The best breakfast show host, such a good show. They always pair him up with a dimwit, his past British co host was a love-to-hate-him idiot, but now they have him with an Australian co host that each week shines a new talent through, he is a brilliant dimwit. I'm looking forward to seeing the show develop further.
