Synopsis
Who's Still Standing? 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 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.
Who's Still Standing? is a Universal Media Studios production in association with Armoza Formats and July August Productions. Craig Plestis and Tim Puntillo (Minute to Win It) serve as executive producers.
