It seems a bit incongruous that he’s retiring but also has a 9 month old baby
He’s left!?!? Love Jon Snow
What? He’s not doing any more shows?
Lord commander – Jon Snow
God, the quality of honest reporting that man did was heads and shoulders above anything the BBC has produced
Such a great journalist, seems like he’s a nice chap too. Hope he writes a book or something, sounds like he’s had a really interesting life
Jonny Sneachta lads.
Wow, what a beautiful thing to do. He really is a legend.
Had no idea he was leaving.
A more satisfying end than Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow.
I met him many years ago. He was lovely. So polite and friendly.
I like how the credits are formed vaguely in the shape of a “4”, too.
I remember watching him as a kid. It felt like I was watching grown up news for the first time. I can’t believe how little he has appeared to age since then.
Shout out to that time he was on a weed documentary and slagged off the researchers’ weed
Remember when he smoked weed and literally shat himself on TV? What a dumbass haha
Jon Snow pulling a whitey was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen bless him.
I always felt Jon Snow did his best to be impartial, I always had (have) a lot of respect for him as a broadcaster and journalist because of this
I’ll always remember that he was one of the few broadcasters to have the guts stand-up to the poppy police.
>“I am begged to wear an Aids ribbon, a breast cancer ribbon, a Marie Curie flower,” he wrote in a Channel 4 internet diary. “You name it, from the Red Cross to the RNIB, they send me stuff to wear to raise awareness, and I don’t.
“And in those terms, and those terms alone, I do not and will not wear a poppy.
“There is a rather unpleasant breed of poppy fascism out there — ‘he damned well must wear a poppy!’. Well I do, in my private life, but I am not going to wear it or any other symbol on air.”
For… uninteresting reasons a number of years ago I had his mobile number. Made the mistake of revealing this fact at a Christmas meal with friends, one of whom got so excited that she decided to steal my phone and call him on it. I prayed he wouldn’t answer, but he did, whence I grabbed it back and hung up.
Emailed him the next day to apologise. He replied that he thought she sounded delightful and hoped she would call again.
I hope he’ll still take part in the “Big Fat Quiz of The Year”
end of an era.
My mum said when she came to England as an immigrant she listened to Jon snow! This was around 2001 🙂
