Just want to congratulate Graham Norton for stealing the show and being a brilliant host for Eurovision. Way better than the other 3 hosts during the semi finals.

  1. He was excellent as always, but Hannah Waddingham was the breakout star for me and my fellow Eurovision nerds. He didn’t actually spend that much time on stage (which, to be fair was because he was doing double duty in the commentary box), while she did both semi finals earlier in the week and this was only her second hosting gig ever.

  10. I think I have a girl crush on Hannah. She was phenomenal, so was Graham. UK did an amazing job hosting, from the postcards to interval acts.

  12. “Here is the public vote for Finland.. We know you like Finland!”…

    Takes some professionalism to put up with the jury’s charade.

  14. Bad take I feel. Graham was very good, and according to some British friends, much better hosting then commentating. I cannot say whether or not that’s true as I only ever watch the RTÉ coverage. But I did really enjoy him hosting.

    However, I thought Hannah Waddingham was the real star of the night. Really enjoyed her enthusiasm and energy. If I had 12 points they’d go to her. Reckon 12 pints would do?

  19. She was great. When the UK public vote came in and the boos started she calmed the mood with her “all friends, all friends” like a barmaid in some dodgy english pub.

  23. I thought he was brutal, he just stared dead eyed at the camera whenever the other hosts were speaking

  26. Weird take. If anything he seemed to be a bit awkward when hosting. I think he was struggling with having to be unbiased and a bit more serious hosting and not getting to throw out a few fun comments. Definitely got the vibe he preferred being in the commenting box.

    I’d say your one Hannah stole the show if anything.

  30. Graham was great, but Hannah Waddingham is a certified badass. She’s been a star of stage and screen for over 20 years, she hosted the shit out of the Olivier awards a couple of months back, and is only just getting the recognition she deserves. She had the most stage presence of any host during the event.

  35. I just want to add Mel was fantastic with the commentation when Graham was called on-stage. I actually thought Hannah, Mel and Graham all killed it.

  40. This has the same vibe as when people on here say Wild Youth had one of the best songs.

    I love Graham but he did almost nothing compared to the other three who did an amazing job all week.

  41. I thought all the hosts did really well.

    The chemistry between Hannah and Julia was great and Hannah herself was an excellent host to the point if it was JUST her on stage it still would have been excellent.

    I agree probably could have done without Alesha but she brought her own charm to the green room parts.
