It’s funny you should say that. It’s American, as you’ve learnt. I’m neither American nor British, but to me the show does actually seem more similar to a format of show that’s very popular in Britain, but not so common in America. The panel show. Think QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats, or Would I Lie To You. Something that looks like a game show, but where the main purpose is really improv comedy and banter, more than actually winning the game.
The problem is for me, the episodes I’ve seen of After Midnight have just been much, much less funny than the typical WILTY or Cats does Countdown (and I don’t even particularly like Catsdown).
