Get ready for a festive treat that’s bound to light up your Christmas evening! The Graham Norton Show is back on December 25th, and this episode is a holiday gift you won’t want to miss. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: the guest lineup is nothing short of spectacular. Imagine Hollywood heavyweights Jack Black and Paul Rudd sharing the sofa—yes, the same dynamic duo from the horror meta-reboot Anaconda—bringing their signature humor to the show. And this is the part most people miss: alongside them is the incredibly talented Jessie Buckley, fresh from her heart-wrenching portrayal of William Shakespeare’s wife, Agnes, in the tragic drama Hamnet. If that’s not enough, actress and comedian Michelle de Swarte joins the fun, sharing insights from her hit BBC sitcom Spent, where she’s both writer and star. But wait, there’s more—musical genius Tom Odell takes the stage to perform When I Close My Eyes from his latest album, A Wonderful Life (Epilogue). It’s a blend of laughter, drama, and melody that’s perfect for the season. Controversial question: Can a single episode of a talk show truly capture the essence of holiday magic? Or is it just another night of TV? Tune in at 7:30pm on Thursday via ABC and decide for yourself. And don’t forget to share your thoughts—are you team Jack Black or team Paul Rudd? Let the debate begin in the comments!
