funniest quiz show

Funniest quiz show. Amazing contestants with the most bizarre areas of expertise almost as smart, funny and unpredictable as the host.

Funny af

It's a really simple format for a quiz show but it is carried by Tom's wittiness and the interesting contestants. It's always exciting to see what obscure expert topics they choose and Tom's round is always hilarious.

I like the bit where Tom Gleeson makes fun of them

9jamesmcwhirty

Relaxed, warm and witty.

I don't often get to recommend an Australian comedy/quiz show to folk back home in the UK, but this is spot on in every way. Not too serious, not too silly, not too cynical, it is easily watchable and guarantees a few laughs in every show. One to export the format......

Trivia
On 24 May 2019, in the middle of the broadcast of the fourth season, host Tom Gleeson announced via a media release that he was stepping down as the show's host. Two days later, he was nominated for the Gold Logie, the award given to the Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. Later, Gleeson tweeted that if he won, he would "un-axe" the show and return as its host. On 30 June 2019, Gleeson was announced as the winner of the Gold Logie, and in an interview with Australian radio network Triple M on 31 July 2019, he not only announced that the show would return in 2020, but also said that the fifth season would be expanded to 40 new episodes.
