He wants to grow a beard in peace without anyone badgering him...oh wait a minute...!
I wonder if Newsnight Producer, Ian Katz, wants to bring in Susanna Reid!
Personally I shall miss him.

I treasure that time years ago, when he kept asking Michael Howard the same question, over and over again, until he got a straight answer. There must be an awful lot of politicians, of all Parties, who are breathing a collective sigh of relief, now that he has said he is going.
It's been said that during a 20th anniversary edition of Newsnight, Paxman told Howard that he had simply been trying to prolong the interview since the next item in the running order wasn't ready!
Jomlett..I heard that as well and it simply doesn't sound remotely true. Ann Widdecombe had the right idea about Howard...that there is indeed a touch of the night about him !
Just found this on the BBC News website...just as enjoyable second time around !

He will still be on University Challenge, thouigh that only keeps him busy three weeks of the year.
// he kept asking Michael Howard the same question, over and over again, until he got a straight answer //

I remember it. He never did get a straight answer, he just gave up asking after a while.
Genuinely sad to see him go.

Been cheering myself up with a repeated viewiing of the Michael Howard interview...

Apologies mikey4444 - didn't read previous posts

What was the name of that poor female politician he tore to pieces in 2012?

That was almost unwatchable.
I've just watched the interview again and, to be honest, I am beginning to feel sorry for the poor woman. She was clearly promoted above her abilities and shouldn't have had to face Paxo.

There I go again, defending a Tory politician !
put Matt Frei in there, he is a very good journalist, reporter.
But as said by, Ludwig...Paxman did not get a straight answer from Howard.
