The majority of his guests that are from america love him and mention his name to other high profile celebs who want to appear on his show.
He gets all the big names, just recently he hsd miley cyrus on weeks after the vma performance. Graham norton got his own show over there abd was pretty successful.
How long till alan Carr gets poached and becomes the next big thin

He's annoying & unfunny
I love Alan Carr, I find him hilarious and he seems like a nice guy, deserves the success!
Pink mentioned him to someone a few series ago and jamie fox was recommended to do his show by another rapper apparently
I think he's great but not someone who would travel well.
Out of the big three though Carr gets the shittest guests. Mostly made up of his mates, talent/reality show z-listers and channel 4 presenters.
I doubt if the Norton show was currently on if Carr would have got Cyrus.
I think this is true. America doesn't do camp with quite the same gusto Britain does.
The same arguments could have been put forth for Graham Norton when he tried to break the US. At the time the Channel 4 version of his show was getting then relevant big name American guests.
Of course when he went to the US he struggled to get the same calibre of celebrities on his couch. The reason he got the cream of the crop in the UK was because his show ot big ratings so when US celebs wanted to promote their latest project their bookers got them on the Graham's show. In the US he was an unknown ad had to start at the beginning with lesser named guests and the occasional bigger name who came to their good will.
Annoying
Ok we get he annoys you.
Lol.

I think that some Americans like a camp persona but not someone who directly refers to the fact that they're gay.
You have got to be kidding with this post!?
His Chatty Man show has a widely regarded appalling guest list. Repetitive and unremarkable people. Horribly blatant promoting their stuff week in week out.
As for the USA, not a chance. For a start the USA is still a backward country regards being obviously gay like Alan Carr. Plus they never need much of an excuse to need subtitles with people that speak differently, and Alan would need subtitles.
I like him, but he should stick to the stand up alone, and stay in Britain.
He made me laugh with the interview with Sharon Osbourne a couple of weeks ago - "Who's house are you going to be pretending to live in this year then?" Talking about X-factor judges homes
I don't think he will ever have Stateside success. What has he to offer America which several hundred other homegrown comics can't offer? Nothing, really. Also they are not half as in love with the camp character (Julian Clary, John Inman, Larry, Grayson, Frankie Howerd) as the Brits - it's a music hall thing. And the Yanks aren't half as relaxed about it all as we are - and the Bible belt and the Mid-West are a big 'market'.
As for Carr 'getting all the big names', it's business, love. They only appear to plug their latest film, DVD, CD or whatever and Carr happens to be in the chair interviewing them. The do the rounds and it is all choreographed and scripted, almost down to the 'ad libs'. Sorry to shatter the dream but someone had to.
