Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver’s paths have gone in very different directions. I’m sure Richard Herring has had other ‘less successful halves the double act’ on his podcast, but I’m struggling to remember which ones. Adam Buxton! Of course. Joe Cornish might not exactly be a household name but he’s doing alright for himself. It is quite funny to hear Richard Herring repeatedly insist that he’d rather have his career than Stewart Lee’s and he’s not at all bitter about it.
There was a time when Rob Newman looked like he was eating out of a dustibin, but he seems okay now.
