The Weakest Link

2001–2003 · 3 seasons

A chilly, brisk quiz where the host's withering put-downs and the contestants' nervous blunders make for tense, slightly cruel fun.

Overview
A team of contestants answers rapid-fire general knowledge questions, building a chain of correct answers to bank increasing amounts of money toward a top prize of $1,000,000. After each round, the team votes off the member they consider the weakest, who is dismissed with the iconic line: "You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye." The game continues until only two remain, who face off in a final round.
