    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

    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

    To answer the OP's question: Gina Yashere

    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

    I had the misfortune of having to sit through a Hannah Gadsby special on Netflix. Now I know I'm not the target audience, and she is hugely successful, but fcuk me, that was horrific

    Sarah Millican is beyond un-funny.

    Also comes across a very unpleasant person.

    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.

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

    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.

    Freddie Starr, he was a regular fixture on TV in the 80s and 90s. He's a 3rd rate sh!tehawk who laughs at his own awful jokes.

    Also Harry Hill, everything about him is annoying

    I love Harry Hill.... His recent show Harry Hills clubnight had me in stitches, also gave a really good showcase to lots of other pretty unknown comedians. But his type of comedy definitely not for everyone.

    Russell Brand is another one. At least his film career didn't last. Saw about 5 minutes of Arthur. Desperate.
