Duel

2007–2008 · 2 seasons

A brisk, tension-filled trivia showdown where every wrong answer raises the stakes and the jackpot.

Overview
Duel is an American game show hosted by Mike Greenberg that first aired from December 17 to December 23, 2007 on ABC. The show aired as a week-long six-episode tournament at 8:00 PM from Monday through Friday with the finale on Sunday. The show's website described the program as a cross between Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and the World Series of Poker. The game was played in a head-to-head format in which contestants answered general trivia questions, with wrong answers contributing to a growing jackpot. The winner of the Duel jackpot of $1,720,000 was Ashlee Register, whose grand total was nearly $1.8 million when combined with previous winnings, making her the first highest female game show money winner in the U.S. at the time. The second season aired in a weekly format with modified rules from April 4 to July 25, 2008 at 9:00 PM.
