By: TV News Desk Dec. 19, 2011
NBC's newest game show WHO'S STILL STANDING? will premiere on Monday, December 19 at 8:00 pm/et. The series is a unique and thrilling trivia show designed to keep both contestants and viewers on their toes - by dropping contestants through the floor!
Hosted by two-time Emmy Award winner Ben Bailey ("Cash Cab"), the new series is based on the hit Israeli format entitled "Still Standing," which offers contestants the opportunity to win up to $1 million while competing in head-to- head trivia battles. The series had its global premiere on Israel's Channel 10 in December 2010.
At the start of the trivia competition, there is one main competitor and 10 challengers.
The main competitor chooses one of the 10 challengers to go head-to-head against in a trivia battle for a high-stakes pot that can lead to a $1 million dollar jackpot. If one of the two players answers a question incorrectly, he or she is dropped through a trap door and is out of the competition. The trivia battles continue until one player is left standing. Ultimately, if the main contestant prevails against the other 10 challengers, he or she can win up to $1 million.
Ben Bailey is well known to audiences as host of the highly successful "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel. He has won two Daytime Emmy Awards for his work on "Cash Cab" (for Outstanding Game Show Host), and the show has won three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show.
Bailey has appeared regularly at comedy festivals over the years and has guest starred on numerous television comedies and dramas, including NBC's "30 Rock" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" as well as "Hope & Faith," "The Knights of Prosperity" and "Mad TV." His one-hour special "Road Rage" premiered on Comedy Central on May 21, 2011 and his "Comedy Central Presents" special aired on April 21, 2006. He also has a recurring role in the daytime drama "One Life to Live."
