Jimmy Carr first hosted his own TV show in 2002 with the comedy classic Your Face or Mine, where contestants had to rate the attractiveness of audience members to win money (which wasn’t as cruel as it sounds).

Jimmy’s longest running TV show - 8 Out of 10 Cats - has just completed its seventh successful series, and he’s earned himself a reputation as the UK's hardest working comedian with back-to-back comedy tours.
