EPISODE SYNOPSIS: Graham welcomes Lynda and they talk about the Wonder Woman audition, the cold reading for the part which she didn’t had to do because the producers had seen a test she has done for some other thing. Lynda thinks she got the part because of her looks. Graham ask her if it was true that she moved furniture with her sister when they were children. As they see some of the weirdest internet sites, Graham Norton talks about the appeal of Wonder Woman to gay people. Later they call a Wonder Woman impersonator in Oklahoma and Lynda talks to him. Graham presents Hetty, a doggie Wonder Woman. After that Graham introduces Leslie Nielsen, who’s “more popular than Mother Theresa”. Then some people of the audience see themselves as wacko superheroes.

VIDEO: [1] "SO GRAHAM NORTON". Video clip. TRIVIA:
[•] Since 1998 Graham Norton has interviewed top stars such as Ursula Andress, Grace Jones, Billy Zane, Ivana Trump, Grace Jones, Kate O'Mara, Roy Scheider, Twiggy, Roger Moore, Lee Majors, Glenda Jackson, Carrie Fisher, Joan Rivers, Boy George, Catherine Deneuve, Bea Arthur, Stephanie Power, Naomi Campbell, Lauren Bacall, Patrick Duffy, Richard Chamberlain, Jane Seymour, Sarah Brightman, Lindsay Wagner, Sophia Loren, Dollie Parton, William Shatner, Ricki Lake, Christopher Lambert, Elton John, Jacqueline Bisset, Lynn Redgrave, and, most famous of all, Joan Collins, who have all taken the saucy style of interview (with slots such as "Celebrity Swearing" and "Audience Confessions") in their stride, with only slightly red faces.
[•] The most famous of the segments on the show was the "phoning up" part, where Graham has celebrity interviewees phone porn/chat lines or pizza takeaways, encouraging them to ask the unsuspecting person on the other end of the line as rude questions as possible. The most successful of these has been the "Miles O'Keeffe" ritual humiliation, which has now become a regular slot each week on the show. Graham now insists on telephoning, live, "Tarzan, the Ape-Man" actor (with Bo Derek) every week! Have fun, and don't be too offended!
[•] Graham Norton's real name is Graham Walker.
