What time The Graham Norton Show is on tonight amid huge shake-up to the BBC's schedule
You'd best have some caffeine to handThe Graham Norton Show has been hit with a big scheduling shake-up tonight – so what time is it on?
Graham is back with his weekly chat show but it is on at a completely different time this evening.
The BBC schedule has been jumbled around to make way for tonight’s Traitors: The Final.
And unfortunately, The Graham Norton Show is one of its casualties.
The show is on at a much later time due to both the Traitors and its spin-off, Uncloaked, which are both bumper editions.
There is good news, though. The line-up will be worth the wait!
Here’s what time The Graham Norton Show is on tonight and who is on the show with Graham.
The Graham Norton Show: Who is on tonight?
Graham welcomes TV kings Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly into the studio for a laugh and a natter tonight.
The Geordie duo, famed for hosting the likes of I’m A Celebrity and the now defunct Saturday Night Take-Away, are on the show to talk about their new podcast.
Hanging Out with Ant & Dec sees the longtime friends catching up on their every day antics. They are both now dads and admit it is a good opportunity to actually speak to each other.
Dec tells Graham: “We both have small kids and live further apart so if a podcast is in the diary, it forces us to get out and get together.
“We know each other inside out and we make each other laugh so hopefully people will like it. Our wives are more nervous than us –
they think we might give too much away!”
Fans can also look forward to Dec’s lost 90s diary, which Ant says makes his “toes curl backwards” in his shoes. Classic!
Ant and Dec go on to tell Graham about a moment with King Charles – who was back then Prince Charles – during a sleepover at Dumfries House.
Ant explains: “We were following him for a year for a TV show and got on really well with him. We were asked if we would like to spend the night at the house ahead of the final interview.
“We were like, ‘Hell, yes’. It was amazing and everything you’d imagine.
“I tried on the robe that was in my room and ran out into the corridor to find Dec, and there was the Prince.
“He said hello and started talking to me about pruning roses. I was so embarrassed.” Awks!
Who else is on?
Graham is also joined by The Crown’s Claire Foy. The actress is starring in a new film, H is for Hawk, and worked with real life goshawks while shooting it.
She proves her dedication to the cause by telling Graham: “I had to get to a competent level of falconry, so I wasn’t afraid of them.
“I came to appreciate them from a position of love and I really miss them. They are not affectionate creatures but there was a real connection.”
Stranger Things fans will be delighted to see Joe Keery on the red sofa. Joe played Steve Harrington in the sci-fi Netflix hit, which has just ended for good.
Graham asks if it has sunk in and Joe replies: “It definitely did when the last show came out on New Year’s Eve. I woke up on New Year’s Day and felt, ‘Wow, that’s the end of an era’. It is so finite and done which is bittersweet.”
Joe will also be chatting about the huge success of his song, End of Beginning, describing it as “crazy”.
Finally, Tinie Tempah will be providing the music on The Graham Norton Show tonight. The rapper will perform his current single, Energy, live in the studio.
He’ll also be talking about his career break, which saw him experience “real life”, and about being a guest judge on the new series of Dragons’ Den.
What time is The Graham Norton Show on tonight?
Each week, Graham slots routinely into the same 10.40pm schedule. But not tonight!
This evening’s episode of The Graham Norton Show (Friday, January 23, 2026) is on at a much later time.
In a shock to the system, the show will start at 11.15pm on both BBC One and BBC iPlayer. It doesn’t then finish until 12.05am.
Coffee and matchsticks, assemble!
