An undemocratic appointment conducted in a secretive manner and foisted upon us, it radically alters the balance of power in the upper echelons of H & V and was clearly done for that very purpose. This has been pushed through with absolutely no consultation and should not even have been considered until after the presidential election. I fear for the future.

Is it a case of smile and grin at the change all around or a case of meet the new boss same as the old boss?

Personally I am a longtime big fan of the JC and his body of work.

He is not Jesus though he has the same initials.

There were some similarities. "Peter, you are my rock". FFS. Atrocious.

Which always reminds me of the classic NTNOCN sketch re: Monty Python around the time the Life of Brian was released.

You forgot the especially unfunny James Corden.

[cdbearsfan]

At least John Cleese used to be funny.

In the realms of comedy, Carrott is under-rated. He was highly influential in his day.

Was Carrot the first truly TV age observational comic or did Billy Connolly beat him to the punch? Or were there others before them?

Connolly was around first but from what I remember he was better known as a singer than a comic. They were certainly the pub rock to the early alternative comedians punk.

agreed, My Mom and Dad loved him.

sadly my attempt at any type of comedy has made me do a J. Corden...apologies
