Alan Carr: Chatty Man

A structural difference from other British chat shows is that, while the guests for each episode of Chatty Man all film on the same day, there is rarely any on-screen interaction between the guests. A guest will be introduced and be interviewed and then they are almost always gone when the next guest comes out. An advantage to this process is that Carr is able to pre-tape interviews with certain guests. If a particular guest is unavailable to be interviewed on the chosen week, an interview can be pre-taped and slotted in during the next week's editing. Often, at the end of a series, the final episode can be made up of three pre-taped interviews (as well as a musical performance) filmed earlier in that particular series' run, thus eliminating one tape date. However, in the later series, all guests returned to the sofa during the final part of the programme. Issues An interview with Marilyn Manson was recorded in mid-2009, however, due to Manson's drunkenness, plans to air the interview were scrapped. == Cancellation ==
