Richard Whiteley
John Richard Whiteley is an English presenter and journalist best known for his 23 years as host of the game Countdown. Countdown premiered on Channel 4 at 4:45 p.m. on November 2, 1982, and Whiteley was the first to be seen on the channel. Despite his intelligence, Whiteley prefers to portray the image of a distracted eccentric. Her hallmarks are her playful, lively, pun-like demeanor and her daring, sometimes showy wardrobe. Thanks to Countdown's more than twenty years of nightly contributions as well as his work on the Yorkshire Calendar program and many other television projects, by the time of his death Whiteley was believed to have watched more hours on screen. 10,000 appearances - anyone alive except Carole Hersee, the girl who appeared on the BBC F Test.
