Virtually Famous


Virtually Famous is a British comedy panel game show hosted for three series from 2014 to 2016 by Kevin Mchale and hosted for one series in 2017 by Chris Ramsey. In each episode, two teams of three panelists answer questions and complete tasks related to viral videos on the internet and the two team captains were Seann Walsh and Chris Stark. In series 4, the final series, Vicky Pattison took over from Chris Stark as team captain.
The programme made its debut on E4 on 21 July 2014 and on 26 November 2014, it was announced that the show had been recommissioned for a second and third series.

Format

The two teams are shown viral videos from the internet and then asked questions about them as well as having to act out tasks in the same way that they're being done in the videos. In one segment they are shown three videos and an actual person from one of the videos appears in the studio and the teams then have to guess which of the three videos that this person appeared in. The format for the show was very similar to Never Mind the Buzzcocks where the goal of winning the show with the most points is secondary to the creation of comedic dialogue between the guests.
