Jon Richardson to join Absolute Radio
Comedian and star of Cats Does Countdown, Jon Richardson, will be joining Absolute Radio from Saturday September 7th
Absolute Radio has announced today that comic Jon Richardson is to join the station from September of this year. He鈥檒l be live every Saturday morning from 8am, either from Absolute Radio鈥檚 London studios or his very own home-built studio in his garden pub.
Jon Richardson is best known as a team captain on Channel 4鈥檚 Cats Does Countdown. He is also regularly in high demand as a guest and made several appearances on BBC One’s Have I Got News For You, The Graham Norton Show, The One Show, ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show, Channel 4’s Gogglebox and The Last Leg.聽
He can also be heard on podcast Down the Dog with good friend and fellow Absolute Radio presenter Matt Forde. They鈥檒l now both be appearing on the station on the same day, with Jon taking on Saturday mornings followed by Matt鈥檚 Rock 鈥榥鈥� Roll Football afternoon show.
Jon Richardson said: 鈥楽ince I was last on the radio the only DJing I get to do is in the car with my daughter, so I鈥檓 looking forward to hearing from bands who aren鈥檛 The Wiggles or Mr Farts. I鈥檓 incredibly excited about the opportunity to be part of people鈥檚 Saturday mornings and allowing my natural energy and enthusiasm for life to be shared with the Absolute Radio listeners. To have the opportunity to leave booby traps in the studio for Matt Forde to discover during his Rock 鈥檔鈥� Roll Football show is an added bonus I intend to grasp with both hands.鈥�
