Happy 60th Birthday

After that embarrasing USA road trip show with his weirdo son, ITVs brown-nosing deification of Walsh continues apace.
He's just a mediocre shiny suited 1980s comic who, like many slebs on downward career trajectory,
was kicked into the wasteland of afternoon quiz shows , now he's in the running as a National Treasure.
Am I missing his appeal ?

I don't mind him either can't imagine anyone else presenting The Chase and he can be quite funny sometimes.
Apparently he makes around £3-5m a year from the Chase and his other TV stuff and has his own production company that makes millions too, so he can't be on that much of a downward trejectory.

I think the OP may be referring to the hour-long special on ITV last night to "honour" Bradley, I have to admit the programme was underwhelming. However, that doesn't mean that Mr Walsh lacks talent. The programme was no doubt intended as a "filler" and showed a lack of effort and commitment by the makers.
Personally, I like the guy. The Chase i9s good entertainment.

BW seems like a nice genuine guy, pretty funny, there are plenty of other celebs more deserving of your hatred imo :-)

What you appear to be missing is all the other strings to his bow.He's just a mediocre shiny suited 1980s comic who, like many slebs on downward career trajectory,

He's had numerous parts as an actor in TV and film going back years and still does.
He's had a best selling album just a couple of years ago.
He presents the most popular TV quiz show.
Yeh, he's done and dusted.
I don't see anything weird about his son either,in fact it's nice to see a father and son get on so well

Have you met him in person?I have.
He’s a just a thoroughly normal down to earth bloke which is why he probably comes across as a bit boring to some and yet totally likeable to others.
Gets my vote as there’s no hang ups, no hidden agenda. Seems very genuine and unassuming but also quietly very witty and sharp.
Could have made it as a pro footballer if it wasn’t for injuries, talented stand up who worked his way up the ladder, accomplished actor and a best selling album as a singer.
Seems like a genuine nice bloke who has a lot of time for his family too.
The show for his 60th was obviously just filler as material is limited during Covid but accept it as that.

Missed the bit in the OP about ITV pushing him towards National Treasure status. It’s a good point actually.
Hopefully he will be astute enough to body swerve this as it never seems to end well. Robbie Williams and Cheryl Cole from a few years back, more recently Harry Rednapp and to a lesser extent Scarlett Moffat all outstayed their various welcomes very quickly. The likes of Holly Willobooby, Philip Schofield and Amanda Holden all seem to be desperately hoping to be inducted but the public can smell the desperation. The only successful example I can think of is Ant & Dec.
My advice to Bradley Walsh: keep your head down for a bit mate!
