The Nightly Show is a British late-night entertainment and chat show hosted by various presenters each week, which premiered on 27 February 2017. The show airs on ITV at 10:00 pm on Monday to Friday evenings. Each episode is taped at the Cochrane Theatre in London at 6:00 pm, every weekday, four hours before that night's episode is scheduled to air on ITV.
Before the show's premiere, non-broadcast pilot episodes were filmed in December 2016 and February 2017 to test filming equipment, audience interaction and the show's set design.
The main purpose of The Nightly Show is to serve as a British response to the popularity of late-night television shows present in the United States (such as Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show, The Tonight Show, Last Week Tonight, The Late Late Show and The Daily Show).
ITV said the series would feature a "high tempo mixture of topical monologue, studio games, celebrity guests, experts and VTs (pre-recorded items)". It has been described by the British media to be a cross between Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
The episode due to air on Wednesday 22 March 2017 was cancelled due to ongoing ITV News coverage of the Westminster attack, reducing the series episode count to 39. The post-midnight repeat was replaced by a repeat of Countrywise.
On Monday 27 March 2017, ITV lost signal before going into second part of the episode. The episode finished three minutes later than usual.
