With a successful BBC radio career Chris Moyles broadened his horizons into TV, with a C4 comedy panel show – Chris Moyles Quiz Night. It ran from 2009 to 2012 with 39 episodes, across 5 series.
Jimmy has been mates with Chris since at least around 2003 (see list here) and guested on S1 Ep6, broadcast April 26th 2009. Although I’m not sure how much he was on screen as he was only listed as “Self”. The quiz, described below, often called for a pre-recorded question (by someone famous) and it’s likely that his contribution to this episode was along those lines.
The show format was quite unique in that the audience first of all try to predict who will win the show (Chris or one of his 3 guests) for a share of £1,000.
Chris and the 3 panellists also have to predict what order each of them will be placed and then take turns at answering 3 questions each, for points.
The part that baffled me is that everyone answers the questions, in all rounds, but each guest takes a turn at sitting at the desk with Chris – while the other 2 go to sit in a kind of box.
The panellists in this episode were:
- Philip Glenister
- Ulrika Jonsson
- Justin Lee Collins
And the people listed as “Self” were:
- Jimmy Carr
- Tony Robinson
- Phil Harding
- Duncan Bannatyne
