The Nightly Show panned AGAIN by viewers as new presenter John Bishop performs in drag after promising Madonna performance
ITV have continued to come underfire for The Nightly Show - after John Bishop failed to win back viewers.
The late night chat show - which was presented last week by David Walliams - has been panned by the audience at home for its "dated" jokes.
It didn't fare too much better at the start of John Bishop's run on The Nightly Show on Monday, even though it aired immediately after the latest instalment of smash-hit Broadchurch.
From the start of the show, John teased that Madonna would be on the show, only for him to emerge in drag in a parody video of 80s hit Vogue.
He also only had one guest - Roger Daltrey from The Who, and viewers criticised him for talking over him in the awkward interview.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "I see #TheNightlyShow with John Bishop went down as well as it did with David Walliams! #PleaseMakeItStop"
Another agreed and added: "not since Eldorado has a TV channel got it so wrong with a show. Absolutely shockingly bad #thenightlyshow"
One fan thought that the channel had alterior motives and wrote: "Itv wants the nation In bed early. That's the hidden agenda behind #thenightlyshow"
While another said: "WTAF. Just cancel it. It's dated, not in the least bit funny, and not even vaguely connected to the news. Please GO!!!"
“Everyone has their fingers crossed.”
They added: “The producers are talking to Mel and Sue about taking part in the show, and they are desperately hoping they will pull it off as the feeling is that they can turn this around.”
- The Nightly Show airs weeknights at 10pm on ITV1.
