The Friday Night Project? - TV Programmes

paul_hadley · 24-01-2005, 01:56

Been seeing little 10-15 second teasers on Channel 4 and E4 advert breaks for this. What is it? Does anyone know?

fanoftv2 · 24-01-2005, 02:51

Yep...

'The Friday Night Project is a fab new show for Channel 4.

It's a one hour big studio comedy entertainment series starring the award winning Jimmy Carr and special celebrity guests. He will also be joined in the studio by a guest host everyweek.

This fantastic show is packed full of funny games and strands mostly inspired by the presence of the guest host.'

What I can get from that and the little tags is that Jimmy Carr will host but have guests who will guest host in a way and come up ideas and games for the programme.
Sounds fun and that way every show should be different.

paul_hadley · 24-01-2005, 02:57

Sounds not too bad, but will it be like Distraction where the (celebrity) guests have to do tasks and things, or will it be an interview show? This isn't the show produced by Chris Evans is it?

paul_hadley · 24-01-2005, 02:57

Also, where did you get that excerpt from?

motor mouth · 24-01-2005, 07:39

Oh god no more Jimmy Carr! grrrrrrrr

robhi · 24-01-2005, 09:46

It's not just Jimmy Carr, I believe there's a group of regular stand ups (I think he's just the best known) who will form the team doing the comedy bits, there'll also be a musical act on every week.....hang on a minute, team of stand ups doing sketches, a celebrity host who'll also be involved in the sketches and a musical act.....I'm sure that sounds familiar...(cough) Saturday Night Live (cough).

Isn't Jonny Vegas also involved? I'm sure he was on Richard & Judy not so long ago talking about some crazy stunts or something they have filmed already.

Hasn't Johnny Vegas got a new show coming to Channel 4, I'm not sure if it's the same, I thought it was a chat show where guests were people with nothing to plug, i.e. just on to be on, rather than to plug something or for a reason. This was being made by UMTV (chris evans company).

It could blow up in Channel 4's face if it doesn't work but it probably will go well. It might be similar to that show with Zoe Ball and Colin Murray (name?)

brooksider · 04-02-2005, 20:20

sounds good, worth a watch.

Born Sloppy. Fairly rubbish it was too, tried too hard to be trendy.

imno12u · 04-02-2005, 22:04

Poor looking start, might pick up.

imno12u · 04-02-2005, 22:13

Changed my mind, It's redeemable

Svaughan · 04-02-2005, 22:19

I think its good! I like it

cromerlad · 04-02-2005, 22:32

It ain't bad...Jones was a bit wooden during his 'monologue' but he's settling down, enjoying the 'other' male co-presenter more than Carr. Although I have to admire Jimmy for taking a 'backseat' on this one.

tonbangeratty · 04-02-2005, 22:43

It's really sh*t - I've never gone to bed before 10:30pm on a Friday night before (well I haven't gone to bed yet obviously, but the night's viewing is most definitely over!)

Gotta agree with you - it is truly appalling. Vinnie Jones is just a talentless thug who should not be given any time at all. Jimmy Carr can do a LOT better than this.

& who's the irish bird? Terrible.

mad_mental_4_digital · 04-02-2005, 23:01

This is a pile of shit! Could just be this week's choice of guests.

If they get some decent guests on it may get good. Reminds me a bit of Have I Got News For You's style of a different host each week.

"Fightstar" (or shi*estar as i affectionately hate them). There was a reason why Busted split it would seem...

cromerlad · 04-02-2005, 23:05

How the hell does 'Charlay' hope everyone to distiguish between busted and "fight"star...god help his other bandmates...
