Agreed, that Johnny Vegas show was superb. Especially when he was talking about drunken online role-playing in 'Beauty's Castle', where being the only person there he decided to rearrange the virtual bar. A brilliant half-hour.
A new host for Room 101? Page 2
Even Merton looked entertained, which was quite rare. JV was just as brilliant on that Sean Lock show TV Heaven & Hell (?) a couple of years back, redoing his stint on 'Celebrity Poker' at the end. The bloke's a scream on these one to one shows. I want more please, TV bosses!
TV Heaven, Telly Hell is the programme you're referring to.
Bill Bailey
Steven Hawking.
Sadly Richard Burton is no longer with us.
Michael McIntyre as most of his material seems to have come from the more unfunny guests.
Patrick Stewart
or Stuart Pearce
or Stuart Little
or Little Richard
or Richard Littlejohn
or...
I could go on...but I won't
Has anyone mentioned Marcus Brigstocke?
No? Thank Christ for that.
Louie Spence.
How about Abdenour Samuer, one of the so-called "Guantanamo Three"? Or Barry Chuckle (not Paul - too lightweight)?

Good call.

I agree I think that would brilliant.
I can even think of some guests that would be good.
Karl Pilkington
Charlie Brooker
Jack Dee
Frankie Boyle

Not sure about him hosting, but I'd certainly like to put him in Room 101.
Surprised by the suggestions for Frankie Boyle, as he's not done anything like that before, but I can think of people who'd make a worse job. I think Frank Skinner, like some other people, would make a good job of it. Not seen any links to the episode he was on in the Nick Hancock days yet so I'll do the honours.
