71 Zoe Lyons' Suit of Lightening

The day has finally arrived, after much negotiation and chat between our lawyers, Lucy and Jenny finally welcome the fabulous comedian and host of 'Lightning', it's Zoe Lyons!I'm of course joking about the need of lawyers, but it should be illegal to be as funny as Zoe and she also turns out to have a huge talent as a quiz show host, but you may be surprised to hear where she gets her hosting inspiration from. As well as learning what the process was for getting that converted job, we also get an insight into how many questions 'Lightening' gets through (and it's staggering) and which words couldn't be included in any of Anne Robinson's questions on 'The Weakest Link'. Every day's a school day!Come and see Lucy and Jenny LIVE on 20th October 2021 when they record FOB in front of an audience at The Covent Garden Studios, London with special guest, James Harkin!For info and tickets, go to: dice.fm/event/qm3la-fingers-on-buzzers-live-20th-oct-covent-garden-studios-london-tickets Hosted on Acast.

Fingers on Buzzers is brought to you by comedian and keen amateur quizzer Lucy Porter, alongside The Chase's very own Jenny Ryan. Whether you’re a Pointless armchair aficionado, nostalgic for the days of Going for Gold, or a bona fide Mastermind, this is the podcast for you.  Jenny and Lucy speak to a host of people who work behind the scenes of our favourite TV quiz shows, including James Harkin (QI), Roger Tilling (the ‘Voice’ of University Challenge) and Jenny Hawker (Only Connect); plus we hear from epic winners and losers of quiz shows past and present, from Bullseye and Blockbusters to Britain's Brightest Family and everything in between.  Lucy and Jenny will also discuss the BIG issues including the etiquette of pub quizzing, new quizzing technology and how questions have changed with the times. All the BIG questions will be asked (and answered.) What IS the difference between quiz shows and game shows? With the help of experts and enthusiasts alike, Jenny and Lucy get to the bottom of that and much, much more besides. There's also plenty of opportunities to play-along, as week-by-week Jenny coaches plucky layperson Lucy on the ‘quiz syllabus’, and in-turn Lucy tests the mettle of general knowledge guru Jenny with a weekly pop-quiz.  Whether you're an Only Connect know-it-all, still dine-out on your Fifteen To One appearance from 1993, or only indulge in Trivial Pursuits on December 25th, this podcast is for you.  Hosted on Acast.
