I doubt it was him, but look up the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson. The man is hilarious!
Again, just not funny. It's the same thing every night. Pull a face, make a double-entendre, talk to a robot, talk to a guest, repeat.

Ferguson also manages to annoy me with his anti-British comments. It's like he's still terribly bitter that he couldn't make it in the UK.

What was that British comedian on late night, kinda like a talk show. He was always poking fun at the Scottish, Catholics, and like to say "... in ...Shire, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting Vicar". Dave something...?

Are you thinking Dave Allen?  He is/was Irish.

Red dwarf peaked imo in seasons 3/4/5. Early seasons were funny because they were new and later were funny to the die hard fans.

Blackadder has always been pure genius. The first series was a bit meh, but if you watched the documentary about the series, they all thought so. I'm very glad they stopped at Blackadder goes forth, any more would have seen it slide and would have been a shame.

Can't fault Father Ted, brilliant doesn't quite describe it.

Both seasons of Phoenix nights are brilliant too. Watching Brian Potter going round the roundabout shouting "Pyschic? whats a pyschic?" comedy gold

Shameless has been a recent favourite too, not the US version, that is plain awful

Shameless UK is a great show but it lost a some of it's appeal for me Martin left. Great character!

This is one of my favs from Monty Python
Salad Days (Tennis Anyone)
Hilarious!

Bit of Trivia. The Python Theme Song- Liberty Bell March (Sousa-1893) was used during
changing of Guard. That is until Python started using it for the show.
The crowd would snicker when it was played, so they changed music :rofl

It's the cold medicine.

Try some Black Adder   :aok

+1 on this - so clever you could paint it brown and call it a weasel.

My dad and I watched Benny Hill together when I was a boy, and we laughed as loud as we could.  After that show was over, I watched "Are You Being Served" and developed a liking for the late Wendy Richard.  The exchanges between John Inman, Trevor Bannister, and Arthur Brough kept me laughing for days.  I still watch AYBS whenever I get a chance. 

Monty Python is hard to beat, though.  The RAF skit is awesome!   :rofl   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rKYL0tW-Ek
