He was asked to write, sing, and perform on the comedy series The Milk Run by BBC Radio 1 in 2004. Additionally, Howard has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 shows Political Animal and Banter, which are both hosted by Andrew Collins. In a Sunday morning slot previously held by Russell Brand, Russell co-hosted The Russell Howard Show on BBC Radio 6 Music with fellow comedian Jon Richardson from November 2006 to July 2008. The show kept on broadcasting, without Howard, until Walk 2010. He has since explained that the primary reason he left the show was that he finds radio to be “really restrictive” and that “you can’t gauge a reaction on the radio.”
Russell was dispatched to make a parody show considered Russell Howard’s Uplifting news, focused on under-25s, for BBC Three. The primary episode circulated on 22 October 2009 and the show ran for seven episodes as well as a “best of” show and a Christmas Exceptional. It went on to become the entertainment series on BBC Three with the highest ratings ever. He discussed both the most significant news stories of the week and some of the more lighthearted ones during the show. Two more series of the show were appointed, with the subsequent series beginning on 25 Walk 2010. On September 27, 2012, the seventh series premiered on BBC Three. Series 8 started on 25 April 2013 on BBC Three, and series 9 began broadcast in its new home on BBC Two in October 2014.
On February 9, 2013, as part of the celebrations for the channel’s tenth anniversary, Russell Howard’s Good News won the award for the Best Ever BBC Three program. Howard, who also co-wrote the hour-long comedy-drama A Gert Lush Christmas for BBC Two, made his acting debut in December 2015. Howard portrayed Dan Colman, who travels with his girlfriend to Bristol to spend Christmas with his family. Kerry, Howard’s sister, appeared in the film as Dan’s sister Julie. Howard made an appearance on the BBC 1 panel show Room 101 on March 10, 2016.
On his BBC show in March 2016, Howard called Conservative MP Philip Davies an “arsehole,” “windbag,” “wanker,” and “toad-faced hypocrite.” He also said that the MP was filibustering (talking out a bill). Davies whined on the grounds of “mistake” and “deception” and the BBC had to distribute in the Explanations and Redresses part of the BBC site expressing “Davies didn’t actually go through constantly accessible for the discussion and that very nearly three hours stayed after he plunked down”.
Howard was likewise found to have distorted Davies’ perspectives on handicapped individuals and the BBC noticed “that the program didn’t completely address his remarks, which were, that it would be to the greatest advantage of impaired individuals, and others, to be permitted to propose to work for not exactly the lowest pay permitted by law, assuming the option were no work by any stretch of the imagination”. Due to their misrepresentation of Davies’ position, the broadcaster also agreed not to air the episode again. Davies later tried to escalate the complaint again, but the BBC Trust turned it down.
