I should have added this to my previous note---I could easily hear
Julian Clary as chairman. Of either program. He's got a knack for the
toss-away innuendo so beloved on Clue. And he seems certainly quick
enough to keep up with the panelists.

Or, to go in a completely different directions: Sandi Toksvig. And I
think Gyles Brandreth would be a good chair of either, too.

You wouldn't want a new chairman to be a clone of the old---rarely can
anyone better an original at their own game. Instead, you come up with
a new game ---or character---and give things a new lease on life. It's
like music--no matter how much you love an artist, you can't expect
them to write the same songs over and over again---you might enjoy it,
but the artist would find it stifling.
