JAM 916

(I tried to post this earlier, but the Yahoo fairies ate it)

Episode 916 is in the Jam Jar.

This is the second Nick-less episode, and two things occur to me:

1. I don't believe Nic just decided to have "a day off".

He only records JAM on about 6 days a year (two series, 12 episodes), and to skip one of these days would be strange decision indeed ... unless a retirement strategy has been hatched and the plan is to wean us off him as chairman. (CUE: X-Files theme music)

2. The whimsical past discussion of chairman succession plans* seems to have been answered. Is Gyles actually the anointed one?

'I'm sorry I Haven't a Clue' had a difficult time replacing Humph with various hosts until Jack Dee got the permanent gig. Maybe JAM will experiment with rotating hosts; maybe Gyles will be the new Chairman Mao.

Regards,

Mark

*Smug Note - on this list on 19 Jan 2011, I pontificated: "Without meaning to start digging Nicholas' grave, who else would you blokes and blokettes like to see as a successor chairman? It can't be Paul. Gyles? Certainly vain and pompous enough (and convinced enough of his own theatrical magnificence) for Paul to enjoy shooting at him."
