Out of the Question is an Australian chat and game show, which is hosted by comedian Glenn Robbins. The show features Glenn being joined by three celebrity guests each week to explore world events as well as general discussion, from a unique perspective.

The show premiered on Thursday 31 January 2008 at 8:30 pm on the Seven Network[1] with every one of the seven episodes produced being recorded at Melbourne's HSV-7 digital studios at Melbourne Docklands within 48 hours of its airing.[2][3][4] Despite poor ratings for a primetime program, the Seven Network is keen to keep the show running due to successful advertising deals, which are targeted to the 25-54 age bracket[citation needed].

[edit] Show format

The show has three celebrity guests each week. Robbins asks each of the guests a series of questions until the final "fast-money" round, where Robbins asks a series of questions and any of the guests can answer. Each correct answer earns the guest a point. The guest with the most points at the end of the show gets their name engraved on the Out of the Question trophy.
