Why aren't Baddiel and Skinner on TV anymore? Page 3

What, just because I don't follow the MOR take on a performer, I am not real? Drop the existential tip and get real: Baddiel is awful.

And I notice that no one can defend his trou-dropping on Jonathan Ross?

He's a burglar.

I think you'll find it has nothing to do with you not liking Baddiel.

What are you on about?

It is the skilled acceptance in the industry that Baddiel is a hack - nd always has been. He is notorious for his willingness to put himself forward for absolutely everything, even when he is totally unsuitable. Last year, he put himself forward for an acting role (?), playing a thirty year old (??). Clown.

Skinner seems to accept his limitations and takes what he can get - and does it fairly well. He is still past it though, for real.

As I said, peoples responses had nothing to do with your dislike of Baddiel, I can't say I'm a fan either.

I thought you were supposed to work in law.

Oh wait, this is all your high flying celebrity friends in 'the industry' that tell you this. I forgot them.

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

I don't think that he was ever in trouble, particularly: he lost a lot, but then he HAD a lot in the first place.

@Zoo - Yes, I work in the law. My skillsets are such that I meet people in the business. Plus I have friends from Uni who are also in the business.

Jim you always get my vote :D

Because they are boring, unfunny and dated......?????

Dunno tbh!

I agree with Jim that Baddiel is crap but......

Knowledge?

Skillsets?

for real?

Drop the existential tip

You sound worse than Godot!

How long shall I wait before replying to that?

Humour.

Is something of which you have little command.

Take as long as you like, I'm guessing that no licked tips of pencils are at the ready to record it.

Headshot.
