It Pays to Be Ignorant
Kissing a Girl Like a Bottle of Olives
by
It Pays to Be Ignorant is a comedy quiz show built around a deliberately foolish approach to questions and answers. A panel of self-proclaimed experts takes on topics they know little about, while the host keeps the proceedings moving and gives their confident nonsense room to flourish.
The program turns the familiar quiz format upside down: questions invite absurd responses, and the humor comes from the panelists’ bluster, misunderstandings, and comic exchanges. The result is less a test of knowledge than a playful send-up of people who insist they know everything.
Its light, fast-moving style makes the show an easygoing listen, with the pleasures of a live radio comedy performance centered on verbal wit and the contrast between serious quiz-show conventions and spectacularly unreliable answers.
