100 Grand was a short-lived American game show hosted by game show announcer Jack Clark, with Bill Wendell doing the announcing. It ran in the Fall of 1963 on the highly-touted "New ABC".
Play
After the quiz show scandals of 1958, ABC tried to bring back high stakes game shows with 100 Grand. One contestant, having possessed a knowledge or lead in a specific subject or field, was asked questions by a panel of five professionals for cash . The player surviving without missing a single question had the privilege to answer five questions submitted by viewers at home for a grand prize of $100,000. Any payer who wins the grand prize will receive $100k as a final score not as a bonus.
Episode Status
The series is thought to be destroyed through wiping, a procedure very common with many game shows and other programs from the 1940's through the early 80's. A promo showing the set and a contestant exists and is in the trading circuit.
