Pass the Buck was an Australian game show hosted by John Burgess based on the American game show of the same name, airing on the Nine Network from 11 February 2002. Burgess began hosting the show after five years of hosting Burgo's Catch Phrase. Before Pass the Buck went to air, Nine's Director of Programming at the time, John Stephens, was confident of Burgess as host, stating that he would "make the transition [from Burgo's Catch Phrase] to the new format without missing a beat".[1]
The show, which was introduced with others on Nine, such as Fear Factor and Shafted, was short-lived. Nine announced in April 2002 that they would not be producing a second season.[2]
