Graham Norton signs deal with Comedy Central
Graham Norton likes to claim he whiled away his Irish childhood on the sofa. "If I was to make a film of my life it would probably start when I was 18," he once said. "All I did as a child was sit at home and watch TV. That was my window to life and it was a world I always wanted to be a part of." And now he is, with several seasons of a popular celebrity interview show behind him on British TV. Now Norton, who has always touched his cap with uncharacteristic sincerity when mentioning Leno and Letterman, has landed his own regular slot on a U.S. network, after BBC America aired Channel 4's "So Graham Norton" and "V Graham Norton" and turned him into a cult figure. Apparently beating off (yeah, it really says that) rival bids from NBC and ABC, Comedy Central has signed him to a 13-episode deal. Guardian Unlimited
