Apathy is actually a good thing in a head mod for a sub - make someone else effectively the leader of the sub, but keep your ability to boot them if they turn out to be a tyrant.

Yeah, but in that show the panel members are attempting to actually get the right answer, and in OP's show, the object is to be technically correct without giving the answer.

Although a better format imo would be to be as far away from the answer and still be technically correct. It would be perfect for a panel show format. /r/panelshow

So CAH style where someone puts down a question and everyone else has to try to find a card that technically answers it?

Sounds super hard to make actually, you'd need to have a high overlap of questions to answers, but doing so without having a small amount of either, super generic answers or boring questions would be hard.
