I’m sick to death of seeing this alleged comedian and him telling us he is kicking his kids out when they are 18.

[ummmm]

You're talking about an advert.

[sherrardk]

The fashion thing he did with the man with the big teeth was hilarious - although the agree that he seems to be everywhere at the moment.

[grumpy01]

It is a clip which is being used to attract people to watch the programme.If it is meant to be funny then the BBC have an odd view on what is funny.

[Hopkirk]

I like him, but can't watch Sarah Millican.

[naomi24]

ummmm, I googled him. I think I may have seen him .... perhaps on QI or something like that, but whatever it was it doesn't appear to have left a lasting impression. Likewise Sarah Millican. I've seen snippets of her performances. That's more than enough for me.

[ummmm]

Or maybe you do, Grumpy.

The BBC have long had a history of deciding that someone is entertaining, and then forcing them onto the viewing public until eventually the suits get the messages that the viewing public does not actually agree with them.

Their most recent example of that approach was the Mayo/Whiley abonination which took one seasoned and popular broadcasteroff the station altogether, and put the other one back where she started.

Cast your minds back to Patrick Kielty, who cropped up everywhere and anywhere, much like Mr Ranganathan is doing now - it took months of his gurning presence for the hierarchy to accept that the viewers didn't find him as irresectable as the suits clearly thought they should, and he was finally dropped.

It's what happens when you employ people who are not really qualified for what they do, give them other people's money to spend getting it wrong endlessly, and then avoid any sanctions of encouragement of any kind for them to actually do their jobs properly.

Don't worry, there will be someone else along in a minute.

Nish Kumar is brown. I think he mentioned it once.

[Rockrose]

Very funny man, thats an advert so of course it is going to be seen a lot!
His program where he went to live in the States was very funny.

[-Talbot-]

His states visit was better than that of Bradley Walsh and son... Bloody awful.

[Kathyan]

Can't stand the bloke. Not funny at all.

[Gromit]

He has popped up on HIGNFY and I thought he was quite good.
I tend to watch everything on catch up, so I am not subjected to adverts or trailers.

I notice his tour is close to Sold Out, so someone must like him.

[ummmm]

I think he's brilliant. It's like he doesn't try to be funny but just is. Like my father, it's the way you tell them.

He's a bit like Karl Pilkinton (sp)

[LadyCG]

I like Romesh and I like his travel series. I liked Richard Ayoade's Travel Man too.

[-Talbot-]

Richard Ayoade... Now there is a one trick pony.

[BagPussAA]

Ive given up trying to find a funny comedian in the current batches.. most of them just dont cut the mustard. The only ones in the past 10 years or so that I find funny are Dara O'Briain and Russell Howard.. The rest leave me a little cold to be honest. I feel like I am the only one who doesnt understand the joke.

[ummmm]

There's loads. Sean Lock, Jon Richardson, Jimmy Carr....loads of others but I can't remember their names.

[Ken4155]

One person's 'rib tickler' is another person's Mike and Bernie.

[LadyCG]

I particularly like Joe Lycett, Sean Locke and Jimmy Carr. I'm going to see JC next month.

[anotheoldgit]

Romesh Ranganathan is brilliant.
