Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis present a mix of stand-up, sketches and songs.
Marcus Brigstocke used to have a regular stand-up spot on the show, but with his busy schedule the stand-up section is now mainly delivered by a guest comedian. For a number of years the letters and emails were read out by Jon Holmes, and music came from Mitch Benn, however these slots are now taken by a revolving cast of comedians.
Jon Culshaw normally acts as guest presenter when one of the hosts can't make it. For example Hugh Dennis was absent from Series 41.
During the General Elections, the show re-names itself The Vote Now Show.
