8 Out of 10 Cats is a comedy panel show that aired on Channel 4 from 2005 to 2022. The show is hosted by Jimmy Carr and features two teams of celebrities who compete against each other. The name of the show is derived from a popular survey question in the UK, "What percentage of people believe that...?" Each episode starts with a series of poll questions answered by the British public. The contestants must then guess the percentage of people who gave a particular answer.

The show has a regular cast of comedians who make up the two teams. Sean Lock and Jon Richardson are the most frequently appearing panellists, with guest panellists such as Russell Brand, Joe Lycett, Sarah Millican, and many others joining them throughout the series.

The show features rounds such as "What Are You Talking About?" where the panellists discuss clips from news stories, and "The Poll with a Hole" where the panellists have to guess the percentage of people who gave a particular answer to a poll with a missing word.

The show is known for its irreverent humour and quick-witted one-liners, as well as its ability to poke fun at current events and popular culture. The comedians bring a lot of personality to the show, with Sean Lock often serving as the dry-witted deadpan foil to Jimmy Carr's sarcastic hosting style.

The show has had a number of memorable moments over the years, such as when Jon Richardson tried to guess the percentage of people who thought that Christmas was the birth of Santa Claus or when comedian Greg Davies brought a stuffed owl on the show as a "substitute guest".

8 Out of 10 Cats has spawned a number of spin-offs, including 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, where the panellists play a game of Countdown alongside the regular contestants, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Uncut, which features extended and uncensored versions of the show.

Overall, 8 Out of 10 Cats is a witty and insightful take on the news and popular culture, with a lot of laughs thrown in along the way. Fans of comedy panel shows are sure to enjoy this long-running programme, which is a staple of UK television.

8 Out of 10 Cats is a series that is currently running and has 22 seasons (267 episodes). The series first aired on June 3, 2005.
