The Frank Skinner Show is a television chat show hosted by comedian Frank Skinner, which lasted nine series on British television between 1995 and 2005.[1]

As well as celebrity interviews, the shows includes an initial stand-up routine, various sketches throughout the episode and usually concludes with a comedic song featuring Skinner and the guest stars.

In 2000, the show moved to ITV.[2] The programme was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award in 2001.[3]
