John Bishop to host his own chat show
John Bishop is to host his own chat show.
The stand-up has landed a ten-part series with the W channel, formerly Watch, to air later this year.
The broadcaster says the programmes will ‘cast the comedian in a whole new light’ and adds: ‘Each week, John will be joined by a household name to discover the person behind the public persona in a series of intimate and revealing one-on-one interviews.’
John Bishop: In Conversation With… will be produced by Bishop’s own Lola Entertainment.
W – which is aimed at women in their thirties – also today announced a new reality show, I’ve Got Something To Tell You, fronted by Amanda Holden, in which ordinary people make confessions to friends, partners and relatives in front to the camera.
UKTV’s director of commissioning, Richard Watsham said the shows should ‘start to create a coherent and consistent tone of voice for W’s smart female audience’.
