00:01Tonight, it's celebrities plus general knowledge plus pressure.
00:05But who will have the last laugh?
00:07The answer, as always, is me.

00:27and straight into The Weakest Link Studios.
00:29They're always trying to win up to £50,000 for charity,
00:32but to do that, they'll have to work together.

06:40apart from giving the answers, just let me know. Yeah, great.
06:43Why did you vote for Conan?
06:44I think he got a maths question. It was unfortunate.

07:39Yeah.
07:40And I'd love you to go through the first round.
07:42I'll probably just give you the same questions again.
07:44Can't you just give me one now just to see if, like, I could just...
