Sir Stephen reflected on his nervousness before the show, admitting, "I was preposterously nervous. They upped the music to get your heartbeat to go up a little bit faster." His admission reveals the pressure celebrity contestants face, particularly when they are perceived as knowledgeable figures.
He expressed the challenge of different areas of expertise, stating, "There are different strengths we have and different weaknesses, and there is no shame in it." This perspective encourages a more positive view on knowledge gaps.
Discussing the support from the audience, Sir Stephen stated, "The audience were lovely, very warm, very appreciative, and it was nice to have the feeling they were on your side." This highlights the importance of audience engagement in live performances.
He also advocated for participation in such quizzes, saying, "It's not about exposing ignorance and making people feel bad." This reinforces the idea that quizzes can be a fun learning experience, rather than a test of intelligence.
