Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Jo Brand, Paul Merton, John Richardson, Robert Webb, Adam Johnson, John Sessions, Sue Perkins, Ian Hislop.
The first three are the worst. Jo Brand is possibly the most dislikable person on TV for me with her faux sexless marriage and her faux self-loathing and her sarky, witless put-downs.
Fry is annoying because he clearly thinks he is a genius and sprinkles every remark he makes with irrelevant observations and terrible accents/impressions.
Alan Davies is just an irritating berk.
Stephen Fry always seems to be a clever chap who everyone pretends is a genius.
Jo Brand I hardly see, but I remember being a proper old skool stand-up from the 80s so can't see there's all that much wrong with her.
But panel shows themselves are such a dire, listless format. HIGNFY in the early days was such a storming format, but it's been on the telly far, far too long and over imitated.
Panel shows are like TV comedy incest. They've been f**king themselves for so many years, all that's left are albino, 7 toed, troglodyte shows.
