To be replaced by the (hideously smug) Sandi Toksvig

which set me thinking

best Quiz show hosts/quiz show combinations in your view are?

Stephen Fry and QI must be right up there, but who else fits their show so perfectly that it would be odd without them?

Not so much the host, but as an ensemble, this was a very much underrated show:



Mostly because of how incredibly cruel they were to each other.

I really enjoy the Carr/Locke/Richardson combo on 8/10 Cats and even more so on 8/10 Cats does Countdown.

Do most people agree about Sandi Toksvig being hideously smug ?

I've always thought she come across pretty well.

Obv impossible shoes to fill so gl to her.

For quiz show host, Vicky Coren on Only Connect.

Alas, I fear we may have reached Peak Pointless - Armstrong in particular veers a bit too much towards smugness now.

Also, QI has been terrible for several series now - I'd love to know who Alan Davies has photos of to enable him to continue to appear on TV.
