James Acaster recalls Paul Hollywood's 'sexy eyes' on 'Squid Game' Celebrity Mastermind

James Acaster made quite the comparison between Squid Game and Celebrity Mastermind after appearing in front of host Clive Myrie. The comedian, whose topic of choice was ‘the history of ice cream’, managed to gain three points on his unique subject in the first round, with answers like ‘Creamy Boys’ and ‘Monsieur Ice Cream,’ before comparing his situation to being in Squid Game.

The South Korean survival drama sees hundreds of cash-strapped players accept an invitation to compete in children’s games with a deadly twist – not quite the same as answering on Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry’s.

Yet James was still maintained his appearance on the BBC One quiz show was ‘the highlight of [his] life. ’However, when Clive asked him if this was something he’d wanted to take part in for a while, James replied: ‘No.

I don’t think I want to do it now. ‘But I will keep this conversation going as long as I can, hoping to run out of the clock and we can all go home. ’‘The psychological games you’re playing on us are pretty hardcore, you could hear a pin drop in here, it’s absolutely silent. ‘You’re putting the spotlights on us, it’s like some Squid Game stuff,’ the comedian joked.
