What’s This TV Show About?
Chris Hardwick hosts this new game show airing on the NBC television network. The Wall follows pairs of players as they pursue a cash prize of up to $12 million. When a team answers a trivia question correctly, a green ball drops from the top of the grid-like wall and bounces randomly toward the bottom of the four-stories high structure. At the bottom of the wall, the ball will land in one of many slots, each with a value of $1 to $1 million. That value is added to the team’s total winnings. If the team misses a question, a red ball descends toward a random slot. The resulting amount will be deducted from the team’s total. In this game, players need both the answers, and lucky bounces, to win a big cash prize. Executive producer LeBron James is expected to appear in season two.

Telly’s Take
The premiere ratings were way down but are still respectable in today’s TV landscape. Will the numbers hold? I tend to doubt it. I’m thinking that The Wall will be cancelled but NBC could keep it around to fill in gaps in the schedule. Subscribe for free updates on any cancellation or renewal news about The Wall.
