Online Blackjack Game Makes Move to TV
July 8, 2008
ANTA MONICA, July 7: On July 21, GSN will premiere Catch 21, a new game show from Merrill Heatter that is based on a popular online blackjack game.
The 40-episode series, created by Heatter—of Hollywood Squares fame—and executive produced by Scott Sternberg, blends pop trivia with the classic card game 21. Host Alfonso Ribiero, best known for his run on the 90s sitcom hit Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, will quiz three contestants at a time as they compete to build a hand closest to 21. With every card they are dealt, contestants gain the power to make their competition’s hand worse by passing their cards.
