It Pays to Be Ignorant
What Is a Flirt
par
It Pays to Be Ignorant is a comedy quiz show built around the deliberately foolish premise that ignorance is an advantage. A panel of comic contestants answers questions with confidently wrong, absurd, or evasive responses, while the host keeps the proceedings moving and plays along with the joke.
The program turns the familiar question-and-answer format upside down: the fun comes less from getting facts right than from the panelists’ comic misunderstandings and improvised explanations. The title “What Is a Flirt” points to the subject of this installment, presented within the show’s playful quiz framework.
Its tone is broad, lighthearted, and knowingly silly, with the panel’s blunders and the host’s reactions supplying the humor. Listeners can expect a vintage radio comedy centered on verbal wit and the pleasure of watching a quiz go gloriously off course.
