Romesh Ranganathan lands another huge new show after bumper year on TV

HE’S on virtually every channel from the BBC to ITV and Sky, now Romesh Ranganathan has bagged another show.

He’s returning to Sky, this time for a travelogue called Can’t Knock the Hustle which features the funnyman journeying around the globe.

The four-parter will air on Sky Max and NOW next year and will also feature footage from Romesh’s debut arena tour, Hustle.

Talking about his latest TV adventure, he said:  “Stand ups often deliver a show completely unchecked by logic.

“We decided to film a series exploring what I’d said on stage and whether I was right. This show confirms the suspicion that I often don’t know what I’m talking about.”

The mission will see him go from  India to the  US, South Korea to Canada interrogating, unravelling and debunking some of the theories he comes up with during his stand-up routines.

It’s described as essentially being a “fact check” of his own shows and is produced by Ranga Bee, the production house set up by Romesh.

They’re the company who already make his ITV gameshow, Parents’ Evening, featuring him with his mum, as well as BBC comedy Avoidance and Sky comedy Romantic Comedy.

But Romesh’s roster also includes The Weakest Link on BBC One and he’s just wrapped on the final series of the Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan on BBC Two.

And of course he’s just made the seventh series Rob and Romesh Vs, with his old chum Rob Beckett, whom he hosts the TV Baftas with.

Plus he’ll be back hosting sports panel show A League of Their Own, also on Sky from January 9.

I’m amazed he finds the time to leave the TV studio, let alone travel the world.
