Richard Thomas Osman (born 28 November 1970) is an English television presenter, producer and director. He is the co-presenter and creator of the BBC One television quiz show Pointless. He also presents the BBC Two quiz show Two Tribes and is a team captain on the comedy panel show Insert Name Here.
Osman worked at Hat Trick Productions before becoming creative director of the television production company Endemol UK, executive producing shows such as Prize Island for ITV.
Osman was born in Billericay, Essex, and grew up in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. His mother is a teacher. Osman attended Warden Park School in Cuckfield and studied Politics and Sociology at Trinity College, Cambridge (1989-1992), where he was a contemporary of Pointless co-presenter Alexander Armstrong, who read English Literature.
Since 2009, Osman has co-presented the BBC One teatime quiz show Pointless with host Alexander Armstrong, where he is jokingly known as Armstrong's "pointless friend". Having previously worked exclusively in behind-the-camera roles, Osman got the job as co-presenter/assistant when he pitched the idea for the show to a panel of BBC daytime heads, taking the role of the assistant in the demonstration. Bosses were impressed and decided to offer Osman the job.
The Germanic first or given name Richard derives from German, French, and English "ric" (ruler, leader, king) and "hard" (strong, brave), and it therefore means "powerful leader". Nicknames include "Dick", "Dickie", "Rich", "Richie", "Rick", "Ricky", "Rickey", and others.
"Richard" is a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch. It can also be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name.
Osman may refer to:
"Would I" is a song written by Mark Winchester and recorded by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released in September 1996 as the second single from the album Full Circle. The song reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
The music video was directed by Marc Kalbfeld and premiered in 1996.
"Would I" debuted at number 67 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for the week of October 5, 1996.
I Lie is a 1982 country music album by Loretta Lynn. The album's one single release, the title track "I Lie", proved to be the last Billboard solo country top ten record of Lynn's career.

The excellent Richard Osman talks about football, fame, friendships, and the future.... and of course, the fabulous BBC Quiz show, Pointless. Former TV Executives, Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs, expertly host the intereview. Given that this was aired on a sports radio station, there is a big sporting theme to most of the questions; but there is also a lot of info and comedy in this interview too. All in all, it should be an enjoyable listen for fans of the TV quiz show. ***At 5:26, the guys get into a deep soccer chat, at 7:51 they come back to the 'Pointless' chatter Originally broadcast on the Hawksbee and Jacobs show, talkSPORT Radio, 4th of Dec, 2012.
A new YouTube chat show with a twist - the interview lasts just 15 SECONDS! Hosted by Joe Lycett with a new episode released every Monday at 7pm. I'm on tour! Dates at http://www.joelycettcomedy.co.uk/live
