Wednesday 2/25, 9 PM - The Greatest Average American

From an ABC press release:

Stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze will host the all-new game show, "The Greatest Average American," premiering WEDNESDAY, FEB. 25 (9:02-10:02 p.m. EST), on ABC and next day on Hulu.

"The Greatest Average American" is a hilarious new game show that celebrates the power of being perfectly average. Each round is packed with laugh-out-loud challenges and trivia as contestants try to guess how everyday Americans think and live. In the end, one lucky player will be crowned the Greatest Average American and get the chance to win the ultimate grand prize: the average American salary of $67,920.

A concept by executive producers Nate Bargatze and John Quinn, "The Greatest Average American" is produced by Walt Disney Television Alternative in association with Nateland and Da Da Production.

The Bargatze show was recorded last week at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. Curious how this is going to look since the NMA is an arena that can fit 9,000 for basketball.

Bargatze hosted the Emmys a few months back, has at least one theme park in development and is the highest-grossing stand-up in terms of ticket sales. Kind of a Midwest Jeff Foxworthy, so to say. Interesting to see how he does.
