British stand-up and television comedians have a great platform, cross-host panel shows on the BBC and generally seem to have a good thing going with their series-es (including, but not limited to: QI, Would I Lie To You, Argumental, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Big Fat Quiz, Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Have I got News for You, Was It Something I Said; also Peep Show, the IT Crowd, Black Books, the Mighty Boosh, etc).
I want American versions, because right now I despise American tv. I would love an american QI. Who would host the shows, and who would be on the panel? Would they have different names, or a slightly different premise? Are panel shows just too 70s for americans now?
