[quote]Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson will return to the BBC to host an episode of satirical news quiz Have I Got News For You next month.
He will join team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton when the new series returns on 2 October.
Clarkson pulled out of hosting the BBC One panel show in April, after being sacked from Top Gear after a "fracas".[/quote]

Simple: don't drink.
I suspect top gear will be off limits as a topic.

Nothing's off limits in Have I Got News For You. I'll be surprised if there ISN'T at least a vague joke about it.

Ian constantly goes for the jugular with politicians who go on the show, would be pretty sad if Jeremy of all people couldn't handle a little ribbing.

You've never seen the show have you
HIGNFY is one of my favourite quiz shows, the contestants literally get ripped apart.
Favourite episode was Lee Mack hosting and Nigel Farage was one of the contestants.
It was a bit meh. The usual piss-taking would have been great, but the producers knew that Osman despises Clarkson - and his sticking the knife in just got old and more awkward than anything. Clarkson couldn't exactly fire it all back as usual, either.
( also it was edited awfully - I imagine the extended edition will be better )
I thought it was a good episode but I agree that Osman's jabs got a bit old by the end
I used to really love Paul Merton on HIGNFY when I was younger but I feel he contributes so little nowadays and Hislop is way better
I thought Hislop was great. Got bored of Osman's cheap jokes pretty quickly though. There is so much material there and all of it went to waste.
Also what the hell was up with editing. A lot of it seemed choppy and jumped around.

I noticed this too. I figured that the show either went on too long for television or they were omitting more controversial parts.
Yeah Osman came across as a bit of a tool really didn't he.
Richard Osman is a swell guy, his jabs didn't really bother me. He seems to be quite popular online because of it all right now.
