Miller GSN is launching a game show that pits winners of other game shows such as Jeopardy and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire against each other - and it has signed Dennis Miller as host.
Grand Slam is an eight episode head-to-head single elimination tournament featuring America’s top 16 game show contestants competing to determine who is the best.
The series, executive produced by Michael Davies for Embassy Row and Sony Pictures Television, will premiere Tuesday, August 7 at 8 p.m. ET on GSN.
In making the announcement, Jamie Roberts, GSN’s senior vp of programming said, “Getting Dennis Miller to be our host on Grand Slam is the game show equivalent of landing the #1 draft pick. He is the perfect talent for this ultimate challenge that will determine who is the greatest game show contestant of all time.”
