I love this show - but I missed the Stephen Fry one :(

 

This weeks show was good - I liked the guy from Does it offend you, yeah? explaining his Man-crushes!

 

He was better than the singer from Glas-vegas - what an arse he was!

I saw one a while ago where Simon couldn't remember which bands and celebrities the show hated and was asking the guests for help. "Kate Nash, do we like her or is she shit?"

I loved when Amy Whinehouse got on high as a kite, and Simon just took the complete piss.

 

I also loved when he refered to a singer in the panal as 'a guy from one of those snow patrol bands'

 

Oh and when he ripped the piss out of Noel Fielding (the twat) cornering him on how he doesn't make jokes but just unfunny random comments.

Oh yeah, and Noel replied with something about "a bicycle made of jealousy"

 

... or something like that...

 

:laugh3:

How good would it be if Chris was guest captain one-week

That's Buzzcocks finished for this season :(

I know, he was awesome!!!

 

I hate it when Americans come on English shows and they haven't got a clue about the "tone" of it. Their press people should really let them know what to expect. I'm thinking of all the bewildered faces on Graham Nortons show (esp, back in his channel 4 days). But that guy had clearly done his homework!

 

Much respect, Mr. Groban!

Bad news :(

 

Simon Amstell quits Nevermind the Buzzcocks

 

Simon Amstell has quit Never Mind The Buzzcocks! Can you believe that? Amstell has stated that he wants to concentrate on his stand-up after three years hosting the show. Apparently, BBC bosses are more than shocked. Amstell sent out a message to members of his mailing list on Friday night saying: "Here is some news, should you be interested in this sort of thing. I will not be hosting another series of the fun pop quiz, Never Mind the Buzzcocks. When I first took on the role, my only hope was to bring joy and laughter to the world and if I was lucky, put an end to war, disease and poverty. Now that I have achieved that, I plan to concentrate on my live work. Thank you. Please now continue to enjoy your life as best you can." It's looking rather likely that when the show returns for a new series, Simon will be replaced by a series of guests hosts. So who would be a good permanent replacement?

 

I while ago, in a different article, I came up with some replacements for Amstell. Some of them were rubbish... but some of them were surprisingly bob-on. The hightlights of the replacements were Marc Riley, who you might know as Lard, Ed Byrne and, my favourite for the job by a country mile, Adam Buxton. Buxton can be sarcastic and definitely has the knowledge of pop-culture to handle a show like that.

 

Sadly, I fear the BBC will be looking at someone like Russell Howard because he looks like the imagined audience to BBC bosses. If he gets the gig, the show will fail miserably. However, and here's a thought, Mark Lamarr could come back. He's been a bit quiet of late and knows the show inside out. Could he still cut it? Would he lose some of the younger viewers as coaxed in by Amstell?

 

Whatever happens, it'll be interesting to see how things develop and quite a few of you are already quite upset by this news (not in a Crying Uncontrollably way, but y'know, miffed).

This is really sad news :(

 

This is the E-mail Simon sent out sometime last week. When I first got it I wondered if it was a joke or not...or at least I hoped it was a joke.

 

"Terrible news for the world.

 

Hello.

 

 

I am Simon Amstell. Here is some news, should you be interested in this sort of thing. I will not be hosting another series of the fun pop quiz, ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’.

 

 

When I first took on the role of hosting ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’, my only hope was to bring joy and laughter to the world and if I was lucky, put an end to war, disease and poverty. Now that I have achieved that, I plan to concentrate on my live work.

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

Please now continue to enjoy your life as best you can.

 

 

Good evening. "

AWWWWW. Sad day. :( And I was looking forward to that next season after that last episode with Josh Groban. Not cool.

So it's back, with a HIGNFY style guest presenter.

its my favourite programme :embarassed: got all episodes with simon amstell as host on my ipod :embarassed: :embarassed:

 

..it is the best panel/quiz show though dont you think?

 

No, Have I Got News For You is by miles the best panel/quiz show on the tv.

 

It didn't get any better than this one.

Thought Thursday's show was ok, but James corden was trying a bit too hard - he laughed at every joke like it was the funniest thing he'd ever heard

New episode was okay, but not amazing. As everyone can probably tell by my avatar, I'm a big Amstell fan, and this show was missing a bit of Amstell! (Well, all of him really)

 

And I agree Alison, Corden laughed a bit too much. I spent most of the show thinking, "I really want Noel Fielding's David Bowie top"

 

Rhod Gilbert hosting next week. Should be quite good.

That man can't be taken seriously, and his comedy's shit as well.

I thought Rhod Gilbert was brilliant at hosting thursday's episode. I've also just heard that Mark Watson's hosting an episode so that should be brilliant!
