While I never made any particular effort to watch Never Mind the Buzzcocks, I was always entertained on the occasions whenever I managed to catch it.
Simon Amstell was probably my favourite host and, judging by what is said in the article posted by Robert, it seems he was everybody else's. However, despite his popularity, I don't think the show would have been sustainable if he had continued to host the show. If people were being booked to be humiliated, as Phil Jupitus suggests, then decent guests would have been hard to arrange. If I recall, Austell alluded to this several times on the show but then again - who knows. While the quality of guests might have declined I reckon there would be still many z-list celebrities willing to appear. But at what point does it stop becoming a music-orientated show to one that that denigrates reality television stars and the like?
