Alan Carr: Chatty Man (also simply known as Chatty Man) is an award-winning[1] British comedy chat show presented by comedian Alan Carr. The show features interviews with celebrity guests, sketches, topical chat and music.
The show was first on as a pilot in late May 2009, the show proved popular with the public and was commissioned for a series. The first episode drew in a total of 2.15 million viewers. To date, the show has rebroadcast 7 series and 55 episodes. Carr has signed a new deal worth £4 million, which will keep the show on air to 2014, spanning another four more series.[2]

Filming
A structural difference from other British chat shows is that while the guests for each episode of Chatty Man all tape on the same day, there is no on screen interaction between the guests. A guest will be introduced and be interviewed, and then they are gone when the next guest comes out. An advantage to this taping process is the fact that Carr is able to pretape 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 pretaped interviews (as well as a musical performance) taped earlier in that particular series' run, thus eliminating one tape date.
Issues
An interview with Marilyn Manson was recorded in mid 2009, however, due to Manson's drunkenness, plans to air the interview were scrapped.[3]
Lily Allen was slated to appear on the show for an interview and to perform with Professor Green, but she ended up pulling out at the last minute for medical reasons, along with Green. Due to this being her second time pulling out of Chatty Man, Alan Carr publicly berated her on the Web.[4]
