Voted for Brydon, but every single person here is batting below 0.75

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:01 (seventeen years ago)

Also, when/how did James Corden become famous?

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:02 (seventeen years ago)

Hoping lurkers appear to propel Pauline Quirke to the top of the poll. Don't like Rob Brydon.

― Tom D., Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:03 (seventeen years ago)

2003: David Walliams

Four years after Rock Profiles, six years after Mash and Peas.

this really is an honour roll of mediocrity.

― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:51 (seventeen years ago)

I'm a vote Morris twice, once for me and once for my incarcerated scarfaces.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:52 (seventeen years ago)

Dunno, Jaggaman might be a big Kris Marshall fan.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:54 (seventeen years ago)

Sore tempted to vote Ashley Jensen, I was.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:54 (seventeen years ago)

i'm still gonna go for dylan moran

Words fail me

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:57 (seventeen years ago)

^it was sad when he killed himself. i hear he killed his gf or summink tho, so not too sad.

― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 12:59 (seventeen years ago)

2003: David Walliams

Four years after Rock Profiles, six years after Mash and Peas.

Deayton had been knocking around for a good decade before he won his award as well.

― Venga, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 13:05 (seventeen years ago)

Pauline Quirke made her first TV appearance as Molly in "Junket 89" in 1970.

― Tom D., Wednesday, 14 May 2008 13:12 (seventeen years ago)

Also, when/how did James Corden become famous?

First thing I saw him in, pre G&S, was The History Boys.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 13:25 (seventeen years ago)

Oh no wait, I thought Ashley Jensen was that pretend psychic who fucked his career up with the "lol child abuse" routine on Jonathon Woss.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 17:20 (seventeen years ago)

Deayton had been knocking around for a good decade before he won his award as well.

Deyton plays the straight man on Rowen Atkinson's 1982 album, Live in Belfast.

You mean Marc Wootton? There's till a place for him on BBC3.

― DavidM, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 17:42 (seventeen years ago)

Morris and slightly less so Coogan tower over the competition. Biggest WTF is Pauline Quirke; almost everyone else on the list has made me chuckle at least once.

― chap, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 19:14 (seventeen years ago)

Should I know who James Corden is?

― chap, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 19:16 (seventeen years ago)

Square-shaped guy on Gavin and Stacey, also in History Boys. Played the Barlow in Young Person's Guide to Becoming A Rock Star too.

― suzy, Wednesday, 14 May 2008 19:17 (seventeen years ago)
