Network Ten's popular quiz show Have You Been Paying Attention? is going global.

Working Dog Productions has sold the award-winning format to television company CBS, making it the first original Australian program to benefit from Ten's deal with the US media conglomerate. CBS acquired Network Ten late last year after the company entered voluntary administration.

While no local celebrities are set to appear on the forthcoming international versions of Have You Been Paying Attention?, any spin-offs will still be produced by the team at Working Dog, which has previously delivered Aussie classics such as The Castle and Frontline.

The Australia iteration of Have You Been Paying Attention? , now in its sixth season, is hosted by Tom Gleisner, with regular cast members including comedians Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang. Jane Kennedy, Kitty Flanagan, Urzila Carlson, Kate Langbroek and Dave Hughes are among the recurring guests who appear on the show.
