Funny You Should Ask is my favorite comedy show. The show has two powerful qualities: great humor and interesting information.
I just have two suggestions: 1) make the show an hour long, and 2) your ratings would go even higher if you simply make the contestants' podiums transparent or smaller. Minimizing the podium allows us viewers to see the whole person just as we see the host and cast.
When an attractive contestant doesn't win, viewers are naturally curious what that person looks like from head to toe. But the current format doesn't allow that.
For example, if a beautiful lady has a cute outfit on, it's natural for both men and women to wonder what the rest of her looks like (shoes, legs, the rest of her dress, etc.) The current mundane rostrums, restrict the viewers' view of the losing contestant as they enjoy their brief spot in the limelight, then sent off the set during the commercial break.
Thank you for taking time to read my suggestions.
Sincerely,
Ray
