Sometimes, it’s the spectacular failures that make for the best entertainment. Channel 4 clearly agrees, bringing us “Big Fat Quiz: Best Bits,” a celebration of two decades of quiz show calamities. This Friday, “Ultimate Fails” compiles the most hilariously wrong answers, the most baffling blunders, and the most memorable meltdowns from the Big Fat Quiz archives.
With Jimmy Carr at the helm, expect the usual mix of quick wit and barely concealed glee as he guides us through a pantheon of comedic mishaps. A host of familiar faces from the world of British comedy join in the fun, including Richard Ayoade, Claudia Winkleman, Stephen Merchant, Alan Carr, Aisling Bea, Rob Beckett, Melanie Brown, Greg Davies, Romesh Ranganathan, Danny Dyer, Mo Gilligan, and Mel Giedroyc. And in a truly “Big Fat Quiz” moment, even Mr. Blobby makes an appearance – because why not?
If you enjoy watching meticulously crafted questions go spectacularly off the rails, then this is the episode for you. Tune in to Channel 4 this Friday, April 18th at 10:00 PM for a night of guaranteed laughs.
