Richard Osman, the beloved host of the BBC quiz show House of Games, has announced his departure after a remarkable nine-year tenure. In a recent podcast episode, Osman revealed his decision to step down, citing a desire to focus on his popular Thursday Murder Club novel series. With over 800 episodes under his belt, Osman expressed his love for the show, but acknowledged that it was time to pass the torch. The BBC has assured fans that the show will continue, with a new host taking the reins. Osman will complete a final week of filming, handing over the iconic red armchair to a new host. His co-host, Marina Hyde, thanked him for his contributions, and Banijay, the production company, has promised exciting plans for the show's future.
