Seriously, I refuse to believe any exist. Name them.

Zane's hair has gone more Brand-esque (Russell or Jo? who knows anymore)
but not sure he is worse than Justin Lee Francis

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:29 (nineteen years ago)

I was gonna say, the only real challengers here are Collins and Nick fucking Knowles. Would JLC be as hatable if he wasn't as ubiquitous? Zane manages to inspire contempt based on less than 90 minutes of terrestial TV a week.

Russel Fucking Brand

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

Is Sarpong-hate based solely on her voice making you feel like you've been stabbed in the ear?

― dommy p is alright WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE (Dom, Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

What's wrong with Nick Knowles?

Dog Lating, have you turned into The Lex?

xpost - that, and the fact that she is completely fucking stupid (see guest appearance on Have I Got News For You for evidence, if any were actually needed)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

Jimmy Carr, duh!

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

That twat who presents Buzzcocks now.

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

I don't watch enough TV evidently. The only time I've ever seen Russell Brand do anything was on the Secret Policeman's Ball and I was pleasantly surprised.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

ilm loves amstell - FACT

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

yup, r brand and j carr way worse

is vernon kay still on tv?

jeremy clarkson too

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

i love Sarpong's voice, but she's too nice/dull/not really 'a natural' at the presenting lark

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

I really hate Natasha Kaplinsky reading the news too

Not me!

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

I stand up for Sarpong and Kay and Amstell (obv).

I can't defend Jimmy Carr or Alex Zane. I thought you meant Zane Lowe for a minute, who is essentially a good man.

Nick Knowles news

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

Did anyone see it the other week when a camera man told Alex Zane he was rubbish live on air and they had a fight? That was hilarious.

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

I don't hate Jimmy Carr. Is there something wrong with me?

That twat who presents Buzzcocks now.

In what universe is Simon Amstell MORE annoying than Mark Lamarr?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

Rory McGrath. Still. I didn't think it was possible for him to get any more loathsome until that disgusting advert with the Thierry Henry shirt.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

Justin Lee seems to be gone off the telly, because of us?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Rory McGrath seconded.

Also, Ian Wright.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

JLC does those Heinz adverts currently, which are the best thing he's ever done: ie, slight below mediocre.

― dommy p is alright WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE (Dom, Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

I thought you meant Zane Lowe for a minute, who is essentially a good man.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yes, Ian Wright! AND Alan Shearer!

Jonathan Ross

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Ian Wright is the most inarticulate fucktard on tv.

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Phil Jupitus as well for that matter. I don't actually mind Alex Zane that much, really. I've never really watched him that much but he seems harmless in that generic C4 presenter way.

God I'd forgotten Ian Wright. Lock thread.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm actually prepared to call Ian Wright as a worse TV personality than Alex Zane now I think about it... although the first time I ever saw Alex Zane on the tv he was talking about how Vanilla were obviously a joke band because they were so ugly. The second time I saw him on TV he was fawning over Kings of Leon. lol irony.

― dommy p is alright WHICH IS A LOT MORE THAN I CAN SAY ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE (Dom, Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

why did i think it was 'justin lee FRANCIS'? this isn't the first time either...

russell brand is ok.

ian wright sixth'd.

― benrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

Iain Lee

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Is it shooting fish in a barrel to suggest John McCririck?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Did anyone see it the other week when a camera man told Alex Zane he was rubbish live on air and they had a fight? That was hilarious.

How could I miss this. A Zane is SHIT, but the people who would think he would be good to present a show are more loathable obv.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

i like Jonno Ross, esp. his hilarious innuendoes directed at 4 Poofs And A Piano

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

I've never heard of most of these people. are any of them worse than phil jupituss?

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

JLC (or is it a soundalike?) is doing that advert where he insists on pronouncing the word "tomato" as "TWO-MAO-ARR-TOO". Needless to say it's very irritating.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

From Alex Zane's wiki entry

He has also presented several large scale crap music events, including the V Festival, and the Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park.

― ONIMO ph34rz teh NOIZE (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Davina McCall, Zoe Ball, Jade Goody are all worse. Richard Whitely too thank fuck he's gone from the screens/life.

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

one of the judges on '8 out of 10 cats' might be the actual worst but i don't know his name.

― benrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

Was that before or after you edited it Onimo? ;)

― Darramouss (Darramouss ftw), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

it's weird to see Tim Lovejoy on BBC2.

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

If you have Ian Wright, I would also mention Peter Reid, who appears to be in gainful employment on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday, despite the fact he makes Ian Wright sound like Stephen Fry.

― Daniel Giraffe (Daniel Giraffe), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Steve Jones, is that his name?

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

does he swear his head off? i hope so (xpost)

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

I forgive Jonathan Ross his crappy interviewing style because I really like his radio show and he is generally humorous even though his chat show sucks balls ("as do my house band, Four Poofs and A Piano, hoho!")

It's a tough call between McCririck and Wright, really.

(Ian Wright not nominated particularly for his football punditry, but for attempts at Saturday evening light entertainment)

(though xenophobic punditry doesn't help xpost to myself)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

Ian Wright's punditry souds like he's only having one half of a conversation with someone inside his head that you can't hear.

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 15:50 (nineteen years ago)

That guy who hosts the music video shows on E4 and tries to do a Cockney accent despite obviously coming from Derby or somewhere, and does this weird pauses in sentences to indicate emphasis because he seems incapable of doing inflection. Rubbish

hopin' and mud rub

comin' in bunches
could serve like lunches
hold ya horses here's where the source is
not very tall but never took a short kid
with a clip to claw
wouldn't draw Mcgraw
I trick a law before all and all I'm raw
a naughty shorty, sporty with a forty
a laddy takin' tours, just to plan an orgy
a nasty critter, any hoe hitter
hated my babysitter cause she wouldn't let me hit her
now get up on it, on and on get on it
and I will pump it, only if you want it
