1 vs. 100 (NBC)

To stay in the game, the player must answer trivia questions and get every one right — wrong answers from the mob eliminates them from the game, driving up the cash prize for the player. If the player can eliminate all 100 members of the mob, which will also be stacked with surprise opponents, such as geniuses, valedictorians, grandmothers and other game show champs, he will go home with the $1 million top prize. However, if the player gets one answer wrong, the game is over and “the mob” will split the player’s winnings up to that point and a new contestant gets to take on “the mob.”

    I was just watching America’s Funniest Videos, which used to be hosted by Bob Saget, and wondering what had happened to him. Now I know. Isn’t the interweb wonderful?

    True, Dennis. Bob Saget also starred in the sitcom Full House simultaneously with AFV. A friend of mine said recently that Saget’s stand-up comedy routine is apparently quite raunchy. Happy New Year!
