Since taking over University Challenge viewers from fan favorite Jeremy Paxman in July last year, the former BBC Media Editor had his work cut out winning over University Challenge viewers. However, in recent weeks, the 40-year-old has received a slew of praise, with some commenting that he's a better host than Jeremy Paxman and Bamber Gascoigne.

Jeremy Paxman (left, seen in the 90s) will present his final edition of University Challenge, ending his tenure as Britain's longest-serving quizmaster. The veteran broadcaster (right, pictured last month) who has hosted the show since it was revived by the BBC in 1994, has announced that he would no longer be presenter a year after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Since Bamber Gascoigne first introduced the quiz in 1962, journalist and broadcaster Amol Rajan (inset) will now take the reins, becoming the third host of the program in the program's 60-year history. The last time Mr Paxman's show, which pits students in four teams against rival universities and colleges, will air at 8.30 p.m. on Sunday.

As recording begins for the popular quiz show's 61st year, the BBC revealed a first glance at new University Challenge host Amol Rajan and a redesigned set. Following his diagnosis with Parkinson's, the Radio 4 actor will take over from Jeremy Paxman, who announced last August that he was ending his 28-year tenure on the program. Rajan, 39, will be the third person to host the University Challenge in the BBC Two show's history, having been established by Bamber Gascoigne in 1962. The broadcaster has updated the program, replacing a previous version that saw 1,736 contestants compete in 2013. In addition, the designers have crafted a new title sequence, which will be seen when the new series debuts this summer.
