    He's not a comedian to be fair. Just a fat lad who acts a bit and hosts a few shows.

    I've never got the seeming unified hate for him, I wouldn't be a fan of his but he always appears on these lists

    I also don't know how he landed his late night US gig either mind

    Yanks will laugh at pretty much anything if you tell them they should be laughing at it.

    They thought driving around in a car with rock stars singing their shight songs was cool.

    It is lunar, on a binary level for the associated cognisance, look it up in a book, don't be lazy.

    Get out of here, easily one of the best comedians going, his bit about the cheese grater alone is better than most entire acts.

    By all accounts she is supposed to be deplorable to work for. I hear she is cutthroat.

    I feel real sorry for the DJ who has to dance around all the time, I hope she pays him well.

    Jack Whitehall - useless standup...grand in fresh meat as he was literally playing a posh tosser I.e himself

    Joel dommett

    John bishop

    Sarah Millican...a joke about cake every 30 seconds useless

    shappi khorsandi
    Not heard of her? Your lucky!

    Amy Schumer - steals jokes and makes them worse

    I think he had a successful run on Broadway, won a Tony award and went from there

    I don't see the attraction either, people creamed themselves over Gavin and Stacey and i don't get it, it's just not funny

    Hey entire shtick is "my Nigerian mother" and it stopped being funny years ago but somehow she still gets airtime

    And that redhead who always on Mock the Week, painfully unfunny

    Want to double down on James Corden. The arrogant, ignorant, big-headed, fat-headed, incredibly unfunny & annoying prick. I hate the sight of him.

    Any of the others doesn't bother me that much really.

    Fact. Joe Rogan is awful but his podcast is quality and his work in the ufc is top drawer. I just wish he stayed away from stand up.

    I'm no fan of his at all but it seems a little unfair to leave out the fact that he cowrote Gavin and Stacey, a hugely popular show.

    Hannah Gadsby scares the sh*t out of me. An extremely weird person, and not in a kooky 'that's cute' kind of way. I watched a bit of the Netflix special and concluded she has greater problems than the patriarchy rattling around in her skull. Whatever that was, it wasn't comedy.
