    Graham Norton for one. Why waste your life pretending to find the anecdotes of boring old celebs funnny or interesting. Besides the money of course.

    It's one reason Parkinson gave it up. He found them intolerable.
    While I'm at it : the faux seriousness of Tubridy.

    He put up with it for 36 years till he was 72 if it was that intolerable you would think he would have stopped a lot sooner.

    The US hosts are by far the worst, Jimmy Fallon for example. The amount of rear end kissing and forced dlaughter [more like guffaws] at guest's lame jokes or 'hilarious' stories. They have to be told to act way ott? must be painful to have to keep it up every show. I agree on Norton, he does over do it, not everything can be as side splitting as he loves to make out. Haven't watched enough of Tubridy to say either way, just can't stand him regardless, but it does seem he tends more on the overly serious for the sake of drama side

    If I was on their money, I would even laugh at Fun Bobby's hammer story.

    That's true. He made his money though I'm sure.

    Fallon is definitely the worst with all his fake laughter.

    Yup, he doesn't seem to know where the cap is on forced laughter, he's really irritating

    James Cordon does his heel of the hand to the face crying as he laughs.

    Makes me want to kick my TV.
