- Paul Merton (born Paul James Martin on 9 July 1957) is an English comedian, writer and actor. He is well known for his regular appearances as a team captain on the popular BBC panel game Have I Got News for You, as a regular panellist on Radio 4's Just a Minute and as one of Comedy Store's Comedy Store Players. He has also hosted Room 101 and ITV's improv show Thank God You're Here. Channel 4's Paul Merton: The Series, co-written and performed by Merton, achieved popularity in the early 1990s. His latest series is Five's Paul Merton in India, a documentary covering Merton's exploration of the cultural aspects of the country, which was commissioned after the success of Paul Merton in China. He has written several books, including the 1995 mock autobiography, My Struggle. Known for his cutting wit, his style is characterised by describing extremely improbable scenarios with a straight, almost serious, face. He rapidly grabs hold of any chance to expand on a subject and stretch its credibility to snapping point. In a recent public poll featured in The Guardian, he was voted alongside the likes of Oscar Wilde, Spike Milligan, Noël Coward and Winston Churchill as one of the ten greatest wits of all time. He also appeared in The Observer's "The A-Z of Laughter" in 2003, a special which featured the fifty funniest acts in British comedy by letter, while The Comedian's Comedian, a 2005 Channel 4 poll of fellow comedians, saw him voted among the top twenty greatest comedians in history. Merton has accumulated various awards during his career including BAFTA-, British Comedy- and Broadcasting Press Guild Awards.
- Paul Martin, beter bekend onder zijn artiestennaam Paul Merton, is een BAFTA-winnende komiek en schrijver. Hij is vooral bekend als teamcaptain in het BBC-programma Have I Got News For You en Whose Line Is It Anyway? van Channel 4. Zijn stijl wordt gekenmerkt door het met een stalen gezicht beschrijven van extreem onwaarschijnlijke gebeurtenissen. In 2003 stond hij op de lijst van 50 leukste acts in de Britse comedywereld in The Observer. In The Comedian's Comedian, een opiniepeiling onder komieken voor Channel 4 in 2005 was hij twintigste in de lijst van grappigste comedians in het universum. In een opiniepeiling in 2007 stond hij naast grootheden als Oscar Wilde, Spike Milligan en Winston Churchill als een van de grappigste mensen ooit.
