Make Me a Millionaire Inventor is an American television docu-series which airs on CNBC, and has been called "a sort-of Mythbusters-meets-Shark-Tank mashup."[1] The show's two hosts, George Zaidan and Deanne Bell, are "on a mission to find the best inventions NEVER made and give them new life."[2] Each episode features Zaidan and Bell (a chemist/advisor and mechanical engineer, respectively) teaming up with two sets of inventors who have "hit a brick wall," to help them prepare their inventions for a pitch to potential investors who can help take them to market.[3]

The original version of the show aired in the UK in 2013 on Sky Vision, and the rights to the show were sold to a number of other providers worldwide.[4]
