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]

Mock the week.

[@khanoclast]

I see what you did there...

[@timfriday9106]

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

[@Epicurus777]

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.

Anytime a newsreader hosts HIGNFY it adds a double dose of realism to the ludicrousness of the world we live in today.

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 ?

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

[@PunksterNL]

Nice to see Hugh rebounding after he lost his job at MTW.

[@deheerdeheer]

Really appreciate the 'proper' subtitles with the extended version, thank you.

[@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

[@jasonking6817]

Naga you are absolutely fantastic🙌🙏❤️

[@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]

[@ladyflimflam]

24:39 the return of Desky Dennis!

[@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.

[@kida4313]

Hugh Dennis really does appreciate a cloud. One point.

[@hoilst265]

Hugh's completely English Gentleman "Thank you very much" is worth it alone.

[@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.

[@1234cheerful]

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

[@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!

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!

Not bad ! Another Beatles classic (also a Paul one) that could vaguely fit would be "Am fixing a hole, where thé rain gets in, to stop my mind from wandering..." (forgotten the actual title....is it perhaps "I'm fixing a hole"??!)

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.

What's the scandal they're not allowed to talk about ('just trying to keep the lawyers awake')?

[@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.
