Fanatic seeing Tenable on TV regularly if following ultimate in quiz shows (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zealot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fanatic' is the definition.
(both can mean an extremist)

'tenable on tv regularly if following ultimate in quiz shows' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'regularly' could be 'alot' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'alot' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'seeing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zealot that I've seen before include "Over-zealous person, fanatic" , "Fanatic, obsessed person" , "Fervent, perhaps militant, proponent" , "A fanatic or obsessed follower" , "Fervent partisan" .)
