The Russell Howard Hour review
From puppyish stand-up to spiky satire.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 22nd September 2017Preview - The Russell Howard Hour
This is a show in which comedian Russell Howard takes a light-hearted look at the news this week. Sound familiar?
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 21st September 2017Russell Howard's first series since he took the Sky shilling finds the comedian offering his take on the week's major stories. This doesn't sound a million miles from Howard's Good News show for the Beeb, but at the very least it will be intriguing to see if he can sustain laughs through a longer running time. Over 14 episodes, we're promised celebrity guests, expert comment and "fledgling global correspondents", whoever they may be.
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 21st September 2017Russell Howard interview
"I have seen first hand how hard NHS staff work - yet we value reality TV stars more".
Mark Jefferies, The Mirror, 19th September 2017
