The 11 O'Clock Show
The 11 O'Clock Show was a satirical late-night British television comedy series on Channel 4 which featured topical sketches and commentary on news items. It ran between 30 September 1998 and 8 December 2000, most notably hosted by Iain Lee and Daisy Donovan. The show boosted the careers of the previously little-known Ricky Gervais, Sacha Baron Cohen (in character as Ali G), Jimmy Carr, and Mackenzie Crook.
The 11 O'Clock Show underwent a number of line-up changes during its run. There are numerous cases of external-segment reporters becoming studio hosts, and vice versa. Notable presenters and cast members included:
The 11 O'Clock Show was written, recorded and transmitted on the same day, similar to The Daily Show (1996).
James Bobin was a director and writer and helped create the characters of Ali G, Borat and Brüno.
"Ali G was the thing that kept the 11 O'Clock Show going. If we hadn't of had Ali G, the 11 O'Clock Show would have died." - Iain Lee
MacKenzie Crook joined the show in Series 2.
Ricky Gervais (54 episodes) joined The 11 O’Clock Show team for Series 3 replacing Sacha Baron Cohen (45 episodes).
Charlie Brooker was a writer.
