An award presentation that never arrives
Scott attends the Attitude Awards and sits beside Rebecca Ferguson, who feels unwell and asks whether he can present her award if she leaves early. He agrees before asking which award or when it will happen.
For the next hour he waits tensely for his name to be called, but no request ever comes. The ceremony ends without Rebecca’s mysterious presentation, leaving Scott unsure whether the plan changed or never existed.
Romesh enters the wet area
Romesh Ranganathan visits ahead of the second series of Asian Provocateur, in which he travels through North America with his mother to meet relatives who left Sri Lanka. Scott and Chris expect a difficult opponent because Romesh is naturally funny without appearing easily impressed.
The clips gradually break through his deadpan expression. Romesh laughs, loses water and turns the studio into a reliably wet mess, which Scott treats as proof that making a comedian laugh is considerably more satisfying than entertaining an ordinary guest.
Hot jobs and Honey G
The new “hot jobs” discussion produces Jack, a 26-year-old gardener from Oxford. Scott immediately imagines a shirtless slow-motion television gardener, while Jack accepts the verdict and then chooses a Bangers winner.
Charlie Sloth joins Real or No Real and insists Honey G is a genuine rapper rather than a character. A supposed promise from Snoop Dogg to collaborate with her if she reaches The X Factor final sounds plausible enough to keep the argument running.
