The Million Second Quiz

The Million Second QuizThe Voice is a huge hit, thanks in part to its strong integration of social TV and the second screen. Now NBC is hoping to replicate that success with a new live competition show airing this fall called The Million Second Quiz. From the description NBC released, The Million Second Quiz sounds like Big Brother meets Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. In Million Second Quiz, players compete in a 12-day, 24/7 competition that tests their knowledge and endurance. The show itself will be broadcast live from a gigantic hourglass-shaped structure in Manhattan, where the reigning champions in the game will also live.
