would i lie to you has great people but isn't very good. I think it's just that the guests are often people off the apprentice and other poo poo tier notables, because it can be good if they have good guests. The best one I saw was bob mortimer telling a rambling story about getting arrested while trying to find the gulf stream and wearing a halloween mask for warmth truth.

i think they sometimes make up poo poo to make interesting truths and yea usually there's one guest who feels like they shouldn't be there

Rob is a lot better on wilty than he is on qi, agreed.

I liked hennig vein or whatever but he isnt regular enough to rank just like coren, get over it.

I have it on good authority that thomas bbc is keeping a close eye on this list for future bookings.

Rob Brydon starred in a little known show call Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive which was about him being a failed panel show host.

It's really good you should watch it.

What is the deal with ricky gervais? I like his standup but nothing he did was that great aside from that, he supposedly wrote some great stuff sold by better actors (sir ian mckellen on acting) but i half sispect stephen merchant is behind that. We should be glad hes not on the panel show circuit hed be worse than the cancer that killed him famil.

Stephen Merchant probably did have more to do with the success of Extras/The Office than Ricky since absolutely everything Ricky has done solo has been completely loving dire. Completely awful, horrendous poo poo. He was literally the worst part of the XFM shows/podcasts aswell.

Panel Shows aren't really hugely indicative of how funny people can be. Some do worse than others, and non-British people tend to not really get them.

I saw Katherine Ryan when she first went to the Edinburgh Fringe and her show was brilliant.

Yeah but I felt bad not having any women in the good tiers... :/

Victoria Coren (-Mitchell) should at least be mid-tier. She can be top tier on her night.

Also that Irish bird that is now intermittently on all the panel shows and Sarah Pascoe. Both surely mid-tier.

Rich Hall should be in god tier, if only for that completely different program where he called Miley Cyrus lots of rude names shortly before this became a popular activity.

I'm not clear whether Katherine Ryan is basically a FYAD poster who really inhabits her role, or if she is actually batshit crazy but has turned it into a career as a comedian (see also Sarah Silverman?). I assumed the former but then seeing her on Room 101 (there was nothing else on) I wasn't so sure.

Katherine Ryan had really push parents who basically made her enter child pagents when she was a kid and such so she's probably slightly hosed up from that. She's a little bit crazy and is really into certain conspiracy theories, but mainly to do with weird celebrity deaths.

I'd bump up Dara to top tier personally. He was great in the earlier episodes. It was great when he was retroactively docked points for his answer on the triple point of water.

Theyre pretty popular in australia too. we even had our own buzzcocks knock off for about ten years.

Also yeah dara goes to top tier. he's a know it all but keeps his answers funny and doesnt piss on forever about byzantine pottery or whatever like some of the other "smart" guests
