Have I Got News for You S67 E8. Phil Wang. 24 May 2024

[@WinterWolf-sb9vm]

Ian is a national treasure, a journalist with integrity.

[@platexproductions]

“a journalist with integrity” is a funny way of spelling “he agrees with my politics”

[@bradleybarnett9545]

​​​​@@platexproductionsIf "he agrees with my politics" means he can't stand mendacity, corruption & complacency amongst the ruling elite- no matter the party- then, okay. Let's see what happens after Labour wins in July. I'd be happy betting that Hislop will continue his criticism of "the government". It's his passion- it's his job- & he does it bloody well.

[@VanceRefrigeration]

@@platexproductionsSo you agree with Paula Vennells?

[@bennyhillschineseblokechar3689]

Paul Merton has always been the only reason to watch HIGNFY

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

[@paulnolan4971]

@@cjstevens6405 Absolutely. He's so smart and so dry with it.

It's the only form he has. Incredibly smart, witty, polite, a genuine nice guy by all accounts...my wife is fed up hearing me man-crushing over him! 😅

[@DrewSavo]

Especially with how fast he was with the pantomime bit.

[@anophelesnow3957]

Ace episode. Davidson was good, especially for a politician, Osman is a real pro. Wang should host more, the show flows and he's a very funny fellow. Now I must rewind for the panda dogs. Aww.

Phil Wang is a pleasant surprise!

They made Ruth Davidson a Baroness!! She was in opposition for 8 years in Holyrood. She was never in government. What has she actually ever done for anyone?? Its like Boris Johnson giving his hairdresser an OBE. Absolutely wild undeserved rewards!

[@jimmyholloway8527]

Phil Wang. Always an excellent panelist, he led the high energy this show. Even Paul was more animated than of late. He and Richard are a good paring. Ian brought the gravitas as usual but, Susan Calman was on fire, "Not a big fan of having sausages in my hands." Apologies, Baroness.

[@napalmholocaust9093]

I got crypo drinking snow melt from a mountain top. A real mountain, in America. Not those hills you try to pass-off as them. 14,000 feet. No conversion. High enough the air is noticeably thin, it is right about a year round snow cap in New Mexico. Not these days tho. Anyway, feel sorry for y'all, it is like bad flu or mild cholera that can last weeks. Not bad enough you run to hospital immediately, but mild enough to suffer for a long time till you finally go.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@janewillis9582 I don't know who he is but the forum where I found his name out seemed to think it was more about that he'd be interviewing politicians in the coming weeks. So it wouldn't be a good look to be mocking them on this show just before that. It could be seen as bias (even if it wasn't) if he mocked one party member but not another. I suspect they were simply playing it safe.
