Question Team is a British television comedy panel show presented by Richard Ayoade. The show features three different comedian guests each episode, who each present a round of their own questions. Question Team was first broadcast on Dave on 12 October 2021, with episodes airing at 10pm on Tuesdays for the first series, and at 10pm on Mondays for the second.{{Cite web|url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/question-team/|title=Dave Panel Show|website=British Comedy Guide |access-date=2022-12-06}}

Accompanying the release of the second season was a YouTube series called Question Team: Interrogations.{{Cite web|url=https://uktvplay.co.uk/shows/question-team-interrogations/where-to-watch|title=How to watch Question Team: Interrogations|website=UKTV Play |access-date=2022-12-07}} Comedians Abi Clarke and Huge Davies interrogated the soon-to-be Question Team guests on their chosen topic before their appearance on the show.

It was cancelled in 2023.{{Cite web |last=Bennett |first=Steve |title=Richard Ayoade’s Question Team axed : News 2023 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide |url=https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2023/06/28/53425/richard_ayoade%E2%80%99s_question_team_axed |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=www.chortle.co.uk |language=en}}

Format

Question Team flips the traditional panel show format by inviting each of the three comedian guests to bring their own round of questions about their own chosen specialist topic. The other two guests, as well as Ayoade, must answer these questions—which often involve the utilization of props, people, and/or the large in-studio screen.{{Cite web |title=QUESTION TEAM |url=https://interstellar-tv.com/show/question-team/ |access-date=2022-12-06 |website=Interstellar}} Each episode features three comedians, but after each has presented their round, Ayoade delegates his round to be presented by a fourth comedian. The comedians' chosen topics of interest range greatly, from topics such as DIY to animation.

Rounds are out of up to 5 points, and the winner at the end of each episode receives a mystery prize in a manila envelope, and a Question Team-branded bomber jacket and travel mug (in Series 1) or tote bag (in Series 2).{{Cite web|url=https://www.keshetinternational.com/catalogue/9078|title=Question Team|website=Keshet International |access-date=2022-12-13}}
