I remember it took him almost two years to win the show, and made a big deal celebrating.
Considering how the show started and how difficult it was initially for them, it was one of those moments that got me (and I’m sure others) thinking “this show’s pretty funny”.
His whole role is to get the show back on track with actual answers, he’s funny when he needs to be but he’s an important part of why it works.

I wasn’t saying you were, just challenging your point.
I know. He’s one of the cogs that makes the show work.
It’s like the straight man in a comedy duo. You have one comedian who does the slapstick stuff and the other that steers it and drops a few jokes in along the way or wraps it up.

Making their season debut this Monday is none other than Marty Sheargold and Melanie Bracewell, buzzing in alongside return favourites Alex Ward, Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang.
Our funny five will be thrown a stack of questions on the latest headlines, as we roll through a lively hour of new learnings, and a bunch of things we wish we didn’t know.

Emma Holland was the first comedian asked by Tom to identify a reality show. It was from Japan (Run for the Money) and similar in the format to Hunted, however the poster behind Tom Gleisner was actually in Korean.
EDIT
The show in Japanese:

Glad I wasnt just imagning that…

It’s no secret we’re big fans of New Zealand comics here at Have You Been Paying Attention?, and this week we welcome back the hilarious Guy Montgomery.
Guy has stiff competition alongside comedians Claire Hooper, Bron Lewis, Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang.
There’s quite a bit to get through with Quizmaster Tom Gleisner, so hands on buzzers, a quick game’s a good game.
Great lineup tonight. Hilarious show.
I also liked the extended chat with Mariafe. Normally it’s a shorter chat

Who is Ed always gesturing at to his right off screen? It’s so distracting.
