I think Jo Brand, now that Boris has moved on.
Not only are her own jokes funny (pretty rare for a comedian ) but she's good at getting other people in on the act.

I think that they should give Peter Sutcliffe a go.

It's between Alexander Armstrong & Jack Dee, for me. Jo Brand was very good last time out - certainly getting better.

Angus Deayton - unsurpassed.

I think they should have Sir Alan Sugar!!!

Armstrong definately

Managed to catch a few of the old episodes where he was in the chair a week or two ago (Dave repeats). He was very good, but got the feeling that he was too easily out thought by Ian Hislop & Paul Merton - and couldn't really respond or fight back. Mind you, there aren't many who can...

Kent, that's the most brilliant idea ever.

I can already imagine the Hislop-and-Merton mincemeat job.....

Alexander Armstrong for me.

same here

Something that still makes me laugh from a previous Brand appearance....they showed a clip of a catwalk with some models prancing up and down it in designer gear. Suddenly a crack appeared in the floor, and one of the models fell through it.
JB watched this for a bit and then said waspishly, "Serves her right for being so bleeding thin."

Jo Brand has one joke, and it's shit

dont watch it, I did watch some thing about arguing the other night though - was ok, some fella stripped off to prove naturism wasn't weird! brave man!

I agree she either says some crap about her being fat or a stupid husband joke, all old hat a bit like julian clairey.

More of a buzzcocks fan myself, simon amstell was a brilliant host and they will struggle to fill his shoes.

Oh, well, I apologise, then.

A Jo Brand joke....

I'm fat, all men are not nice people because of that fact

Repeated for the last 20 years or so

Martin Clunes is excellent on HIGNFY whenever he's on.

Those episodes with Boris though - some of the best TV ever. He's wasted in politics.

Have you heard Sorry I Haven't A Clue with Jack Dee as the new host? It's nowhere near as good.

I'm not a Tory supporter, but Boris Johnson is a legend.

My favourite was Brian Blessed. Mad as a bag of snakes.

I don't think there should be a regular presenter, the guest thing works very well for me.

I think you're right, they probably have a queue of people wanting to do it, and there could be a natural for the job that hasn't yet done it.

But if they did pick a new regular, I would go for Alexander Armstrong.

The point being Humphrey Littleton wasn't a comedian...........oh hang on, is that were Jack Dee is exactly the same.

I know a comedian who might be related to this bloke.
