Norton began his career on the BBC in 2001 when he hosted [[Comic Relief]] 2001.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=8 March 2001 |title=Graham Norton – BBC One London – 16 March 2001 – BBC Genome |url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/e3af602ce24a45358c394a78118abe30 |journal=Radio Times |publisher=BBC |issue=4019 |page=112 |access-date=20 February 2021}}</ref>

In 2005, Norton moved to the [[BBC]] and began hosting the Saturday evening reality TV series ''[[Strictly Dance Fever]]'' on [[BBC One]], as well as a new comedy chat show, ''[[Graham Norton's Bigger Picture]]''. He also read stories some nights on the BBC children's channel [[CBeebies]] as part of ''Bedtime Hour''.

In 2006, Norton hosted the BBC One series ''[[How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria?]]'' in which [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] tried to find a lead actress for his West End version of ''[[The Sound of Music]]''. Norton subsequently presented the three follow-up series: ''[[Any Dream Will Do (TV series)|Any Dream Will Do]]'' in 2007, in which a group of men competed to win the role of Joseph in the West End production of ''[[Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat]]''; ''[[I'd Do Anything (BBC TV series)|I'd Do Anything]]'' in 2008, in which Lloyd Webber seeks to find the parts of Nancy and Oliver for [[Sir Cameron Mackintosh]]'s production of [[Lionel Bart]]'s ''[[Oliver!]]''; and ''[[Over the Rainbow (2010 TV series)|Over the Rainbow]]'' in 2010, following a similar format to find a new [[Dorothy Gale|Dorothy]] for a ''[[Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|Wizard of Oz]]'' West End production.

Norton hosted various other shows for the BBC during this time, including ''[[When Will I Be Famous? (TV series)|When Will I Be Famous?]]'' (2007),  ''[[The One and Only (British TV series)|The One and Only]]'' (2008) and ''[[Totally Saturday]]'' (2009). Since 2007, Norton has also been a regular host of [[British Academy Television Awards|The British Academy Television Awards]]. On 7 July 2007, Norton presented at [[Live Earth]] and undertook a trip to [[Ethiopia]] with the [[Born Free Foundation]] to highlight the plight of the [[Ethiopian wolf]] – the rarest canid in the world. In the same year, he was the subject of an episode of the BBC1 genealogy documentary ''Who Do You Think You Are?''

Norton's chat show, ''[[The Graham Norton Show]]'', began on 22 February 2007, on [[BBC Two]]. The format is very similar to his previous Channel 4 shows. On 6 October 2009, the show moved to BBC One, in a new one-hour format.

In May 2010, Norton stood in for [[Chris Evans (presenter)|Chris Evans]]' breakfast show on [[BBC Radio 2]]. Later that month, it was confirmed that he would be replacing [[Jonathan Ross]]'s Saturday morning slot on the same station.

In December 2011, the panel show ''[[Would You Rather...? with Graham Norton]]'' premiered on [[BBC America]] in the time slot immediately following ''The Graham Norton Show''. Recorded in New York, it is one of BBC America's earliest efforts at producing original programming, and is also the first [[panel game]] the channel has shown, either of British or American origin.

In October 2018, talking to BBC News about his reported 2017–18 BBC salary, Norton said that he genuinely "doesn't know" how the corporation arrived at that figure.  "Myself and my agent look at that number and we go 'I wonder how they came up with that'," he says.  "It bears no relation to anything I know. But if that's what they say I earn, that's what I earn."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Graham Norton: My career could've gone a very different way |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44845590 |access-date=13 October 2018 |work=BBC News}}</ref>

In February 2019, it was announced that Norton would be a judge on ''RuPaul's Drag Race UK'' alongside [[Alan Carr]] in a rotating basis. Norton and Carr were joined by permanent judges [[Michelle Visage]] and [[RuPaul]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=14 February 2019 |title=Norton and Carr to judge RuPaul's Drag Race |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47241308 |work=BBC News}}</ref>

====Radio====
Since 1999, Norton has appeared regularly on the BBC Radio 4 panel show ''[[Just a Minute]]'', appearing in over 100 episodes.

On 2 October 2010, Norton began presenting a Saturday morning show on [[BBC Radio 2]], which he took over from [[Jonathan Ross]]. Norton co-hosted with [[Maria McErlane]] who featured as an "[[agony aunt]]" on the segment "Grill Graham". "Tune with a Tale" is where a listener suggests playing a song with a plot, summarising the story it contains, and "[[I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!|I Can't Believe It's Not Better]]" is a feature where a listener requests a song that was previously a hit, but might be considered particularly bad now. Unlike ''[[Steve Wright in the Afternoon]]'' aired from 14:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, it is well established as being a "brand", with its end of each hour style of presentations, although Norton regularly uses the standard BBC Radio 2 jingles along with jingles unique to the Saturday morning show, written and performed by the BBC Radio 2 Orchestra.

In January 2012, Norton asked listeners to his Radio 2 show to help find his car, shortly after it was stolen.  He called it "The Great Car Hunt" and told listeners to
"Keep your eyes out for it. It was filthy by the way."<ref>{{Cite news |date=10 January 2012 |title=Norton's radio hunt for his stolen car |url=http://www.rte.ie/ten/news/2012/0110/434785-nortong/ |access-date=1 August 2015 |publisher=[[Raidió Teilifís Éireann]]}}</ref>

On 11 November 2020, Norton announced that he would step down from the show and hosted his final Saturday morning show on 19 December 2020, after 10 years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=West |first=Amy |date=11 November 2020 |title=Graham Norton is leaving his BBC Radio 2 show after 10 years |url=https://news.yahoo.com/graham-norton-leaving-bbc-radio-172200449.html |access-date=19 March 2022 |website=Yahoo News}}</ref> He was replaced by [[Claudia Winkleman]] from February 2021.

Norton joined [[Virgin Radio UK]] in January 2021, hosting shows on Saturday and Sunday.<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 January 2021 |title=How To Listen To Graham Norton on Virgin Radio {{!}} Virgin Radio UK |url=https://virginradio.co.uk/the-graham-norton-radio-show-with-waitrose/25320/how-listen-graham-norton-virgin-radio-210121560791 |access-date=24 February 2024 |website=virginradio.co.uk |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=16 November 2020 |title=Graham Norton joins Virgin Radio UK for weekends |url=https://radiotoday.co.uk/2020/11/16/graham-norton-joins-virgin-radio-uk-for-weekends/ |access-date=24 January 2023 |website=RadioToday}}</ref> In February 2024, Norton announced that "he wanted his weekends back" and would step away from hosting his weekend radio show for the station.<ref name=":0" />

Norton, along with [[Claudia Winkleman]], hosted the first annual [[Eurovision Dance Contest 2007|Eurovision Dance Contest]], which was held on 1 September 2007, in London, England. The format was based on the BBC's ''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]'' and the [[EBU]]'s [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. Norton and Winkleman also hosted the [[Eurovision Dance Contest 2008|2008 contest]] in Glasgow, Scotland.

In October 2008, it was confirmed by the [[BBC]] that Norton would replace [[Terry Wogan]] as the presenter of the UK national selection of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]], ''[[UK national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest|Your Country Needs You]]''.

On 5 December 2008, it was announced that Norton would also take over from Wogan as the British commentator for the main Eurovision Song Contest.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Eurovision: Norton to replace Wogan |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2008/12_december/05/eurovision.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081208090534/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2008/12_december/05/eurovision.shtml |archive-date=8 December 2008 |access-date=16 May 2009 |work=BBC Press Release |publisher=BBC}}</ref> The [[Eurovision Song Contest 2009|54th Eurovision Song Contest]] was held in the [[Olympic Stadium (Moscow)|Olympic Arena]], Moscow on 16 May 2009.

In January 2009, Norton hosted ''[[Eurovision: Your Country Needs You]]'', a talent show to find who would represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest that year. The winning song, [[It's My Time (Jade Ewen song)|It's My Time]], was penned by [[Diane Warren]] and [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] and was sung in the contest by [[Jade Ewen]], who the public voted to represent the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eurovision Your Country Needs You [03/01/2009] (2009) |url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b8d215839 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230511194403/https://www2.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b8d215839 |archive-date=11 May 2023 |accessdate=11 May 2021 |work=British Film Institute}}</ref>

Norton's debut jokes received some positive reviews from the British press. ''[[The Guardian]]'' noted his comments on [[Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009|Iceland]]'s entry, which finished in second place, had "rooted around in a cupboard and found an old bridesmaid dress from 1987" and the [[Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009|Armenian]] singers, who finished in 10th place, were sporting traditional dress, "which would be true if you come from the village where [[Liberace]] is the mayor."<ref name="Norton's Eurovision debut reviewed">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8054164.stm "Norton's Eurovision debut reviewed"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090522195109/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8054164.stm|date=22 May 2009}}. BBC News. 17 May 2009</ref> ''[[The Times]]'' noted his highlighting of the arrest of 30 gay rights protesters in Moscow – "heavy-handed policing has really marred what has been a fantastic Eurovision."<ref name="Norton's Eurovision debut reviewed" />

In 2015, Norton, along with [[Petra Mede]], hosted the ''[[Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits]]'' concert show on 31 March at the [[Eventim Apollo]], in [[Hammersmith]], London to commemorate the contest's 60th anniversary.

Norton played a fictionalised version of himself in his role of the British Eurovision commentator in the 2020 [[Netflix]] film ''[[Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 June 2020 |title=Rachel McAdams gives verdict on Graham Norton's performance in Netflix's Eurovision film |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/eurovision-film-rachel-mcadams-graham-norton-will-ferrell-story-fire-saga-a9582611.html |work=The Independent}}</ref>

Norton co-hosted the final of the {{Escyr|2023|3=2023 contest}} in [[Liverpool]] alongside [[Alesha Dixon]], actress [[Hannah Waddingham]] and Ukrainian singer [[Julia Sanina]], in addition to his usual commentary role which was shared with [[Mel Giedroyc]].<ref>{{cite web |date=22 February 2023 |title=Meet our Eurovision 2023 family! |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/eurovision/entries/6f2e0053-e405-4548-b330-e1741d2c9198 |access-date=22 February 2023 |publisher=BBC }}</ref> With this, he also became the second-oldest person to ever host the Eurovision Song Contest, after the French presenter [[Léon Zitrone]] in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1978|1978]].
