Ian Hislop Reveals Best, Worst Guests on Have I Got News For You

Ian Hislop, the long-standing captain of BBC's 'Have I Got News For You,' recently shared insights about the show's best and worst guests during the Royal Television Society Programme Awards. Hislop's favorite guest, according to him, was William Shatner, who he described as both hilarious and clueless about the show's format and news topics, adding that Shatner had just released an album at the time. Hislop humorously noted that this made Shatner 'both the best and the worst guest ever.' The show, which has aired since 1990, has featured numerous celebrity guests, but Shatner's unique performance left a lasting impression. Hislop also reflected on his challenging past few months, including a head injury from being struck by an electric bike and a scary incident in a taxi where he thought he had been shot at. Despite these experiences, he continues to enjoy his role on the show and appreciates its platform for satire.
