Richard Osman's House of Games - S02E36 (26 Nov 2018)

Samantha Womack, Rory Reid, Anne Diamond, James Acaster

Series 2, Week 8, Day 1

Each week a group of four famous faces go toe to toe testing their general knowledge skills in a variety of entertaining trivia-based games.

Every day this week the celebrity contestants - actress Samantha Womack, Top Gear's Rory Reid, broadcaster Anne Diamond and comedian James Acaster - take on a series of challenging quiz games selected by the host, teatime quiz legend Richard Osman.
A daily winner is declared following a quick-fire round at the end of each show as the scores are tallied across the week, resulting in an overall champion being crowned on Friday.
Will the winning stars opt for the much-coveted House of Games dartboard, or instead go for the must-have branded dressing gown?
Fun, witty, and full of surprises, Richard's cross-examination of the celebs over the course of a week provides an entertaining watch for all the family as the level of competitiveness and camaraderie grows.
And of course, this warm, feel-good quiz is perfect for playing along with at home.

[MrRyanMattB]

"Polite way of saying autistic" kills me everytime. I love Acaster.

[tbz]

26:20 This may be the smuggest moment ever captured of James and I love it! Cheeky little, self satisfied smirk and subtle head wobble, thank you very much! 😂😂

[Gryffin]

I love how all the comments are about James. You are seriously loved Mr. Acaster!!!

[Maxisaspoonie]

5:54 She said that so seriously like she Meant it, and the way James's face froze is heartbreaking
He is one of my favorite people to watch on panel shows Love him on Taskmaster. I can't believe they kept some of that in imagine what they didn't

[saunteringvaguelydownwards]

I don’t know why, but after watching this I just want to give James a massive hug… everyone just seemed so passive aggressive towards him for no reason, or is it just my imagination?

[souulkeeper]

James Acaster is always fun to watch. Sad to see others describe how poorly he was treated off camera. He seems like a genuinely nice and fun guy and I hate that others are mean to him, likely because he isn't neurotypical. Glad he won that day. He's one of my favorite British comedians.

[Thorpefan]

So upsetting about his experience behind the scenes, but so glad he was able to overcome it all and take the win

[ckity]

James is literally the sweetest man out there I’m so mad that he was treated that way

[trishgift]

Would love to see James do the show again with nicer people or a whole panel of comedians.

[iloveyourunclebob]

The American in me is coming out hard watching this and putting "what is" before every answer in my head

[millyess]

as someone with autism, the way the others treat James is very reminiscent of the way I was treated during school quizzes and the like. they're jealous of his immense knowledge clearly.

[xxPenjoxx]

I'm a simple gal, I see the Acaster week, I watch all five episodes immediately.

[weneedaladder]

"Finally, some class on this show"
-Richard, talking about the biggest wanker on the show.

[maryannscinto]

Was looking forward to going thru the entire series again, but am feeling anxious remembering James getting bullied. May have to bypass this week.

[drtrack]

James is really a fair player here, i think he also purposely didnt answer quite a few that he knew.

[nadiUxis]

It's kind of weird seeing James so quiet. I heard some stuff happened backstage but this was the beginning of the show and he already seems uncomfortable :/

[Mammutidae]

I didn't know about Acaster before I'd seen this episode a couple years back, but now he's one of my favourite comedians and he's led me to Taskmaster and Off Menu.

[emporioalnino]

Glad to see James roll those clowns. They were so snarky

[lucagupta]

Yes the one with James Acaster this video will get a lot of views

[sweetcaroline]

5:53 N1's "I'm glad you got that wrong to James" was so rude and out of nowhere.
