Production

In October 2016, it was announced that Channel 4 had commissioned a new pre-watershed show titled Alan Carr: Happy Hour,[1] a spin-off to Alan Carr: Chatty Man, which was cancelled on 9 October 2016 due to low ratings battled against BBC One's The Graham Norton Show, which got higher ratings. Happy Hour will be similar to Chatty Man, however there will be no interviews with celebrities and there will be no alcohol, as Channel 4 want to attract a younger audience. There will also be audience surprises and games.

The show will air on Fridays at 8pm on Channel 4.
