I absolutely love Jimmy Carr and he is well suited to hosting this show. Jon Richardson is just the icing on the cake, with his nerdy weirdness.
You really never know what to expect each episode. But I do love how Jimmy loves to try and distract the celebrities from doing the words or numbers by doing stupid antics as the countdown clock is ticking down.
Sometimes I remember to give the word puzzles a go and I have been trying the sums as well. But most of the time I just watch it for a laugh. I think the good thing about this cross over show is that it has brought Countdown over to a crowd that possibly would not have bothered to watch it before.
