3	Christopher James Evans (born April 1, 1966) is an English TV and radio presenter who until late 2018 presented the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, a slot inherited from Radio/TerryWogan. He also was a host of ''Series/TheOneShow'' until he was chosen as the new host of ''Series/TopGear''.
4
5	Prior to taking over the radio show, Evans presented TV shows, most notably ''Don't Forget Your Toothbrush'' (gameshow) and ''Series/TFIFriday''. 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).
6
7	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 appeared to have been forgiven and forgotten, and Evans became very popular in the morning radio show[[note]]Now presented by Creator/ZoeBall[[/note]], gathering consistently high ratings and a loyal fan-base.
8
9	Evans was 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. Following a rating slump and allegations of misconduct, including renewed allegations of bullying and harassing staff and co-presenters, Evans resigned from this show after only one series. His Channel Four show ''TFI Friday'' was also axed.
10
11	He was formerly married to singer-turned-actress Creator/BilliePiper, now famous for her work on ''Series/DoctorWho''.
12
13	In September 2018, it was announced that Evans will be leaving the BBC's morning radio show to return to Virgin Radio. His successor is long-time BBC presenter Creator/ZoeBall.
14
15	He is not to be confused with the American actor Creator/ChrisEvans.

18	!!This radio presenter's career and work contains examples of:
19
20	* AmicableExes: He and Billie are so OK with each other 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?"
21	* ClusterFBomb: Not him, but on ''TFI Friday''. As the show aired pre-watershed, the show's live nature proved problematic for some of his guests after several uses of "Fuck" were blared out on occasions, with the most noteworthy example being Shaun Rider, forcing the regulators to insist potentially contentious parts be pre-recorded. [[https://youtu.be/U48yxUm1OTk?t=136 The moment itself that got the show barred from live broadcasts]] complete with Evans in a state of dread as the camera cuts back to him.[[note]]Ryder had been in trouble for saying 'fucking' casually on the show before and as such the interview beforehand was pre-recorded as per a demand by the regulator. The song however was not an interview and was deemed ok to go out live, the problem? He was doing an impression of [[Music/JohnLydon Johnny]] [[TemptingFate Rotten]]...[[/note]]
22	* 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.
23	* EmphasiseEverything: A criticism of his presentation style is that it's far too shouty and over-excited.
24	* ExcitedKidsShowHost: A criticism of Evans' presenting style is that he presents ''everything'' as if he was hosting a SaturdayMorningKidsShow, regardless of the target audience.
25	* [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Boy]]: in the opinion of ex-wife Creator/BilliePiper, who asserts he saved her from mental breakdown and possible suicide by being... himself.
