things out but it was a good start.
We, meaning Americans, seem to care too much about the points in games. They all seemed to want to give the right answer instead of going for the joke which is what happens on the UK version. The guy in the seat normally taken by Hugh Dennis was way too quick to give the right answer. I got the feeling that only the hosts had seen the UK show and the others were unsure of exactly how things are supposed to go. But with that said I have hope that they'll make it more funny in the future.

Is the same host each week or do they change? - LMS Sep 18, 06:31 1
- Same host, Roy Wood Jr., who is really funny and I think perfect for the job. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 18, 06:36
