(Format, 180 min./60 min./30 min. eps.) Showcasing top international stars, a bubbly mix of talk, game and variety elements held together by a charismatic host who serves as master of ceremonies, cheerleader and umpire. The actual game-show format is simple: individuals or groups claim they can perform a difficult task, such as a stunt, a memory feat or any other trick. The guest celebrities bet that the contestants can or cannot carry off the proposed trick. It is then performed live on the spot.

Pitch Perfect: “In this show, nothing is pre-recorded or edited. If the celebrities lose their bet, they must complete a task of their own, most often an entertaining charitable gesture. Airing since 1981, Wanna Bet? was the absolute top entertainment show in the German-speaking territories and, to date, a hit around the world.” —Ralf Rückauer, VP Unscripted
