Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Insert Name Here" in English language version.
Sandi Toksvig, on her recent Desert Island Discs, revealed that before each recording of The News Quiz, she gives each panellist a hug — all part of making the show more friendly. She was due to become the first female host of a mainstream comedy TV panel show, when she takes over the reins of QI later this year, but Sue Perkins last night pipped her to it on Insert Name Here. In the best possible way, this feels like a show where everyone has been hugged. It's partly that the concept is so loose that the conversation can spin off anywhere (it's about a different moniker every week, so last night's "Frank" episode covered everything from Drake to Lampard). It's partly that the chemistry really worked, with everyone contributing intelligently and amusingly. It is funny and it is (fairly) clever, which is pretty close to the panel-show holy grail.
