In the early 1990s, he regularly appeared as a comedian and panelist on the BBC Radio 4 show “Loose Ends.” Norton was also an early success on the newly launched Channel 5 in the UK, winning an award as a stand-in host for a late-night talk show.

In 1996, Norton played Father Noel Furlong in several episodes of the popular Channel 4 series Father Ted. This early success led to Norton’s moving to Channel 4 in 1998 to host his own chat shows, including the weekly “So Graham Norton” and the daily “V Graham Norton.” It was during this time that Norton’s persona as a cheeky, innuendo-laden comedian was fully developed.

However, he also faced controversy in 2004 when he made an insensitive joke on his Channel 4 show about the recent death of Bee Gees singer Maurice Gibb, leading to complaints and apologies from the network.
