The brash comedian received a much warmer reception by social media-using viewers as the popular Sunday morning cooking chat show aired this week.
'Let’s start a petition for Johnny Vegas to be the permanent #SundayBrunch presenter!' one person tweeted.
Another was torn away from playing video games, distracted by the 46-year-old funny man: '#SundayBrunch you’ve got to find a way to keep Johnny Vegas, he’s actually keeping me off the PS4, watching @simonrim twitch.'
'Brilliant show again today. Johnny Vegas so funny. Get well soon @timlovejoy. Big hug,' well wished another.
'Fabulous morning of entertainment. "You had me at Hello." Loved it,' typed somebody else.
Another praised the decision to draft in Johnny, posting: 'Choosing Johnny Vegas to host #SundayBrunch was a stroke of genius by Channel 4!'
One fan tweeted: '#SundayBrunch with Johnny Vegas is the best TV ever… get him on every week @simonrim!!'

'They’ve fully dropped Tim Lovejoy for Johnny Vegas now right?' asked another,with hope.
'#SundayBrunch please keep #johnnyvegas on… laughing this early on a Sunday is fab,' came another happy customer.
Someone else suggested he present the new season of The Great British Bake Off when it comes to Channel 4 this year.
'Why is the Bishop of Brunch @JohnnyVegasReal name not being mentioned for #GBBO?' they asked.

Others missed regular presenter Tim, with embittered tweeter posting: 'Vegas presenting again, that’s me turning off.'
'Can’t believe Johnny Vegas @SundayBrunchC4 is back to ruin the show, off it goes! #SundayBrunch (although he seems a little quieter!)' said another.
The 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown regular caused a stir last week when he forgot his cues, presented to the wrong camera and mocked the guests.
Presenting alongside co-host Simon Rinner- who was forced to keep prompting the comedian when he missed his cues, Johnny put on a cheery performance.
