Game shows like that are fun, until you start seeing how they are not about the game...
I always imagined productions needing competent people to craft the questions, and prepare the answers... but I think more often than not... the answers aren't coming from competent people.. they are coming from a "special source" (like "Wikipedia," or "AI," or even worse, "marketing research.")
I used to love Jeopardy, but then they decided that in order to qualify as "smart"... they needed to memorize "entertainment" factoids. Hollywood stats, and popular celebrity-cult nonsense. It was OK at first (when it was minimal,) but then it became half the material, along with fodder for virtue signaling, and political correctness.
I will check it out of course, you're recommendation is good enough for me!
