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

'superfluous details and show a quiz programme instead?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'ignore' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ignore' could be 'cut' (synonyms) and 'cut' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cut to the chase that I've seen before include "Start discussing important matters" , "'Stop beating about the bush!'" , "Get to the point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
