Kowloon is another one. Kowloon is a corruption of GauLong which means nine dragons. There are eight hills each one representing a dragon - the ninth (and hence the name) comes from the Emperor, who is also a dragon in mythology, made up the extra one
@jagobot1487 he didnt forget . He did it on purpose. Like Rhod always saying that all the Scandinavian countries are the same - Alan is saying Scottish and Welsh folk are the same. (Im half Scottish and half Welsh so im both lol)
I can not stand Alan, he is an attention whore, many times he just talks over people that are saying something of interest. I wish they got rid of him, I do not know why he is always on this show.

I've not watched this show for a couple of years (am in the Netherlands), and had no idea Steven Fry had left. But holy shit they seem to have found the perfect replacement in Sandi, i always loved her as a guest in British panelshows and she looks like a brilliant host.
When Stephen announced that he was leaving QI I thought that nobody would be anywhere near as good as him and this show would turn to shit. How wrong was I? Sandi Toksvig is the perfect host. Nobody can be better than Stephen but she is most definitely equally as good.
She is great at this, I understand why Stephen commanded a higher price but wish it weren't so... But more importantly I think Stephen needs to appear as a guest.
You should also check out the QI Elves when they tour. If you didn't know, they have a weekly podcast called No Such Thing As A Fish, and they've recently finished the UK leg of their tour, with the European leg soon to start. They record a live podacst in the second half of the show and they first half is more akin to stand-up, but playing to their individual strengths (I've still got the Baby Shark song stuck in my head thanks to James Harkin's version of it!)
It really is, I was in the audience a few weeks ago for a recording of the Q series. They do loads of audience bits beforehand, and of course, there are about 2 hours of filming so you see a lot more than the TV episode shows. I was in stitches for the whole 2 hours, bloody brilliant time.
It is fun. But be prepared to queue up for at least two hours to be let in, and there's no guarantee of getting in so if you arrive less than two hours before doors open you'll be at the end of a very long line and might not get in. But it if free. Each show takes at least two hours to record because they shoot a lot of stuff that hey then edit down, and at the end they usually retake a few odd lines where the sound was bad or whatever. And by the time it is broadcast it is months later and so you've forgotten almost all the stuff they said. Another good show to go to a recording is the radio show The Unbelievable Truth, where each panelist has to give a lecture on a subject that is completely made up apart from five true facts, and the other guests have to spot them. Listen to ruclips.net/video/g3FXAs15qAU/видео.html
Sandi replacing Stephen is the most perfect casting move in the history of all video entertainment. I think Stephen should come on as a guest, that'd be brilliant.
Sandi was a refreshing change to panel interactions. And in effect it was just a simple switch- Stephen was easy to bully and turns in a gentlemanly puppy, but Sandi bites back
I personally find that less funny, though. There needs to be contrast for entertainment. Besides, there were times when Stephen was quite good at getting to the panel. He just had more balance.
@@tvdan1043 I can't decide if you've done that on purpose or not. I've decided to say you have, and add the apocryphal but maybe true note that the highest point in Florida is a landfill.

@@ilovemydog6847 well that depends on when she came out as gay and if she'd had sex with a guy before that. And besides, it really fucking funny for those of us who do have sex with men😛
Sandi should definitely be paid the same as Fry, for she is a true rarity. You couldn't get anyone more perfect for QI. Fry and Sandi were carved from the same tree.
Sandi was like David Mitchell. She was a smart person who grew up a little out of touch with normal life due to her education and experience. If you watch her early appearances she was very strangely dressed, and a little repressed. Not experienced with such shows, being in front of people, but very smart and educated. As time passed, just like David, she really blossomed on these shows with being in front of people and her personality opened up into a very likable person. Grew into a well liked host and guest just like David. Funny, smart, and now finally, great with people.
they should have had rhod and lee mack on at the same time and just the two of them keep conversing, progressively get their facts more and more wrong.
The episode of Would I Lie to You with Rhod telling his story about paying for Tapas with a Nissan micra, you have Lee Mack and David Mitchell there too - it's TV gold.
This episode about the hills and the episode about the wind had me laughing so much it hurt and watching again has me in tears I can't catch my breath. Just magic.
OMG the revenge against Rhod was priceless!!! :) Love you Sandy! Truly a fitting replacement toe to toe with Stephen. I will not suggest one better than the other as I love you both and will not dishonor the position of QI Jedi as you are both, IMHO, equally deserving of the title. HUZZAH!
Dubuque, Iowa is hilly. It has a funicular railroad. It was built by a business man in the 1890s whose house was on a Mississippi river bluff. It was built to reduce travel time as he liked to take a nap after lunch.

LOL! The best (worst?) possible combination for winding up either Sandi or Stephen is Alan Davies and Bill Bailey. Those two together are comedy gold the way they play off each other.
Oh, I do love QI. I loved it with Stephen as host and rarely missed an episode and Sandi managed to step right in and take it up seamlessly. This compilation was just hilarious.
Thank goodness I have found QI. Funniest damn thing ever!! My husband works in a large hospital. I play one of these segments for him every night when he gets home from work. Never fails to make him laugh. Thanks to all!!
FWIW, on December 22, 2019 sunrise and sunset at the northernmost tip of Denmark were at 8:59:37 AM and 3:32:15 PM, resulting in just a hair over 6 hours and 32.5 minutes of daylight.
The wind debacle is to Sandi, in the way the acropolis was to Stephen. Although I'd give Sandi more points for control. I still laughed the same amount!
I never heard of the show before and I just came across this video scrolling RUclips at 12:38 AM July 6, 2021. Thank you thank you thank you. 🤣 I laughed so hard I have tears in my eyes. I laughed out loud, in my apartment alone. I can’t think of when I laughed that hard for that long…. 🤔before my husband passed away six years ago. I really needed that laughter, and the endorphins. Thank you thank you thank you. 💟
Such absolute lads when they all got up and left. No signals, they just bailed in solidarity. The camaraderie is just amazing and hilarious. That black-haired lady's laughter just elevated it even further.
I thought no-one could possibly replace Stephen Fry hosting QI, and that it would be the death of the show. But Sandi has done it with absolute aplomb, she is so brilliant in the role and makes it seem utterly effortless. I enjoy it just as much since she took over, if - dare I say it - occasionally more.
I once attended a live "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" show at Manchester Apollo...must have been around 6 or 7 years ago. Jack Dee was supposed to host, but wasn't able to, so Sandy Toksvig did it. The show was great (as ever) but the best part of it, was watching Sandi having the time of her life! She was laughing her head off most of the show and it was a real joy to see. I love Sandi Toksvig.
Sandi is basically like that one nice-but-easily-irritable teachers you have, who nobody expects to be cool, but is. Basically my A - Level Cemeg teacher.
Sandy toksvig is absolutely delightful! I love her random Scandinavian facts as well. So much so that I feel like I should share one of my own: the theme song from the video game mortal Kombat is based on an old Scandinavian Church song. Specifically, a Finnish Hymn
I have one for you too - the theme song for The Book of Boba, composed by Ludwig Göranson, was inspired by a song from the old Swedish movie: Ronja Rövardotter
Sandi T's pulled off one of the hardest succession jobs in TV...and made it her own at the same time. She deserves all the praise she gets...
And wind.

Oh, I do love QI. I loved it with Stephen as host and rarely missed an episode and Sandi managed to step right in and take it up seamlessly. This compilation was just hilarious.
"Does this qualify as entertainment?"
YES!!
Yes it does.
i absolutely love it when Bill says: Ehh Bill, put your Wine away and Shut the fuck up! - i roared with laughter for ages hahaha
Thank goodness I have found QI.
Funniest damn thing ever!!
My husband works in a large hospital. I play one of these segments for him every night when he gets home from work. Never fails to make him laugh.
Thanks to all!!
When Stephen left QI I thought how could anybody possibly follow that, but Sandi is absolutely chuffin' brilliant.
The whole “hilly” bit absolutely killed me
Sandi was the only one who could replace Stephen, and to be honest, I like her better in some ways. She’s always on my dream dinner party guest list!
I thought no one besides Stephen would be able to coral that herd of nonsense that is the QI panel. Oh, how wrong I was!
nothing like a mom to lasso rowdy not-acting-their-agesters
@@CorvusCorone68 what?
@@heatherheather7817 she's a mom, she knows how to control kids
She was a great choice
FWIW, on December 22, 2019 sunrise and sunset at the northernmost tip of Denmark were at 8:59:37 AM and 3:32:15 PM, resulting in just a hair over 6 hours and 32.5 minutes of daylight.
The wind debacle is to Sandi, in the way the acropolis was to Stephen. Although I'd give Sandi more points for control. I still laughed the same amount!
I never heard of the show before and I just came across this video scrolling RUclips at 12:38 AM July 6, 2021. Thank you thank you thank you. 🤣 I laughed so hard I have tears in my eyes. I laughed out loud, in my apartment alone. I can’t think of when I laughed that hard for that long…. 🤔before my husband passed away six years ago.
I really needed that laughter, and the endorphins.
Thank you
thank you
thank you. 💟
This is the second best QI discovery ive ever heard of
I love how Rhod's "dark all the time" joke winds up Allan way more than it does Sandi.
Such absolute lads when they all got up and left. No signals, they just bailed in solidarity. The camaraderie is just amazing and hilarious. That black-haired lady's laughter just elevated it even further.
Claudia laughs a lot. She's brilliant on WILTY and on Taskmaster, and her laughter at Sean Lock on Cats Does Countdown was amazing.
I just love how "rumpled" Claudia looks sometimes. That coy lil wink....
She is a sexy wench
Bill Bailey: "Oh I'm ready, I'm ready baby! Say the words, lady!"
Sandi: "Bill! Shut the fuck up!"
Finally, somebody said it!
I thought no-one could possibly replace Stephen Fry hosting QI, and that it would be the death of the show. But Sandi has done it with absolute aplomb, she is so brilliant in the role and makes it seem utterly effortless. I enjoy it just as much since she took over, if - dare I say it - occasionally more.
I do love it when the panel goes completely out of control 😂
That boat scene is Sandi's Parthenon moment :)
Ah, Bill Bailey. A true treasure.
I love it 🥰 how Alan gets as annoyed at Rod Gilbert as you want Sandy to get at Rod saying that Denmark 🇩🇰 has almost no daylight .
Sandi has made this her own. Never thought anyone could replace Mr Fry, but I have been wonderfully surprised!
I once attended a live "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" show at Manchester Apollo...must have been around 6 or 7 years ago. Jack Dee was supposed to host, but wasn't able to, so Sandy Toksvig did it. The show was great (as ever) but the best part of it, was watching Sandi having the time of her life! She was laughing her head off most of the show and it was a real joy to see. I love Sandi Toksvig.
Probably the best, second only to Stephen I believe. Smart, witty and always ready with an answer
I love her so much. Fry could not have had a better successor.
Sandi is basically like that one nice-but-easily-irritable teachers you have, who nobody expects to be cool, but is.
Basically my A - Level Cemeg teacher.
Mrs Beard, RE, Collenswood, Stevenage, 1970's.
I know. She is like my high school English teacher.
Going from Stephen to Sandi is like watching the Doctor regenerate.
Hills banter had me in tears laughing! Amazing!
Sandi is an absolute treasure!
At 8:25 I laughed so hard. '' ere Bailey put you're wine away, and shut the f**k up!. 😂
Sandy toksvig is absolutely delightful! I love her random Scandinavian facts as well. So much so that I feel like I should share one of my own: the theme song from the video game mortal Kombat is based on an old Scandinavian Church song. Specifically, a Finnish Hymn
I have one for you too - the theme song for The Book of Boba, composed by Ludwig Göranson, was inspired by a song from the old Swedish movie: Ronja Rövardotter
Finland isn’t part of Scandinavia though
@@nightsgrow6575 People often use Scandinavia as shorthand for Fenno-Scandinavia, which does include Finland.
I adore Sandi, and she's absolutely marvelous as a host, but I *do* rather chuckle when she gets her temper up and I'm sorry about that
Manatee Man it's really funny, Stephen just usually collapsed in a "please stop" way. Sandi just gets angry.
No, don't be sorry about it. Mwahahaha.
I don't think she's really angry lol
Sandi was always the only possible successor to Stephen IMO, she’s ferociously intelligent and has the personality and wit to carry it off.
