Grand Slam is an American game show based on the British series of the same name. Unlike the British series, which was played as a regular quiz show, the American version was conducted as a super-tournament featuring contestants who had appeared on other game shows.

Grand Slam aired on GSN for eight episodes from August 4, 2007 to September 8, 2007. Dennis Miller[1] and Amanda Byram hosted the program and provided commentary between rounds.[2] The questions were asked by Pat Kiernan, who was never seen on camera. The series was produced at Sony Music Studios in New York City by Embassy Row Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television and GSN. The 74-game Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings won the Grand Slam tournament, defeating Ogi Ogas in the final round.
