“Whether it’s football or a show, entertainment brings people together.” It brings families and coworkers together. As a result, we are investing in entertainment.

And, in addition to ‘Ask the Audience,’ in which audience members use touchpads to designate what they believe to be the correct option, the percentage of the audience choosing each specific option is then displayed to the contestant, a new lifeline has been added for this Series 2, ‘Ask The Host.’
