A couple of months ago, I stumbled onto a British show called Never Mind the Buzzcocks, which is a hilarious panel game much like Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!, except it's televised and focuses on pop music rather than politics. A great majority of the show's charm comes from its very particular dynamic, which consists of pairing wittily sardonic comedians with flavor-of-the-week indie artists.
I was very lucky in that I was able to catch all the Simon Amstell-era episodes before the BBC started removing episodes here and there. I highly recommend the series, and if you enjoy the same stupid-in-a-smart-way (or smart-in-a-stupid-way; I'm still trying to figure which one is right) kind of humor I do, expect to blow an entire weekend on the series. Here's a little taste, courtesy of the candyman:
Guests: Nicholas Hoult, Midge Ure (from Ultravox), Romeo Stodart (from The Magic Numbers) & Russell Howard. Context for some of the jokes: In the episode prior, one of the guests, Samuel Preston of The Ordinary Boys, walked off in the middle of the show because Amstell kept clowning on his wife's autobiography.
Bonus: Best "guess who" round ever.
Again, the BBC is removing episodes on YouTube periodically, so if you enjoy these, watch them as soon as you can.
