He says it's all about non-consensus and the sense of taking risks: the comedian Stewart Lee says he wants to prove comedy has an inherent artistic worth, and is not just a vehicle for commercial gain.

Awk this is so sweet, you can tell Jon Snow is a genuine fan of Stewart's, and of slightly obscure, old comedy, and wants to drop a few of those names to him to make a connection. Very nice.

Is Stew attempting to adopt some sort of disguise here? It's the only time I've ever seen him with his hair combed down in a fringe. Probably embarrassed to be appearing on C4 (or he was concealing a hideous boil on his forehead) Anyway, Sandi Toksvig has really let himself go.

The sad truth of the matter is British comedy used to take risks, now production companies have lost their nerve. TV production companies are now diverting more money into cheap reality TV formats and many assume audiences are stupid or not ready for a new kind of material. They need to take more risks in my view!

I had a mental crisis seeing such an egregiously accommodating Mr Lee bravely cracking on, trying to get his point across, his rhetorical prow gamely splitting the mindlessly rolling swells of channel 4 offal into flecked, foamy wings of frustrated occlusion, peeling back each successive thundering roll of turds, each its own attempt to turn aside his progress and founder his good ship upon the dingy rocks of undeserved Opprobium and rhetoric-whipped sea of undifferentiated spittoon juice. What's the use of keeping up the payments on such a body of excrement, besides to aerate it with hot air and vigorous pumping of the bowels, if not to attempt to drench someone with it and roll them around with it in some kind of foul alley, well lit for broadcast once in a while? Especially if they are trying to make people laugh. Yes, that kind of muck has no business here.

Comedians don´t make me laugh, they´re boring. They just go on and on and on. Stewart is about the only one I´ll listen to because he knows the truth, too, and tells it - these are not the days for comedians. Jimmy Carr, for example, I look at him with astonishment - he´s just not funny, he just talks grimly about himself and things and gives that hyena-like cackle. He must know he´s not funny surely?

A laugh is one of the few things that we cannot fake but nodding in dumb agreement to the codswallop Lee comes out with is easy.
