The Russell Howard Show

The Russell Howard Show

The Russell Howard and Jon Richardson Show was a UK radio show on digital station BBC 6 Music that aired from 10.00am - 1.00pm on Sundays. It was presented by comedians Russell Howard and Jon Richardson. It follows the two from when they shared a flat, to when Jon purchased a house and moved out.

The two began hosting the show on 12 November 2006, taking over the slot vacated by comedian Russell Brand when he moved to Radio 2 on Saturday nights. Originally the show also featured the presenters' friend and fellow comedian Sam Thomas, who left in early 2007, occasionally appearing thereafter in recorded skits.

The show was replaced by The Jon Richardson Show, which ended on 7 March 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words russell, howard and/or show:

    “There is Hawthorne, with genius so shrinking and rare
    That you hardly at first see the strength that is there;
    A frame so robust, with a nature so sweet,
    So earnest, so graceful, so lithe and so fleet,
    Is worth a descent from Olympus to meet;
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    [When asked: “Will not woman suffrage make the black woman the political equal of the white woman and does not political equality mean social equality?”:] If it does then men by keeping both white and black women disfranchised have already established social equality!
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    Work—work—work,
    In the dull December light,
    And work—work—work,
    When the weather is warm and bright—
    While underneath the eaves
    The brooding swallows cling
    As if to show me their sunny backs
    And twit me with the spring.
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
