Since 2007 he has been a team captain on Would I Lie to You?, for which he won multiple BAFTAs including Best Male Comedy Performance. He has compered at Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond and Platinum Jubilee concerts, hosted the 2022 Royal Variety Performance, and competed on series 11 of Taskmaster in 2021.
