El Gran Cuestionario de Margovya (English: The Big Quiz of Margovya) is an annual Margovyan television program broadcast in the last week of the year on Let's Talk Margovya. The show copies the format of the British show The Big Fat Quiz of the Year which is a comedy panel show in the format of a pub quiz in which three teams of two celebrities each are asked questions about events in the year just gone by. The celebrity contestants write their answers on an electronic board in front of them, and after each round their answers are displayed, earning one point for every correct answer.
The first edition was broadcast on December 2015, and there has been one episode per year since. A general knowledge version of the show, subtitled Edicion Exesivov, was shown on January 2017 followed by two series of three episodes each on July 2017 and January 2018. Lev Arigov has been the host and quizmaster of all editions to date.
