PATREON EXCLUSIVE REACTION: 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown: Best of Roisin Conaty.. I am FINALLY dipping my toe into the 8 Out of 10 Cats water, and you Awesome Patrons will be the first to see it! I was missing my girl Roisin from Taskmaster Season 1, and then lo and behold I came across this video compilation on YouTube. Then bing bang boom here we are!

 **SPECIAL NOTE** Of course in true YouTube fashion, some or all of this video is blocked in these three countries: Australia, New Zealand, and Russia. So if you are in these areas, you'll probably have to stick to Streamable. Everyone else should be able to use the YouTube link.

I've provided the Streamable link up top (just click the photo thumbnail), and the link for the YouTube version can be found here: https://youtu.be/-QU0ydEjbUY. 

Thanks again to ALL of you incredible Patrons for your support! I hope that you have a great rest of the week :)

-David

Yes that is the all knowing Susie Dent :)

and the two games work like this, the word game you just make the longest word you can using the given letters (can only use each letter once) and the numbers round you make the Big number at the top using any/all of the small numbers below by adding, subtracting, diving and multiplying (whole numbers only). Also John and Sean are the captains on this show so they are on every episode but their teammates change. Also Joe usually makes an appearance every episode as he "helps" rachel with the numbers.

Ooh, fun! I'm not a big Jimmy Carr fan (hot take, I know) but I love Cats Does Countdown for Jon and Sean. Sean has since passed unfortunately. I'd say this show is what Joe Wilkinson is best known for. Also, every week there's a guest in Dictionary Corner with Susie who does a few pre-prepared sort of bits throughout the show. I think you might like Joe Lycett's emails. There's a compilation on YouTube called 'the best of Joe Lycett's emails: 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown' if you're interested!

There is also a compilation of Little Alex Horne and the Horne Section!

I am so happy you are experiencing this! The original "8 out 10 Cats" was celebrity panel game show about newsworthy current events that started in 2005. The original "Countdown" began broadcasting in the Neolithic age and these days is shown in retirement homes as a cheaper alternative to poison gas. "Cats does Countdown" started as a joke but became a genius panel show. The permanent cast in the clips are team Captains, Jon Richardson and Sean Lock (RIP),Susie Dent (author and word expert) who holds down Dictionary Corner and professional mathematician Rachel Riley puts letters and numbers on the board and expertly ripostes Jimmy's bullying. You will see everyone from other panel shows turn up on here.

You have briefly met a few future Taskmaster contestants in this compilation, so that’s exciting. And you’ve finally met Susie Dent! I’m not surprised you were drawn to Sean Lock’s comedy. Sadly he died 3 years ago. He was definitely a comedian for comedians. He’d make anybody laugh without fail, even comedians wet themselves laughing. Rachel Riley and Susie Dent aren’t comedians, they’re from original Countdown and they still do both shows, and the rest are comedians, and Jon, Sean, and Jimmy who came from 8 Out of 10 Cats. Original Countdown is mostly watched by the elderly (which is often joked about on Cats Does Countdown) and is not a comedy show. I bet I know which show Rachel and Susie enjoy doing more! The woman who you were saying didn’t seem like a celebrity was the best female Countdown player on the original show. I’m not sure if you already know this, but Jimmy Carr got in trouble a few years back for tax evasion. This is an ongoing joke that you should have context for. In this video it was Sean saying ‘can we have it now Jimmy? We know what you’re like.” Referring to Jimmy’s financial dishonesty in the past. I went to see a taping of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown as it’s filmed 2 miles from my house. There’s obviously so much cut out, but even when they’re waiting to start and sorting out technical things, they’re being funny and interacting with the audience. I love the humour so much. Sorry this comment is so long 🤣

Excellent!! Thank you!! I would probably do very well at the letters (if I do say so myself), but I would definitely be absolute sh*t at the numbers haha. Numbers and I do NOT play well together.

Thanks as always for the info, Evan!! I hate to hear that about Sean :( I don't know of him beyond this video compilation of course, but that's still so sad to hear. Thanks for the heads-up on Joe Lycett's emails also!

Hahahahaha Michael- cracking me up in that first paragraph! "cheaper alternative to poison gas." We joke here (also inappropriately) that the extreme heat in Texas during the Summer months is how we control the population. That's cheaper than both poison gas and the royalty fees to rebroadcast. ;)

I think I've told you this before- NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR LONG COMMENTS!! I love hearing what you guys think, and you always give such great information :) So thank you! I didn't know that about the tax evasion! Whoops lol. Thanks for giving me the context though. Now I'll know. Yeah, I'm just so sorry to hear that about Sean. As I was saying in an earlier comment, my only experience with him thus far is this video, but he does seems like a truly funny guy. RIP If you ever do get to go to a taping, you have to tell me all about it! I've been to a few tapings over the years here and there, but the best one was getting to see David Letterman's Late Show in New York the last season that he was on. It was such a fun experience, and he was so down to Earth, very nice and talkative with the audience before the show, things like that. The only other thing I specifically remember is that it was very strict regarding behavior.. everyone had to surrender their electronic devices, and once you were in the theater, you were not allowed to re-enter if you left. Other than that- fun!

Sorry i apologise a lot haha The tax evasion is a necessary thing to know about as it’s a big running joke in the show, so I’m glad you know now! Also you’ll start to realise how great Sean was and how he could bring the most stone-faced people to tears of laughter. I don’t know if you misread me, but I have already been to a taping of the show! Also I went to see a taping of Pointless, the show with Richard Osman. I don’t know much about Letterman but it’s always great when they’re down to earth and not above engaging with the audience. I’m glad you have great memories of it 😊

David vs. Film
>>140686956

Haha same here with apologizing. And I'm always wordy, so, peas in a pod! Oh yeah, I DID misread you! I read it as, "I want to see" rather than "I went to see". Sorry about that! (<-- see? "sorry").

Becky
>>140686956

I reread and assumed that’s what you may have read! And LOL I also realised I said ‘sorry’ before I said I apologise a lot. Why are we like this?! 🤣

Please look for best of compilations with Joe Lycett, Joe Wilkinson, and Miles Jupp. You also need to check out Carrot in a Box which started on Cats Does Countdown and became a much bigger thing than the writers possibly could have imagined when they came up with it.

Jeremy Young

This compilation with Roisin is one of my favorites! But I do hope you will get a chance to look at some Sean Lock compilations from Cats does Countdown. He had a stage persona of a cranky guy, but you really could see how much everyone around him loved working with him. I'm still sad he's gone.

Thank you so much, Jeremy! Yeah, this was my first look at him, and he seemed very funny. Someone I would definitely like. I appreciate any guidance on the show, compilations you recommend, etc.

If you enjoy this and would I lie to you, you will probably like QI or Richard Osman's House of Games
