Des Lynam was on it. He declared GASED thinking it was GASSED.

How did Des Lynam ever become host if he thought GASSED was a 5-letter word?

They don't base presenting skills on counting the number of letters in a word, Jason.

No, he didn't. I don't think it came up in the interview. Question: What makes you a good candidate for this post? Answer: I'm a good presenter but I think GASSED is a 5 letter word.

Jason, can you tell me why you think I would be talking about myself? Quiz question for you, Jason: See if you can see what word in my post above gives a hint as to who I'm talking about.

He used the letter 'I' 14 times. That's a fairly big clue that he's talking about himself.

Err, yeah I did. I used "he" which is a pronoun. I also replied to your quote about Des Lynam, so clearly I was talking about Des.
