About

QI

QI (Quite Interesting) is a British comedy quiz show that engages panelists in answering obscure and intriguing questions. Hosted by Sandi Toksvig, with Alan Davies as a regular panelist, the show rewards creative and 'quite interesting' answers more than simply correct ones. Points are deducted for overly obvious wrong answers, adding a humorous twist to the intellectual challenge.
