His TV panel show, "Have I Got News For You" is also wonderful. Just comedians, discussing and making jokes about the news, for something like 25 years now. And most of it is on YouTube.

- MaxBarraclough 6y agoTo be clear he didn't create the show, he's one of its stars.
- timthorn 6y agoThe show was a successful transition to television of the Radio 4 classic, "The News Quiz"
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoI've never paired them, curiously. The News Quiz is still a R4 show so transition would perhaps be the wrong word. Extension, assuming they have the same source as you imply with your comment.
- noir_lord 6y agoIndeed, I love The News Quiz though I still miss Sandy, the new host is great but not a match.

He flipped a coin and backed Leave. That backing tipped the scales and road to leave That eventually led to him becoming PM, after a lucky backstabbing by Gove in 2017, meaning he managed to get a large majority in 2019 It’s an interesting example of the butterfly effect.
