Hello Gang! This Friday is the annual Christmas Game Night and I am looking for panellists.
You need:
- To be free on Friday night, from roughly 8:45pm to midnight GMT (although it probably won’t go on quite that long). I’m aware this might make it tough for working Americans – unavoidable I’m afraid, sorry.
- Have a microphone to chat with and a second screen to play with.
- A decent internet connection would be useful, as Google Hangouts runs on a P2P system (this will change to Discord in the New Year).
- A Twitter so I can send you info.
If this sounds like you now’s the time to apply. The easiest thing to do to show your interest is to leave a comment here. The second easiest thing to do is to drop me a Direct Message on Twitter – please don’t just reply to standard tweet as it risks getting lost and forgotten about.
To test my sound set-up I’m proposing recording Game Night Extra on THURSDAY NIGHT from 10-11. This will be a private recording that will go out after the main event on Friday, we will be playing non-Jackbox Use Your Words, and doubles as being a sound set-up test. You’ll need all the things above but to be free on Thursday night.
You can apply for either or both, please don’t be offended if you don’t get selected – we get oversubbed these days and I cast based on a number of different criteria. Needless to say if you’ve not been a panellist before you are very much encouraged to apply, doubly so if you’re female. I can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that we will be requiring a Voice of the Audience for the Arbitrary Final, so keep your mic ready even if you’re not selected.
I want to let people know if they’re needed on Wednesday, so please apply before Wednesday afternoon.
Yes I know Friday is an odd day to do it, but Boyard Land starts on the Saturday and I’m obliged to watch it, really. Think of it as a way out of work Christmas drinks, if you want. Good luck!
You know I’m wanting to get in on this after being incredibly unlucky and being unable for the last two.
Hmm, my last message didn’t go through. Weird.
Hmm, not a clue. Still you’re approved now.
Ok now that I’m in the right thread I’d like to apply for the Friday session as it’s the first day of my holidays from work and the timing works.
Thanks!
Great, will add you to the list Ryan thanks.
Haven’t we all, at one point or another, been quietly watching an episode of the latest version of The Price is Right when an overwhelming thought has struck us:
“What this show needs is a bit more moon.”
When was the last time I signed up for one of these? Oh, this time last year? Might as well make it a tradition then. One space, please!
(For the main event, anyway.)
Great! Will let you know Wednesday.
Not sure if anybody is interested but Youtuber Simon Wilson is hosting his own race reality show called Rat Race. Clearly inspired by Race Across the World but on a smaller scale. It’s an ok way to fill 45 mins an episode.

I’ve just remembered I’m at a Xmas dinner on Wednesday afternoon, so it’ll be Wednesday evening I’ll let you know if you’re successful, thanks.
Hit me up @theQuick_Manalt
Will do!
This was the audience member for Bother’s Game Night Does The Golden Shot, for those keeping score.
I think Quickers has been a panellist once before, no?
Audience member twice, once speaking, but not an official panelist.
Right, I have a panel for Friday – well oversubscribed – they have had a DM telling them they are panellists on Twitter. Everyone else who has applied (and I’m having to let down more than five people here) are potential standbys if people drop out. It’s a pretty “new” line-up, I always want to bring new potential blood into the rotation (FIVE first or second time players, which is great to see). I will be needing a Voice of the Audience for the Arbitrary Final, so keep a mic ready.
I still have several spaces left for the Thursday pre-record if that is of interest to you.
