One of the key factors in a replacement will be availability. Who is willing to commit to it for every show? Very few names will be able to commit to that (certainly for the money that they pay for the role).

I think it absolutely has to be someone who has been on the show a lot. Players like Paul and Sue Perkins are too strong individuals contributors, but someone like Tony Hawks could be very good in the role.

I hope that they don't have rotating chairs. Unlike Have I Got News For You, it's a difficult and specialised role. It hasn't worked well when, in the distant past, they have rotated it.

Yours

Yes. David Mitchell. My favourite! He’s clever and very witty and at the same time he has this traditional air about his persona that makes him, IMHO, fit to chare such a program. What do you think?

Sometimes I wonder to myself who could/would take over if/when Nick steps down... Maybe it's uncool to even mention it, but I do find myself considering it sometimes. Anyone have any ideas?

In the very early days they revolved the chairmanship just a few times. The others were as bad at chairing as Nic was as a contestant. Well maybe...

But this is before JAM found its shape, before it recognised itself as a full blown comedy show.

It is a shame once the four boys got into their rhythm they never revolved the chair....that would have been interesting.

I imagine if Nic retires they may well try a bit of revolving. Before settling down to a format without hesitation, deviation, repetition or revolution.

Am I deviating?
