So please welcome a man that sees laughter lines when Osmeer Mortals see headlines.

It's the newshound himself, Russell Howard.

Good morning, Russell!

Hello, everybody. What a lovely introduction. The news hound. What a great name. I'll take that.

You're the comedy newshound, my friend. But of course, the best comedy all starts with the truth, don't it?

Yes, often. Yeah. So when you do, when you open with your monologues, you know, one could describe them as you know, Ben Elton-esque or Bill Hicks-esque, right?

But they're funny. So you're raging and you're funny at the same time. How the heck do you do that?

Well, just because I love it. I kind of, also, I've spent all of lockdown writing jokes about the world because it's my

favorite thing to do.
