...without Paul Merton made me realise how little the lad actually contributes to the show these days. He used to be really good, but now just coasts along and then no doubt picks up a nice fat cheque at the end of the show.
Frank Skinner isn't the comedian Paul can be, but at least he went out of his way to be funny.

I agree, he's been resting on his laurels recently ........ Hislop on the other hand never fails to amuse me.

I think Skinner did a very good job as a stand in.

He doesn't get involved as much as he use to but when he does it's still brilliant!!!! :coool:

I think it's got a lot to do with Hislop getting funnier though!!!! :coool:

But taking nothing away from Frank Skinner....he was cushty!!!! clappp

The introduction was brilliant aswell this week....

Jack Dee....'With Paul Merton Tonight is a Priest and close family but please don't let that spoil your enjoyment of the show'!!!! :laugh:

I thought this was a thread about Craig Hignett?
