Karriere

Graham Norton ist in seiner Heimatstadt Bandon aufgewachsen, bis er das University College Cork verließ, um in San Francisco an der Central School of Speech and Drama Schauspielunterricht zu nehmen. 1992 sorgte Norton für großes Aufsehen, als er als eine transsexuelle Version von Mutter Teresa beim Edinburgh Fringe Festival auftrat, weil die Abteilung des schottischen Fernsehens für religiöse Angelegenheiten fälschlicherweise annahm, dass er die echte Mutter Teresa repräsentierte.

Norton trat erstmals in den frühen 1990er Jahren im Rundfunk bei BBC Radio 4 in Erscheinung, wo er die Sendung Loose Ends am frühen Samstagmorgen moderierte.

Eurovision

Graham Norton moderierte den Eurovision Dance Contest 2007 in London, sowie den Eurovision Dance Contest 2008 in Glasgow. Außerdem ersetzt Graham Norton 2009 Sir Terry Wogan als Moderator des Englischen Vorentscheids für den Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moskau "Your country needs you", sowie als Kommentator der BBC während des Song Contests.
