[Kim Wexler’s Ponytail]

Actually The Big Breakfast and Chris Evans kind of started the idea of hosts not doing the full week with him cutting down to three then two days a week after a year.  I hated it then too, and for whatever reason when Chris left they were very reluctant to give Mark Little the role full time.

 
I still remember the crushing disappointment I felt as a kid tuning in and being greeted by Paul Ross!. When Chris started appearing less is when the ratings started to slide. Nobody should become so egotistical to believe they're bigger than the show but it's also true that these shows need solid familiarity to sell it.
