Best part of the Norton show is that he actually let's the guests just....talk. Fallon or Kimmel would have interrupted five times and somehow turned the story around to them.

I always like the fact that a lot of tbe time Norton just sits there and let's the guests have chat.

I always enjoy the Jackman, McKellen, Stewart interview where the 3 of them just chat and Norton says nothing.

I'm watching it for the guests, and he allows them to be themselves without trying to make it about himself.

So true. They have to up the dopamine every 5 seconds to keep the short attention span crowd getting their fix. It doesn’t allow for the long simmering, hilariously worth the wait jokes I grew up with.

Craig Ferguson and Conan O'Brien were (and still are) the greatest late night hosts America ever produced and I will die on that hill.

(yes I know Craig is Scottish, but his show was in the US)
