A Game of Trivia, Smarts, and Strategy: The 65-Episode Series Will See if Contestants Can Beat The Best Trivia Minds, Including 'Jeopardy!' G.O.A.T. Ken Jennings
MASTER MINDS, hosted by EmmyŽ-nominated Game Show Host Brooke Burns("Baywatch"; "The Chase") will debut on April 6 at 4:00 p.m. ET and air weekdays.
In MASTER MINDS, three contestants square off against three trivia Master Minds in multiple rounds of intense trivia competition. The lowest scoring player on each side is eliminated until the top competitor and top Master Mind are left standing and now must face off, head-to-head, in the Ultimate Trivia Challenge. If the contestant can get more questions correct than the Master Mind, they will win $10,000 and come back to challenge the Masters again. If they win three games in a row, they join the ranks of the Master Minds and will appear in future episodes.
Actress and EmmyŽ-nominated television host Brooke Burns began her career with breakout roles in "Ally McBeal," "Baywatch," and "Melrose Place." In 2002, she made her game show hosting debut on NBC's "Dog Eat Dog," and went on to host ABC's "You Deserve It" with Chris Harrison. From 2013-2015 Burns served as host of Game Show Network's EmmyŽ-nominated and wildly popular UK-adapted trivia show, "The Chase," where she was also nominated for an EmmyŽ as outstanding game show host. Burns is also known for her starring roles on the Hallmark and Lifetime Channels, currently for the original movie franchise "Gourmet Detective," and earlier films "A Sister's Revenge," "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," and "Christmas Connection."
