Have You Been Paying Attention? is an Australian topical quiz show with a mix of news and comedy,[1] produced by Working Dog Productions and hosted by Tom Gleisner who is also one of the executive producers. The show is described by its creators as "a topical comedy-quiz show featuring five guests competing to see who can remember the most about events of the week".

The show premiered on Network Ten on Sunday 3 November 2013 at 7pm. The first series consisted of eight episodes and a second series consisting of seven episodes began in a new timeslot, 6pm, on Sunday 23 February 2014. The 2014 series has been termed 'open ended' with the series presenter and co-executive producer, Tom Gleisner commenting, "As I understand it there’s no end-date as such, but we know in television that nothing is a guarantee".[1]

On 9 April 2014, it was announced that the show would be moved from 6pm Sunday to a 9.30pm time-slot and expanded to a one hour format. The later time allows the show to include more adult themes. The show returned on Monday 19 May 2014.[2][3] From 14 July, it moved an hour earlier to 8:30pm due to low ratings of 24: Live Another Day which previously occupied the timeslot.[4]

On 14 November 2014 the series was renewed for a fourth season,[5] which is set to premiere on 11 May 2015.[6]
