My goodness, he's adorable!
I know.
He did a good job hosting the show, wearing a white pinstriped suit and red tie. His co-host pledged £50 to kiss him, and then he ordered her to pledge another £50 when she smacked his ass.

Truth.
Knew there was a reason I stayed in... I went into work today to find someone had festooned the door to my office in red balloons.... my sides are splitting from the innovative, cutting-edge comedy. Plus there was a motley crew of red antennae-wearing do-gooders virtually strong-arming anyone who hadn't worn an item of red clothing into contributing by way of "forfeit". Was tempted to make a snide Red Army comment if they stopped me but by chance, I was wearing a red-striped shirt, so was able to run that gauntlet safely.
Sorry to be a scrooge, but man, this kind of publicly orchestrated mass charity "event" is definitely not my cup of tea... my choice of when/how to give to charity is certainly not going to influenced by a gaggle of moronic celebs and has-beens cracking 20 year old jokes all night.
Quite. I was looked upon today as something of a pariah for mentioning, casually, that I wasn't in 100% agreement with Comic Relief's methodology or money distribution methods.
Bad idea.
You'd have thought I'd said they support child molesters.
Interestingly, tvguide.co.uk lists Comic Relief 2009 as being under the category "Game Show". 
Have done nothing for red nose day but this made me smile.

I bought the Red Nose Day Recipe book for my mam, and a comedy DVD. I'd rather give to Comic Relief than those bloody people on the street, or knocking at your door. But I do agree about giving to charity should be a personal choice and not be coerced or emotionally blackmailed in to giving.

Ropey tarts in tights. Awful

Yet he still takes part...
I turned it on, saw Al Murray's pub quiz thing, then turned it off and went back to playing Call of Duty. What a spectacularly pointless, humourless waste of time.
Another thing; how the fuck did they manage to raise fifty-seven-million quid in the middle of a global economic crisis?
I'll say this again, emotional blackmail.

Maybe the G20 finance ministers should give that a try. They could have a telethon too, and call it Economic Relief. Worth a try.
Too late, everyone's tapped out after giving almost £21m to Children in Need and almost £58m to Comic Relief in the last 6 months,I'll say this again, emotional blackmail.

Oh, the irony.
And how do businesses get their donations? By handing round the buckets, doing sponsered events, and selling mercendise for Comic Relief, so most of it comes back to donations.
most of the time that is the cas, sometimes its a case of getting a large branded cheque on primetime BBC 1, so it could come out of the advertising budget
Well the show this year was very sedate and i am still waiting for them to do something funny, thank god donations were not charged by the amount of times the the show made you laugh, or else they would have owed the viewing audience a lot of money.
Have you seen what ch 4 are going to show tonight.
Peter kay the untold story of the comic relief video Is This the Way to Amarillo
I know ch4 are running out of money but you think they could find something ells to put on.
