SHOW DESCRIPTION

Late-night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel hosts this game show in which contestants strive to win a monthly paycheck for as little as one month or as long as 40 years (defined by the show as ``for life''). The player must randomly choose from 15 ``light sticks,'' and, for each white light selected, he increases the length of time he will receive his paycheck. Each time he chooses a red light, however, the amount of time goes down and, after four red lights, the game is over. Meanwhile, the contestant's partner, or ``guardian angel,'' sits in a soundproof isolation booth, where he can stop the game at any time by pushing a button, in hopes of ensuring that his partner goes home with at least some money. Unfortunately, that ``angel'' may inadvertently cost the player everything if he pushes the button at the wrong time.
