“Everyone thought she could pull it off because she’s smart and funny, but a chat show with multiple guests is very difficult to handle,” the Telegraph’s arts and entertainment editor, Anita Singh, tells BBC News.”You have to marshall the conversation, give each guest equal time, help them to plug whatever they’re plugging, then cue in whatever anecdote they’ve agreed beforehand with the researchers. Graham Norton makes that look deceptively easy.”She adds: “I think if Claudia had done a couple more series she would have become better at it.
