Viewers React to The Claudia Winkleman Show 'Replacing' BBC's Graham Norton Show
Claudia Winkleman's new BBC One chat show drew mixed feedback for awkward moments and unusual guests despite her strong TV reputation, with fans divided on its appeal.
- The Claudia Winkleman Show debuted on BBC One at 10.40pm on Saturday, featuring guests including Jeff Goldblum, sparking immediate social media reactions.
- Following her departure from Strictly Come Dancing, Claudia Winkleman launched her show produced by the makers of The Graham Norton Show, prompting comparisons to Graham Norton.
- A five-minute on-air conversation about breakfast highlighted the episode’s odd turns, with Ian McKellen making eggs and parts of the show dominated by private chats, as Claudia Winkleman smiled through it all.
- Early reactions to the debut were mixed, with some viewers on X saying 'I’m enjoying this but the “well conveniently we have a person who is an expert in the thing you randomly brought up” is a bit much… #TheClaudiaWinklemanShow' and critics arguing it lacked the warmth Graham Norton cultivated over 18 years.
- With well-known guests lined up next week, the series will remain a live test of BBC late-night tastes, as Winkleman shifts from Strictly into prime-time chat.
