Claudia Winkleman

Winkleman brings a different kind of uncertainty to Would I Lie to You?: the account can seem as surprising to its teller as to the opposing team. Try the seesaw-and-potatoes story in the show’s compilation of her exchanges with Lee Mack. Her willingness to remain inside a peculiar premise gives his questions plenty to work with. The enjoyment lies in the conversational confusion, so leave room for the other guests’ reactions rather than treating her account as a straightforward biographical statement.
