Have you ever wondered how much Karl Stefanovic knows about the Sydney 2000 Olympics or if Leigh Sales could hold her own in pub trivia on The Simpsons? 

Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson is hosting a special edition of Hard Quiz, pitting television royalty against each other in a battle for the Big Brass Mug. ABC’s Leigh Sales, Seven’s Larry Emdur, 10’s Angela Bishop and Nine’s Karl Stefanovic will face off in "Battle of the Networks" on Wednesday 17th December on ABC and streaming on ABC iview. 

The Quicky's Taylah Strano sat down with host and comedian Tom Gleeson for all the intel on the TV takedown of the year.
