They are paid astronomical fees for appearing on the show, so you think they'd at least pretend to look bothered

Do you have inside information then?
What does Paul Merton get? Fourteen years ago they got £12,000 a show and while no one will confirm the current stipend, £40,000 per show is not far off the mark for the duo described by Boris as 'the demigods of the tart rejoinder'. |

I wasn't here last week and there were no comments. Was it that bad?

It was a good episode I thought. Unfortunately Paul Merton was very lively, so we weren't treated to another page of people whingeing about bored he looks or how dialled in his performance is.

£40,000 has been suggested- if true it's obscene! |

The fact that you can cite last week's input from him as "very lively" does inadvertently prove that most of the time he phones it in!

The amount of Corbyn-bashing tonight is ridiculous.

Paul looks very stern when the camera went on him at various points tonight. Does he usually get on with David Mitchell?
Like when the boss you hate at work tells a bad joke and you have to try very hard to smile. Oh and did that women who was on Ian's team actually speak? |

Well Rose Matafeo was completely useless.
About the money thing, I'm surprised HIGNFY doesn't have more high profile guests, it seems to get fewer than it used to, considering it is the most watched panel show on TV. So maybe the money isn't that much. |

The woman 'panellist' may as well have been in the audience....total waste of time, shouldn't even be given the fee for her appearance.

We pay his wages so it could be online somewhere but reading this URL http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-20-years.html

Rather than being informed quotes, these figures are actually part of the text written by the Daily Mail reporter. We cannot rely on their accuracy. |

The odd thing about many of Corbyn's supporters is they seem to be completely uncomfortable when he's the centre of attention. If they hear one word that isn't totally positive (such as humorous satire), they move in for the attack like a pack of wolves.
I suppose that's what comes from supporting a politician who's spent his entire career invisible on the backbenches. They're not used to suddenly being in the spotlight. Corbyn receives no more criticism in this programme than any other main party leader. |

This series seems so flat, maybe it's coming in after the brilliant Wilty, with some of the same guests but it's just not happening for me this time. Paul actually seems to be trying too. Maybe it needs some better guests e.g. Ross Noble, Bill Bailey, people who are reliably funny or mix the politicians up, I mean I didn't but the majority of the country did support Brexit after all.

Given a choice between the two I'd still choose HIGNFY over Would I Lie To You, even though the latter has more laugh-out-loud moments. It must be a very difficult format for unknowns to slot in to, but they must feel obliged to vary the panellists from the few who are known to really thrive in that kind of improvised format.
