Y'know, I was thinking about this last night. I wondered if the show is better with Noel because I fangirl him, or because of what he brings to the show in terms of changing the dynamic and his own brand of humor. So I rewatched a few eps from series 19 and 20 and decided it's both. Noel said in a recent interview that the vibe is different without Amstell because guests feel they can let their guard down more and open up, making the interactions funnier. But having rewatched this particular episode where he appeared for the first time, it struck me how disarming he is. How his kind of humor disarms and enchants and he even mellowed out the punk guy whilst simultaneously mocking him because it was done in a sweet way. He doesn't fold under Amstell, doesn't try to dominate, but his brand of humor and general personality simply add to the mix.
