Aww I miss Mark but at the same time I don't want Simon to go! Love them both but it's hard to compare as they are both so different.

[weirdoalex]

My personal opinion - I thought Lamarr was brilliant - he knew his music - jokes like the "Pete Townsend style-beating" spring to mind, or moments like 'House Of The Rising Sun' with Kenzie... still, Simon is hilarious - he makes it a different show - more focused on taking the mick outta Z-lister celebs - an extension of Popworld. It's still very watchable and funny.  They're two different presenters, with two different styles and I am a fan of both for different reasons.

Exactly! They both have their strengths and weaknesses but both very entertaining to watch! I don't get all the simon-dissing as I think he's just as brilliant as Mark but just on very different matters. NMTB is still one of the best shows around, despite Mark's absence.

Mark Lamarr is amazing ever now and then Simon will have a gem of a joke or a really good put down but everything about Mark was A-class material

agree with phil about the donny tourette thing, whole reason that was so funny and the best buzzcock episode was because of donny tourette, he put himself out there to make the show funny and crazy.. and cause bill didnt like him and amstell secretly fancied him, he got the digs.. everyone else that goes on the show, is boring and plays it safe.. if mark was still hosting, Donny wouldve come off really funny..

Jupitus hated Simon because he would not let him keep doing his stock in trade, homophobic humor , the way Lamar did . Yet he stayed on and goes on QI and kisses Stephen Fry's ass. Obviously because no one else wants him on a panel show. I don't know why Fry puts up with his banality. Bill Baily and Sean are were gentlemen and are truly missed.

Lamarr, he's never happier than when he's with his bee's, love's beekeeping (according to Jupitus in any interview he does).

In Simon's defense, I quite liked the way he handled Donny Tourette. He was being an ass and was so full of himself and there were times when you could literally see him shrinking into his seat after Simon said something to him. My favorite part was when he grabbed his penis and told Simon that's what he thought of him and Simon, without missing a beat, goes 'You think of me, a small penis?"

Well you were right!!!

[fondoogle]

mark lamar = god.

[MarkALoopy]

Also, he keeps bees.

Amstell's alright, and it greatly amuses me that he was fired from Nickelodeon for being "too sarcastic", but I do wish Lamarr was presenting it instead.

not 100% sure that sean would come back being that his pretty much dropped of the face of the earth the moment his last show went out, he was great i dont dispute but i dont know how he would gel with the new format
