Bill Bailey, Stephen Fry and others in “Unfinished Business”

Bill Bailey

What are the points that you gain by using it correctly?

Stephen Fry

I think we all agree that nobody in this universe understands QI's scoring system.

Bill Bailey

Right. So, by that logic, were we to raise the subject of the scoring system, and I was to do that, [holds up his "Nobody knows" card] then… [he's cut off by laughter and applause]

Alan Davies

He's made a very good point.

Stephen Fry

I suppose I'm trapped in an infinite loop. Yes, fortunately that isn't one of the questions.

David Mitchell

If it were in a hypothetical round a question - "What is the QI scoring system?" - and then "Nobody knows", [mimics lifting up the card] what would happen to the person who does the QI scoring? Would they not then feel rather sad? They are at least presumably sitting there thinking that they know.
