Richard Osman on why he ‘stopped doing’ Child Genius
Richard hosted Child Genius on Channel 4 from 2016. It follows a group of rather clever children, competing in a series of tasks to gain the title of Child Genius.
In a recent episode on his podcast The Rest Is Entertainment, Richard recalled his time on Child Genius.
“In the end, I stopped doing it. The kids were amazing on that show,” he told co-host journalist Marina Hyde.
“They were just great and also, by the way, almost all the parents were great as well.”
Richard then joked: “Most of the parents were just sat there thinking what on earth have I got on my hands here.
“And some of the kids were super competitive. And the parents were also competitive too, and I liked hanging out with all of them.”
