Jack Whitehall's Sporting Nation preview
He does a decent job, an amusing and buoyantly positive host without pushing the comedy too hard, always good company if rarely laugh-out-loud funny. (though a wry comment about 'those who can't, host' is winningly self-deprecatory). It's a stepping stone to him being a bone fide presenter, rather than a jester on the sidelines.

Whitehall's humorous honesty on our sporting failures and achievements kept this potentially self-congratulatory series on the ground.
