I Literally Just Told You

I Literally Just Told You is a British game show that first aired on Channel 4 on 16 December 2021. The programme is hosted by Jimmy Carr. Some questions are multiple choice general knowledge questions, while the majority are memory-based questions about facts and events from earlier in the episode. Format Each episode starts with four contestants, and two are eliminated at points within the show, leaving the two finalists to face off against each other. Questions steadily increase in value from £250 to £2,000. Only the winner receives the prize money they have accumulated. The rounds are: Candidate Introduction: All candidates of the show are asked a question about one of the other candidates. Money Maker Questions: Contestants are given multiple choice statements with the same set of three possible answers. Memory Round: Contestants are asked a question about anything that has happened or was mentioned during the show's recording. One contestant is eliminated. Fake Ad Break: The show producers fake an ad break which the candidates may be asked questions about in a later Memory Round. Memory Question: All contestants are asked to answer a question about something that has just happened. Final Shoot Out: The two finalists ask each other self-written questions similar to the Memory Round questions. The rules in this round are similar to a penalty shoot-out. Episodes also incorporate segments such as celebrities appearing on-set or in prerecorded clips, or apparent accidents during the recording, to be used in memory questions. When Jimmy walks through a blue door in the studio, he emerges in a different location and a pre-recorded segment plays out. Science educators Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Emy Adamson have the role of writing questions during the episode. Members of the production crew sometimes feature, and questions can be asked about them. At least half of the questions are written during the filming of the episode.
