Trivial Pursuit: America Plays is an American syndicated game show loosely based on the board game of the same name. It premiered on September 22, 2008 and aired first-run episodes through May 22, 2009 (with repeats continuing until September 18). The host was Christopher Knight (the pilot was hosted by Mark L. Walberg[1]), and the show is produced by Wheeler/Sussman Productions in association with Hasbro. The series was syndicated by Debmar-Mercury.
Trivial Pursuit: America Plays replaced Temptation on a majority of stations that carried it, and inherited its predecessor's low ratings. In January 2009, it was announced that America Plays would not be renewed for a second season.[2][3]
