Pointless Celebrities

TV Show · Game Show

The format of `Pointless Celebrities' is familiar to anyone familiar with the original version of `Pointless' with the big difference being celebrities playing for charities instead of regular contestants playing to win money for themselves. The famous pairs answer questions that were asked to 100 people in a survey. The celebrities' goal is to provide the correct answers that were given by the fewest surveyed individuals with a correct answer given by nobody else, dubbed a pointless answer, being most desirable as it earns the team no points - which is good in a game in which the goal is to score as few points as possible. The winning pair advances to the final round where they can win money for their favourite charities.
