Never in the history of television has a replacement for a particular identity been chosen so well. Equally as great a host as Stephen but makes the job hers in her own unique way.
I'm a bit sad her train ride anecdotes didn't make it in here! One where she and her mother had a Butler named Tybalt, the other where she yelled at some rowdy boys and they said sorry. XD
It just shows how good Sandi is, one of the only people who has a more unbelievable story than Stephen Fry’s Queen nudging him in the ribs and asking for cake story, she was at mission control when we landed on the moon.
@@paul83byrne You should try to track down the audio from when she appeared on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue (back in the Humphrey Littleton days) and she corpsed at the introduction to Sound Charades. It's a classic!
I'm sure I've seen that scene in a movie, with some child holding some woman's hand in that moon landing moment. But I can't remember what movie. Anybody remember?
I ran into sandi at a restaurant, i waited until she was getting ready to leave and had finished her dinner before i went up to her and said that i didnt want to disturb her. She said it was fine and called me a lovely young man lol
I cut get the image of Sandi as M in James Bond calling up 007 and just, "Bond! You utter bastard, what did you do?" And it slowly turning into Hellsing Abridged whemever Integra needs to call Alucard,
When I first heard Stephen was being replaced I was shocked and thought any replacement they get will never measure up...how wrong i was, Sandi is fantastic!!!
Sandi rides roughshod over Stephen. I adore how she lets the guests go off without that fake disapproval that Stephen did. Onya Sandi, you have a lifelong fan here.
Sandi is the BEST HOST for this show. So delightful..funny and sarcastic and has the most contagious laugh. She has great interpersonal skills and well spoken and articulate..all in all -GREAT!
"For about a year I worked as a journalist, and we used to drink at a pub that was half journalists and half crooks (not easy to tell the difference, to be honest)" 😁
How about a compilation of Gyles Brandreth's anecdotes? Such as the one about where he ate a human pie! You could also include the one where Sandi tells Sally Phillips off for asking him to expand upon a story that he was telling.
I love Sandis anecdotes. The one about her grandfather and his glass eye is priceless. I love how she enjoys the other panelists input so much. 😄 I nominate her to present next years Oscars. 😂
I sat next to her brother at school (circa 1971?), he was Nick Toksvig. Ten years later she was presenting No.73 a kids Saturday morning TV prog from Southern television. I never made that connection until now....dur! (as we said at the time.)
There’s an episode of The News Quiz where everyone is dying and Mark Steele says, “I love your anecdotes Sandi, but I’m not sure I believe them (imitating Sandi) I once went to the moon. . .”
4:00 Alan has unlocked the secret verbal code to break Sandi. Good moment, just too bad that I'd have to do like 2 years of vocal study and watch the sound of music weekly to understand it.
Sandi's laughing breakdown over Alan's crazed Julie Andrews is one of my favourite QI moments ever, it will always make me cry with laughter along with her.
This is great, but there are so few minutes shown! Do an hour long compilation, or longer, there are so many many more wonderful things for us to see by Sandi :)
The way Alan reduced Sandi to tears of delight after her very brief story about meeting Julie Andrews has to be the winner with Grandpas glass eye coming in second.
It was so strange, when Sandi started presenting QI. I couldn't watch at first at all. But after a long while after a few clips on UA-cam I started liking her a lot and now I think she is a perfect successor for this role
I've been binging the QI clips from America, and I have to say, at first I was slightly upset that Stephen left the show, but once Sandi has proven to be at least as good of a host as he was. Actually she might be even funnier than him. It's a real shame the BBC won't pay her as much money as Stephen got.
I went through the same adjustment period, I guess poor Sandi had to prove herself to me lol. She did, quickly and fully. As for the pay, you're absolutely correct, but then that's a pretty "normal" circumstance for women no matter what field they're in, athletes, performers, down to janitorial workers. The pay inequality needs to go the way of the dodo, no particular reason for it
The pay gap here might be a bit more complicated. I know Sandi looms large in TV and culture, but I imagine a lot more people want Stephen's input into projects than Sandi, and thus a larger pay offer is one incentive to get Stephen to work on QI. The difference still sucks, but it's probably not just the executives looking at Sandi and seeing a woman and this subconsciously leads to a lower pay offer.
@@Delinae Yeah, who knows what all factored into her pay here, I just mentioned the pay gap as a general thing. Stephen is also higher class, knows more powerful people, has more clout and leverage. No way of knowing how that factored in either
@@oliviagreen7423 that's true, I didn't mean to undercut what you said. I'm sure Stephen being a man also has a lot to do with him getting to know powerful people with more clout.
On the night of the moon landing, our family stayed up late to watch. My aged grandmother, blind, had to have things explained to her. She'd been born in 1881, and kept saying, over and over, that God never intended man to be on the moon. His place was on earth and we were flying in the face of God to attempt it. Even after the echo of "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind" had died away, she kept muttering to herself that, "It can't be; it can't be." Until the day she died, she could not reconcile the moon landing with what she'd been told as a little girl.
My grand father swore that was the day global warming started and he went to his grave thirty years later still convinced the landing on the moon turned the world upside down.
Never in the history of television has a replacement for a particular identity been chosen so well.
Equally as great a host as Stephen but makes the job hers in her own unique way.
Rob Brydon in Would I Lie To You was also a stellar choice
@@JonasHamill Indeed. However, Rob is good, Angus was meh in my opinion. And Stephen and Sandi are both great, though each in their own way.
She's spectacular, just like Stephen ❤
pitulanek Yeah, fair point. Sandi and Stephen are both brilliant and Rob is a definite improvement.
@@Seershae *Hear hear
Sandi is like someone you meet on a long train and come away a better person.
Nathan Hall exactly.
@@eiypo Just the ones with many carriages. The length of the trip surprisingly has little to no impact on your quality of life
EIYPO it’s up to the imagination

It's funny i saw On QI first and had to "get used" to seeing Stephen as host.... Proposterus
I love it when Sandi loses it over Alan’s Julie Andrews bit😂🤣😂🤣😂
Sandi.exe has stopped working 😂
Alan Davies seems to always have a train of thought rearing to go... Like that time he went on and on just telling bad jokes.
I love it when Sandi loses it. She has the best laugh
@@paul83byrne You should try to track down the audio from when she appeared on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue (back in the Humphrey Littleton days) and she corpsed at the introduction to Sound Charades. It's a classic!
It's a clip I always get a good giggle from
Sandi has by far provided some of best anecdotes on QI, period. The one about the one-eyed drinking grandfather is always good for a laugh.
That and the gay rodeo where they put underpants on a goat ... 🤣
I remember that, when Stephen Fry hosted. She was bril on both sides: as a guest and as a host. Wonder if she'll take QI further or do sth else.
Sandi's "moon landing"-related story is probably my favorite
I was thinking she'd end it with, "And that's when i became a lesbian."
I'm sure I've seen that scene in a movie, with some child holding some woman's hand in that moon landing moment. But I can't remember what movie.
Anybody remember?
"D'you like 'em tied up with string? I bet you do, girl. I bet you do!"
Surely only Alan could produce a QI/Sound of Music/Monty Python mash-up.
Nudge nudge wink wink.
@@simontay4851 Say. No. MOAH.
the accent is what really makes it
I love the satisfaction on his face, when he makes Sandi cry from laughter 🤣🤣🤣

How short was your dressing gown?
Awww brilliant to hear she was lovely :D
Did you have a gin and tonic with her?
So lucky
4:43 I like how happy Alan is with being able to make Sandi lose it
I just love this marvellous woman, she either gives me the giggles or face ache from too wide a grin.
Amen to that
She's had some life has our Sandi!
I do love how her Julie Andrews anecdote is just her laughing so much the glasses come off XD
Never leave us Sandi. Never leave us.
I cut get the image of Sandi as M in James Bond calling up 007 and just, "Bond! You utter bastard, what did you do?" And it slowly turning into Hellsing Abridged whemever Integra needs to call Alucard,
Rhod missed an opportunity to say "Too bad you and Daniel didn't have martinis. You'd be shaken, not stirred"
Qi means the world to me, whenever i go through hard times, Stephen and Sandy always cheer me up ♥️
Same here, gets me through the dark days.
That's almost exactly the reason I clicked onto this video. (That, and I wanted to hear the Mission Control story again.)
Yes. QI and Taskmaster are my helpers.
When I first heard Stephen was being replaced I was shocked and thought any replacement they get will never measure up...how wrong i was, Sandi is fantastic!!!

Oh, I do love Sandy. So intelligent and witty.
Sandi is wonderful. I wish my life was half as exciting as hers...
The Julie Andrews one gets me every time! Crying with laughter
I love Sandis' hysterical laughter.
It makes me laugh.
I saw her on her tour earlier this year and I could have just listened to her and her anecdotes for hours ❤️
I was going to comment the exact same thing, I didn't want to leave 👍😊
I could listen to your stories all day long Sandi.
Sandi is an absolute gem
Now we need one "best of" or "anecdotes" of Gyles Brandreth. I believe that will be a very long video.
You would need some popcorn for that. It will be many many hours long.
@@simontay4851 It would if you did them one per video. All together, it would have to be a 24/7 live stream.
Check out his podcast with Suzie Dent called Something Rhymes With Purple
The Gyles Brandreth vs. Jimmie Carr banter is worth reseeing those episodes over and over for.
It began at your request and I just finished watching it today 11 months later.
I bloody love Sandi. Character. If you try to define it you won't do it justice but she's got it.
There is a distinct possibility that the world’s most interesting man is a woman named Sandi...
Possibility? Fact.
I genuinely don't understand why your comment was phrased that way. Why not "most interesting person"? Is it a reference to something?
Radical.Compounds It is a meme from a Dos Equis beer ad campaign (at least that’s what I associate it with)
@@fridajohannesdottir2342 oh I see! Thanks. As a non drinker I guess I never came across it or never paid attention
@@DelinaeIt is a joke, thats why it's phrased like that
I think what this really should be called is a QI Compliation of Sandi's shirts.
Sandi has had such an extraordinary life, an absolute national treasure.
Sandi, like Stephen, has had such a fascinating and hilarious life
"For about a year I worked as a journalist, and we used to drink at a pub that was half journalists and half crooks (not easy to tell the difference, to be honest)" 😁
I'm so glad Alan stayed on when it switched from Stephen to Sandi, both hosts are just so amused by him!
How about a compilation of Gyles Brandreth's anecdotes? Such as the one about where he ate a human pie! You could also include the one where Sandi tells Sally Phillips off for asking him to expand upon a story that he was telling.
Sure why not. I have an hour free to watch Gyles' anecdotes...
@@Sienrel I'm afraid you'll need a lot more time than that
Is UA-cam big enough to host a compilation of Giles’ anecdotes?
Reply #2: Sure, why not? I’ll be quarantined for at least four days waiting for my wife’s test results to come in....
It would probably end up being one big "Gyles' family tree"
This and an Aisling Bea compilation, and my life is complete
10 mins of "em"
Yeah all she says is "umm"
I love Sandis anecdotes. The one about her grandfather and his glass eye is priceless. I love how she enjoys the other panelists input so much. 😄 I nominate her to present next years Oscars. 😂
I can't wait for the Anecdotes from Sandi about what she got up to during those Winter days where it was pretty much dark all the time...
Sandy’s giggles are so wholesome and wonderful! Straight up makes my day sometimes.
I can't decide which story is funnier. I'll go with her calling Craig a bastard
I cannot love this woman more
I sat next to her brother at school (circa 1971?), he was Nick Toksvig. Ten years later she was presenting No.73 a kids Saturday morning TV prog from Southern television. I never made that connection until now....dur! (as we said at the time.)

its not often when the new host of a show is just as good as the old one.. well done Qi
Sandi is such a huge treasure!
Sandi is awesome. :D
Hooray! I was eagerly awaiting this one!
Holy shit she's had some colorful adventures!

We love the show.
We need a compilation of Stephen, Sandi, Gyles and Alan anecdotes. One for one. And then we can vote to see who's got the best story of all.
gyle's anecdote about the human pie easily, even alan cracked up as soon as he'd said it
@@lauram5905 I like the 'longest kiss' story too ...
