Stephen Fry stepping down at QI host, Sandi Toksvig his replacement

[Munch]

Hmm.. dunno what to make of this, but least to say I'm upset, seeing my fav tv presenter going from one of my fav shows.

It is his decision of course, and he wouldn't have been doing it forever, I guess i just wonder, can the show carry on without him? Fry is one of my fav british celebrities, with real wit, humor, and overall just a pleasant man to watch, it made me sure that no matter what, how shitty I day I'd be having, sitting down watching an episode of QI would always be entertaining since he was hosting it.

Now with Sandi Toksvig replacing him, yet Alan Davis still on the show, i just wonder if it can carry on as good. I've always felt it was his insight, charm, and the comradery between him and Alan that made the show what it was.

Had to happen sometime. Stephen Fry ain't no spring chicken, and he can't continue forever.

Just cross your fingers that QI can endure the change.

Sandy has some pretty big shoes to fill.

It obviously will be hard and will depend vary much, as said above, on how Toksvig and Davis get on together. The show will be loosing the jokes made at the expense of Fry's poshness. But I've very much enjoyed Toksvig's appearances as a panelist and the show tends to be a sausage-fest and, in my opinion, could use more consistent female appearances.

I will take some solace in the fact that Stephen is going to be Colonel K in the new Danger Mouse series.  And that I love Sandi Toksvig, and think she'll be fine.  She can snark with the best of them.

I about wet myself laughing the first time I saw that.

I think QI will be fine with Sandi at the helm.  MST3K survived the transition from Joel to Mike, after all.
