Graham Norton Names Mark Wahlberg His Worst Guest After 'Hellish' 2013 Taping

Norton shared the 2013 account at a literary festival, stressing guests who appear drunk arrive that way.

Overview

  • Speaking on Oct. 10 at the Henley Literary Festival, Norton said Wahlberg seemed fine at first but became visibly affected about 15 minutes into the show.
  • Norton recalled Wahlberg repeatedly interrupting fellow guests Sarah Silverman and Michael Fassbender before dozing off during one of Fassbender's stories.
  • The host rejected rumors that producers encourage intoxication, saying drinks are limited and any drunkenness is not orchestrated by the show.
  • Wahlberg has previously told Digital Spy the behavior was pre-planned with Silverman, offering a conflicting explanation.
  • The Graham Norton Show was recently commissioned for three more series by the BBC, with Series 34 slated for next year.
