In October 2016, it was announced that Channel 4 had commissioned a new pre-watershed show titled Alan Carr: Happy Hour,[2] a spin-off to Alan Carr: Chatty Man, which was cancelled on 9 October 2016 due to low ratings battled against BBC One's The Graham Norton Show, which got higher ratings. Happy Hour was to be similar to Chatty Man, however without interviews with celebrities or alcohol, as Channel 4 wanted to attract a younger audience. There would also be audience surprises and games.

The show aired on Fridays at 8 pm on Channel 4.
