    • @humann5682
      @humann5682 3 года назад +35

      Or... He's recycling material from his stand up routine because comedians on MTW regularly do that lol! Like, the producers script it so comics can use their old jokes in the show. James even makes fun of it here by saying it's handy the "random topic" is about houses, as he's just moved house.
      There was another time when Tom Allen got mixed up and made a "things you wouldn't hear in Star Wars" joke _before the topic_ had come up lol! He was left embarrassed and was berated by Dara.
      It's all planned and scripted, and the comics are told the correct answers before the show. Very little of it is off the cuff.

      @@humann5682 i'd assume it's so comedians don't fall about laughing for a joke so much that the show isn't delayed too much, and also if they sprung a topic on them they wouldn't spend ages thinking about answers, and come pre-prepared.
