Which TV role would you steal?
Richard Gadd kicked off by asking which role someone else played this year they'd most like to play themselves. Joy Taylor said she admires Matthew Rhys but doesn't think she could be him.
“I really love Matthew Rhys, but I don't know that I could be him.”
Dream classic TV show?
When asked which past television series they'd want to join, Krys Marshall picked Gilligan's Island, imagining herself as Marianne in a crop top and shorts.
“'Gilligan's Island' in a little top tie up with a little booty shorts, like Marianne.”
Working with legends no longer here
Chris Perfetti said he'd want to work with Tim Curry, calling him an icon and expressing deep admiration for the late actor.
“Our boy Tim Curry, who I loved so much, such an icon.”
Silly snack and superpower picks

“I think it's got to be flight. I'm always suspicious if people say "I want to be invisible."”
