You only have to watch Celebrity Mastermind to realise that it doesn't take brains to be a celebrity - or a presenter.

Richard Osman is very bright isn’t it and comes across as a ‘good bloke’. He’s very entertaining on Twitter

I like to watch Richard Osmans House of Games and the lack of general knowledge from some of the youngish presenters who have been on it is shocking.As for their spelling skills,the less said the better!

The general knowledge and information of all Radio and TV presenters is generally inadequate with poor interview skills. Too many focused on being celebrities . My bouquet would go to Shelagh Fogerty on LBC. No one else comes close imo.

Sometimes they're so ignorant that you have to wonder how they got their jobs!

I'd have thought that good general knowledge was essential.

Listening to local radio this morning two presenters were talking about various news items. The first one mentioned that scientists had discovered there had been a "big bang" thousands of light years away from us

2nd presenter: well you know what happened after the first big bang

1st presenter: what?

2nd presenter: it wiped out the dinosaurs!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could say she was joking but based on her previous comments I'm afraid she wasn't.
