So Graham Norton is shit because it's just someone talking to a celebrity
But spending ten minutes labouring that point is the height of intellectual comedy?
He can very occasionally be funny, but he's just a smug unfunny cunt the rest of the time.
There. I said it.

I like him, but that's not necessarily the same thing as finding him funny
but here I just think he's impersonating someone who doesn't think the Graham Norton show is Bafta worthy and I think he's very good at it (just as Graham is good at what he does)

I prefer Graham Norton to any US hosts and their smug, non-interviewing.

He hates Graham Norton because Norton doesn't talk about STEWART LEE
Who is our saviour and fount of wisdom and OOH there's a camera, let me play to it!

You think he's being completely sincere do you?
The joke isn't about graham norton, it's about an entitled fat middle aged man being a twat. He's playing a character. Comedy characters tend not to be well rounded likable people because those sorts of people aren't very funny. Do you watch peep show and think "That jeremy must be a nightmare to live with. Why do people watch this tripe?"

^this
most of Stewart's act consists of brilliant impersonations of bitterness

Jokes that need this much explanation typically aren't that funny.
Unless the purpose is to prove how the audience isn't as learned/hip/cool/informed as he is.
zzzzzzzzzzz

So he's playing a sit-com character as a standup act?
At least Jeremy does funny things and says funny stuff.
I completely agree that comedy characters can (and possibly even should) have their flaws, but counter to that, they have some sort of charm or redeeming quality.
I could imagine having an amusing conversation with Jeremy in a pub. It might be awkward, it might make me feel uncomfortable, but it would be interesting and at least in hindsight, amusing.
I could also imagine being at a boring middle class dinner party and getting stuck next to Lee's 'character' and having to drink as much wine as possible until it was polite to suggest that I had to go home to let the dog out for a piss.
