Television
Jupitus was one of the panellists on the first TV episode of the show Loose Talk, which made a brief transition to television in 1994. His break came in 1996 when he joined BBC Two's pop quiz, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, as a regular team captain - having appeared in every single episode, except for Season 25, Episode 6. He also frequently appears on QI as a guest panellist; during the vodcast for one 2007 episode, he provided a Dalek impersonation and also has a history of mimicking the host of QI, Stephen Fry, while on the show.
In December 1999, he had the lead role in Dark Ages, an ITV sitcom parodying preparations (and fears) for the year 2000 in the setting of Essex 999AD.

“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
