Funny You Should Ask is a syndicated comedy game show that was canceled after its fifth season in 2022.
The show, which premiered in September 2017, featured a panel of comedians who would answer various trivia questions, providing humorous responses before revealing the correct answer. The contestants would then decide which comedian’s answer to go with, and points were awarded for choosing the correct answers. The show was hosted by Jon Kelley and produced by Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios.
Despite its unique format blending comedy with a game show, “Funny You Should Ask” struggled to maintain high ratings and a strong viewership. As with many television shows, the decision to cancel it likely came down to a combination of factors, including ratings, production costs, and the potential for ad revenue. The television landscape is highly competitive, and shows that fail to consistently draw viewers are often at risk of cancellation.
The cancellation of “Funny You Should Ask” meant that fans of the show had to say goodbye to the blend of humor and trivia that it offered. However, the show’s five-season run indicates that it had a dedicated fan base and provided a platform for comedians to showcase their talents to a national audience. While it is no longer in production, episodes of the show may still be available for viewing through various online platforms or syndication on certain local TV stations.
