Four contestants play against an opponent, known as the "chaser", who plays for the bank.[2] The show was originally hosted by Andrew O'Keefe[3][4][5] until July 2021, when he was replaced by Larry Emdur.[6][7] The series began with Brydon Coverdale, Anne Hegerty, Matt Parkinson and Issa Schultz as chasers,[8][9] with Mark Labbett joining in 2016.[10] Shaun Wallace appeared as a guest chaser in 2018, and Cheryl Toh has appeared as a chaser since 2019.[11][12] Mara Lejins joined as a chaser in 2022,[13] and David Poltorak joined in 2024.
