Clarification : does “still airing” include reruns?
He said European and not from the UK, so that eliminates Canadian and Australian. I thought UK included all of Ireland, but Brexit might have changed that. Plenty of Europeans speak multiple languages, so the mystery guest could be multilingual.
Series could be on a cable or streaming channel. Preacher and Walking Dead have non-Americans playing Americans, so possibly somebody from there.
The UK includes Northern Ireland, but not Ireland, which is a separate country.
But thanks for the catch.
No. I’d interpret “still airing” to mean “new episodes are still being made.”
Final DQ: best known from an HBO show?
Good. So would I.

Formatting is fine.
#1 sounds like Stephen Fry, but he’s not a W.
Take 3 DQs.
It has to be a W? Not sure I can take the DQs then, since it was Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, and Sandy Toksvig.
