Pitt vs. Miami Football Game

Game Show Junkies

Hosted and created by Joe Cheeta, families can play in teams with up to 10 people in Game Show Junkies, which uses elements from shows like “Name That Tune,” “Minute to Win It,” “Let’s Make a Deal” and “Trivia Time.” Each team has a chance to win until the final “Show Down Round.”
