6Foot2 Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Link: BBC - Stephen Fry steps down as QI host - Media Centre ...Stephen Fry comments: "For 13 years I had one of the best jobs on television. Behind the camera, squadrons of quite extraordinarily brilliant researchers, programme-makers and uniquely curious (in both senses of the word) people making that job so much easier. In front of the camera, generations of lively minds and above all, of course, the wonder of nature that is Alan Davies. After passing the alphabetical halfway mark I thought it time to move on, but I will never cease to be grateful to John Lloyd for devising QI and for everyone else for making it such fun." Stephen’s place will be taken by his old friend and university contemporary Sandi Toksvig OBE, the Danish-born writer, presenter, actor and comic, who herself stepped down earlier this year after a dazzling 10-year run as chair of Radio 4’s The News Quiz. Alan Davies will continue as QI’s resident panellist and genial fall guy...
korifugi Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 When I first read this - I was worried by who they'd have take over, but it looks like they've made a good choice in Sandi. She's always seemed a good panellist when she's appeared on it.

She's always seemed a good panellist when she's appeared on it. Agreed, she has the right kind of sense of humour and sharp wit for the show I think
Jawloms Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I wonder how long it will be before Stephen is on the panel?
localzuk Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 She's definitely right for the role IMO. Should be interesting!
Oaktech Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Agreed... Sandi is precisely who should take the helm. Although for one show I think it would be very funny to see Alan Davies do it - like have I got news for you!

Although for one show I think it would be very funny to see Alan Davies do it - like have I got news for you! if youre going to do that would be a good show to have Stephen on the panel maybe a Christmas one so its a one off 1
korifugi Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 ... it would be very funny to see Alan Davies do it - ... He has done - once for a part of an episode, can't remember precisely when though
Tesla Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 He has done - once for a part of an episode, can't remember precisely when though It was an xmas special. "Don't say cow!" 1
