Alex Horne, Louis Smith, Paloma Faith, Josh Widdicombe and Tony Law Summary
Noel Fielding and Phill Jupitus are joined by host, musical comedian Alex Horne and his band. Olympian and Strictly star Louis Smith and Paloma Faith also join in the comedy pop quiz capers alongside comedians Josh Widdicombe and Tony Law.
Never Mind the Buzzcocks is the quiz show where musicians try to be funny and comedians try to be musical. Two teams of celebrities answer questions about pop music, guess songs after hearing their teammates sing the intros, and try to find the former popstar hidden in a lineup of look-alikes.
Guests on the show are frequently the targets for pointed jokes about their careers or public personas. Both longtime hosts Mark Lamarr and Simon Amstell fostered an atmosphere of playful hostility (although Amstell was criticized for taking this too far). Now that the show has moved to a format with a new guest host every week, much of the mocking comes in the form of the host's jokes at his own expense.
Phill Jupitus has been a team captain since the show's inception, with Sean Hughes, Bill Bailey, and current captain Noel Fielding playing the part of his rival.
