Malcolm MacDonald.
I read that there's going to be six replacements for Richard Osman - in rotation: Sally Lindsay, Konnie Huq, Ed Gamble, Alex Brooker, Stephen Mangan & Lauren Laverne.
Or Malcom Missing as he was labelled by some.
Is it Molly Malone?

Yus.
Later he became Malcolm in the Middle.
I was thinking of one of our own.
Ming the Merciless?
Meg Merrilies?
Old Meg she was a gypsy,
And lived upon the moors:
Her bed it was the brown heath turf
And her house was out of doors.
Her apples were swart blackberries,
Her currants pods o' broom;
Her wine was dew of the wild white rose,
Her book a churchyard tomb.
Her Brothers were the craggy hills,
Her Sisters larchen trees
Alone with her great family
She lived as she did please.
No breakfast had she many a morn,
No dinner many a noon,
And 'stead of supper she would stare
Full hard against the Moon.
But every morn of woodbine fresh
She made her garlanding,
And every night the dark glen yew
She wove, and she would sing.
And with her fingers old and brown
She plaited Mats o' Rushes,
And gave them to the Cottagers
She met among the Bushes.
Old Meg was brave as Margaret Queen
And tall as Amazon:
An old red blanket cloak she wore;
A chip hat had she on.
God rest her aged bones somewhere-
She died full long a gone!

Is that the same as Miriam Margoleyes?
Just watching Sally Lindsay in Richard Osman's shoes.
I've always liked her. A very genuine person. Also had a number one hit record which I'm sure Richard is envious of.

Yeah, I thought she did well. She literally had big shoes to fill, but appeared to enjoy it, and you can see her getting more comfortable in the role as the episodes progress.
Other co-hosts lined up are Alex Brooker, Lauren Laverne, Stephen Mangan, Konnie Huq and Ed Gamble - dunno how often they'll be changing yet though.

Ah! Pointless Celebrities
It's Stephen Mangan's turn to co-host Pointless tomorrow - should be good. (Wednesday 5th October). Looks like they'll be switching co-hosts every 10 episodes or so then.
