Erre hogyan tudnék válaszolni nincs ötletem? Why do you think quiz programmes are so popular with viewers?

While watching them we are also given the chance to test our own knowledge while entertained by the humour of the host.

While I personally am not a huge fan of them, I can see two reasons why one would watch such shows:

1) To broaden their knowledge

2) To verify their own knowledge and give themselves a pat on their back because they knew better than the contestant.
