Alan Carr is known for his comical personality and his outgoing character, the show ‘Chatty Man’ is award winning British comedy chat show and has been airing on channel 4 since May 2009; it is simply a chat show where the presenter invites famous celebrity guests to the studio and finds out the latest about them. We are likely to see the presenter present on his chat show ‘Chatty Man’ on Channel 4. On channel 4, we are presented with shows and documentaries that look at serious issues such as sexuality, racism, along with the channel’s only soap that also happen to cover these topics, it is almost as though, the channel is addressing a message to their audience that this is a channel that doesn’t judge people, therefore the show ‘Chatty Man’ is suitable for the network. In addition, because Alan Carr is openly Gay, it increases his likability scale and due to the fact that Channel 4 is very open minded about diversity, it helps enhance the presenters show to receive more viewers.
Alan Carr is very much identified as a comical character; he knows how to present in an interview where he can leave the audience entertained throughout, though we expect a lot from the presenter, it is simply because we believe he can always deliver in terms of keeping us amused.

The presenter is very giddy and excited, plus the fact that he is very feminine and speaks really camp helps his personality to shine above other presenters, it also helps the guest stars to feel a lot more confident in the room as it is very noticeable that they can be themselves around him.
The sound of the presenter’s voice is very optimistic, amusing and likeable and it almost sounds ladylike; however this is a good thing for him because it is what attracts the audience to him, it is what increases the humour in his jokes and it is what helps him gain more viewers.
The presenter doesn’t apply formal language and vocabulary, it is more or less the other way round, his words are highly informal but this is due to whom he appeals to, instead he uses slang and common words, this is also what develops the pleasurable aspects of his character. He uses slang purely to relate to his target audience, his is very much aware that his target audience are young teenagers and adult which already gives him an indication of how to engage with them, he knows that slang is very common to the people he’s aiming at, therefore his going to undertake the use of slang in order to be more relatable.
The presenter has an East Midlands accent as he is originally from Northampton and I believe he has been selected to present this show because Alan Carr is very capable of instantly amusing the audience, the way he converse and the way he acts is very comical and since the genre of the show is Comedy, Alan was definitely the right man for the job as he is very chatty and with his captivating personality, he can acquire information from any celebrity. His accent is also relatable due to whom he’s aiming at; the show targets at men and women 16-34 who are classed as C2-E on the demographic scale, therefore his accent will be suitable for this variety of audience.
The presenter is dressed very casual, he’s wearing bright blue jeans and beige shoes, he also has the top button of his t-shirt open which means he is going for a smart yet casual look and I think it’s appropriate for the type of show he’s presenting on and the issues discussed. The usual topics on the show include the celebrity’s personal life as well as their career, so really it’s a mixture of business and pleasure.
The presenter’s facial expression is very funny and charismatic, it’s also very sarcastic but sometimes when he and the guest are discussing a more serious matter, he has a different facial expression; instead he has a sympathy look on his face.
The presenter’s body language is always excited, he is very confident because he is aware of how funny and likeable he is and in the introduction stage, he used a lot of hand gestures to emphasise what he means, and straight away he was already a hit with the audience and if they were laughing, the presenter will know that so will the audience at home because some of the target audience were in the studio.
These things are very appropriate to an audience because all of the techniques he used worked incredibly well that it constantly made the studio audience laugh the whole way through We are likely to see the presenter in a studio hosting his own show, however besides ‘Chatty Man’, Alan also attends arena tours where we are able to see him perform his comedy act on stage. The presenters will appeal to men and women aged 16-34 predominantly C2-E on the demographic scale; the presenter will also appeal to strivers, experiencers, survivors and makers.
Another show we have seen Alan’s presenting skills would be on Comic Relief. In this series we witnessed Alan present in a dissimilar way to Chatty Man; this is because of the concept of the show and who it aims at. The show is about raising money for the people in need and as the show primarily aims at children and parents, it is very expected of Alan to present in a less dramatic way, instead he must be more sympathetic yet relatable.
