The show features contestants who play from their homes via webcams, answering trivia questions relating to current events.

On November 4, 2013, it was announced that Scripps planned to launch Let's Ask America nationwide through a distribution deal with MGM Television.

[1] Contestants participate by Skype from the comfort of their own home, an inexpensive technology negating the need for travel expenses.

In July 2014, Bill Bellamy confirmed he had begun taping episodes as the host for the program's third season, set to begin that fall.

Domestic Television Distribution began to syndicate Let's Ask America to other markets at beginning of the 2013 season.

All four contestants then have approximately 30 seconds to write down their answers onto the card included in their game kits.

The higher-scoring contestant at the end of the third round is the winner and keeps the money earned, and the runner-up is eliminated and leaves with nothing (or $1,000 for charity).

During its three-season run, David Luea from Boston, MA was the only contestant able to play a perfect game and take home the top prize of $50,000.

Starting in the second season, contestants who wager their entire score but are incorrect leave with nothing.

The format was the same as the regular version, with Cincinnati celebrities and personalities playing for local charities.
