===Capital Radio=== {{Main|Capital London|l1=Capital Radio}} In 1984, Tarrant joined [[Capital London|Capital Radio]] as a presenter, initially presenting the station's Sunday lunchtime show before moving to a late-morning weekday slot, following David Jensen. From March 1987 until April 2004 he hosted ''[[Capital Breakfast]]''. The show was highly popular, increasing Capital Radio's audience share in London. Tarrant had regular co-presenter Kara Noble (eventually replaced by Zabe Newsome for a very short duration) as his sidekick for the early years until Noble moved to Heart FM in 1995 with regular contributions from Flying Eye traffic reporter Russ Kane and newsreader [[Howard Hughes (radio presenter)|Howard Hughes]]. It was on this show that he first coined his "Is that your final answer?" catchphrase. At 9:00 am on 2 April 2004, after hosting 4,425 shows, 20 years on Capital Radio and giving away prizes to the value of Β£3.5 million, Tarrant said his farewell to the station.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://audioboom.com/posts/3049421-chris-tarrant-last-show-on-capital-2004|title=Chris Tarrant β last show on Capital β 2004|work=Audioboom|access-date=1 March 2018|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301225208/https://audioboom.com/posts/3049421-chris-tarrant-last-show-on-capital-2004|archive-date=1 March 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
