Despite HIGNFY scheduled series ending in a fortnight, Amol Rajan will be hosting an episode on election day+1. That episode is usually filmed on the Friday morning rather than Thursday evening I believe, and more often than not has had Jo Brand hosting in the recent past.

Amol was due to be this week’s presenter.

Presumably he was taken off as he's a journalist and the BBC want to keep them away from satire?
