Ben Stein's Money

Ben Stein’s Money is a comedy game show that aired from 1997 to 2003, where contestants answer trivia questions to win cash prizes. The show is hosted by comedian Ben Stein, who also acts as the “host” of the game, but the actual quiz segment is headed by a regular person called the "Wage Slave" who competes for the money. The unique twist is that Ben Stein, jokingly, "controls" the prize money and can take it away if contestants answer questions incorrectly. The show combines humor with intellectual challenge, emphasizing knowledge and quick thinking.
