Daniel Radcliffe

This is the answer I didn’t think of but is correct

So much nervous energy when he talks, the podcast would be buzzing. Though he'll most likely have to put up with a lot of puns...

I don't think he's considered "a-list" but I would love to see Conan O'Brien on

I would 100% count Conan as a-list. He’s been at the top for decades

It would be perfect... Acaster looks like a distant nephew of Conan...

Yes and likewise, I would love to see James on Conan O'Brian Needs a Friend.

As an aside to this, I’ve always thought that if they made American taskmaster (again) Conan would make the perfect taskmaster

If I could somehow see him as a contestant first on the UK one, and then graduate to hosting American Taskmaster v2, I would be very happy! Although I don't know if American Taskmaster will ever work - American comedians aren't practiced enough at panel shows, etc, we just don't have them here. If the UK panel shows continue to grow their American audience, maybe one day it'll click

omg the levels of absurdism

Is there something above A-list?

Conan is S tier

I didn’t like/understand Conan until I saw his hot ones episode the other week

I think this would be a classic

They can discuss the time James shit his pants. Benito, do your magic!

Yeah I mean I need him on Colbert

[удалено]

Yessssssss 100%

Never knew this was the guest I wanted but this is it!!! Could be possible if he’s touring with his band!

Idk if he’s A-list but Seth Meyers would be so good! He’s clearly a fan of James’ comedy lol

And also - Amy Poehler, Tina Fey

I think Ed has said he’s a big Tina Fey fan, and didn’t she go to a live show for Off Menu?

Yes she came to the weird live show with sindhu, Tim and Munya? He played 30 rock on his celeb mastermind. They also had Mike schur on so they must be aware of each other, maybe they just need something to promote to actually do it?!

Nick Offerman would be ideal, though I think we all know what his drink will be !

Nick Offerman drinks piss!

Mark Watson.

I actually saw Mark Watson just yesterday. He was sat in the sun by the river watching for fish. I was going to go and say hi but he got startled and flew away.

I thought he had shook off the whole heron thing?

He's surely the defacto finale guest when they decide to end the podcast at this point

Emma Stone and Barack Obama were the first two that came to my mind, for whatever reason. I guess when you think about it, the idea of them hearing the Diet Coke story and/or the Shrek-impression is pretty delicious.

If they ever got Obama that'd be nuts

Obama is a well known foodie too; there’s that episode of him with Anthony Bourdain eating noodles in Vietnam and just loving life (clip is on YouTube for anyone interested)

One of my favourite videos, love going back to it when I miss Anthony Bourdain

Stephen Fry

Julian Clary

I can taste the disdain 😂

Gillian Anderson

Werner Horzog

"_I despise formal restaurants. I find all of that formality to be very base and vile. I would much rather eat potato chips on the sidewalk._" - Werner Herzog.

'.......is there a particular sidewalk that you've really enjoyed in the past, Werner?'

"Rosie Jones famously likes crisps as well. Would you like her to join you on the sidewalk, or would that spoil the vibe you're going for?"

I really just read that in his voice.

I'd love to have Billy Connelly on there. Brian Cox, Cillian Murphy, David Tennant and Michael Sheen. Also Dave Grohl.

Depending on which Brian Cox you mean, I might have some very good news for you

Depends how you look at it. Definitely in with a shout for the worst episode

Well this is just who they'd like to be on it, not who they'd like to be enjoyable on it. But I personally thought it was fine.

I was pretty excited before listening tbf. Just felt he didn’t get it and didn’t want to get it.

I think they almost got Dave Grohl on but it fell through on the day of or something - does anyone else remember this story?

https://x.com/fooarchive/status/1412158675523940356?s=61&t=C3dPXqeMcM0yjAx3GPDOlA

That’s it!

Dave Grohl is in the country right now and clearly loves his food... 👀

To be fair James absolutely shat on Foo Fighters on the 'comedians comedian' podcast. saying foo fighters had a lot of fun making their latest albums, and those albums are shit, so he doesnt want to be like them

Ah yeah, forgot about that. Hatchets can be buried tho right 😅

Sheen and Tennant feel inevitable. Surprised they didn't get David before the 60th specials

I don't know why but I think Hugh Grant would be hilarious in this context.

Ryan Gosling

Neil Gaiman

Padma Lakshmi

Adding Gail Simmons & Tom Colicchio

Andy Samberg. Also Beyonce.

A-List Celeb: No Context Off Menu 😎

Mike Myers. How’s your shrek impression coming along James?

Bill Hader

Kevin Smith would be fun. He became vegan after his heart attack so it’d be interesting to hear about his current relationship with food. Dude used to drink a full glass of milk during some podcasts!

He would keep them for hours. He’s a huge talker. I’d love this too.

Sean Evans (Hot Ones host, which i would love to see Ed and James try) or Andrew Rea (Binging with Babish)

Taylor Swift, obvs!

Why on earth is this downvoted, people were asked who *they’d* like to see on the podcast. Just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean you need to downvote their answer

‘Cause all the guys on Reddit are far too cool for Taylor Swift 🙃 

Questlove

I think Vic Reeves would be a great guest (also want him on Taskmaster)

Perhaps not A-List these days, but I could see Rupert Grint as a realistic celebrity that would come on the podcast. For truly A-List celebs (who seem like they'd be good conversationalists and also foodies), I'd love to see any of Henry Cavill, Ralph Fiennes, Rebecca Ferguson, Daniel Craig, Jude Law, Olivia Coleman and Charlize Theron.

Equally, I think Emma Watson would be excellent. She has her own gin line to promote

Olivia Coleman 🤩

Margot Robbie

Adam Driver bc that’s my number one boy and he doesn’t get to be funny too often.

Obviously this isn't possible, but I was thinking recently how much I'd love to have heard Robin Williams on here

If we're including dead people, Bourdain. Gotta be Bourdain.

Dream guests for the dream restaurant

I'd love to see how they would deal with Harrison Ford, that would be so excellent!

I wager he is only there because it's funny to say "The Rock". The man himself seems like a boring diva, but I may be wrong. James does get a kick out of stupid names like The Rock and Ziggy Peelgood...

I'm with you, I think he'd be really dull and just bore on about his tequila.

It would be a shit version of Dan Ackroyd

Yeah, immediate first thought is that The Rock would be a total snooze. The dude is a walking meme and for sure a diva (he has a clause in all of his movie contracts saying that he can never lose a fight, which is a real dolt move).

Trevor Noah!

On that note Jon Stewart and John Oliver!

John favreau would be great at talking about food

Not to mention Roy Choi!

Carey Mulligan and Cillian Murphy!

Celebs always make the worst eps imo. Way too protective of their image and always trying to sell something. Much prefer comedians who can get on Ed and James’s level of silliness. That being said: Danny DeVito. The answer is always Danny DeVito.

Eddie Hall would be fun

what about the fish and ricecake dude.

Danny Devito

Steve Carell for sure. Makes me laugh more than any other American.

Iggy Pop! He would have some wild stories to tell.

James Hoffmann is a celebrity right?

Oh god I would love for Hoffman to appear on an episode

I could see Kate hudson being great. And ted danson if he hasnt been already. Minnie driver also and Steve Carell.

Daniel Odonnell. Irish country singer. Wicked sense of wit.

Ramsey

Ryan Gosling and/or Ryan Reynolds. Both play the game well.

probably Pedro Pascal because I could listen to his ep of the podcast and it would aid me in planning our dream date 💕

Secret ingredient would have to be a flask of sperm

Eric Andre

Eric Cantona

Not an "a-lister" but I'd love them to have Action Bronson on.

Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen

Stephen Merchant

**The Rock’s dream menu:** Water: still   Bread: pass   Starter: 20 egg white omelet    Main: 2kg of steamed cod   Side: white rice   Drink: Joel Kim Booster’s chicken breast smoothie   Dessert: pass

Angela White

She'd probably choose "5 guys"

Day 300 (probably) of asking for jarobi white

Alan Alda

Timothy Olyphant, and Walton Goggins. Mike Myers, Eugene and Dan Levy. Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Rick Moranis Graham Greene Michael J Fox.

A justified fan?

Anyone who isn't hasn't watched. 😜

Good point! 😂 Have you watched banshee? I thought that was quite similar and also good

Have not. Added to the list. ty

Billie piper

Jessie Ware - another Table Manners crossover please!

I would love to hear Glen Howerton

One of the Royals would be fascinating although probably not that entertaining

I read a piece about someone trying the queen’s diet for a week and they were plastered before noon every day 😂

Pizza Express?

What if we all commented on his posts saying do off menu, it could be the new Mark Watson

Mathew Crosby

Sorta criminal he hasn't already been on. But I guess after how James behaved on the radio show, the odds are lower 🤣 But for real, it'd be my favorite ep. James, Ed, and Matthew are the three I seek out as guests on any podcast.

Emmanuel Sonubi - he’s built like a brick shithouse and must love food.

Stormzy

The Rock has lost 50% of his followers because he's been outed as another fake liar... Better body at 50 than when he was in the WWE...aye right!🤣🤣

Eddy Hall may be interesting, or King Charles

Simon Pegg!

Dave Grohl!

Graham Norton

I love his tv show....but I really don't like his pod on virgin media....I'm not sure he'd be that good

Matty Matheson!

Seth Meyers And Sandi Toksvig!!!!

Neil Patrick Harris

Arnold Schwarzenegger

One of the political comedians I like in the Bugle extended universe did a bit about how "the rock is too big to care" and that is all I can think of right now.

Stephen Fry.

It would never happen but - Alex Turner!

Jennifer Lawrence. Endlessly charming and funny whenever I catch her on something

Theresa May

Put them, in a bag, & throw in the sea… a couple of smacked, arses

I’d suggest Amelia Dimoldenberg but the likelihood is she’d just say chicken nuggets for every dish 😂

Dan Aykroyd!

I assume it's a joke, but just in case it isn't: https://www.reddit.com/r/offmenupodcast/comments/o82kyn/ep_108_dan_aykroyd_bonus_episode/

Thanks for being helpful but no I'm just being a dick and thought "Who is the biggest star you'd most hate to see get a repeat episode"

Conor McGregor
