Hole in the Wall (American game show)

Brooke Burns and Fox announcer Mark Thompson were the hosts of this version.

On May 20, 2008, Fox announced that it would commission 13 hours of Hole in the Wall from FremantleMedia North America.

On March 17, 2009, Fox pulled the series again, replacing it with reruns of King of the Hill and American Dad!

[3] On July 20, 2010, Cartoon Network announced that it picked up the series, now updated for its younger audience.

The series premiered on October 6, 2010, with The Real World: Hawaii cast member Teck Holmes as host.

A second cycle debuted in April 2011, and featured a new co-host, lifeguard Aaron Gingrich.

One rule that is almost automatically assumed is that contestants must jump through the hole without breaking it all off or falling in the water.

The team with more points wins a guaranteed $25,000 and plays the final "Blind Wall" for extra cash at $100,000.

In case of tie, both teams advanced to the tiebreaker and final "Blind Wall" with $50,000 at stake.

One team member, blindfolded, is guided by Brooke to the center of the play area.

On October 24, 2008, Fox pulled the series from its schedule, replacing it with reruns of Kitchen Nightmares.

[7] On January 21, 2009, Fox pulled the series again and replaced it with reruns of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

Reruns of the series began airing on Fox Reality (now Nat Geo Wild) on May 25, 2009.

[3] The show's producers announced that they planned on shooting celebrity and themed episodes of the game, even though one was shot.

4 specials were also made for the Cartoon Network version, all appearing in Season 2.

All three players of the winning team compete in the fifth round that has a final, more difficult wall, thus being named the Impossiwall.
