Ernie Anderson promo for "The Challangers"

"The Challangers" was Dick Clark's variation on "Jeopardy!" with the difference that the shows were taped within the week to be timely (note behind Dick Clark is that episode's date on a screen) and that the players could bet on odds for certain questions, as well as the losers getting to keep what money they collected. This ad is from the show's second week of 9/10/90, highlighting bits from the first week 9/3 - 9/7 1990.

@JD2635 I watched on WFMJ-TV 21 at 7:30 p.m.

I watched The Challengers via KXTV Channel 10 Sacramento which carried the show at 3 PM weekdays until mid-season when $100K Pyramid moved to 3 PM and Challengers moved to 9:30 AM. I also watched Challengers on KJEO-TV Channel 47 which carried the show at 4:30 PM after People's Court.

THis was a sort-of remake of The WHo What or WHere Game, which was created by Ron Greenberg. Greenberg and DIck Clark were co-packagers of this show and the revival of LMAD on NBC at the time.

It didn't last long in the 7:30 slot, since it no doubt got clobbered by Wheel...WNBC moved it back to 9:30 AM around mid-season.

And I noticed game show contestant Doak Fairey.

The Challengers came on WCAU channel 10 CBS.
