Graham Norton (Presenter)
Born: April 04, 1963 in Dublin
Best Known For: His double entendres and cheeky chat show.
Early-life: Born Graham William Walker on 4 April, 1963, in Dublin. Studied English and French at Cork University and came top in his exams before dropping out after his second year to join a commune in San Francisco. Later arrived in Britain to study at the Central School of Drama in London. Initially wanted to play serious parts, but realised he was better at making people laugh and concentrated on comedy.
Career: Started as a stand-up comedian, presented short-lived game show Carnal Knowledge and appeared on Father Ted. Got his big break in 1997 presenting The Jack Docherty Show while the regular host was on holiday. Norton won Best Newcomer at the British Comedy Awards, beating Docherty who had been nominated for the same plaudit. In 1998, he landed his own chat show, So Graham Norton, and started the production company, So Television. He signed a multi-million-dollar contract to host an American version of his chat show, The Graham Norton Effect, before moving to the BBC in 2004, presenting programmes including Strictly Dance Fever and The Bigger Picture. Since then, his star has gone into orbit, fronting endless musical reality shows, resurrecting his chat show, and recently taking over as the voice of Eurovision.
Quote: On how he purchases clothes - 'If it's shiny, I buy it.'
Trivia: He writes an advice column in The Daily Telegraph.
Madonna (Guest)
Born: August 16, 1958 in Bay City, Michigan
Best Known For: Being the most successful female recording artist of the 20th century.
Early-life: Born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone in Michigan, USA, on August 16, 1958. Her mother died of breast cancer when Madonna was five. With her seven siblings she was then sent to live with various relatives until her father remarried. A new family unit was formed, and Madonna was given a great deal of responsibility, spending most of her adolescence caring for her brothers and sisters. After attending the University of Michigan, she left for New York to begin studying under acclaimed choreographer Alvin Ailey.
Career: Madonna was signed to Sire in 1982 as a solo performer and her eponymous debut album was released in 1983. The bubbly hit Holiday became her first top 40 single, followed by Borderline, which hit the top 10. A string of film roles followed in Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, Body of Evidence, A League of Their Own, and a cameo appearance in Die Another Day. She also landed the coveted role of Evita, winning a Golden Globe for her performance. In her musical career, Madonna has won numerous awards with her multi-million-selling records. In 2003 she published her first children's book, The English Roses. She continues to tour and release albums.
Quote: 'A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.'
Trivia: Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide.
