Well Paul seems to have taken up the banner of some of Kenneth's old
catchphrases.  He's now taken the habit of calling Nicholas an
'excellent chairman' the way Kenneth used to when things went his way,
and often says 'Best chairman we got' twice in a row, which very often
prompts Nicholas to say something ridiculous like 'its the only chairman
you've got'.
 
Even in the last series Paul even went so far as to say 'I haven't come
all the way from Great Portland Street to listen to this.'

Comments on the chairing of the show have been a common in-joke for
about 35 years, and not just from Paul and Kenneth.
On that one use of a Kenneth phrase, I just don't see Paul's use of the
phrase as being similar to Kenneth's tantrums. They're both very very
funny, but stylistically miles apart.
