"Two teams of three panelists (one consisting of regulars (the Home Team) and the other consisting of guests (the Visiting Team)) competed in a tongue-in-cheek quiz where the questions were about the past week's news. Points were awarded in an arbitrary manner to teams whose players gave correct answers that were also inventive, charming, or provocative. The team with the most points were the winners and won a tasteless gift.
