Dennis Miller, the Saturday Night Live Comic who also had a well publicized stint on Monday Night Football, will be hosting the new show “Grand Slam” on GSN. “Grand Slam” is a battle of former champions from all sorts of of different game shows. 16 contestants, including Jeopardy’ Champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter Plus ‘Millionaire Winners’ Dr. Kevin Olmstead and John Carpenter, will battle to see who is the smartest out the bunch. The show will debut on August 7 at 8 PM ET on the Game Show Network.

Executive produced by Michael Davies is pleased as he stated, “GRAND SLAM is the best game show format I’ve seen come out of the UK since ‘Millionaire,’ and Dennis Miller is someone I’ve wanted to work with my entire career.”

So, what are they playing for? $100,000 will go to the winner and the skills they will need is to answer questions ranging math and logic skills, their ways with words and letters, and their grasp of pop culture and current events to win. The shows format matches one on one tournament play until a winner is reached. Just a guess, but I think Ken Jennings is a lock. The guy has a Encyclopedic knowledge and he will be hard to beat.
