ITV Presenter
Norden was also later well-known to television audiences for his ITV shows: Looks Familiar, It'll be Alright on the Night and Laughter File.
It'll be Alright on the Night, first broadcast in 1977, consisted of out-takes from film and television linked by witty comments. Much of the material from the early episodes was used on Dick Clark's "Bloopers" specials which aired on NBC a few years later. A couple of mid-1980s editions featured several home video clips: with the increasing private ownership of domestic camcorders, clips were spun off into the long-running You've Been Framed! (1990-).
Laughter File, first broadcast in 1991, showed spoof adverts, real foreign adverts, practical jokes, live television mistakes and other various 'oddities', which Norden said, "tickled our fancies, just when they needed tickling". These items included virtually everything discovered during research for material suitable for Alright on the Night that was not eligible for that show.

Famous quotes containing the word presenter:
“It is more than likely that the brain itself is, in origin and development, only a sort of great clot of genital fluid held in suspense or reserved.... This hypothesis ... would explain the enormous content of the brain as a maker or presenter of images.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
