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).
