I know she's one of the greats at it and all, but as a big fan of UK comedy and a knower of the existence of game shows, I'd staunchly refute the suggestion that "professional poker player" is her main claim to fame except in professional poker fandom specifically 😄

Either way, she's probably the smartest person on the comedy panel show circuit and I'm including Brian Cox when I say that 😄

PS: I also ADORE her hilarious husband, comedy pedantry world champion David Mitchell 😁

    I’d like to see her in Last One Laughing. She’s got such a different approach to comedy than her husband, and I bet she’d be killer at it.

    She is not on the (kinda decent?) 2027 list.

    (Huh, they did a UK Halloween special? Missed it.)

    Kinda decent? Ayoade is back, and Katherine Ryan and Morgana Robinson are joining? That will be great

    Yes (the other Katherine & Lee too)! And how I expect all those to interact with each other.

    Smart can mean a lot of very different things, and on TV it's a bit easier to "be smart" ... eg on Taskmaster (random tasks with wide open thinking) she came across as smart once (I'm not saying she isn't smart, I have about the same opinion about her, but having read a lot of things & be a bit 'quick' is just one aspect of smart is all I'm trying to say).
