Viewers were full of praise for the Leeds-born presenter as he bowed out from hosting UniversityChallenge
Signing off at the end of Monday’s episode, Paxman said: “It remains for me to thank Jung Chang for presenting the trophy, all the teams who have entertained us over the past months, and you for watching. University Challenge returns later in the year and I look forward to watching it with you. So it’s good night for me. Good night.”While the lack of fuss left some viewers feeling the BBC should have done more, most viewers were full of praise for Paxman’s simple farewell.
Steve Whalley said: “The small screen will be a much poorer place without his gravitas and intelligence. That modest farewell was typical of the man.” Meanwhile, Michael Brown said the show “won't be the same without him” and Tony Hom described it as a “sad day” in the programme’s history.made it all about University Challenge and not about himself. Watched programme with my son, sad to see Jeremy go.
