BiographyPaul James Martin (born 9 July 1957), known by the stage name Paul Merton, is an English comedian who is best known as one of the two regular panellists on the television show Have I Got News for You.

He has been ranked by critics, fellow comedians and viewers to be among Britain's greatest comedians.

He was also the host of Room 101 from 1999 to 2007, replacing original host Nick Hancock.

Merton appears as a panellist regularly on Radio 4's Just a Minute, first appearing in 1989, and became the only remaining regular panellist in 2009 following the death of Clement Freud. He has also appeared as one of the Comedy Store's Comedy Store Players.
