HQ Trivia<\/a> is having its moment in the sun. With a $15 million infusion from a group founded by\u00a0gajillionaire\u00a0fun-ruiner Peter Thiel, the live trivia game is angling to become your twice-daily habit of choice.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we like about HQ:<\/strong> You can (in theory) win real money and the questions are appropriately difficult.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we don’t like about HQ:<\/strong> Virtually everything else.<\/p>\n

5 ways to fix HQ Trivia<\/h2>\n

1. Fire Scott<\/h3>\n

Your usual trivia host is Scott Rogowsky, a bearded, angular man-child who enjoys shouting dad jokes. Some people love him and refer to him with the unfortunate nickname “Quiz Daddy.” But if we wanted puns shouted at us for ten minutes while we were trying to concentrate, we’d crank up the volume on our local TV weatherman while attempting to do our taxes. The New York Times says, “On first viewing, Scott can come across as incredibly annoying.”<\/a> Yes. And on second viewing. And eightieth. And ninety-seventh.<\/p>\n

Just contrast Scott’s flailing flop-sweat desperation with the calm, cool demeanor of Jimmy Kimmel when he hosted the game one night in January.<\/p>\n
