The premise

Here’s the bit.

Doug and Courtney breeze through celebrity questions on a cheerful quiz show, then face much more valuable questions about people they actually know. Doug cannot name his close friend’s longtime girlfriend, and Courtney struggles to identify a colleague’s wife. Host Vince Blight turns their excuses into public interrogations, exposing their selective attention and casual sexism. A final challenge brings out three bridesmaids from Doug’s wedding, with an enormous prize riding on a nearly completed name.
