Prepare for a barrage of trivia as Jimmy Carr returns to host the Big Fat Quiz of Everything 2025. This annual Channel 4 staple assembles a motley crew of comedians and celebrities to tackle questions spanning the vast expanse of human knowledge (and some decidedly less highbrow topics). Expect the unexpected, as Carr’s sharp wit and the panelists’ questionable grasp of history, science, and pop culture collide in a glorious display of informed (and often uninformed) guesswork.
This year’s lineup includes comedy regulars Harry Hill and David Mitchell, alongside Roisin Conaty, Sophie Willan, Josh Pugh, and Fatiha El-Ghorri. Adding a touch of gravitas (or perhaps just bemusement) to the proceedings, actor Charles Dance will also be on hand, along with the ever-unpredictable children of Mitchell Brook Primary School, contributing their unique brand of questioning to the mix.
From obscure historical figures to the viral memes of yesteryear, the quiz covers a wide range of topics, ensuring there’s something to bewilder everyone. Whether it’s Mitchell’s pedantic corrections, Hill’s surreal tangents, or Conaty’s infectious laughter, the Big Fat Quiz offers a reliably entertaining way to kick off the new year. Can any of the teams emerge victorious, or will they all succumb to the sheer absurdity of the questions?
Big Fat Quiz Of Everything 2025 airs Thursday, January 2, 2025, at 9:00 PM on Channel 4.
