BBC’s “Pointless” Guest Hosts Revealed; Andi Oliver, Nish Kumar & Sally Phillips
There will be eight more famous faces joining Alexander Armstrong on this season’s Pointless on BBC One.
Andi Oliver, Gyles Brandreth, Nish Kumar, Lucy Porter, Ria Lina, Rose Matafeo, Sally Phillips, and Vick Hope are just some of the famous people getting ready to share some pointless yet interesting facts with the public.
After Richard Osman left the show in 2022, longtime host Alexander Armstrong has welcomed such stars as Sally Lindsay, Lauren Laverne, Stephen Mangan, Konnie Huq, Alex Brooker, and Ed Gamble to the stage as guest presenters.
Pointless host Alexander Armstrong says: “It has been a really fun process sharing the hosting with so many different guests. They have all brought their own styles and senses of humour, keeping the show fresh and exciting every time and I can’t wait to welcome more celebrity hosts to the show this year.”
Andi Oliver adds: “Oh I’m SO excited to be getting to sit in the famous chair next to the delicious Alexander Armstrong! I’ve been on both ends of the pointless scale, winning AND being booted off first! So I’m rather thrilled that this time I’ve been invited to be in the comfy seat! Sign me up!”
Gyles Brandreth says: “As a little boy, I dreamed of being one of Santa’s little helpers. I have to tell you, being Xander’s little helper is even more fun. It’s like Christmas every day. I love it.”
Rose Matafeo comments: “I am over the moon to be co-hosting Pointless. As an ardent fan of television quiz shows, this is my Everest.
“When I first moved to the UK, I had a lot of time on my hands to watch hours of TV, ingratiating myself into British society with the help of insights I would learn from this nightly poll of 100 people. I also did it to make my friends jealous. “
Pointless is a Remarkable Entertainment (a Banijay UK company) production for BBC One. It is commissioned by Rob Unsworth, Head of BBC Daytime and Early Peak, and Neil McCallum, Commissioning Editor. Tamara Gilder is executive producer for Remarkable Entertainment, alongside Laura Turner.
