ABC sets Shatner quiz airdate

Show Me The Money, a new quiz show hosted by William Shatner, will air Wednesday nights at 8pm, ABC has announced.

Shatner's show will replace Dancing With The Stars' results show beginning on November 22, when the ballroom dancing contest ends its current run.

ABC has also confirmed more details about the show, ranging from the mechanism by which contestants will be eliminated to why audiences can expect to see Shatner indulging in some on-screen dancing.

In a statement, the network explained:

"In Show Me the Money, contestants must answer a minimum of six trivia questions. After each answer, the contestant must choose from among thirteen stunning dancers on stage, each of whom holds a scroll with a dollar figure to be added or subtracted - for correct or incorrect answers -- to the contestant's total.

"A correct answer, combined with choosing a dancer holding big money, can quickly catapult a player's winnings into the millions. But a wrong answer, combined with the wrong dancer, can wipe out winnings in an instant. There is no opportunity to play it safe - contestants will be tempted to take the money and run but this rollercoaster ride of a game show requires that you play to the very end.

"Adding to the variety aspect of the show are thirteen dazzling 'Million Dollar Dancers' ready to break into any style of dance, while audacious master of ceremonies William Shatner spontaneously boogies with the beauties on stage."
