating its 501st episode, the show will return in the autumn with a 12-week series featuring a stellar line-up of celebrity guests. The last two series of the show featured appearances from Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Ozzie and Sharon Osborne, Miley Cyrus, John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Joan Rivers, Kevin Bacon, Joanna Lumley, Rod Stewart, Usher, Joshua Jackson, Janet Jackson and Christina Ricci among many others.
