This is one programme which I never watched as I absolutely hate Chris Evans. He's just awful and not even funny.

It used be on youtube but can't find it now

He was on his show a couple of years ago and they seemed fine, so whatever they had it's been put aside

But didn't he say something about Meg as well?

Thanks! It's around the 7 minuite mark if anyone doesn't want to watch the whole video (don't blame you). Not my humour that's for sure

I watched that sketch at the time and it bombed.

They cut the bit at the end where no-one laughed and Evans had to say "it's what everybody's saying!"

I stopped watching TFI after that.

I don't know if there has ever been a more irritating man on earth than Chris Evans.

I genuinely try to avoid Chris Evans at all costs. Be it, TV, radio, even in the street if I saw him.

Although, I never listen to the radio these days, when I used to I would never tune in to Chris Evans's crap breakfast show on Virgin Radio.

Ahah yeah indeed. But we have to remember that at the end of 1996, Oasis was basically the biggest selling band on earth. They had played two nights in Knebworth, they were starting to be known all across the world, by different generations.
And the hype in 1997 didn't calm down. The album was marketed like it was gonna be the Sgt Pepper's of the 90's, the brothers were everywhere, evening news of different countries were opening by hyping the future release of Be Here Now (unthinkable thing today, even for mainstream artists like Dua Lipa or Ed Sheeran). At that point, people weren't expecting a WTSMG part II but an even bigger album.
It says a lot that after releasing a 7 minutes long coked up colossal rock tune as the lead single, people still went crazy and massively bought the album in its first week of release (1/10 of the album total global sales were already sold in the UK after the first week only).

So it was bound to be considered an absolute failure by some mediocre journalists, the same ones who were considering Gallaghers like geniuses two years before. Only because it didn't reach the success of Morning Glory. Great example of opportunism, sadly.
