For some reason I hadn't heard of this until a few minutes ago when I read a Buzztime (NTN) press release saying they were partnering with the show.

For those of you who haven't heard, it's a Canadian TV quiz show.

Can the Bored's Canadians please tell us some details about the show and how popular it is?

Isn't this the same show that's been aired here in the states for the last couple years?

So, the folks who qualify from Buzztime get to be part of the studio audience, but everyone still gets to take the same test via the internet, right?

I guess I've been living under a rock but never heard of it broadcast in the U.S.

Yes (on the test).

Well, it was actually longer ago than that. 2003 and 2004--where does the time go to?

Looks like it's been an annual event (with Anne Robinson as host) in the UK.
