What are your comments about this ghastly show?
Why do the producers of these type of chat shows, seem to think they must be hosted by 'camp' presenters.
Its a wonder that the gay lobby don't take them to task over this type of portrayal of gays, it just makes them laughing stocks, that is of course if you think the likes of David Walliams, Graham Norton or Alan Carr are indeed funny.

I didn't watch the show because I find David Walliams humourless and creepy in equal measure, and his camp persona misses its mark by a mile.
For some reason, ITV bosses think the audience 'needs' an American 'late show' format - heaven knows why, but they do.
So they go for a mish-mash of 'chat' and 'comedy' with a level of guests that will only emphasise the calibre of attendees Graham Norton gets once week, diluted by sheer numbers over here.
It's another of those London-centric Tristram-fests that have 'failure' written on them before they hit the screen.

I don't mind Walliams and occasionally find him funny. Not last night, though. Watched it for about 5 minutes, then gave up. Alan Carr makes my skin crawl but I used to like Graham Norton when he first appeared on the scene. Unfortunately, I believe he is now so far up himself, he is beyond retrieving. And that false laugh!!
I don't mind David Walliams in small doses but this was just wrong! I watched until the prize holiday was "fired" into the audience & that was enough for me.
I spoke with a friend late last night that hadn't seen it, telling them they'd missed nothing IMO, that I thought ITV had been aiming for something fast-paced along the lines of such shows in the US & what they got was a presenter who was woefully unable to deliver his lines in the speedy fashion required.
It all felt very flat & unfunny & one can only hope that if ITV persist with the idea that they're able to persuade someone with the requisite ability to front it. Heigh-ho, we shall see...

I have tired to watch this on my oficec PC, and it freezes after about a minute, which actualy may not be a bad thing.
Walliams' opening joke was a dodgy reference to his 'relationship' with Simon Cowell which pre-supposes that the audience all adore him on the X Factor, and will understand what he means.
If that is the level of humour and entertainment - and I strongly suspect they may have hit the ground running with their best gag first (!) - then it doesn't encourage me to switch on when I get home.

I do think it was ill-judged to put it in the 10:00 slot & don't think I'll be tuning in again, at least for this week.
