On paper Anne Robinson was never a good fit for the show and so proved to be the case.  It seems to be the case though with so many long running shows they have to get it so wrong before a year or so later bringing in the obvious replacement.

My point is I don’t think the producers were wrong to try Anne but it’s easy to say it was never going to work after that after the fact. It could have easily have turned out to be a genius signing had it worked.

That's what non broadcast pilots are for though?
