Out of the Question was an Australian talk and game program hosted by comedian Glenn Robbins. The series involved Robbins testing celebrity participants on topics related to current affairs and popular culture. Episodes were taped at Melbourne's HSV-7 digital studios within two days prior to broadcast.
The series debuted on 31 January 2008 on the Seven Network. Although the initial seven episodes garnered modest prime time viewership, the show resumed on 29 September 2008 in a later evening slot.
Out of the Question did not continue beyond 2008. Robbins subsequently expressed a preference for guest appearances rather than hosting responsibilities.
Format
Each episode featured multiple celebrity contestants competing in a quiz consisting of three rounds centered around current events and cultural topics. The first season showcased three solo guests per episode, while the second season increased the number to four guests who competed in teams of two.
During the first two rounds, Robbins posed questions sequentially, whereas the final round permitted contestants to buzz in at any moment. Points were awarded for correct responses, generally at Robbins' discretion. The individual or team with the highest total score was declared the winner and had their name inscribed on an Out of the Question trophy.
