During the Attitude Awards, Paul Sinha, also known as The Sinnerman on The Chase, couldn't resist poking fun at his fellow Chasers' nicknames. As he hosted the event, he playfully joked about how he was the only one not named after a sex toy, unlike his co-stars who go by names like The Dark Destroyer and The Beast.
The 54-year-old comedian admitted that his nickname was "s***" and that he felt lucky to have avoided a potentially embarrassing moniker. He then went on to introduce himself to the audience, acknowledging that those who are not familiar with the show may not know who he is. He joked that his real name is Paul Sinha, but he's better known as The Sinnerman.
Paul's humorous banter continued as he shared that he had done extensive research to come up with his joke about his co-stars' nicknames. He playfully added that the other Chasers were given names that sounded like sex toys, much to the delight of the audience.
Interestingly, it seems that the Chasers have no say in their own nicknames, as revealed by Darragh Ennis, who joined the show as The Menace. He shared that he only found out about his nickname during the filming of his first episode. Despite this, he was just happy to be a part of the show and would have been fine with any name, even if it meant wearing a chicken suit.
Last month, viewers of The Chase were left in shock over what they deemed as the "dumbest question ever" in the show's 15-year history. The question was about Kourtney Kardashian's Twitter handle, and the contestant easily answered it, leaving the audience and host Bradley Walsh surprised.
Besides the regular show, The Chase also has celebrity charity spin-offs and has been airing on ITV since 2009, with 17 seasons to date. The quiz show sees contestants pitted against a professional quizzer, also known as the Chaser, who tries to prevent them from winning a cash prize.
The Chase has become a household favorite and has a dedicated fan base. It's available for streaming on ITVX, making it easily accessible for viewers. Whether it's the witty banter between the Chasers or the nail-biting rounds, the show never fails to entertain. And who knows, maybe we'll see a new addition to the Chaser line-up in the future.
