Josie Long, Shappi Khorsandi and Bill Burr are among his favourite interviewees.

Review: Jack Dee's Inauguration HelpDesk

With only a few hours before Donald Trump becomes the most powerful man in the world, now is a good time to ask questions about the future president - and who is better qualified to deal with it than four comedians and a sports presenter?

Preview - Insert Name Here

When Sue Perkins-fronted panel show Insert Name Here began earlier this year, there was not that much notice taken of it, which was a shame as it was one of the better efforts in terms of panel shows.

Sara Pascoe's Animal wins a QI endorsement

Sara Pascoe's Animal has been named one of the ten most interesting books of the year by QI. However, the list's credibility has taken a blow by including a new book of QI facts - which makes the exercise look a little like a flimsy marketing gimmick in the run-up to Christmas.

Sara Pascoe interview

'I think the new heckles are going to be people correcting us'.

Not so long ago, the idea of president Donald J Trump seemed the stuff of which surreal, grotesque, fantastical comedic riffs might be fashioned (indeed, Boyle did exactly that, on several, clearly fate-tempting occasions). In this recently recorded show, he and accomplices Sara Pascoe, Katherine Ryan, Michelle Wolf and Richard Osman face a daunting challenge now that it's about to be a reality.

Here you can watch Frankie Boyle tear into Donald Trump. Why would you watch anything else? He declares that Trump is not just the wrong person for the job of president but might even be the wrong mammal. Quite. And he predicts that the US presidential race was so absurd, and between two such unappealing candidates, that the next one might be run between a toaster and an ostrich.

However, there are some kind words for Hillary: "For a granny she was quite good at email." Boyle is joined by the annoyingly ubiquitous Katherine Ryan and Sara Pascoe. These are mediocre comedians and it feels like they've been thrown in so the BBC can tick a box on gender equality but also to dilute the acid of Frankie Boyle. Which is a shame. Give him the spotlight, uninterrupted. You don't see John Oliver being forced to share the stage when he eviscerates Trump. The show is a mix of Frankie's brilliant stand-up and some watered down chat with his relatively genteel guests.

Review: Frankie Boyle's American Autopsy

Don't, of course, watch American Autopsy for definitive answers. This was recorded shortly after the vote and I suspect the panel was as shellshocked as the rest of us by the result. But everyone is good value and I suppose I should mention that it's excellent to have so many women on one show. But one final thought. I can't help thinking that when Frankie Boyle sounds like the voice of reason the world really has turned upside down.

Taskmaster: series 3, episode 5 review

It is hard to judge how good this series compared to its two predecessors. Series 2 and 3 are both better than the first in my few, but I think I preferred the second series primarily because although he was not great at scoring points, Joe Wilkinson has so far been the funniest contestant across the three series.
