Never Mind the Buzzcocks
Never Mind the Buzzcocks is technically a gameshow, but it's more like an embarrassment engine into which celebrities are ruthlessly fed.
The ringmaster of humiliation was originally Mark Lamarr, who eventually left for pastures new, and the show then welcomed a series of guest hosts, including one Simon Amstell, who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of music despite being about 12.
Since taking over as host full time, Amstell has good-naturedly victimised hordes of self-important poptarts, most famously Preston from Ordinary Boys who stormed out in a girly huff.
The only way to defeat the Amstell is to either affect John Barrowman-levels of cheerful charm, or go weirdly berserk. Perhaps the greatest follower of the latter path has been Amy Winehouse, who lovingly caressed Amstell's face, spat on the floor and declared that she would rather have "cat AIDS" than duet with Katie Melua. Guess Amy won't be part of the next Live Aid song, then.
