You Think You're So Smart is an improvised panel show in the style of British programs like QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and Would I Lie to You?
Format
In every performance, the panelists discuss facts and trivia in that week's category, provided by the show's host, Justin Davis.
Recurring features include the "Ranter's Corner", where a guest speaker delivers a rant related to the night's topic, and "Spin the Wiki", where Justin uses Wikipedia's "Random article" link to supply a random topic, and "Would You Rather", where the panel discusses a choice between two alternatives which both have pros and cons.
