Michael McIntyre has reportedly landed a new Saturday night entertainment show on BBC One.
Mac Factor will aim to "recapture" the success of hit '90s show Noel's House Party, according to The Sun.
Producers hope to revive Saturday ratings with elements including McIntyre's stand-up, celebrity guests and games and challenges involving the public.
Rehearsals will begin in July to perfect the show ahead of filming later this year.
A source said: "The Beeb have had a nightmare finding something decent to air on Saturday nights when The Voice and Strictly Come Dancing aren't on.
"Everyone still harks back to the glory days of Noel Edmonds and wishes they could recapture some of that spirit."
McIntyre was previously a judge on Britain's Got Talent two years ago but quit after just one series.
