In September 2018, it was announced that Evans will be leaving the BBC's morning radio show to return to Virgin Radio. His successor has not yet been announced.

* AmicableExes: He and Billie are so OK with eachother that shortly after their breakup she was the first guest on his new Sunday talk show, and he opened by joking "When are you going to pick up the rest of your stuff?"

His previous stint at the BBC, on RadioOne, was marred by allegations of bullying staff and ended in his being sacked for refusing to work on Fridays because it clashed with his TV show for a rival channel. However, all appears to have been forgiven and forgotten, and Evans is now very popular in the morning radio show, gathering consistently high ratings and a loyal fan-base.

* {{Hatedom}}: all the people who still resent him for not being Radio/TerryWogan, who think he has dumbed down the morning show, and those who suspect he had a hand in Radio/SarahKennedy's departure and the demotion of broadcasting legend [[TheLastDJ Johnny Walker]]. Evans deals with most of these issues in his biography.[[note]]Which is pretty much completely at odds with the tale told by Johnny Walker in ''his'' auotobiography. Controversy rumbles on.[[/note]]
** Evans has recently attracted a new Hatedom from ''Series/TopGear'' fans, incensed that somebody who in in their eyes is CaptainErsatz is taking over their show from the God-like Jeremy Clarkson. It dioesn't help that Evans has taken to using Clarkson's {{Catchphrase}} "..and on that bombshell" = possibly deliberately.

Prior to taking over the radio show, Evans presented TV shows, most notably ''Don't Forget Your Toothbrush'' (gameshow) and ''TGIFriday''. He is most famous for re-inventing morning breakfast TV, revolutionising the genre with the zoo-format ''Series/TheBigBreakfast'' on Creator/ChannelFour. (since widely imitated worldwide).

* DrinkingOnDuty: some of the work he did during the latter stages of his marriage to Creator/BilliePiper has overtures of this. Both were frequently pictured leaving supermarkets with a shopping basket full of booze, and Evans himself admits he was drinking far too heavily at this point.
* EmphasiseEverything: a criticism of his presentation style is that it's far too shouty and over-excited.
* ExcitedKidsShowHost: a criticism of Evan's presenting style is that he presents ''everything'' as if he was hosting a SaturdayMorningKidsShow, regardless of the target audience.

* [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Boy]]: in the opinion of ex-wife BilliePiper, who asserts he saved her from mental breakdown and possible suicide by being... himself.

Evans is also notable as one of the two main co-presenters of the BBC flagship series ''Series/TopGear'' after its revamp following the indiscreetly public retirement of its old presenter, Jeremy Clarkson. Evans has denied that he will have to give up the morning radio show to meet his TV commitments.
