Host the Week (2017)

EndedVariety show

Recorded the night before broadcast, Host the Week features a different celebrity "Host" in each episode. The host won't have a rehearsal, won't have a script and won't have any idea of what's coming next. Everything is a complete surprise!

It could be the news, a chat show, or even a game show. There may even be the odd cameo from some familiar faces…
