Yeah, Buzzcocks really is an improv actor's gig. JB is witty, but he'd run out of replies pretty quickly, or devolve into nothing but dick and fart jokes. You need someone who's had training. Lamarr and Amstell both had it, so did Hughes, Bailey, and Fielding. Jupitus is the music expert, but he's funny in his own right.

I don't think they're looking in the right places for a replacement.
