In 2004 Jimmy had his first Rose d’Or nomination (for Distraction UK) here.

The Rose d’Or awards started in 1961 and are described as defining “the gold standard for excellence and achievement in International TV and Audio programme making” and their website is here.

The ceremony used to be held in Montreux and some may remember it as being called the Golden Rose of Montreux.

2006 saw him receive another nomination – this time for the similarly titled category of Best Game Show Host (again for Distraction).

One of the other nominees was Stephen Fry (for QI) and Stephen won the 2006 award.

Details of all Awards and Nominations are here.
