\n\t\t\t\t\tJames Macpherson and captains Joe Hildebrand and Lucy Zeli\u0107 take on another news quiz.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
SKY News Australia will premiere a new current affairs quiz show Quizzical on Sunday\u2026 not to be confused with a certain other news quiz.<\/p>\n
Hosted by James Macpherson and airing over an 8-week period, each episode will feature two competing teams led by captains Joe Hildebrand and Lucy Zeli\u0107. The captains will be joined by a guest player, with the teams going head-to-head answering questions spanning politics, international affairs and popular culture.<\/p>\n
James Macpherson said: \u201cQuizzical is going to be fast paced, a lot of fun and informative all at the same time. We\u2019ll find out who\u2019s been following the news of the week as opposed to just making stuff up based on vibes, half-remembered tweets and something their cousin posted on Facebook at 2am.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m especially looking forward to seeing everyone\u2019s SKY News favourites in a different setting where they are working together, and against each other, to see who\u2019s most up to date.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the perfect way for people to unwind on a Sunday night, catching up on the news of the week in a light-hearted, highly entertaining format.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joe Hildebrand briefly fronted news comedy The Blame Game\u00a0in 2022.<\/p>\n
