Why aren't Baddiel and Skinner on TV anymore? Page 2

Baddiel's a novelist now, he's gone up in the world.

I'm always slightly disturbed by people who enter the public consciousness doing one thing and then become known for something else once they're famous. It's a bit like they tricked you...

Like we were all an unknowing part of their evil plan.

I hear Baddiel is shying away from T.V. What a crime!!!

I don't blame him.

I'm shying away from Supermodels at the moment.

And a film writer/director.

No more Hornby for you?

:D

Is that a euphemism?

Yes. Although at least Baddiel came from a writing background. It's far worse hen people like Jordan, Naomi Campbell and Gerry Haliwell jump on the novel bandwagon.

Baddiel is one of the most awful people in the business. A hack through and through, his 'writing' is dreadful, and he is painfully unfunny.

Anyone see his dignity-destroying 'performance' on the Jonathan Ross Show?

Pathetic.

Skinner was relatively good in his day, but he is also past it.

Knowledge.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

You're a comic creation, aren't you, Jim? There's no way you're real. It's your repeated use of buzzwords that gives the game away. Knowledge.

I think the word comic is going too far, Chip.

People come and go and I think James Corden is getting their gigs. Is Statto out of financial trouble now?

Unplanned was always a lot of a fun. Was it on every night too? I always felt sad when they got to the song at the end as it meant the show was over.
