Michael McIntyre is getting his own chat show on BBC One later this year.
The funnyman, one of the biggest draws on the live comedy circuit, will interview a trio of celebrity guests in each of the six 45-minute shows.
He said: "From my very first conversation I remember thinking, 'This should be televised'. Well now the British Broadcasting Corporation has made my dream a reality.
"I am overwhelmingly excited about meeting and having fun with my favourite celebrated people on The Michael McIntyre Chat Show."
Michael, who got his big break at the 2006 Royal Variety Performance and hosted the show four years later, is a regular on the BBC with shows including Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.
He has also done a stint as a judge on ITV's Britain's Got Talent.

My sentiments also! Someone I just cannot watch.
I like him but I don't know if he's worth millions tbh
He is Britain's most successful stand up for a reason, more people find him funny than any other stand up.
Swearing? He hardly ever swears in his stand-up.
I can't really disagree with you on that.
Couldn't be further from the case re swearing
Like telling me One Direction are the best band because they sold the most records. Michael McIntyre is lowest common denominator 'have you noticed' type of comedian. He's banal in every way.
I didn't say that did I? I said he was the most successful because more people find him funny. But while we're on the subject, how else are we judging how funny people are if it's not by how many people think they're funny?
Graham Norton's old style Ch 4 shows were very loud, in ya face and smutty. I think the move to BBC favoured him considerably and he now shows good balance in his style and the way he deals with some very high profile guests. Im not a big fan of Michael McIntyre but it will be interesting to see how he handles guests etc when hes used to being the centre of attraction. The guests will be spreading themselves thinly between Messrs Carr,Norton, Ross and now McIntyre...and I hope its not same old, same old.
probably just my type of humour but I much preferred GN on Ch4 I feel like being on the BBC had made he become a bit less controversial
He swears plenty.
I don't understand why a channel would need more than one chat show anyway. I'm not a fan of McIntyre, so I won't be watching.
Having seen every show he has ever done I would disagree. Out of all the mainstream stand ups he probably swears less than any of them.
I agree with this. Lets not forget Norton is a lot older now than when he was at Channel 4, he’s matured and his current BBC show reflects that I think. Personally I find his current show more watchable that his previous Channel 4 shows.
What surprises me about this Michael McIntyre announcement is that he’s supposedly getting paid £500,000 for 6 shows. And from the BBC too! That seems unrealistically high. Does he own his own production company, and is the half a million paycheque to cover production costs too?
