What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Hustler TV series is hosted by Craig Ferguson. Each episode of the show follows five contestants as they collaborate to correctly answer a series of 10 trivia questions that are worth $10,000 each. Their goal is to build the amount of money in a collective prize pot that grows with each correct answer. The catch is that one of the five contestants, aka the Hustler, already knows the correct answers because of their personal experiences or interests. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler. The remaining three players must collectively decide which one of them is the secret Hustler. If the two regular contestants are correct, they split the prize pot that could be worth over $100,000. If the two are wrong, the Hustler takes home the full cash reward.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Hustler for season two? The show seems inexpensive to produce and can be made without an audience (a good thing in these times). I’m thinking that the network is likely to renew the series for a second season since they could put it back into production pretty easily (and maybe speed up the action a bit).

Love watching the hustler.
Love this show! Where is it?
We love the Hustler. I hope it does not get cancelled.
Although the amount of $$$ per show, especially to split, is modest, Craig is the best. He makes it fun and ad libs beautifully. I love it.
Love The Hustler… miss when it isn’t on Thursday’s. Great family show as we love trying to guess who the hustler really is. It has brought our family together in a great way! Thank you
The hustler best tv show im very happy
My family LOVED the Hustler!! Can’t wait for season 2
The Hustler was the best game show on TV. Very original and entertaining. Love Craig Ferguson. He is perfe thorough that show. Please bring it back!!
Maybe have the counter run live on the TV screen, showing at all time what percentage the audience thinks it is at that moment in time. And the people on the show never see this counter until the very end after the people on the show have voted for who they think it is.
LOVE THIS SHOW! Craig Ferguson is so witty! This is the perfect show for him.
