Chris Evans Plans 30 More Years of TFI Friday Fun
9 Feb
Summary
- TFI Friday, hosted by Chris Evans, has returned after a decade-long absence.
- A new version, TFI Unplugged, launched on YouTube, celebrating the show's 30th anniversary.
- Evans, 59, expressed confidence in continuing the show for decades to come.
Chris Evans' popular TFI Friday format has returned to screens more than ten years after its initial run concluded. The show, originally airing on Channel 4 from 1996 to 2000, saw a brief revival in 2015. A new iteration, titled TFI Unplugged, premiered on Virgin Radio UK's YouTube channel on Friday, February 6, just ahead of the program's 30th anniversary.
During his radio show on February 9, Evans celebrated the 30-year milestone and shared his ambitious plans for the show's future. He expressed his team's enthusiasm for the new YouTube format, which features unfiltered conversations with notable guests, starting with Oscar-nominated actor Delroy Lindo. Evans, who is 59 and approaching 60, drew parallels to past guests like Rod Stewart and Paul McCartney to illustrate that age is not a barrier to longevity in television, confidently stating his intention to continue the show for "another three decades."
