I was really hoping that FOX wouldn’t be completely unreasonable about Mark Walberg’s The Moment of Truth duties, but I knew it was coming. It’s not a rumor anymore, Christopher Knight has officially been named the host of the new syndicated game show Trivial Pursuit: America Plays, which debuts in national syndication this Fall. Check your local listings because they don’t have a website yet showing which affiliates are taking the show. But hey, at least we got a press release.
I can tell you the future website will be located here, at tpamericaplays.com. Again, there’s nothing there yet. The show stars production this week so we’ll find out more information soon hopefully. All we know about the format is that right answers add money into the Studio’s Bank, and wrong answers add money to America’s Bank. Whichever team has more money at the end of the show may be taking home all of it. We were told they changed the format from what we originally saw in the pitch film, which was essentially “Get all six pie pieces in the same process over and over.”
The presidents of the company in charge of Trivial Pursuit, Debmar Mercury, said, “ ”This is a game that has been a hit in 17 countries and in 26 languages so the opportunity to bring the brand to television with Chris in the driver’s seat is really a thrill.” They added: “With Chris at the helm we are sure that this show will find a very passionate audience.” Christopher Knight was originally known for being a Brady kid from The Brady Bunch but is known today for being more of a reality show whore.
