Taking over from DJ Greg James

Katherine Ryan is to take over as the host of Comedy Central’s clip show Most Ridiculous.

The comic – who already fronts several shows on the channel – will be providing the voiceover for viral footage harvested from the internet.

She takes over from DJ Greg James, who voiced the first three seasons.

Series four launches on Comedy Central Extra at 8pm on July 3, before airing on the main channel the following morning. 

The first episode revolves around adrenaline junkies, featuring ‘stupid skateboarders, brain dead BMXers and moronic motorbikers’.

Ryan also co-hosts Your Face Or Mine and Roast Battle on Comedy Central, both with Jimmy Carr. 

She also has two  Netflix stand-up specials, In Trouble and Glitter Room and is team captain on the streamer’s panel show The Fix. She also has a sitcom in the pipeline for Netflix, the Duchess, about a ‘fashionably disruptive’ single mother living in London.

• Comedy Central has also bought the rights to Al Murray’s Great British Pub Quiz. Originally made for UKTV’s Quest network last year, the 20 episode series kicks off at 9pm on July 7 with Phill Jupitus and Kerry Godliman the celebrity guests in episode one.
