What about Louis Theroux?
Maybe not now I dunno, but I bet he will be when his career is through.
Just watched his gambling one.
"Are you winning?"
"Er, we are from Italy"

Nah. He's good, but that quote is a great example; the comedy moments, the really properly great bits, come from the people he's talking to. Not him.
Louis' great imo.

Tony Hart broke my heart every week 
Week on week out I would be glued to the TV hoping...praying that my picture would be featured in the viewer's gallery. It never happened.
Pah!

Yeah, in mine too. Do you think potential national treasure though?
No!
But then I suppose zooo would have us believe that Gervais is a national treasure, so f**k knows.
I thought national treasures are of a certain age and have a long career under their belt. I think Louis is a bit young to be a national treasure.

I like Ricky Gervais, but not a treasure imo.

I expect like the term 'legend' and everything else, everyone has their own definition of what it means.
I wouldn't term Ricky a National Treasure though. I still can't think of anyone more fitting than Stephen Fry.
Anyone mentioned Jimmy Saville yet?
Derek Griffiths.
John Peel.
Bernard Cribbens.
