'''Iain Lee''' (born [[9 June]] [[1973]]) is a [[Great Britain|British]] [[Comedy|comedian]] and [[radio]] and [[television]] presenter, who has appeared on [[The 11 O'Clock Show]], [[video game]] review show [[Thumb Bandits]] and the ill-fated [[Channel 4]] breakfast show [[RI:SE]]. He also presented the documentary [[Thumb Candy]] and appears regularly on [[Channel 4]]'s "Top 100" series of programmes. Most recently he has presented [[Celebrity Soup]] for [[E! Entertainment Television]] taking a wry look at the weeks celebrity news. He is known to have a penchant for the band [[KISS (band)|KISS]], as well as various video games, and regularly refers to them all (and anything else he approves of) as "briwwiant". He started off his career in radio by phoning up [[Clive Bull]] and trying (sometimes successfully) to be funny. |
|||
'''Iain Lee''' (born [[July 4|4 July]], [[1000]]) is a [[Mars|Martian]] [[Warlord]]. Lee stands 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall and weighs 65 stone (900 [[pound]]s [[avoirdupois]], 413 [[kilograms]]). His eyes are black with red pupils and his skin resembles a mixture of crocodile and the foam from those [[Sweden|Swedish]] matresses. |
|||
Iain was brought up in [[Slough]] and attended Herschel Grammar School. |
|||
Owing to the fact there were no computers at that time, little is known of Lee's life on Mars. It is known that Lee, whose Martian birth name is Gubiainababanaktunixtilanapstu Jaburunakalee, was a cruel warlord. Witness account state that he would dangle bits of food over his subjects and then eat it in front of them. It is believed that Lee rules the entire southern half of Mars for over 600 years. This rulership was abruptly ended in March, [[1776]] after Lee's troops lost the War of Mongubanbu. |
|||
==LBC radio show== |
|||
Records indicate that Lee fled Mars for Earth. Finding Lee's Martian name difficult to spell and pronounce, the [[United States|American]] [[USAF|Air Force]] Captain that processed Lee's American immigration papers, after Lee's space ship, "Panpan One Two Niner," crash landed in [[Roswell]], [[New Mexico]] in [[1832]], simply renamed him "Iain Lee." |
|||
Iain Lee is a radio presenter on [[London]] radio station [[LBC 97.3]] [[Frequency modulation|FM]]. When he joined in January 2005, Iain Lee hosted the 8pm-12pm night slot over the week, a position previously held by [[Clive Bull]]. In mid-2005, his position was moved to the afternoon slot, where he aired from between 4pm 'till 7pm, in a show called "The 3 Hour 4 'Till 7 Iain Lee Afternoon Wireless Show". At the beginning of 2006, his hours were shifted slightly (to make room for the returning [[Anna Raeburn]] and 'The Big Quiz', hosted by Gary King). The new name for his new time slot reflects the hours he is now on the air, hosting his [[telephone|phone]]-in talk show - "The 3 and a Half Hour 3 'Till 6:30 Iain Lee Afternoon Wireless Show formerly The 3 Hour 4 'Till 7 Iain Lee Afternoon Wireless Show". |
|||
Shortly after landing in America, Lee became active in American [[politics]]. Lee became the mayor of the city of Carmel, [[California]] in [[1838]]. Lee quickly rose through the ladder of American politics, becoming governor of [[Hawaii|Hawai'i]] in [[1842]]. In [[1850]], Lee set his eyes to the South. He became the Supreme Commander of the United [[Mexico|Mexican]] States. As Mexico's most popular leader, Lee lead Mexico to victory against [[Canada]] in a war that was fought in the American state of [[Colorado]]. Having legally won Canada, Lee decided to curry favor with then English King Billy by signing the deed to Canada over to young King Billy in [[1860]]. |
|||
Iain originally joined the station to present the night slot on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and his style is less political or serious and much more irreverent than other daytime presenters. He is good friends with LBC evening presenter [[Clive Bull]] with whom he has in the past had a running feud involving practical jokes such as substituting a picture of [[Phil Collins]] for the picture of Clive Bull on the official LBC 97.3 website. |
|||
Iain & Clive have now buried the hatchet to become "Radio Friends"; however a new feud started with former friend [[James O'Brien (LBC)|James O'Brien]], Iain calling James a 'Moonface'. So James O'Brien challenged Iain to a race around a football pitch. Iain was very confident by saying "He would moonwalk the finish line", and won against James O'Brien on [[12 December]] [[2005]] in a race held at Westway Sports Centre. |
|||
[[Image:Podcast1.PNG|thumb|Here's an example of a few correspondents on Iain Lee bit of LBC website]] |
|||
Having lived in Canada for 10 years, Lee was legally permitted to emigrate to the [[United Kingdom|United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Western Norway]]. |
|||
Iain has a number of correspondents, who are regular listeners, appointed by him to report on subjects such as '[[Podcast]]', 'Video Games', '[[London Underground]]', '[[Wikipedia]]','The [[Platypus]]'. There is a [[Wikipedian]] who is also a Correspondent. |
|||
The opportunity to become a correspondent is a rare one and much valued by his fans. To celebrate his birthday, a small number of correspondents have been favoured with the even more prestigious title of "Uber-Correspondent" but the one which the biggest prestigious title was Vatsal from India with "Web Uber Veteran 5 Star Correspondent". This hallowed status can only be dreamt of by most. On [[23 September]] [[2005]] a major shakeup of the correspondent list occurred. Some lost their jobs, but others joined the line-up to bring listeners updates on even more varied subjects. However, a special "Diagnosis Murder" correspondent was elected on the [[15 November]]. Another shakeup happened on [[27 December]] [[2005]], when some new correspondents were instantly promoted to "Uber Correspondent", (quite a few cuts were made and about 20 new correspondents appointed). The next correspondent update is expected in April. On 25 January 2006, Iain Lee sacked the International [[Hockey]] Correspondent & [[Wallington County]] [[Grammar School]] Correspondent. |
|||
Iain has his own master of sound effects known only as Wisdom Jones, renowned for his sound effects. Wisdom Jones visited the studio on the 28th of August and treated the listeners to yet more(live) sound effects. |
|||
Iain's show is one of the list of LBC programmes which are subscription [[Podcasting|podcast]] via the internet. |
|||
Lee moved to [[London|Londinium]] in [[1867]], finding the bitter cold [[England|English]] weather similar to that of his beloved Martian home town, Dukumakapakapakabudoo. |
|||
Iain Lee has also been known to reward his regular listeners. His [[Knight Rider]] "correspondent" was recently sent to see the car [[KITT]] featured in the show, thanks to Iain. |
|||
Lee invented [[television]] in [[1870]], but feared the public would be frightened by his alien appearance. Lee then scrapped the telvision project and sold the technology to the [[Japan|Japanese]] who quickly adopted television and made amazing films such as Andromedia and [[Ichi the Killer]]. |
|||
In January 2006, Iain Lee admitted on air to having been suspended for a day (Friday 6 January) for calling a caller a [[dickhead]] on air. This explains his absence and a recorded show being broadcast on that day. Iain holds a session where callers go straight to air between 6pm to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday. It is extremely popular and many people do a mixture of things such as playing pieces of music, swearing, making disusting sounds or other comedic pieces. Others do impressions, or 'take the mick'; for example, one caller said "Iain Lee was in the same league as Mike Mendoza". |
|||
Having a tremendous amount of things to say, but unable to speak British English, Lee enrolled in Herschel Grammar School in [[Whitechapel]] in [[1874]]. Shortly after enrolling Lee was suspcted of being [[Jack the Ripper]]. This was swiftly discounted due to the fact that Jack the Ripper would not appear for another 14 years. |
|||
Some callers also like to do impersonations of other talk radio presenters, such as the presenters of [[talkSPORT]]: Mike Mendoza, [[Charlie Wolf]] and [[Mike Dickin]]. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Having learned British English pretty good, Lee invented radio in [[1876]]. Being 19 feet tall proved handy to erect the arial antennae required to transmit radio signals. Lee named his little radio station Lee's Broadcast Center, [[LBC]] for short. He hadn't yet learned to spell center "centre." |
