    What is even better is learning the behind the scenes stuff. Jimmy talked about it on an interview. During pitch/idea meetings at countdown offices they brought up the idea of doing the carrot-in-a-box for xmas and Jimmy and Jon didn't really want to do it they didn't like it but Sean wanted to, so just having it was because Sean wanted to do it. So really Sean was planning his "heist" right from the beginning. Then it came down to doing the episode and he put his plan into action.

    You've stumbled across 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, an odd comedy gem in Channel 4s output. Its a mash up of two separate programs one, 8 out of 10 cats, a comedy statistic panel show and the other, Countdown, a straight quiz show about letters and numbers. Put together some time ago and hosted by people from both, it really does have some hysterical moments !!!

  • @chrisknight2631

    Fun video! Even as a Brit living in America for quite a while, it's still strangely satisfying watching Americans appreciate humor that seems uniquely British to me. I mean, what other country would produce a show like '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown'? It's pleasing to see you both genuinely enjoying this stuff. Talking of uniquely British, I'd love to see what you guys would make of 'Shooting Stars'. 😵

    There is a comic in England called Jasper Carrott.....not his real name. He does mainly stand-up and funny songs. His story about visiting America is hilarious. There is also an animated video of his story about a mole, and another one on his song "The day we went to Blackpool".

I can hear you fine with my volume at normal, but then when you start watching the requested video I have to turn my volume way way up to hear it. But then if an advert pops up, or 1 of you start talking or laughing it is absolutely blaring, when Spencer started cracking his knuckles I thought my roof was coming in.
