* A recurring guest of the 8 out of 10 Cats varient of the show is Roisin Conaty, who most famously [[NeverLiveItDown thought that she had the word news when there wasn't even a W on the board]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvz4zqqlCiI&ab_channel=Channel4 Joe Wilkinson's poem.]]

* One numbers round (in an episode hosted by Moira Stuart) had a target of 108... and two of the numbers in the selection were 100 and 8. Everyone onstage burst out laughing when the target came up; Rachel asked, "Can I sit down?" and one contestant immediately shouted, "I've got it!" They still ran the clock, and Rachel did indeed sit down, not even bothering with her usual clipboard and pen for figuring out a solution. After time ran out and the contestants gave their answers to Moira, Rachel asked, "Why are you asking Moira? I'm the numbers expert!"

"Erection. Don't-don't do this to me Kate. I don't want to be on any more late night 'blooper' shows."

Added DiffLines:

* Colin likes to poke fun at Rachel whenever her birthday (January 11) occurs during the taping of a series. He gives a grand introduction, describing someone who's had an enormous impact on the show -- and then wishes a happy birthday to a celebrity other than Rachel who celebrates it on the same day (American R&B singer Music/MaryJBlige in 2023, British singer Jamelia in 2024).
** 2024: Colin sets out a huge chocolate cake and cuts a piece for Rachel during the first numbers round. When the show comes back from its first break, she's started eating it and he asks her how it tastes. She just turns away with a smug little smile and says, "It's mine. You're not having any."

** Similarly, Jimmy asks "Okay, Susie, [[https://youtu.be/pHTTQ_gI76k?t=2m50s what have you been looking into recently]]? [[spoiler:...other than gloryholes]]." This quip stopped the show in its tracks as the panel (and audience) laughed for a good half minute. After the laughs subside...

** Another good one, the letters O-R-G-A showed up on the board, and Carol quickly grabbed her face, fearing that the next letter would be "S". As expected...they ask for a consonant and the next letter is... N.

* During the Jan 2019 Champion Of Champions Series (episode broadcast 17th Jan), the first numbers game was so easy that after 2 seconds both contestants spur-of-the-moment broke out into a game of ''Rock Paper Scissors''.
