He is better at certain stuff though, and you not being a football person will not have seen how exceptional he is on Match of the Day.<br /><br />I managed three minutes of the Tompkinson travelogue, then left the room.

I saw one of the Paul Merton ones and it was truly terrible - and I imagine he's far from the worst of the current bunch.<br /><br />As for clapping - totally agree. I went to a comedy benefit about fifteen years ago, at which the audience was invited by Simon Fanshawe to 'give yourselves a round of applause for coming along tonight'. I was sitting in the front row, and my exclamation of 'oh for fuck's sake' was clearly heard by Mr F. It didn't stop him ploughing grimly on with his unfunny brand of comedy for a good few years after that, though.
