- John Richard Whiteley, OBE DL (28 December 1943 – 26 June 2005), usually known as Richard Whiteley, was an English television presenter and journalist. He was famous for his twenty-three-years as host of Countdown, a letters and numbers arrangement game show broadcast most weekdays on Channel 4. An edition of Countdown was the launch programme for Channel 4 at 4:45 pm on 2 November 1982, and Whiteley was the first person to be seen on the channel, discounting a programme montage. Despite being a highly intelligent man, he enjoyed projecting an image of an absent-minded eccentric. His trademarks were his jolly, avuncular manner; his fondness for excruciatingly bad puns; and bold wardrobe, particularly jackets and ties.
- Richard Whiteley OBE, de son vrai nom John Richard Whiteley était un présentateur de télévision britannique. Il était l'un des deux présentateurs principaux de l'émission Countdown pendant 23 ans, avec Carol Vorderman. Il était d'abord présentateur de nouvelles sur ITV et avait sa propre émission Twice Nightly Whiteley.

Il est mort en 2005 à cause d'une septicémie qui a provoqué une endocardite.
