Susan Calman has decided that in these unprecedented times we all need a bit of cheering up! Stuck at home, she has decided to make a television show from the bottom of her garden. In a bid to get all the Scottish creatives busy again she will be inviting a host of comedians, actors and musicians to join her remotely through the medium of technology to cheer up the nation.
The Late Show is an American late-night talk show and the first series broadcast on the then-new Fox Network. Originally hosted by comic actress Joan Rivers, it first aired on October 9, 1986 under the title The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers. It is also the first and only other late-night show hosted by Arsenio Hall.
Friday Night, Saturday Morning was a television chat show with a revolving guest host. It ran on BBC2 from 28 September 1979 to 2 April 1982, broadcast live from the Greenwood Theatre, a part of Guy's Hospital. It was most notable for being the only television show to be hosted by a former British Prime Minister and for an argument about the blasphemy claims surrounding the movie Monty Python's Life of Brian.
The programme was the idea of Iain Johnstone and Will Wyatt, who insisted on a changing presenter every fortnight. Another innovation was that the presenters chose the guests they were to interview.
