Had so much exposure on TV? He’s really really unfunny, he’s a crap stilted presenter and just makes everything awkward.

I'm with you @Rainymoondays can't stand him

Betsylee · 11/10/2025 22:34

OP, I can't stand him tbh, find him unfunny and he doesn't seem to find it all easy imo.
Don't normally watch him although did catch him at the end of a quiz the other night, we both couldn't see why he was the presenter.

I like him and find him hilarious. His mother on the other hand…

Totally agree! He used to make her part of his act and talk about how horrible and disparaging she was about him. We were all supposed to find this hilarious apparently 🤔

In your opinion. Clearly, a sufficient number of people disagree with you that putting him on tv remains a profitable endeavour for the company producing the programme. It's not a conspiracy.

Didn’t suggest it was. I just wonder what I’m missing - and what people find funny about him

I wonder the same about Nigel Farage

I mean he’s a cunt. But not sure what he has to do with RR?

I think he is great. Everyone has a different sense of humour and there is no objective good or bad comedians. He's great at what he does, you just happen to not like it.

What is his sense of humour though? I’m watching that tv programme with him on it now and there’s no personality there

I really like him, he’s funny and he’s vegan so great!

What do you like about him? Genuinely I don’t find him funny. I mean I don’t dislike him as a person, he seems fine. But just not funny and an awkward presenter

I think he’s great. Recently rewatched the first series of Taskmaster and he was fab.

I really like him!

AmyDuPlantier · 11/10/2025 22:30

Because they buy a presenter’s exclusivity for x number of years and ram them into every show to get their moneys worth.

Millions disagree with you

I listen to him on the radio, and I do find him funny.
