The Sun, 2nd March 2017The Nightly Show: Britain's latest crack at US-style TV
It's clearly too soon to judge the chances of The Nightly Show after only one of its declared 40 editions. But, if the first night proves representative, the show may struggle to equal, on any of its five nights, the level of star power that Graham Norton manages on his one.
Mark Lawson, The Guardian, 28th February 2017The Nightly Show did NOT go down well last night
Viewers said they'd really prefer ITV News at Ten to "car crash", "copycat" television.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 27th February 2017TV Review: The Nightly Show
ITV1's much-trailed attempt at a topical comedy and chat show five nights a week started with a plodding episode that was equal parts unoriginal and uninspiring.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th February 2017The Nightly Show review
In the intro, Walliams joked that confused viewers might think 'the News At Ten's gone a bit down-market'. Downmarket's not the issue, bland is. The Nightly Show does not feel like the mustn't-miss proposal that ITV need it to be. The gamble hasn't paid off.
