    Giving James any buttons to push is an extremely risky move

    I think that due to the rule of three's Acaster should've buzzed in for the third time, and guessed correctly.

    Little known fact but James was originally cast to play the part of young Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy II but in the casting call, when he was suppose to just point at the button that blows up everyone, he kept pressing it. "I just can't help myself."

He chose CZJ as his first and before Bob could ask the question the contestant answered Catherine Zeta Jones. He was right. So it has been done before, as asked in this clip.

    It never ceases to amaze me how society has a penchant for elevating people with no discernible talent and the IQ of a baked potato, to celebrity status. I'm sure that Ms Moffatt is a thoroughly charming young lady, who it would be a pleasure to be served by in any given retail or fast food establishment. But to give her celebrity status when her only claim to fame is watching television is clearly ridiculous. Her lack of the most general of knowledge is quite alarming.
