Obviously this man is the talk of all things showbiz at the moment and his name crops up in many threads. I'm too old for the Radio 1 so I'm not aware of his radio work but I've read that figures dropped when he took over from Evans. I have seen him on various TV shows and my impression lies somewhere between underwhelming to downright irritating and I don't think I've read a single post here or on other forums/comments of him being popular with the public. But he has friends in very trendy circles, despite not coming from the usual background, and seems to be the darling of TV atm so what has he got? What am I missing? Come on NG fans tell me why he deserves the bright future the media think he has.

He's an irritating, talentless prick!
Is that good enough? ;-)
looks quite even to me just butt ugly
Why not! since when did Cowell know anything about talent or good taste?
What is getting embarrassing is your obsession with getting someone to say something nice about the useless tosspot.
Why do you care so much, is your life really that empty, or maybe you are Nick Grimshaw ?
You may be the exception that proves the rule here...
I am an embarrassment and my life is emptier than Kerry Katonas bank account its true. So I amuse myself by coming on forums like this and posting on things that I believe are appropriate. On showbiz it's people in the showbiz news, on pets its, well, pets and so on. You see, I think I've just about managed to grasp how this thing works. What I try to do is be polite and not tell others what they should or shouldn't be doing. If I think a thread is a bit daft, and I frequently do, I just ignore it and move on. Enjoy the rest of your day.
He took over from Chris Moyles, not from Chris Evans. He goes up against Evans, as far as I'm aware.
Listening figures always drop when there's a new long-term host, but he's obviously doing well enough to stay in the slot.
Actually Moyles' figures rose when he first started.
I think NG is one of those people who likes to hang out with the IT crowd and as such the fans of those he hangs with then start to listen and follow him.
He certainly isn't doing the breakfast show because of any talent.
Touch'e! Good to see that you have a sense of humour.
All very cool for a short while, all get stuck in the minds of the public with a certain era.
All disappeared off the scene as time passes & regarded as naff relics from times past
I suspect Grimmy will go the same way. If you've alienated a vast swathe of the population you have a problem image wise. I honestly can't see him being a figure on the scene in 10 yrs time. Or even 5.
The "I represent yoof" schtick won't work when you're over 35 & Grimmy will be 31 soon.
Im also not sure how this XFActor thing will go.
Simon Cowell is a powerful & ruthless showbiz figure, if Grimmy is blamed for falling ratings Cowell will drop him like hot cakes.
As an aside: i find Grimmy CRINGY rather than cool. No definition of cool I've ever known involves relentlessly brown nosing celebs & telling cheesy lame ass jokes.
If his appeal is limited to that demographic, it would explain why he has few supporters on the DS forums...
That is all. 😉
Used to love listening to Moyles, but Grimshaw is not for me.
