QI | PRE-SHOW PANDEMONIUM 

has he gotten some sort of work done, or even indulged in the botox thing? the area around his cheekbones looks rather different

I feel bad for the lady he said was dressed like a clown tho, that was a bit low.

@@___jd he said she was dressed like chucky because she was wearing overalls and had chased him, not because he thought she dressed badly. chucky isn't a clown though so i think he just said that by accident

@@___jd it just means she was wearing dungarees, like Chucky

I just love the way that, once he set off, she hesitated only momentarily before deciding it would be entirely appropriate to chase him around a circular set in exactly the way everyone wanted 😁

Fun fact she was at NASA holding hands with Neil Armstrong's secretary during the moon landing. Her father was covering it as a foreign correspondent for DR, the Danish equivalent to the BBC. You bet she'd remember it was 1969 :D

My mum's around the same age and can't remember my name. So that wasn't a fun fact for me. Feels a bit like Sandi is rubbing it in.

@Some Fella GAMERS RISE UP

Woah, that's a bunch of words!

I was so happy when I heard it was her!

I thought he said tonks

Dinner parties? I'm sorry I don't live in Edwardian times. lol

@@user-yv2cz8oj1k sucks to be u i guess

It's good to get the audience warmed up before they start. It's easier to *keep* an audience laughing than to *start* an audience laughing. As far as I know, basically every comedy show with a live audience has a warm-up act beforehand.

The cameras were rolling

These people are geniuses

Seriously brilliant

Just typical British humour..we all muck about, part of our culture...😊

"...tall woman dressed as Chucky the Clown!" X'D

I didn't understand why he ran? What was the woman going to do?

@@drdrdrk it was just a joke :D She had to fix the microphone

@@ThenameisNiels I realised that! I was just curious :) thought it was important

i guess he is a successful author. a cunt! who bites homeless peoples ears off!!!!! but still a successful author lol

Jean Valjean

@@danielwhittaker695 How many drugs did you take?

he is my favorite panelist

Indiana S he’d drunk 11 pints though, and he hasn’t done anything violent since. Famous people are held to such a standard, it’s a wonder all the peadophiles in Hollywood haven’t been uncovered.

Can’t remember where they were preforming but once at a Foo Fighters concert Dave Groghl mentioned it was him mom’s birthday and the crowd starting singing ‘happy Birthday dave’s mom’ Was so funny.

I feel like the Sandi-Stephen banter would be the most educational part of the show while the Alan-Stephen banter would be the funniest. Question is, who would be the other two guests? I want Bill Bailey and David Mitchell (or Sean Locke).

@@howareyoumoreofaclownthanme bill Bailey and Sean locke would be great too

though having phill jupitus would also go great on the guest list when bill bailey and stephen fry is involved. just replace alans regular spot and have him work with the audience to win the round.

Phil Jupitus would be great with him. I think Phil and Stephen have had some of my favorite interactions on the show.

It's not there, comes to mind.

especially while you are bleeding.

Yeah, but you NEVER KNOW when Bridgette Christie is taking the piss.

madsli, you’re right. It’s actually the 7th most British things you could ever say. Others in the top ten include: - _Fix bayonets chaps_ and, somewhat related, and made recently famous by Eddie Izzard: - _D’you have a flag?_ (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_9W1zTEuKLY.html) And of course, most recently of all: - _Leave! Eh, no, Remain! Wait! Leave! Ehrm, dash it all, Remain!_

😂 EXACTLY what I was thinking!!! "Oh gosh, I seem to have cut my finger off. Ah well, let's just ignore it and continue, I don't want to cause a fuss."

It's very Canadian as well.

Noel in a turtleneck though

Noel has that chaotic good vibe about him... Ever seen his rendition of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights?

@@eugenelim1436 It was one of the first things I saw of him, totally hooked after that :) Another good one in that vein was Robert Webb doing Flashdance (also for Comic Relief, I think).

Amen

Then when he said "It's a blue whale" a buzzer come up for that and sandy just go "No darling, it's a cake."

Or a Moonpie :P

@EnigmaDrath A blew whale?

they would have had a whale of a time.

Iain Johnstone she’s lovely, i was in the audience and she gave me a hug She also fell over and I picked her up

Jimmy Carr is actually funny when he's off the cuff.

​@TheSmart-CasualGamerI think that you spelled cuff wrong. It's C L I F F

I'm surprised anyone actually made a comment like this on RU-vid - everyone seems to hate her with a vengeance.

@@zbr76 Really? I didn't know that. Personally I think she is fantastic, the perfect replacement for Steven.

I always said that if they ever were to replace Stephen, it'd have to be Sandi.

@@No1sonuk Indeed. Sandi was the only option, none else was even close

There will never be another like Stephen Fry, but just as equally, there will never be another like Sandi Toksvig. They are both as unique as each other (if that makes sense).

Especially when she's bleeding from the hand.

I hear that the bleeding from the hand is the worst of all the bleedings.

@@doubtfulguest5450 "Tis but a scratch."

@@doubtfulguest5450 Well, in personal experience, I can concur. But it is the only appendage of mine that a piece of glass shot through. Never had that happen anywhere else.

And love lies bleeding in my hand.

A Jarjis b

it sounded like “Tonks” to me but yes, probably - Toks would make more sense!

Her name's Sandi Toksvig, so probably!

@A Jarjis I love the nickname!

Sounded like it

You know she is a bender

Grunthos The Flatulent And......I think you are incorrect. Look it up !

@@nigeljames6017????

Grunthos The Flatulent I redact my previous statement, sorry, I was incorrect.

I agree, a great replacement. Im glad she's the host, she has really shined since she took over, so funny, quick, happy. As a guest of course she was more reserved, shy, but she really fit in with all the gang.

I didn't want to like Sandi, but she made me love her as a hostess.

No she hasn't.

I love her laugh. Its so cute.

And I. She is a riot

Were-Geldof-ism is a common condition for lanky friendly british men.

@@JoshSweetvale he's Irish

@@Pointblankmos Alan's Irish!?

Ugh, don't say that. I like Alan.

New Message I don’t know how many you tube videos you watch but you comment on all the ones I watch.

Julia Connell does it really matter

Nanda - does anything really matter? lol but also what Ro said ^^^^

And I

@@thihawin439 yup. Everything matters

@@thihawin439 It means he has confidence

You come from the country with perhaps the highest non-native level of English overall ;)

@@YIIMM and also with the two closest relatives of the English language, Frisian and Dutch... 😁

That's been my excuse for years. No one wants to come close to me 😂

"Honestly, I've got the hottest tits you can imagine..." Indeed you do, Sandi! :D

Possible, yes. Likely, no.

@@PLF... oh please, you should really try growing up a bit.

I feel sorry for the large amounts of people who are neither.

Julia Connell It would have been great if they hosted the show taking turns

And held Neil Armstrong’s secretary’s hand because the secretary was worried about it going wrong😊

@@linzmcd4485 she is literally such a sweetheart. Hands down one of the best people around 👍😂

They do its called QI

I wanna see them team up in the big fat quiz for once

Do tell!

PLEASE tell us

Dude you can’t leave us hanging like this

I don't want to spoil it in case they do another video

What episode did you see?

Neddie Valentine Sandi first appeared in the G series, which was nine years before, so a child then could be of university age now. That’s usually how time works.

yea its been quite a while, it goes by fast. Back when she was first on the shows, quiet, horrible dresser, growing up a life gay and not quite fitting in as she called it, lots of problems in school, very smart, a little stand-offish but with a personality just hidden away from everyone and over the years becoming such a loved mom and friend to everyone, just fitting right in with the comedy/game show crowd enough that she was just one of the group. Attended their weddings, at their gatherings, and so loved and smart taking over Qi from the great Steven and able to stand up side by side with the best of them both in smarts and humor.
