Vic Reeves has replaced Richard Hammond as the presenter of Sky One's Brainiac: Science Abuse.
The comedian is "absolutely thrilled" to be involved in the programme, and will initially present a 12-show run.
"Science is my God and my ultimate goal in Brainiac is to destroy the moon with dynamite," he laughed.
Top Gear presenter Hammond is moving on to new projects, and is currently in negotiations with various companies.
Sky's Commissioning Editor for Factual Entertainment Emma Read said: "Brainiac continues to go from strength to strength. We thank Richard Hammond for all his fantastic work on the series and we're excited that Vic is now taking us into a new era. His anarchic brand of humour will be perfect for the show."
