==ITV presenter==

Norden was also later well known to television audiences for his [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] shows: ''Looks Familiar'', ''[[It'll Be Alright on the Night]]'' and ''Laughter File''. ''It'll Be Alright on the Night'', which he hosted from 1977 until 2006, 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 [[camcorder|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 ''It'll be Alright on the Night'' that was not eligible for that show.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-09-19/denis-norden-tribute-itv-documentary/|title=ITV reveals Denis Norden tribute programme in change to TV schedules|website=Radio Times|author=Ellie Harrison|date=19 September 2018}}</ref><ref name="itv">{{cite web|url=http://www.itv.com/news/2018-09-19/itll-be-alright-on-the-night-host-denis-norden-dies-aged-96/|title=It'll be Alright on the Night host Denis Norden dies aged 96|date=19 September 2018|author=Nina Nannar|website=ITV News}}</ref>
