Have I Got a Bit More News for You S65 E8. Naga Munchetty. 2 June 23.

Naga Munchetty is guest host, with panellists Ruth Davidson and Hugh Dennis joining team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.

[@boredincan]

Hugh Dennis is great at this. He should do topical news panel shows more often

[@SennaAugustus]

He should do a cloud TV series.

[@sbor2020]

Is 57 series of _The Now Show_ not enough for you?

[@dannjp75]

[@timfriday9106]

He should totally have a show he does every week for like...3 decades.

Excellent episode, watching it during a little 'micro - retirement'. Just something I invented; starts around 6PM and I ll be coming out of retirement around 9AM tomorrow, I can highly recommend it.

A big thank you from New Zealand for posting these. It takes all my willpower tro wait for the extended episodes, but so worth it. Thank you.

[@DennisMoore664]

I always enjoy when Naga is presenting. And not just because she's stunning, but I am a man so I'm not going to lie - I do find her stunning!

[@cannotfindmyshoes3]

Me too. What a great dress or top she was wearing to go with her natural beauty. Would love to have seen her from head to foot, I have only ever seen her top half and always with some item of clothing. Ffs, does she never présent anything in the nude ??! What IS the World coming to ?

[@1969Kismet]

Great way to start my day. Again, thank you, ViVaHD, you relentless joy provider 👍

[@joost00555]

I have been waiting dor Hugh Dennis for a long time, and he is just as good as I hoped for

[@cannotfindmyshoes3]

He's great. Very under-rated I think.

[@garrick3727]

I was depressed about my lack of Dennis, so I ordered some Dennis enlargement pills off the Internet, and now I have a Hugh Dennis.

[@profjohnston]

Impressive hosting from Naga Munchetty, classy, funny, quick-thinking, I loved her facial expressions. As for the guests, Hugh was an efficient provider of comedy and even Ruth Davidson had some good lines, and for a Tory they were surprisingly nice to her.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

She's a good Tory - got in a great zinger about Boris and Dorries.

[@AndrewTBP]

She's been on before, like Baroness Warsi, and knows how to do it.

[@mulrich]

It helps that she resigned leadership of the Scottish Conservative Party not long after Boris Johnson became prime minister, and that she's now a member of the House of Lords, so she doesn't have to worry about re-election or her colleagues and can be honest about the Tories, much like Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.

[@bettychatfield2544]

NAGA has the most expressive eyes, it was a pleasure to watch her be free from the news

[@merlapittman5034]

Fantastic episode! Naga was great, and I love Hugh Dennis. I still miss Mock the Week!

[@jasonking6817]

[@scajl]

Naga is absolutely lovely.

[@chequereturned]

Ruth Davidson is a surprisingly quick wit for a politician, even conversationally. Others can be witty in writing but William Hague is maybe the only other one I can think of like this.

[@aussiefarmer7291]

Brilliant joke about Phil.... he's done a runner

[@garrick3727]

They used to have more politicians, with mixed results, but they seemed to have moved away from that after Boris made quite a name for himself on the show. Ruth certainly faired really well. I like how she didn't shy away from mocking her colleagues a little.

[@seanmegan1278]

Jess Phillips is also great imo

[@cwbrooks5329]

Hooray! Thank you so much again from the US.

[@BuruIgeru]

Well, it's been a while since we have had Kirsty Young in here, it's only good to have more news anchors like Steph and Naga picking up the glove. Always a pleasure that HIGNFY seems able to tide most years even now.

[@TheKjoeller]

Lurpak did the same in Denmark 10 years ago when we added a fat tax, and it never went back. So now they can use the same packagings in more countries.

[@1234cheerful]

Hugh looks like he has missed the Mock the Week audience and applause a bit.

[@ladyflimflam]

24:39 the return of Desky Dennis!

[@Krydolph]

In Denmark, where Lurpak hails from - We have had 200gram packs for years by now! Count yourself lucky if it's only just now they reduce the size in UK!

[@paulnrswain]

Hugh is right chicken eggs come out of the bum or cloaca to be more precise.

Yes, like a vagina and a behind, a vagind.

[@docpoppi2852]

I just watched and was about to post the same! Maybe the Baroness needs to have a talking to…

[@BCOZ-nb2lo]

Ruth needs a lesson in bird anatomy. The cloaca is a multipurpose exit point for birds.

[@thedepthsofrepair]

Perhaps a helpful Londoner will correct Ruth. Hugh must’ve been too chicken.

[@garrick3727]

Not living in the UK, I don't know who Naga Munchetty is (until I looked it up). I think she's one of the best hosts this shows had this season, and that's going against some pretty tough competition. Also, she's nearly 50, which is neither here nor there, I was just surprised.

[@EmmaVB82]

I *do* live in the UK but don’t have an actual TV and I watch all my TV via streaming services and/or sometimes catchup (essentially also streaming services), and also didn’t know who Naga Munchetty was… but I completely agree with you; she’s great in all respects!

But not necessary, one of the best things about classic British humour is that there is no need to say the punchline out loud, unlike in the States where it is common to explain the punchline at least twice, or in Canada where it is deemed unfair to someone or other if the punchline is not explained and....

[@Rachel-rv8db]

Strange happenings in The Odd One Out Round. They never mentioned Gollum (is that right?) image at all. Not a word about it. Does anyone know why? Also, the saddest words I can hear in this program are, "Just one between you this week." This show is so enjoyable, that any shortening of it is a bummer. Thanks so much for the uploads!

[@bertcornelissen6294]

Because everyone knows Gollum lost the one ring I suppose, so it doesn't bear mentioning.

[@toddmarryatt443]

Naga Munchetty is stunning! It needs to be said twice.

[@richardjwordsworth]

Is it just me, or does it feel like HIGNFY has gotten a little spicier since the other shows' cancellations? Mock the Week, the Mash Report, Frankie Boyle's New World Order... Even though it's not my favourite of the litter, it feels like it's got the strongest roots having been on for so long, and is the one topical comedy programme that really would be difficult to cancel. Maybe I'm just projecting, but it seems to be biting harder than it used to (the extended gag about Michael Gove and cocaine, for example). It's like it knows that, of all the shows, it's the safest from the axe, and is rightly taking advantage of that.

[@garrick3727]

I think it's more accurate to say it's back on form. They got really cautious the last few seasons. The hosts in particular are saying spicier things, to the point where even Ian and Paul are a little shocked, so I expect it's new writers and/or more freedom for the writers. As Paul pointed out, Naga tried to rush through the Gove comment, so it wasn't her line.
