Angus Deayton makes jokes about Jonathan Ross

Angus Deayton introduces the British Comedy Awards 2008. Angus makes jokes about why Jonathan Ross isn't hosting the awards and the Sachs phone calls.

[@thesimpsons17]

That Paul Ross joke is absolutely phenomenal 😂

[@benellis8018]

i have always loved angus deyton, terrific humour

[@JustAnotherPassenger]

You could tell he was nervous, but what a great opening monologue, Jonathan Ross would be proud.

[@lightawake]

Bring back Angus Deayton to host a regular show!! Fantastic wit

[@LOOY756]

0:39 and thus giving him a rare insight into the life of Angus Deayton. That's where I thought that joke was going.

[@vinnydurham8964]

00:45 that's James corden laughing

[@AndyB1286]

I loved his cracks about Britney Spears and the Daily Mail. "You might want to phone in now just to get in ahead of everybody else." Class ;-) Always got time for some Deayton comedy.

[@CameronInglis1999]

Outstanding introduction, one of the best I've seen!

[@MrDaiseymay]

My fav piss-take of his was when he was also standing in for Rowan Atkinson who didn't turn up for the presenting job at some ceremony---when Angus said, Rowan was unavoidably detained at an Aston Martin showroom--- massive laugh and applause---

[@jeanmyers1787]

Bring back Angus on HIGNFY. He was the best

[@0wls2k]

Angus reads incredibly, fantastic host.

[@thesnowdens]

Angus Deayton is by far the best presenter on TV. I pretty sure people don't like him because Paul Merton almost told everyone to dislike him on HIGNFY!!

[@sharplimelight7847]

Andy Roo unfortunate considering Merton only wanted him to Leave since he was no longer suitable to host a talk show criticising others.

[@COIcultist]

@@sharplimelight7847 Or because he is about 1,000 times funnier than him or Hislop!

[@sharplimelight7847]

@Karen DeGenerous thats not what i said. i said merton wanted him to leave for x reasons. i did in no way say merton forced him off in some way.

[@notacaulkhead]

Paul Merton is overpaid and unfunny

[@markc8956]

@@sharplimelight7847 HIGNFY is NOT a talk show..

[@britishkiwi3128]

"30, 000 self-righteous twats who'd never heard the program in the first place".....the best part.

[@kaledmasterme]

i loved this! thanks for uploading!

[@lfrohling]

He's so awesome!!

[@Oli3TB76]

'Thus giving him a rare insight into the life of his brother, Paul.' lmfao

[@themudbloodchannel1584]

Am I thick that I don’t get this

[@r4h4al]

@@themudbloodchannel1584 Who's his brother?

[@karendegenerous8044]

William and Michael. Jonathan Ross has a brother called Paul, who is also in showbiz, but miles from the success that his brother Jonathan has had. Angus said that because Paul is out of work most of the time, poor boy.

[@jpjpd]

this is the funniest ive ever seen angus

[@Goochbot]

Love Angus, definitely made HIGNFY

[@tintedgoggles]

love this!

[@Oli3TB76]

Fair enough. I was simply acknowledging how funny I though that bit in particular was.

[@fraserwebster8761]

Although you don’t see it, you can definitely hear James Corden laugh at 00:45 😂

[@tintedgoggles]

Woo, I remember watching this! Hilarious xD

[@tintedgoggles]

Bah, this is hilarious! Kinda sums it up really. What Russ and Jonathan did was rude, but in the end it was taken totally out of context and it seems like the vast majority of the complainers were people who hadn't even listened the radio show in the first place x] The show was funny. Just got carried away.

[@luskentyreuk]

@TheEverTwistedOne It's irrelevant if someone heard it when it was broadcast, or via a catchup, or an excerpt. You can be sure that anyone going to the effort to lodge a complaint would have heard the offending broadcast.

[@stephenbuffery180]

Bang on

[@ahuman9864]

Angus is so slick, they brought him back but only strictly on probation

[@herefordmsv]

ANGUS IS BRILLIANT

[@orr89]

Haha! Brilliant!

[@CuracaoChic]

I agree!

[@LinnzieUK]

amen!!

[@mobubabe]

What's the joke about Jonathan's brother Paul mean? :) Im not british and not familiar with this :) Thanx )

[@unbelievablescenes]

Mobaba Moba his brother is a lot less successful with his tv career

[@luskentyreuk]

@p3rs0nan0ngrata I wouldn't let the Daily Mail touch my parts thank you very much...

[@TheEverTwistedOne]

@luskentyreuk well actually, yeah it does help if you've witnessed it, then you can actually judge it with knowledge of what actually happened, not judge it based on someone elses opinion which could be pretty screwy and nothing to do with the context of what acutally hapened.

[@Mozzie666]

Paul Ross is a presenter on downmarket daytime tv shows and frankly lucky to get work on those!

[@TheEverTwistedOne]

@luskentyreuk That wasn't my point, my point was about the people who DON'T view the material AT ALL, but still go on what someone else has to say about it, and jump straight onto the bandwagon, and NEVER think to check it out first hand.

[@freewheeler2909]

joy is not watching adverts and making your own decisions

[@WANNABENICKO]

Bit harsh on Paul who is the talented brother by far but otherwise Angus is on top form here, everything he says is completely true - particularly about the "thirty thousand self righteous twats" and Britney miming!

[@PurushaDesa]

Yes! Everyone was brilliant in Nighty Nighty. What a relentlessly twisted show. (Julia Davis has a sick sick mind!)

[@Eddie4518]

oh yeah

[@sfoster.23]

I think it’s time for Drayton to make a return don’t you?

[@karendegenerous8044]

Maybe something to retiring into, and an agreement from the rest of the past is the past.

[@FalkusxD]

@MidnightEkaki gz brains, watch it 4-5 times again then u might get it

[@MBGamingLegends]

I agree with Angus! People call in and bitch about stuff without even seeing it first.

[@purplenurps]

@spartanjades yes he is

[@greekpanther1]

@Oli3TB76 i dont get it

[@InnocenceExperience]

he was more in support of Ross than making jokes ABOUT him

[@tellymadman]

0.46 you can hear james corden laughing

[@claw2733]

god i love british comedy lol

[@erniescullion8452]

I dont like him much but he makes me laugh.

[@tellymadman]

@CuracaoChic cheers

[@purplenurps]

LOL @ 00:48 james corden laughing

[@JustAnotherPassenger]

You mean 'Have I got News For You', Paul and Ian didn't really like him though, and unfortunately he can't really make jokes about other peoples private lives after the revelations about his. You're right though, he should be a regular on TV - although given the recent complaint culture I doubt the BBC would have him back as a regular for a while. Don't forget though he does host 'Would I Lie To You' on BBC1, which is quite good - depending on the guests.

[@benmboard]

@MidnightEkaki nah e's a good guy, you'll like

[@antbubb]

that should be rephrased to say 30,000 daily mail readers...

[@ElsolraSaul]

poor paul lol

[@oOBeagleOo]

@rogan232 does it? I dont really like him so i wouldn't know :)

[@Dermot2927]

I love Angus but I also think Ross and Brand behaved despicably and did not deserve to be defended.

[@cartoonymanoony]

if your saying hes better than ian hislop your talking about have i got news for you, not whose line

[@oOBeagleOo]

@rogan232 im sorry? James Corden, how do you know its his?

[@VK-pk8uz]

1:07 - who is THAT O_O

[@lukderyck]

I think it's actress Sarah Alexander. She's been in loads of things. Married to Peter Serafinowicz

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

And yet looked what happened to Russell Brand's film career. The words without a trace spring readily to mind.

[@kitpalmer1583]

He was working for years after that lol he just chose to focus on different things

[@allwrighty100]

Years later and Jonathan Ross is none the worse, apparently the old boy network gravy train forgives and forgets pretty quickly.

[@0wls2k]

To be fair rightly so, that whole saga was a load of nonsense. Ross' lack of talent aside of course!

[@sourpinklemons0809]

the awards aren't the same without Johnathan Ross...:(

[@spartanjades]

james corden isnt there

[@leonardpattison2816]

Ross n grant True rebels

[@Carfer22]

Yeah he's too good not to be a regular on tv. He should go back to work with Paul Merton and Ian Hislop oin that show! Can't remember its name

[@oOBeagleOo]

@rogan232 cba

[@satoisalegend]

he's well known for being a lot less famous than jonathan

[@karendegenerous8044]

Hardly.

[@luskentyreuk]

@tellymadman Ah, so you actually have to witness something in order to object to it? Very strange concept...

[@karendegenerous8044]

It's the same with everything.

[@spartanjades]

Who you mean James Corden? Lol

[@HerbertDuckshort]

Cnut.

[@simonmaguire6530]

as great as that was you can tell her isn't used to live TV. couple of hesitations there

[@MidnightEkaki]

Don't know this guy, but my first impression from him making fun of Jonnathon and Russell gives me the feeling that I don't like him.
