No.
It's one of those American programs that has spawned several of my favourite stars (in the past at least) but I've never been able to get into the show itself when they've tried to run it in the UK. It's very American (surprise surprise) but also seems stilted and amateurish.
There are similarish UK programs that work or have or have worked but the fact they are on Radio 4 indicates their general appeal.
