(But seriously. The point, Nick, is that many of his contemporaries take part in these kinds of shows, even if not regularly. He, on the other hand, one of the most successful figures of British comedy so far this century, hasn't made any sign of an appearance.)

Of strawberries. 
Yum.
Incidentally, I've never seen Steve Coogan on one of these shows either.
Has Steve Coogan done standup?
Well, in character, as Paul and Pauline Calf, yeah.
Don't know if he's had the guts to do it as himself.

Yeah, Frank Skinner was 'discovered' after he supported Coogan at his Fringe Show
I agree with Stuart a thread about things a person hasn't done does seemed a bit pointless. Unless its Bono not opening his mouth which would be a good thing 
You're just defending Stuart because he's a fellow stand up and I f**ked him with the 'jelly' line.
The 'jelly' line? As far as I was aware all you did was confirm my original point. I just thought the thread was absurd, I didn't expect to get f**ked for that.
However, if your style of f**king someone is to confirm the point they were trying to assert, then fair play. If you see Richard Dawkins could you f**k him for me by telling him God doesn't exist? He's gonna be mad.
I didn't confirm any point of yours!
You tried to suggest the question behind my thread was as absurd as asking why he hadn't worked with Jelly - which was presumably the most preposterous thing you could think of. I pointed out an instance of him actually working with jelly - which was pretty f**king neat, by any standards - thereby suggesting that there was nothing absurd about my question.
Your Dawkins analogy would only work if God did actually exist, and I was able to prove it to him.
You must have got off the school bus a stop too early when you were younger.
- you could build a good routine out of that last line...
Retort man, retort!

Er probably 
We stand ups have to stick together, if only to fend off the drunks at the end of gigs.
Ladies, ladies, come now. A little decorum please!
'...too big for panel shows?'
Why... are the seats thin?

Calm down, shake hands, and have a cuppa.
Damn hippies... tryin' to make peace and everything! 
My point was that I knew he had worked with jelly. It's a very well known scene in The Office.
Read my post again and you can clearly see that I said he hadn't brought me any jelly. I was making exactly the same point as you subsequently made, however I made the obvious mistake of not clearly spelling it out and leaving it as a subtle reference that I assumed most fans of The Office would latch on to.
I have no idea how to explain this more clearly to you.
And jelly is not really preposterous.
