Chris Hardwick to host upcoming NBC game show The Wall
By Adam Carlson
Chris Hardwick will be taking a break from talking about zombies on Talking Dead to host a new NBC game show titled The Wall on NBC from LeBron James.
Talking Dead, with its host Chris Hardwick, has become a regular part of the lives of many fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead. People tune in to get in-depth looks at their favorite zombie survival drama as well as play along with games and polls on social media.
Soon, fans will be able to play games with Hardwick in person. A recent casting call has gone up for people interested in being competitors on a new NBC game show titled The Wall, which will be hosted by the familiar face from Talking Dead. But before you CLICK HERE TO APPLY, here is a little of what you’ll need to know about the program.
The Wall is a game show like none other on television right now. Players are rewarded for their trivia knowledge, but must also be able to succeed in dropping a ball down a peg board into different slots with prizes. The program is scheduled for a 10-episode run and is from LeBron James’ and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill Entertainment banner and is developed by Glassman Media with CORE Media.
Chris Hardwick is excited about the opportunity to work with LeBron James and hopefully make some people very rich, as stated in an article on the Variety website.
"“I love game shows, and partnering with LeBron James and NBC to potentially give away millions of dollars to people who deserve it is an incredible opportunity. (I’m sorry, NBC, I’m hoping to give away a lot of your money.)”"
Think of this program as a blend of The Price Is Right‘s Plinko game mixed with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Answer correctly, and prize in the slot the ball falls in will go to the contestant. Answer incorrectly, and the amount of that prize is deducted from their bank. This style of gameplay makes it essential to not only have a great knowledge of trivia, but get lucky with the balls on the The Wall.
