Funny game show moments

Another of mine: "In 1952, who was declared the spiritual leader of Argentina?"

The correct answer was Eva Perón - but, that's not what I said. Instead, my answer was... Diego Maradona.

He wasn't even BORN then . If I was going to name a sportsman, I should've at least name someone who'd already won something by that time, like Juan Manuel Fangio!

Ahh, your game show fails are almost as spectacular as the contestants' sometimes, just that you're not actually there

Yep, that's why I'm not actually there... at least this way, they only end up in this thread, instead of on national TV !

Now for another of my own:

"In 1960, Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard became the first people to visit where?"

The correct answer was Challenger Deep... but I said: space.



Even if you can forgive me for mixing up Jacques Piccard with Jean-Luc Picard, this is wrong for so many reasons.

A question from The Chase:

Which of the following royal houses ruled latest?

A) Lancaster
B) York
C) Tudor

The answer was Tudor - but, the contestant chose Lancaster, reasoning that "there were no Tudors in the time of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I". Ermmm, they WERE Tudors !

Q: Which country of the UK has its parliament in Holyrood?
A: Pakistan

. Not only is Pakistan not part of the UK, but 'Holyrood' doesn't even sound like a Pakistani name!

This Steve Harvey clip is so important to me. Out of context it makes Steve sound deranged in the best way.

I swear The Weakest Link should be re-named to The Weakest Pun, because half the questions are like this:

What is the name of a bathroom attached to a bedroom: an en suite or an en sour?

From Richard Osman's House of Games:

Q: What is the capital of Indiana?
A: Montana
A: Louisiana

People here in the UK (and the rest of Europe) often make fun of Americans for not knowing where various countries are. But let's be fair: Brits' knowledge of American geography is no better !

On Pointless Celebrities, one of the categories in the final round was "Jurassic Park actors". I came up with... Richard Hammond.

I must have mixed "Richard Attenborough" and "John Hammond" up .
