It is hosted by the Canadian comedian Ophira Eisenberg and features, as its "in-house musician" or "one-man house band", the independent rock musician Jonathan Coulton. It is typically recorded in The Bell House in Brooklyn, New York. The show has been produced since 2012.[1] FormatThe show features four to five games based on puzzle topics, wordplay, and trivia, interspersed by chatter from the show's hosts, as well as a segment featuring an interview and one or more games involved the guest of the week, the "Very Important Puzzler". Most games are played by two contestants. The rules of each game are explained to the contestants beforehand, with the general goal to score the most points for that game. In the case of a tie, a final question is asked to settle the tie. The winning player proceeds with all other winners to the final game at the end of the show. This last game is a series of trivia questions with answers sharing a common theme, such as answers that include the name of a musical instrument in them. This round is played in a spelling bee style in which if one contestant does not know the answer, the next one in line may attempt to answer the same question; if one player gets the answer, all those that missed it are eliminated. This is played until either one player remains, or if they run out of questions, a final tie-breaking question based on whomever rings in first and answers correctly. The prize for winning this round is typically a small bit of memorabilia provided by the week's current Very Important Puzzler, but generally of low monetary value. Other games are played by the Very Important Puzzler. The Puzzler typically plays for a call-in contestant, who wins either an "Ask Me Another" anagram tee-shirt or a Rubik's Cube. The Very Important Puzzler (V.I.P.)Guest stars on the show are referred to as "Very Important Puzzlers", and typically participate in two segments on the show. Guest stars have included: {{Div col|colwidth=20em}}
Types of gamesThough the show's writers design many kinds of games, there are some commonly recurring types. These include:
Puzzle gurusThe show's games are created by a staff of puzzle designers, and one of these puzzle designers in particular, usually referred to as a "puzzle guru", typically appears on the show along with host Eisenberg and musical sidekick Coulton as a third individual who directs the flow of activity on the show. There have been several of these since the show's creation, including:
Substitute in-house musiciansOn shows where Jonathan Coulton is taking a break from recording as the in-house musician, he has been replaced by:
The show's "anagrammed ending"The show typically ends with host Eisenberg reading the credits identifying people who worked on the show. Some of the names she reads are translated by the show's participating puzzle guru into anagrams. Typically the puzzle guru announces at the beginning "Hey, my name anagrams to..." and then announces the anagram. As Eisenberg lists others that worked on the show, the puzzle guru interjects the anagrammed forms of their names as well. Eisenberg then signs off the show by announcing that she is "Her ripe begonias" (an anagram for her own name). Occasionally, for comic effect, the puzzle guru will also provide an anagram for the call letters of WNYC ("CNYW"). Some examples of anagrams presented in the shows ending sequence are as follows:
