Based on Endemol’s successful worldwide format, “101 Ways to Leave a Game Show” will feature contestants competing in one of the most insane game shows in history for a chance to win $50,000. In “101 Ways,” contestants will match wits in a series of multiple choice questions, with one contestant being eliminated every round. But unlike any other game show in the world, the eliminated contestant will then be ejected from the show in spectacular fashion, i.e., being flown away strapped to the wing of a biplane, shot out of a cannon, pushed off the top of a moving semi truck, dragged underwater by a one ton anchor or yanked off a dock by a speed boat. The show will be hosted by Jeff Sutphen (“BrainSurge”).
“Developed in partnership with our UK colleagues, ‘101 Ways to Leave a Game Show’ is unlike any other show we’ve done before,” said David Goldberg, Chairman of Endemol North America. “Incorporating action packed stunts that will eject contestants so outlandishly within the show is sure to keep contestants and viewers on the edge of their seats, having no idea what to expect next. This concept is definitely the next generation of game shows, and we are thrilled to be on the forefront of it.” The show will be produced by Endemol USA and is scheduled to air this summer on ABC. Matt Kunitz (“Wipeout”, “Fear Factor”) will serve as the executive producer. David Goldberg is the chairman of Endemol North America.
