What is Have You Been Paying Attention?
Have You Been Paying Attention? is an Australian comedy quiz show on Network Ten, hosted by Tom Gleisner, in which comedians answer questions about the week's news. It premiered in 2013.
The show was created by Working Dog Productions, the team behind The Castle and The Dish. Each episode features five guests, usually a mix of regular panellists and visiting comedians or celebrities.
Questions cover politics, world news, sport and odd stories from the week, but the focus is on jokes rather than correct answers. Scores are given loosely, and the winner is often decided by humour.
Regular panellists
Sam Pang and Ed Kavalee have been the show's most frequent panellists, with others such as Kitty Flanagan, Charlie Pickering, Urzila Carlson and Tommy Little appearing often.
The show has won several Logie Awards for Most Popular Entertainment Program and is one of Ten's most successful programs.
It is filmed in Melbourne before a studio audience, usually a day or two before broadcast, so the questions stay current. A Christmas special and end-of-year episodes review the major stories of the year.
