Who's going to replace himMy money is on a female, bisexual, person of colour.

Talent or suitability of the position will not be the criteria for selection, like everything else in today's World, it will be chosen on ticking identity boxes.

If it's not chosen on Identity and is chosen on experiece, then Richard Osman or Victoria Coren Mitchell, I imagine would be strong contenders.

We need a host who is snappy and not slow.

Humphrys seemed fine as a host :shrug: , I never had a problem with him. But I guess they want to switch things up .

Interestingly Richard Osman tweeted in support of Samira Ahmed.

Samira is a brilliant choice, nothing about gender or race, just a brilliant choice.

Samira is a brilliant choice, nothing about gender or race, just a brilliant choice.Time will decide that, and so will the viewers.

Sacred quiz is Mastermind, been going a long time. Don't want to annoy it's hardcore following.

I saw her do The Proms, I'm sure she'll be fine, just don't start changing things around would be my advice.

It's a great job she's landed, and at a great time for landing the job, because next year will be the 50 anniversary.

Strange for Humphry's to leave on the eve of that anniversary, especially with maybe a few bonus perks happening next year.

Now Takes the Job.

I think that Clive Myrie will be great for the job, he’s an excellent newsreader and intelligent and personable, plus I think that he’ll have a good rapport with the contestants.

Yeah his newsreading skills will come in handy, being able to quickly and coherently read the Qs etc. Rapport isn't necessarily needed as in Mastermind they don't have much "banter" or anything, not until the Final anyway.

I wanted the Dark Destroyer to get the job - he's been a longtime Chaser, a former Mastermind champ, and has expressed an interest in the job.

Clive did a great new Job.
