Co-Presenter Role on 'Your Face or Mine?' Across E4 and Comedy Central

Between 2002 and 2003, Jimmy Carr co-presented the television show Your Face or Mine? on the UK digital channel E4, marking one of his earliest roles as a television host. The program, which paired Carr with fellow comedian June Sarpong, featured couples answering questions about physical attractiveness, often comparing themselves to celebrities or members of the audience. The format combined quiz elements with comedy, relying on audience participation and candid responses to generate humor. Your Face or Mine? aired during a period when E4 was expanding its entertainment programming aimed at younger audiences. The show’s structure involved rounds where contestants predicted who would be judged more attractive by a studio audience, creating a mix of light competition and comedic tension. Carr’s role as co-host involved guiding participants through the format while delivering scripted and improvised remarks, helping maintain the show’s pace and tone. The series ran for two seasons during its original broadcast period from 2002 to 2003. It later returned in a revived format on Comedy Central between 2017 and 2019, introducing the concept to a new audience. Carr’s involvement in the original version contributed to his growing visibility on British television at a time when he was also establishing himself through live stand-up and festival performances.
