Richard Osman on Chatabix

I recently listened to an old episode of Chatabix (Joe Wilkinson’s pod) where RO was a guest. They were discussing Richard’s amazing skill at seeing what works well on a quiz/panel show. It becomes a brief chat about the studio portion of the potato task where Joe admires Richard’s skill at creating drama/intrigue on the show. To paraphrase Joe, Richard noticed when Greg was about to end it and award no points and Richard felt there was more drama to be had and orchestrated Joe leaving, and Joe clocked it right away and went along. “I pretended to go out of the room and I was watching what you were doing and you made the drama out of it.” I just love seeing how certain contestants, even if they are not always in everyone’s top favourites, put their comedic/acting/production skills to work to make the whole show better.
