I thought 'Host the week' made the 'Nightly Show' seem like an intellectual powerhouse in comparison.

Host the Week has already been canned, apparently.

Hardly #bornrisky if they're chickening out that early. Would surely have been worth giving it an outing with Jack Whitehall and although ratings weren't great it wasn't that bad, and giving new talent a platform, even if it's a platform to flop, is something C4 should absolutely be doing.

Let's just say if they had have gone ahead with this week's episode there wouldn't have been anyone hosting it.

Now that would be an innovative format.

I only saw a tiny bit of the beginning,was it that bad or would it have done better if they had a popular celebrity or performer as guest presenter? I've no idea who she is

She's from Gogglebox. She's done bits on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway which I thought she was reasonably good at. She's not what you'd call edgy, though.

Probably the stand out star of Gogglebox and won I'm A Celeb. People like her.

The trouble with this format is from the bit I could stand to watch is it's The Friday Night Project without the structure of that show.

Yeah as I say the first episode of something like that needs a big name to launch it. If it has an element of improv someone comedic or an actor

For a Channel 4 name, Scarlett Moffatt isn't alternative or edgy enough. Rachel Riley is more edgy than her.
