Dennis Miller has signed on to host his first game show, GSN's Grand Slam, in which top game show contestants compete against one another.
Grand Slam, executive produced by Michael Davies for Embassy Row and Sony Pictures Television, features 16 former game show contestants vying for top honors in a single-elimination tournament. They will be tested on their general knowledge, math and logic skills, ability with words and letters and grasp of pop culture and current events, with one winner taking home a $100,000 grand prize.
Among the contestants are Jeopardy! champs Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter along with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire top prizewinners Kevin Olmstead and John Carpenter.
Amanda Byram (The Swan, Paradise Hotel) will serve as co-host on the eight-episode series, which goes into production today in New York. Grand Slam is set to debut at 8 p.m. EDT on Aug. 7.
GSN senior vp programming Jamie Roberts praised Miller.
