The greatest game show ever. It is funny, fascinating, and engaging. It is sort of like the opposite of Jeopardy. Contestants tell the judges all about something cool that they didn't know, usually from the contestants' field of study.

Funny, informative, ENTERTAINING!

Description

Journalism wrapped in a game-show package. Host Stephen J. Dubner (of “Freakonomics Radio”) and a celebrity co-host invite guests on stage in front of a live audience to tell us something we don’t know. The co-hosts — a mix of leaders in science, academia, sports, media, and comedy — grill the guests, and by the end we’ve all gotten a bit smarter. Each episode has a new topic, a new co-host, and new guests. There’s also a real-time human fact-checker to keep everyone honest. Think of the most crackling dinner-party conversation you’ve ever heard. Produced in association with Stitcher.
