Well, it's a persistent problem - famous Irish people are often, through ignorance or laziness, labelled as British by overseas media for whom simple fact checks are too much effort and are sometimes expected to take this as a compliment!

It certainly renders the OP's secret criticising Aisling a bit silly if they can't even get their own basic facts straight.

OP is some rando on the internet. The comedian in question is a captain (?) on a quiz show. OP was wrong, but I kind of think that if you're the head of a team, higher standards probably apply to you and knowing the background of the members of your team is part of the job, especially if it just takes a peek on wikipedia.

It's a comedy panel show - generally, all the panelists are comedians. Getting the answer right and winning the quiz is a negligible part of the show. The quiz element is just an excuse for the comedians to riff off the topics raised by the questions and deliberate wrong answers for comic effect is a big part of it. It's the team captain's job to be funny, not to know everything

Oh, I don't expect them to know everything. But it seems like knowing the basics about the people who are appearing that week isn't asking much. Like I said, two minutes on Wikipedia is plenty. That's not a real high bar, tbh.
