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.
Sorry, new to the show. Why is Monkman a University Challenge legend?
@@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.
@@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...
@@jagjitroudh9894 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.
Can't believe there is no Hapax Legomenon
Yep, and the "arithmetics" answer from the same year. Missed two gems.
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.
“It’s housed in Italy…somewhere…”
Oh, Saint Monkman 😂😂😂
"Well what else is it going to be?"
Come on, the "Dave Garda" answer should at least been mentioned.
@@BrotherChad I used to watch his uploads of UC, but I didn't realise he was so well known till I saw that moment! (Unless it was a reference to someone with the same name?)
@@FinleyHills I have to think Dave's uploads are one of the contestants' favorite study sources, so I'm pretty confident they're one and the same
@@TheConfuzzledCat Thank you! :)
I’m really going to miss him
Come on now ... 😮😅
@@supercompooper what?
@@user-nx9eq2wq7t He says that a lot 🤓
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.
Monkman and Goldman were legends. Paxman, thank you for your service sir!!
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!
End of an era
Love the Thatcher answer 😅
30 GREAT Years! 🎉🎉🎉
I will always remember you.
Fare thee well, dear Paxman.. you will be sadly missed on U.C. 😢🖐️
“Inspector Cluseau” 😂😂😂😂😂
Where is Hapax Legomenon???
3x3 vibes with Morley (question is also in 3x3 - surely not a coincidence).
Really missed some classics never watching an episode of that...
Best of luck to Jeremy on his retirement. I wouldn’t wish Parkinson’s on my worst enemy.
Whats the answer to the last one?
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.
The bloke @0:35 looks exactly like Sheldon lol!
Surprised Brandon isn’t in here
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree?
Its very funny that they were only able to find 1:30 of bits in the whole show
Rather disappointed not to see ‘Cheesemongers, Bob’s Own and the Immortals’ mentioned here 😂
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.
How did I never know boris Johnson was on university challenge?
Bring back Paxman !!!
He resigned because he has Parkinsons disease...
University challenge
Any top five MUST include the cheesemongers answer
HAPAXLAGONAMANON
Paxo was useless on University Challenge. Bamber was miles better.
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
University challenge
