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>
