He even made Stewart Lee laugh. Amstell is so bloody funny. Can't believe they missed the "One and Only" chair gag off though.

"I feel I should explain Donny to people who aren't aware of his work" That would be everyone then, Simon.

Telling Donny that he “won’t win” is probably one of the most humane things ever done on British television

I think the saddest thing about watching this now, is that Amstell's kind of brutal humour just wouldn't fly at all on mainstream TV nowerdays. I remember watching these old episodes when they first aired and my stomach would hurt from laughing so hard. Not just because of Amstell's quick wit, but because it would humanise these celebrities somewhat and make them more relatable, like having banter with mates. Now everyone on TV has to be in a comfort zone and satire has to be heavily censored. Truly an end of an era.

I keep hearing people say this and it's just bollocks. Yeah it's not cool to make jokes around gender/sexuality/race but a good comedian doesn't need to stoop to that shit and they never did on this show. It's fine to take the piss out of eachother

To be fair tho - these were the funny bits. Sometimes it wasn't funny when they just called someone a c*nt for no good reason. It's no wonder they had trouble booking people after a while

@stephenpalmer93752 жыл бұрын
to be fair, if you saw his BBC TV sitcom Grandma's House, you'll see he regrets quite how things turned out immensely. His persona on NMTB doesn't seem to match his self-loathing and self critical personality at all. However, he was brilliant on the show, pricking the pomposity of a number of guests

Never the same after Simon left, he had the perfect mixture of humour and pure evil.
