Review: The Michael Mcintyre Chat Show, BBC One
In some ways this may be the simplest review I've ever written. If you like Michael McIntyre you'll like TMMCS. If you don't you won't.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 11th March 2014Can Michael McIntyre join the chatshow greats?
Michael McIntyre made his chatshow debut on BBC One last night, scampering around and breaking the fourth wall - but he still respected the golden rules of presenting. So what makes a truly great host?
Julia Raeside, The Guardian, 11th March 2014The Michael McIntyre Chat Show needs tweaking
Michael McIntyre, like Alan Carr, comes from the world of stand-up comedy, but his style couldn't be more different. He isn't edgy or acerbic. He's jolly, charming and very middle-class, which has proven to be a winning combination for his comedy tours. However, I'm less sure those strengths equals a brilliant chat show host.
Dan Owen, MSN Entertainment, 11th March 2014The Michael McIntyre Chat Show review
If you were making a generic chat show spoof, you'd probably come up with The Michael McIntyre Chat Show. Bland, slick and more about the host than gaining insights into the guests.
Alex Fletcher and Tom Mansell, Digital Spy, 11th March 2014Review: The Michael McIntyre Chat Show
The fact that we had nearly 15 minutes of McIntyre's solo warm-up made it quite clear that the guests were of strictly secondary importance, and their carefully rationed slots ensured that their 'chat' consisted of little more than agreeing with the host that they were indeed marvellous.
Adam Sweeting, The Spectator, 11th March 2014The Michael McIntyre Chat Show review
This show was trailed by a BBC announcer saying, "Stepping into the shoes of the chat-show greats..." but on the evidence of this first outing Michael McIntyre is good at being chirpy and making slurping noises, but not much else.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 11th March 2014Is Michael McIntyre next big name in chat show hosts?
McIntyre is the latest stand-up comedian to host a chat show - does he know what he's letting himself in for...
Stephen Armstrong, Radio Times, 10th March 2014The Michael McIntyre Chat Show review
With its Ronseal title, the format of The Michael McIntyre Chat Show doesn't need much explaining. It might, however, need some tweaking because this debut edition didn't quite get the balance right.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 10th March 2014Michael McIntyre and his 'lookalikes'
Michael McIntyre reckons he passes for Bond star Pierce Brosnan "with a mouth full of sweets" - but Pierce isn't his only famous lookalike... apparently.
Rob Leigh, The Mirror, 10th March 2014Miranda Hart review
Her strength is primarily her inelegant physicality - she skips, lollops and childishly gallops across the stage more, even, than Michael McIntyre, with whom she shares a fair few delivery traits.
