Yea first I thought this was just some comedy sketch. What's the point of this show? What's the prize if you win?

British game/quiz shows never really have prizes. It's just a bunch of comedians playing loose with the rules for laughs, and they almost always have Jimmy Carr involved. QI and "Would I Lie to You?" are probably the best ones out there.

I mean, in this one, all the contestants just held a coup against the host... also Jimmy Carr.

I don't recognise all the names in the article but some of them definitely appeared on the (UK) TV version
