The Jon Richardson Show

The Jon Richardson Show was a weekly radio show on BBC 6 Music, which was created due to the departure of Russell Howard from The Russell Howard Show, which Jon Richardson co-hosted with Russell. The show was broadcast on Sundays 10am - 1pm. It was co-hosted by Matt ("Fordie") Forde, who usually joined Jon at 12pm.

On Sunday 7th February 2010, Richardson announced that after three and a half years on 6 Music, he would be leaving the station after the March 7th show. He said he didn't want "to get typecast as a DJ", as he is a comic.

On Sunday 7th March, the last show aired.
