not as a host but then he's reading from an autocue so the jokes aren't his. I always find him funny when he's being himself though on BOTS or wherever. Also, he was absolutely hilarious as a HM, especially in BB2

Yes I do at times.
Is he supposed to be particularly funny as the host of the show? |

Well he does attempt humour a lot. His style of hosting is based on humour so how good a host he is probably relates to whether or not he is funny.

As Niamh said, this is a heavily scripted show though. The live audience are quite a distance from him and all making a noise cheering for their favourites or booing so they won't react to his jokes.

he's reading from an auto cue though so I don't get your reasoning here, I find him very funny when he's speaking as himself so he's obviously a whole lot funnier than whoever writes his lines

What about the jokes he makes when interviewing evictees. Is that scripted too or are those jokes his own?

HE was funny as a HM but not as a host. For those who support him as host and say he's only reading from autocue - He's hardly the most professional and polished host - I still find it amazing that after two years he still struggles to end interviews properley and fumbles counting down into breaks so exactly why is he there if not for his humour? Good hosts are pretty easy to find and he's certainly not one of the better ones.
Lets face it, they made a mistake hiring him. Emma, Alice or Jamie East would be a much better host even Rylan would probably bring more to the job than BRian. He's way overachieved in his presenting career

Only C5 know why he's on his 2nd contract. It baffles me. I wont even mention the question he asked Frankie on Wednesday that he answered for him. I nearly fell off the chair laughing at that one. Do people actually think he is one of the best presenters around? Really? based on what? his amatuerish style, his inablility to pick up on points and ask follow up questions, his constant failure to end interviews on time. He's not very good when compared to other presenters who are slick, who can think on their feet, who can be humorous and probing.

Give him BOTS, Emma's such a lightweight.
Then new presenter with more presence and substance for the live show. |

I more laugh at the things he says which aren't meant to be a joke when he is presenting... But sometimes he does come out with some cringey yet funny stuff like in BB13 when Lauren was evicted she said;
'You can't fancy one of the lads' to which he replied 'You can...' |

He's an awful host, very irksome. Emma should be the main host really.

He was funny in Big Brother, but not as the host. It's all cue cards etc.

Not funny at all, he just doesn't seem natural like Davina did, didn't even seem like she was reading an autocue

I can't vote on that. Because as a housemate? He's one of the most funny men alive. I'm sorry but in UBB, I found myself laughing constantly at him on the live feed.
As a host? He makes me want to kill myself, painfully unfunny and words can't describe how much I hate the morons who write his script.
