The beatification of Clive Myrie continues, as, just six weeks after John Humphrys announces his departure from Mastermind, Clive boosts his current £215k pa by taking over the quizmaster's chair.
I can find no previous trace of Clive hosting a quiz, though he has been a panellist on Celebrity Eggheads, Richard Osman's House of Games, Would I Lie To You ? and Have I Got News For You ?
How will he fare ? 'Ordinary' Mastermind has fallen behind Only Connect and University Challenge, returning around 2m audiences rather than 3m. 'Celebrity' Mastermind can reach over 6m, on the right day.
