1. The style of the interview Is light hearted because of how its set up and how simple
the guest all come on at the same time instead of individually, which lets all the guest
talk amongst each other which makes the show friendly and everyone gets a chance
to ask a question making it more like a conversation than an interview each guest
comes on promoting something, the guest come on together and sit down whilst
graham Norton would introduce them, he will then get straight into it he will ask one
of the guests a question involving what the person is promoting, he then will let them
go on to explain what it is and give the details of it out like dates or the release etc.
Graham will then go on to the next guest and ask them something similar then to go
on to something different for example he asks Tom Hanks how he’s finding England
and lets him talk which most of the time would end in a joke, he lets the other guest
get involved when asking one guest a question he will involve another which sparks
a conversation between them making it more entertaining to the audience, He also
does a lot of complimenting and brings a lot of attention to them and what they’ve
accomplished like in this interview he brings up the fact that Tom Hanks has a lot of
success and massive films out and how much he’s made putting all of his films he’s
ever been in together and telling him the total amount of money that they have made
causing the audience to cheer for him and using the words like amazing and then
turning into a question about other films he’s been in not just the one he’s promoting
at the time this gives graham a chance to get more information out of him, he also
brings up merchandise like figures of them that have been released but instead of
just bringing one out he has a one for them all which again involves everyone in
interview, he mentions a woody doll that they have out and starts a conversation
about who does the voice to it which graham mentions that before the show
backstage they were having a debate about who does the voice and then they had to
search it, so to confirm what they had found out he uses this opportunity to ask tom
hanks who actually does the voice to the doll again finding more information about
him which doesn’t involve the film he’s promoting at the time of the interview,
because there is more than one guest he has to make everyone feel involved so
when he asks one guest a question he’ll then ask another guest a similar question
which again starts another conversation between the two this is entertaining for the
audience because they get to see their favourite celebrities talking and joking with
one another, with Graham Norton’s show he has a mix of guests with different ages
like for example Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Hanks completely different people Tom
Hanks is a mega famous actor with awards and hundreds of films out and Nicole is a
singer with albums and awards the audience find this entertaining to see such
different celebrities mix and see one get excited over the other this makes the
audience relate when they get excited over someone it’s fun to see a celebrity get
star struck over another celebrity, the questions asked aren’t just at one person
when Tom Hanks came on Graham asked where he’d just been and then went
straight to Nicole Scherzinger asking her what’s happening letting her explain in
detail what she knows he then lets Simon Pegg speak about what Nicole was talking
about just like they are all sat together having a chat instead of grilling questions he
also asks Tom Hanks two questions in one saying have you been spending a lot of
2. time here? Do you live here now? He then can get two answers In one. Because he
doesn’t always direct one question at one person he gives everyone a chance to
speak making sure everyone is involved. The journalistic context is television and the
purpose of the interview is informational and presents information.
