Overall: Hi Launchballer, many thanks for expanding this great article. Are you OK to share credit with User:Gr8gibsoni, given that their original creation is within the 7 days so also qualifies? On the hook, I am fine with either of the top two hooks. On the first, the Guardian source seems to have been written before the show aired – are you sure they formally decided to dispense with rotating presenters? And on the second, I couldn’t see the 20 years mentioned in the Guardian article, and I don’t have access to the Telegraph article – would it be possible to bring a quote?

The Guardian refers to the British version dispensing with guest hosts in 2002 and that piece was written in 2024. Regarding the Telegraph, if you're quick, you can just use Ctrl+A --> Ctrl+C to copy the article elsewhere before reading it or you can use archive.ph to archive it. However, upon rereading it, I don't see where it spells out that it was in fact broadcast (he could conceivably have been given a preview copy) so I've added one that does. I have no objection to sharing credit.--Launchballer 10:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

OK thank you Launchballer. Let’s go with ALT0 re guest host / permanent host. Please could you add a sentence into the article to make this crystal clear – to my read, someone clicking through to find out what the hook was referring to will struggle to piece it together at the moment. Ideally the new sentence would be supported by a source which states explictly that the show will have a permanent host (this is implied in every source I have read, but not quite spelled out in most cases).

Latenighter.com, which I've just added, writes that "Have I Got News For You, CNN’s highly-anticipated new comedy program, has found its host in The Daily Show veteran Roy Wood Jr.", emphasis mine. (It's a shame that UKGameshows.com probably isn't reliable.)--Launchballer 12:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
