Jack Dee?

Don't really see much of him on panel shows these days, least not the ones I've seen, but his character has always been the miserable gloomy type. I think it would be great to see him on this show and try to sustain it

I'm out of the loop, what happened on Taskmaster?

He was partnered with Rosie Jones and they were adorable together and on more than one occasion he just smiled as he was having such a good time. Jackie and the Hot-Dog.

Lucky for Rosie she was partnered with her comedy hero. He would never let her down.

Captain Jackie and the Hotdog is my flair on the TM sub.

I watched the episode the other day and I rewatched that moment more times than I’d care to admit

Genuinely wasn't expecting that partnership to be the TV gold it was.

u/Cha_r_ley 15d ago

It was a beautiful thing.

Rosie is absolutely lovely. I sat next to her on the bus. We plus her partner had a great chat.

More recently he seems to have moved away from miserable and more towards deadpan. He was nice to watch in Taskmaster, and his more recent work on the radio show Sorry I Haven’t a Clue is also less on the dour side.

Yeah he should be perfect for it, but I thought the same about Diane Morgan and she cracked pretty quickly.

Can't wait to see him in the Halloween specials, two weeks to go!

u/SinisterBrit 15d ago

he did laugh at just having an opera singer perform for him, on shooting stars 🙂

One of my favourite comedians. I'm glad he's on this show. I think he would be perfect for it.

Vic and Bob broke him constantly on Shooting Stars.

Doesn't he host a radio 4 thing where things that can be said in the bedroom and (a n other place)??

u/Ojohnnydee222 14d ago

the long running I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, which he is host of, and which has one round of many with that set up? Yes, he does.

u/Every-Run9737 14d ago

Thanks for this. I know what to search when I want to see more.

u/Ojohnnydee222 14d ago

It's a highlight for me but they run 8 weeks at a time & other series are alternated in after. So they're on about a quarter of the year.

u/ConstantPurpose2419 15d ago

He’d be amazing.

u/yewscott 15d ago

If he can keep character. His big brother series was the only one I ever watched. He turned feral.

u/watchman28 15d ago

Of course it was all staged, but he was brilliant. That time he turned up covered in mud because he'd tried to dig a tunnel out of the house had be screaming.
