SEARCH PARTY
JOHN ROBINS HOSTS A NEW QUIZ WHERE WE’VE ALL BEEN SETTING THE QUESTIONS…
We’ve all had that moment where we’ve started to search for something on the internet and the autocomplete window has thrown up some truly odd suggestions. Well, that’s the foundation for this new quiz where contestants must guess the most popular autocompletes so as to stay in the game…
“It’s a bit like Family Fortunes, but the internet is the survey,” explains host John Robins. “Everyone’s seen those drop-down menus when they’ve typed something into Google, and every so often it makes you think, ‘Why are people looking at that?!’”
John will be joined on the show by fellow comic Sunil Patel, who’ll be offering up insights into why we search for what we do, and the contestants even offer up their own recent search histories for examination.
“It’s nice when their searches tell a story about their lives,” shares John. “I think the most common was ‘Who is John Robins?’ – they’d obviously applied to go on the show then thought, ‘I’d better find out who he is!’”
This may be John’s first time officially hosting a quiz, but apparently it’s the sort of thing he’s been doing off-camera for a while…
“I make up my own quizzes!” he chuckles. “I was quizzing my tour manager on London Underground facts yesterday. I really like the format of Who Dares Wins with Nick Knowles – that’s my dream quiz to play!”
