How it feels

Two teams of students compete in a live-audience quiz show. The questions cover general knowledge but the tone gets increasingly silly and crude as the series goes on.

What happens

SmartAsk is a Canadian game show that ran for three seasons (2001–02 through 2003–04) on CBC Television. The show was taped in front of a live audience, with the players sitting on a tiered set (one team on top and the other on the bottom). The SmartAsk tournament was described by Ralph Benmergui, the show's executive producer, on TSN's Off The Record as being "Reach for the Top on acid," although in practice this largely involved crude humour, especially as the show went on and ratings sagged.
