SPLIT SECOND - CHATTING WITH HOST JOHN MICHAEL HIGGINS

A Classic Quiz Show From the 70s and 80s is Coming Back to Television on Game Show Network!

Based on a format from game show legend Monty Hall, Spilt Second asks three contestants to decide in a split second which of three general interest trivia questions they can answer. The first player to buzz in gets the first pick, and the last player is left to answer whatever is left, which is often the most difficult. The player with the fastest response time and the highest success rate answering questions over the first three rounds advance to the bonus game where their ability to answer a rapid-fire series of questions could win them $10,000.

Actor and Emmy®-nominated game show host John Michael Higgins is perhaps most recognized for his iconic roles in films like “Pitch Perfect,” “The Break-Up” and “Best In Show.” On the small screen, Higgins portrayed veteran news anchor Chuck Pierce on “Great News” and was recently seen as Principal Toddman in the “Saved by the Bell” revival.

Split Second is John Michael Higgins’ second show on Game Show Network. He previously hosted America Says, running for five seasons and over 500 episodes to date.

Split Second Premieres on Monday, April 17th 7:30pm ET On Game Show Network
