Nightly Show's a sign British TV isn't funny anymore

The solution? Spend more and more money (it's there) on comedy writers and producers because that's where it starts, and let them create what they want. Otherwise, TV comedy of all kinds in the UK will continue to suffer a very slow and painful death.

TV Review: The Nightly Show with John Bishop

There was only really one big car crash moment and that was his promise of an appearance from Madonna, which actually turned out to be him doing an overlong, dated parody of Madge's Vogue video.

The Nightly Show with John Bishop: an unholy mess

Not even a Bishop could save this unholy mess. The Nightly Show entered its second week with a new host but the same old problems.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 6th March 2017

This new daily entertainment show, which features comedy, video clips and studio guests, has been preceded by a trailer of absurdly exaggerated camp starring opening host David Walliams. This snippet - which climaxes in Walliams being served champagne by a buff, half-naked waiter on rollerblades - probably sets the tone for a show that's unlikely to be understated. Future hosts include John Bishop and Gordon Ramsay.

Preview - The Nightly Show

This week ITV is bringing back some hit shows and starting some new ones. One of these new editions is quite a big one, seeing as how it has taken over the place previously held by News at Ten.
