Farewell, Jeremy Paxman, you will be missed. And on a side note, I'm glad the Guardian realizes that University Challenge compilations shall always include the legend that is Monkman.
@@anthtan Aside from being a very knowledgeable quizzer, his personality was conducive to a number of RUclips clips and internet discussion centered around his moments on UC.
Paxo: What is another name for “cherrypickers” and “cheesemongers”? Contestant: Homosexuals. Paxo: No. They’re regiments in the British army who will be very upset with you.
I'm going to miss him terribly. He really had some amazing zingers, especially when he was a little faster. The glimpses of his old self we've seen in the last few years were bittersweet - "that's enough from the Uzbek tourist board" (or something like that), etc.
I remember I got a question correct once and felt like the smartest person alive..... then the rest of the quiz humbled me and showed how poor my education was.
Life will never be the same again, we've been watching UC since Dave Garda (thanks Dave) started posting episodes on YT and Paxman has become like a member of the family. Being Australian this is really the only thing Jeremy is known for, apart from his interview with David Bowie. Looking forward to watching the final of finals and I hope he's going to do the Christmas specials one last time.

Sorry, new to the show. Why is Monkman a University Challenge legend?

@@anthtan Monkman had a great run to the final.And then,why, he crashed and burned.His team were way too dependant on him...
He's not dead...
@@TimeAndDateAndName Oh thanks, I was just about to edit my 5-month old comment to add "RIP" until you reminded me....
It will never be the same again without him. Thank you Jeremy for all the entertainment you've given us over so many years.
Paxo: What is another name for “cherrypickers” and “cheesemongers”?
Contestant: Homosexuals.
Paxo: No. They’re regiments in the British army who will be very upset with you.
The answer made even funnier by one of the other groups in the question: the emperor's chambermaids
Of course one of TV's most hilarious moments, but alas too sensitive for the Guardian.
"Well what else is it going to be?"
“It’s housed in Italy…somewhere…”
Oh, Saint Monkman 😂😂😂

Can't believe there is no Hapax Legomenon
Yep, and the "arithmetics" answer from the same year. Missed two gems.
It's a pity they featured one of Monkmanns wrong answers when he had so many right answers!
It was great that Monkman humorously acknowledged that it was a terrible answer!
Monkman and Goldman were legends. Paxman, thank you for your service sir!!
End of an era
Love the Thatcher answer 😅
I’m really going to miss him
Come on now ... 😮😅
@@supercompooper what?
@@岡山大木 He says that a lot 🤓
30 GREAT Years! 🎉🎉🎉
“Inspector Cluseau” 😂😂😂😂😂
I will always remember you.
Fare thee well, dear Paxman.. you will be sadly missed on U.C. 😢🖐️
Where is Hapax Legomenon???
Best of luck to Jeremy on his retirement. I wouldn’t wish Parkinson’s on my worst enemy.

3x3 vibes with Morley (question is also in 3x3 - surely not a coincidence).
The best host of University challenge
Whats the answer to the last one?

Really missed some classics never watching an episode of that...
Rather disappointed not to see ‘Cheesemongers, Bob’s Own and the Immortals’ mentioned here 😂
Its very funny that they were only able to find 1:30 of bits in the whole show
The bloke @0:35 looks exactly like Sheldon lol!
Surprised Brandon isn’t in here
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree?
How did I never know boris Johnson was on university challenge?
It was that boring filler show they run during Christmas break.
University challenge
Any top five MUST include the cheesemongers answer
HAPAX LEGOMENON
Monkman was brilliant but Morley was brillianter
HAPAXLAGONAMANON
I'll never forget the uni that thought Govan was an island (never mind pronouncing it as Go Van... It's pronounced GUVAN/VIN😒)
Everybody hates Monkman!!!!
Paxo was useless on University Challenge. Bamber was miles better.
Ruined by Paxman
RIP Jeremy
Wrong interruption. You lose five points.
He hasn't died.
Oh man
How middle class and boring
A thinly disguised admission you couldn’t answer any of the questions.
@@peterdelmonte9832 absolutely correct got better things to do like making a living, how middle class and spoilt
@@selfpreservationsociety Yeah. Knowing things is such a pointless waste of time.
@@czgibson3086 go tidy your room,
what a lower class and boring comment
