British viewers are already calling Noel Fielding a "national treasure" considering what a glow-up Great British Baking Show has offered the former stand-up comedian.

"Off his f--king nut on LSD to write Mighty Boosh yet an incredibly witty and intelligent GBBO host," one fan wrote on Twitter. "Protect him at all cost." 

While the host may be a new face to many American viewers, he has quite a long show CV when it comes to British entertainment.

Noel got his start as a stand-up comedian in the late '90s, where he gained recognition for his surreal stories, physical comedy, characters, and songs. He and his comedy partner, Julian Barratt, honed in on their skills to create The Mighty Boosh, a comedy series in which Noel and Julian play Vince Noir and Howard Moon, respectively, along with a host of other characters.

The Mighty Boosh gained a huge cult following since it was first developed from three stage shows and a six-episode radio series. It aired from 2004 to 2007 on BBC Three before Noel and Julian embarked on live tours across the U.S. and the U.K. 

Since the success of The Mighty Boosh, the comedy duo went on to appear on U.K.'s Transmission series, Noel in his usual flamboyant attire, which viewers surely recognize from his appearances on The Great British Baking Show.
