      One cannot help but wonder that if the Arch Duke of Austro-Hungary hadn't been such a fan of the Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand might not have shot him.
      And Mary, Queen Of Scots, went down in history. The history teacher said that it was the only way for her to get a passing grade.

      I love how happy Glenn becomes when he realizes that he got Hugh to crack at his joke. Reminds me of Sara Pascoe's reaction years earlier, when she got in a joke that made Hugh react similarly & I don't know if I've ever seen her happier.
      I think the "newer" comedians saw it as a badge of honor if they got Hugh to crack at their jokes.

      Dead men tell no tales 1914 I have a question. If you seem to hate this show, why are you so far down a comment section of an episode highlight?
      Bonus question, if the person you so clearly admire likes the show enough to appear on it, are you sure you’re the one that should pass judgement on the shows comedy? I mean surely the professional comedians would know better than you right?
