QI is a comedy panel quiz with host Stephen Fry. QI has the intention of entertaining the audience as well as informing them of random pointless information. The idea of the show, is that when a question is asked the most interesting answer wins rather than the most correct. The humour of the show comes from the entertaining answers produced by the panel. QI tries to rid the world of the nonsense and old wives' tales that can build up in your mind. The programme not only makes us look at things more closely, but it encourages us to question all the received wisdom we have carried with us since childhood.
The host Stephen Fry has the job of asking questions. He is aware of the correct answer and encourages the other panelists to give any kind of answer. He is not intimidating and does not make fun of the contestants when their answer is incorrect. Stephen Fry portrays himself on the side of the panelists and is comforting when they give their answers.
The man always on the panel is Alan Davies. He is what makes the show so entertaining. When a question is asked, he is likely to be first to say an incorrect answer. By doing this it makes the audience laugh but also makes them feel smarter. Each contestant is given a different buzzer, and Alan Davies' always has the most humorous. This causes the audience to laugh at him and makes the show more entertaining.
