QI

QI (Quite Interesting) is a British television game show hosted by Sandi Toksvig (taking over from the original host, Stephen Fry, after 13 series), and featuring permanent panelist Alan Davies. Most of the questions are extremely obscure, making it unlikely that the correct answer will be given. To compensate, points are awarded for right answers as well as interesting ones. Conversely, points are deducted from a panelist who gives "answers which are not only wrong, but pathetically obvious," typically answers that are generally believed to be true but in fact are misconceptions. These answers are known as forfeits, usually indicated by a loud siren, flashing lights, and the incorrect answer being displayed on screen. Bonus points are sometimes awarded or deducted for challenges or incorrect references, varying from show to show.
