Tony Hinchcliffe on Kill Tony

Has hosted every one of 594 episodes, 2013–2026. Like Redban, he has no bucket sets of his own — he's in all of them, so a normal search mostly missed him. This page is the liturgy of the show, in his own words, counted rather than guessed.

What he says, every single episode

• “60 seconds uninterrupted” — the rule of the bucket, said in 96% of transcribed episodes. “They get 60 seconds uninterrupted. You know their time is up near the sound of a kitten.”
• “Make some noise for…” — the intro to almost every set, 88% of episodes.
• “Here we go” — the line that starts the clock, 97% of episodes.
• “The bucket” — 96% of episodes. Names get pulled from it every single week.
• “Ladies and gentlemen” — 98% of episodes, more than anything else he says.
