Would You Rather with Graham Norton and Jimmy Aquino!

Last night, I attended a taping of the new BBC America comedy panel show, Would You Rather, as hosted by Graham Norton. Basic idea, is that the host presents a question like: "Would you rather eat dog food or cat food?" (My sample question was very tame compared to the questions actually asked). And then the panelists talk about which choice they'd make. Graham randomly gives out "points" for winning the round. Though the points ultimately mean nothing. It's just for funsies! 

It's being shot here in NYC and is part of BBC America's new "Ministry of Laughs" line up. Of course, the Anglophile in me is happy for all the shows being brought over by the Beeb. And this original programming is interesting. But, it had an All-American panel and no Brits. Still, it was led by Stanley Tucci and Scott Adsit. They were awesome and everyone was really funny. (Panel rotates per show). I didn't recognize the other 2 panelists. Norton is very funny as host and keeps it together. I believe it debuts some time over the next few months. 

They recorded 2 shows while we were there. I believe it was shows 4 and 5 so look for me in the audience! Or maybe Graham will realize my comic genius and ask me to be on the panel. 

I'll leave you with this:

Would you rather...have unprotected sex with Snooki or drink Lindsay Lohan's pee?
