Paxman hosts panel show
JEREMY Paxman will make his presenting debut on Have I Got News For You when the panel show returns for a new series.
The former Newsnight host will join regular team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop, as well as guest panellists Josh Widdicombe and Steph Mcgovern in the first of nine episodes on Friday.
Comedian and actor Greg Davies will also take on hosting duties for the first time after previously appearing as a panellist.
Paxman’s role was confirmed after Merton and Hislop said the lack of female MPS acting as guest hosts is because they do not want the job, not because they are not asked.
