Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What do they know? Do they know things? Let's find out!

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The joke is the title that refuses to stop: three questions, an exclamation, and a trailing shrug that tells you the writer has no idea how a game show works. Fans love that the show then turns a daft quiz into one of the series' bleakest hours, and "Do they know things? Let's find out!" is the standard way to tee up any question to a group of friends.

Spoilers for BoJack HorsemanShow the scene
The title of the game show in season 2. In "Higher Love" (episode 6), the writer J.D. Salinger, who has faked his own death, pitches Princess Carolyn and Wanda a show in which celebrities answer trivia questions, rambling out this very phrase as the title. Princess Carolyn calls it a working title. In "Let's Find Out" (episode 8, 17 July 2015) the show premieres on MBN with Mr. Peanutbutter as host and BoJack as its first guest. Daniel Radcliffe turns up as a surprise rival, and the quiz turns personal.
