I think Live and Kicking (or maybe it was Going Live) also did a feature on NHP at some point.
Noel was generally an annual guest in the Hot Seat/Press Conference - quite an easy one to book given NHP/Saturday Roadshow would be on that night so he'd be around anyway. I think a couple of times they went down to the Great House set - I recall a gag where Andi and Noel were in a helicopter back to TV Centre and "struggling" with a link link.
I remember there was one Comic Relief or CIN (can't remember which) where they pointed out they were coming from the same studio that Noel's House Party usually came from.

Yes, I think that was the year they moved the show to Florida over CIN weekend. And the less said about that the better.

Yes, you could usually set your watch by his appearances. He presumably still had a load of mates on the production team too.
I imagine many of the people who worked on Swap Shop were still there through the days of Going Live and Live & Kicking. A lot of the behind the scenes people on these shows stayed the same for years.
Just discovered this video on YouTube. It's a show Noel did in the USA back in 1986. Only lasted a week.

So this is the late late breakfast show us style, I wonder why it was never picked up after its test run?
The jokes at 6mins are pretty clear, the people were told to be laugh no matter what, the reason I know that is because noel pronounced Carnegie hall in the UK style.
Then Noel tried to recreate his 1986 US show about 11 years later at the Ed Sullivan Theater with his NYC House Party ... featuring the likes of William Shatner and David Hasselhoff! Which wasn't as well received as It could've been!
