I started compiling a Top Ten Worst TV Comedians, but there are so many I've had to split it in two: 1) Stephen Fry, a lazy luvvy oozing smugness; find one laugh out loud Fry joke and I'll buy you a pint. 2) Lenny Henry - terrific on Tiswas; has coasted on empty ever since. 3) Michael McIntyre - great delivery, no jokes. 4) David Baddiel - okay with Rob Newman and Frank Skinner but as a solo performer he's never ever been funny. 5) Jo Brand - must be the Green Party favourite, she's recycled the same three gags for 25 years. 6) Marcus Brigstocke - another gratingly gobby public school rebel with a checklist of tiresome right-on opinions. 7) John Bishop - started well, but fizzled out quickly; the funniest thing about his act is that as his material gets weaker, his accent gets stranger. 8) Miles Jupp - cos TV comedy just isn't posh enough. 9) Eddie Izzard - all style, no substance. 10) Miranda Hart - big woman falls over, repeat ad nauseum. Tune back next week to see which Russell makes the list. LAST week I asked which Russell would make my second Worst TV Comics list. Trick question - it's all of them. Here are the next ten fraudulent funsters: 1) Stephen K. Amos - the antidote to laughter; his material is limper than an octogenarian vicar's handshake. 2) Phill Jupitus - Quadrophobia was as funny as a puncture on a scooter run. 3) Russell Kane. You don't like your Dad. We get it. Move on. 4) Sue Perkins and her hilarious catchphrase, "Bake!" FFS! 5) Seann Walsh. Nice hair, shame about the act. 6) Russell Howard - wonky-eyed PC berk; women want to mother him, I'd add an "s". 7) David Walliams - vain and over-rated; the self-adoring Walliams was easily the worst thing about Little Britain. 8) Richard Ayoade - one-trick-pony actor, often mistaken for a comic by clueless TV bookers. 9) Katy Brand - jollier than Jo but just as useless. 10) Russell Brand, so steeped in hypocrisy and self-importance no-one notices his legacy of flop TV shows. If he's really a pop culture Messiah, let's hope he's born-again with a funny bone. APOLOGY: I have recently published two Top Tens of TV's Worst Comedians. I understand that these lists may have caused offence which I deeply regret. I'd like to solemnly and sincerely apologise to Rufus Hound, Alan Davies and Omid Djalili for leaving them out.
