I think "riot" would be the appropriate word. Brian portrays himself as being rather "unhinged" and the result of his appearance on Just A Minute would probably be chaotic. Whilst the output would probably be funny, I doubt it those who like "the game" would enjoy it as much of those who listen more for the humour.

Cheers
