He quickly rose to prominence, becoming a staple of British television as the long-time host of Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year.Known for his willingness to test the boundaries of political correctness, Carr is one of the UK’s most popular live acts, frequently touring sold-out shows worldwide.
