Chris Jericho to Host ABC's 'Extreme' Game Show 'Downfall'
Chris Jericho is going from tossing people out of the ring to hurling them off skyscrapers. The pro-wrestler has signed to host ABC's new game show 'Downfall,' in which contestants answer trivia questions on top of an L.A. high-rise. If they get the questions wrong, they risk seeing their winnings, personal possessions, and even their friends and family fly off the side of the building, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
An earlier report suggested that the players themselves could take the plunge off the rooftop if they fail to answer the questions correctly.
Billed, of course, as an "extreme" reality game show, 'Downfall' will feature Jericho, seen recently on the big screen in 'MacGruber,' asking contestants questions and tempting them with different offers, 'Let's Make a Deal'-style.
ABC has given 'Downfall' a six-episode order and will debut the show alongside the season three premiere of 'Wipeout' on Tue., Jun. 22.
