Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch is to host a new interview show from the back of his taxi for Living’s online channel Liv, where he will also deliver an alternative Christmas message.
He will interview Baywatch and Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff in the first part of the weekly chatshow, titled Mitch Winehouse’s Showbiz Rant. Each instalment of the 12-episode run will last three-and-a-half minutes.
The show was ordered by Liv commissioning executive Alex Ayling.
The first episode will air today [2 November] at 4pm. The second episode will air on Thursday 5 November and then on consecutive episodes every Thursday. The series will run for a total of 12 weeks.
In Winehouse’s interview with Hasselhoff, topics covered include “the perils of the music industry and the pressures of being a showbiz father”, as well as the Loch Ness monster and Shoreditch vampires.
There will also be a festive special on Christmas Eve, in which the host will broadcast an alternative Christmas message.
Liv channel editor Amy Barham, said it was a “coup” to have Winehouse fronting a show because he is known for his “forthright, no-holds-barred approach”.
