Tell you what / I tell you what is a grammatically incorrect phrase commonly used by TV pundits as a way of indicating they are about to tell the audience something. Many pundits are guilty of using this phrase to start nearly every other sentence. The irony of the phrase "I tell you what" is that when someone begins a phrase thus, they rarely proceed to tell us anything, but instead just proceed to state the blatantly obvious.

Many pundits are guilty of using this phrase to start nearly every other sentence. The irony of the phrase "I tell you what" is that when someone begins a phrase thus, they rarely proceed to tell us anything, but instead just proceed to state the blatantly obvious. Newspaper pundits are able to resist the urge to waste valuable column inches on "I tell you what." They instead prefer the more traditional capital letter to start a sentence, rather than a meaningless stock phrase.
