Karaoke Television, usually called KTV for short, was a live-action music competition airing on Great Belize Television (Channel 5). It premiered in February 2001 and completed six seasons as of October 30, 2007.
Origins and format.
KTV, according to host William Neal, originated from a karaoke competition hosted by Channel 5 the previous year during its annual "Gimme 5" Christmas special. Neal claimed the show was not looking as much for real singing talent as for stage performance- giving a
single host and instead would have a different host in every episode.
Origin.
Corden explained that the segment was inspired by a "Gavin & Stacey"-themed sketch he had participated in for the British charity television special "Red Nose Day 2011", in which he sang along with George Michael in a car.
For the 2014 documentary "When Corden Met Barlow" which aired on BBC One, Corden included a 6 minute 45 second Carpool Karaoke segment in the documentary with singer-songwriter Gary Barlow of Take That.
