Each episode focuses on around four issues. Each issue is introduced and briefly explained by McLaughlin, and then an open debate begins. The show is best known for the quirky style of McLaughlin, who is fond of making witty predictions based on current events, and of asking questions in interesting ways. One phrase he often uses is: "On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing impossibility and 10 representing complete metaphysical certitude, what is the chance of...?". He often ends the show by yelling "Bye-bye!" after the final question. For the show around Thanksgiving, McLaughlin instead shouts "Happy Thanksgiving, Gobble Gobble!" His style has been parodied by many ''. CURRENT ''MCLAUGHLIN'' PANELISTS
