Richard Osman Wiki
Osman started his career as an executive producer on British game programs like the satirical comedy 10 O’Clock Live and the Channel 4 comic panel game 8 Out of 10 Cats. When Pointless debuted in 2009, he and his former university classmate Alexander Armstrong served as the show’s co-presenters. He was the creative director at the TV production business Endemol UK when he pitched the show’s concept to the BBC.
He co-hosted the BBC One teatime quiz show Pointless from 2009 to 2023 alongside host Alexander Armstrong. He established the program where he is jokingly referred to as Armstrong’s “pointless friend”.

In 2020, Osman made the announcement that he was quitting Pointless on April 8, 2022, after 1,300 episodes spanning 30 series.
