The Nightly Show [Weeknights on ITV]

[zakman440]

ITV is making a multi-million pound move into late-night comedy with a stripped show that it hopes can replicate the success of The Late Late Show with James Corden.

The commercial broadcaster has ordered a nightly series to be produced by Andrew O’Connor’s ITV-owned production group Cats on the Roof Media and exec produced by former Strictly Come Dancing and Top Gear boss Katie Taylor.

The currently untitled show is believed to have been handed an order of around 40 episodes and will be stripped throughout the week across a two month period. It will launch in the new year.

It is understood that the show will have revolving celebrity hosts.

Pre-production has started with producers currently developing a range of format points. It’s believed that the ambition is to develop a number of segments that can air on the linear show and also be shared virally, in the same way that Corden’s Carpool Karaoke and Drop The Mic strands are widely shared online.

ITV is still exploring plans for which slot to hand the show.

Initially lined up as an event series rather than an ongoing commission, it is thought to be the project which has caused director of television Kevin Lygo to weigh up moving the ITV News at Ten.

However, the broadcaster is also examining whether to air the show in a post-news 10.30pm slot.

It will be Lygo’s most ambitious order to date, after he replaced Peter Fincham as director of television in January.

It wont work without a sole host tbh - over in America the hosts are a huge part of the success, not to mention the fact that Rylan's chat show with the same objective kind-of flopped.

[Marsh.]

It's a good idea but it'll be spoiled by lazy ideas and bookings.

It'll be Mark Wright one night, Joe Swash the next etc etc. Flop.

[LaLaLand]

Needs a sole, set host.

Mind you, Remember The Friday Night Project? That was fun and worked well. Justin Lee-Collins and Alan Carr were the mainstays then every week they had different celebs presenting.

Miss that show actually.

Yes, we are missing a show like that again.

[T*]

I smell another flop

[MB.]

Because ITV have such a great history with comedy shows

Have you seen that hilarious show 'Newzoids'?? Of course they have a great history :)))))))))))))))))))))

[Black Dagger]

Excuse you. Peak Benidorm was wonderful.

[Marsh.]

Because ITV have such a great history with comedy shows

Are you kidding??? Coronation Street is HILARIOUS with its attempts at drama.

[zakman440]

The titles been confirmed as "The Nightly Show", with David Walliams as the first guest host:

801885022286450689

[Ashley.]

They've had two months to think of a title for the nightly show, and they settled for The Nightly Show. :suspect:

[Shaun]

Hmm... not enthusiastic about this. Walliams is a lot better than who I'd have imagined they'd give it to but still far too annoying and one-note.

[Denver]

Why not call it The Late Late Show like the US and Ireland

[Firewire]

Starts 27th Feb at 10pm

[Alf]

Starts 27th Feb at 10pmThat's a great date. Somebody very special was born on that date. And I don't mean Elizabeth Taylor.

[Alf]

Because ITV have such a great history with comedy showsThere was Rising Damp, which is still ITV's greatest ever comedy. But you are right, it doesn't have the best track record.

[Tregard]

Was this the one based on SNL? Personally I think if there's no consistency between episodes it'll fall very flat, there needs to be some static parts, a la Friday Night Project

[Denver]

It is effectively the Late Late Show

[Tom4784]

I don't think it'll work, It works in the US because they have permanent hosts and high profile guests.

[Daniel-X]

Won't work at all. The first few guests will be big names and by the end of the series it'll be Gino D'Acampo and Jessica Wright.

[Crimson Dynamo]

this will be a flop

[Denver]

I don't think it'll work, It works in the US because they have permanent hosts and high profile guests.

They could still get high profile guests it is just the house that is a problem

[arista]

I hope its Live


Give it
a chance Dezzy Wezzy

[arista]

this will be a flop


Depends on the Guests


Give it chance, first.

[Marsh.]

Why not just use the "Late Late" brand? Ireland do it?

[Marsh.]

Having it on every single night won't help with the quality of guests either.

Even Graham Norton struggles with one episode a week for 13 week series.

[Jack_]

I hope its Live

It won't be, which is the first mistake

Being recorded at 6pm on the day of transmission

[arista]

Yes shame that , Jack
I prefer it Live and Spunky

Thats what we will have to see

[Marsh.]

V Graham Norton will never be beaten. :love:

[Tom4784]

They could still get high profile guests it is just the house that is a problem

I doubt they will because it won't compete with Graham Norton.

[Ross.]

Starts 27th Feb at 10pm

How convenient that this starts right after Broadchurch's premiere

[Denver]

I doubt they will because it won't compete with Graham Norton.

They need to stop targeting just the film stars like GN but singers, TV stars and sports star all over who have something in the UK at that time they will love the promo

[Marsh.]

How convenient that this starts right after Broadchurch's premiere

Mess.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

this has honestly been atrocious lmao

[Denver]

Why cant they make it live and at midnight like USA

[MB.]

Firstly, the US ones aren't live either, and secondly, nobody would watch the bloody thing if it were on at midnight

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ok the dummy lady was funny :love:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

(idk how to spell ventrilloquist)

[Denver]

Firstly, the US ones aren't live either, and secondly, nobody would watch the bloody thing if it were on at midnight

Really? i always thought they were live

[MB.]

Really? i always thought they were live

The Tonight Show's filmed at 5pm each day and Jimmy Kimmel Live, despite the word "live" actually being in the title, tapes at 4pm

[Black Dagger]

You just don't have David Walliams as your face to kick off a new series like this. It's already dead. Unfunny, tedious scripts and an awkward guest, lovely.

[Rob!]

Kim would save it :love:

[Crimson Dynamo]

[arista]

[Marsh.]

nobody would watch the bloody thing if it were on at midnight

Not a BOTS tea

[Crimson Dynamo]

by Friday he will have earned £250k for this so predictable flop. someone needs sacking at ITV

[Denver]

They need a stable proper host and Davina should do it great

[Marsh.]

Davina did a talk show once before and it bombed.

[Denver]

Now she is a more mature and well known host.

Was her talk show not when she was on drugs?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

is this still going

[Marsh.]

is this still going

Me when I visit my mum in intensive care

[Marsh.]

Was her talk show not when she was on drugs?

:umm2:

She was on drugs prior to her TV career.

Her talk show was in 2007. :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i am astounded they moved the evening news for this pish

[Marsh.]

Now she is a more mature and well known host.

[Denver]

SxYc57s5FX8

Now we know why it flopped with guests like that

[Denver]

ITV are considering bumping it to a later timeslot

[Jack_]

This is actually getting better but it needs a lot of work, the problem is it's trying to be too many things at once

It's not long enough for starters, so I'd say making it 45 minutes and then moving it to 10:30 would be a good move. Keep the topical monologue at the start of the show cause that's the strongest part, then have two guests on the sofa, a stand up comedy segment at the end and also a house band. Maybe chuck in a couple of irreverent games now and then

The set is far too flashy also, it needs a homely, wooden feel with a skyline backdrop

[Jack_]

Oh and the lack of a permanent host would be a huge problem long term, but I guess they have time to work out if any of the temp ones are good enough

[Denver]

Jogn Bishop is next weeks host

[Wizard.]

John Bishop wishing he never signed up to this dire show

[Denver]

Mess at John getting better guests

He has Roger Daltrey, Pamela Anderson and Joan Collins

[Marsh.]

Oh and the lack of a permanent host would be a huge problem long term, but I guess they have time to work out if any of the temp ones are good enough
I reckon this is the intention. Blast through a load of familiar faces and see which one sticks.

[Denver]

I reckon this is the intention. Blast through a load of familiar faces and see which one sticks.

Prays Rylan is not a host

[MB.]

I'd like to see something blasted through Rylan's face, yes

[Black Dagger]

And I bet you're not talking about Dan lmao x

[Marsh.]

And I bet you're not talking about Dan lmao x
:joker:

[Rob!]

Urgh god it's only a matter of time before Rylan does this too isn't it

[Jack_]

This was actually really funny tonight

screamed @ David's sarcasm towards will.i.am and his name and then John Bishop's gift being a book on 'How To Speak English Correctly'

[arista]

Urgh god it's only a matter of time before Rylan does this too isn't it


No he is not good enough for it.
He is too needy
needing clapping all the FECKING TIME

[Denver]

Mel & Sue have pulled out of hosting and will be replaced by Bradley Walsh

[Denver]

The 1st 4 weeks will have had male hosts

Week 1 - David Walliams
Week 2 - John Bishop
Week 3 - Bradley Walsh
Week 4 - Gordon Ramsay

[Denver]

Davina is next weeks host

[arista]

Davina is next weeks host


Yes Tomorrow at 10PM
recorded at 6PM


is Davina
the one that can save this Expensive show?

[arista]

i am astounded they moved the evening news for this pish


Yes LT
a big gamble


its a 10PM slot
but not Adult Comedy Enough
so far

[Jack_]

Well I love Davina but this was one of the worst episodes so far, some really painfully awkward moments, hopefully she gets better

For what it's worth I thought John did a good job last week, I particularly enjoyed him giving his opinions and liked that they were trying to channel the John Oliver/Jon Stewart type rants. More of that, less dull guests please

[Jack_]

Also apparently Dermot's hosting next week (yay :love:) so him and Davina will be reunited again on Friday <3

[Denver]

I thought it was the best episode yet and 2 great guests

[Jack_]

Kinga still being talked about 12 years later :love:

[MB.]

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

so what is the truth

[Jack_]

I realise I'm the only person in Britain still watching this but it was the best its been production wise tonight and I was surprised

The live band really gave it some gravitas as I thought it would and should be a permanent fixture, introducing the guests (by someone as big as Redd Pepper) over the titles worked better, the backdrop finally suited the style of the show, going into the break and to the credits without cutting the music was much more professional, the 'Fake News' item is a good one but needs to be more sharply written (and more political/topical, they've cut back on this in recent weeks and its the wrong move), and Bradley approached the show as if he'd been doing it for months

For what it's worth, I thought Gordon was actually pretty funny? But Dermot (or Bradley, if he continues like this) is definitely the person they should go with in the event it gets recomissioned (which apparently isn't that unlikely). Move it to 10:30, extend it to 45 minutes, keep the band, start with a topical monologue and I think you've got a show with potential

[Denver]

Dermott is hosting again in week 8

[Mitchell]

I really enjoyed Bradley tonight.

My order has been Bradley > Davina > Gordon > David > Dermot > John

[Denver]

Bradley Walsh is getting the best ratings

[Denver]

Officially been axed

[Matthew.]

Officially been axed

for the best
