The Challengers | $60,000 Ultimate Challenge, pt. 4

The Final Challenge of The Challengers on September 24th, 1990. With the wagers placed, does Larry retain his championship and start another path for the next Ultimate Challenge, or will does he walk away a happy man?

The Challengers lasted until August 31st, 1991. It was a Ron Greenberg Production, and was based off Greenberg's 1970s hit, The Who, What, Where Game. Greenberg was also part of the Barry/Enright staff, and had also created The Big Showdown. The Challengers was taped every Friday and distributed quickly throughout the nation to keep up with the headlines received from Newsweek. Dick mentions in this vid that players don't have to take the cash as a credit card from MasterCard, Citibank and Visa, instead take it as a cash option. And according to all-time champion Stan Newman, all players chose to take their winnings in cash.

THe current events questions would make it not a viable show to air in reruns. Though there were fewer topical questions on the later episodes I have seen.
