Maybe he could refer back to his comedy roadshow and feature a breakthrough / new(ish) to TV comedian. I seem to recall his comedy roadshow was one of the first times I'd seen John Bishop, who back then wasn't his headline act but one of the first acts of the evening.

I’m pretty sure the Big Show did used to have a guest comedian as part of the line up for the first few series as well as more of a variety show line up on the whole. It’s now basically just NHP and SNT style features, which is basically what’s needed on Saturday nights.
