The Million Second Quiz
''The Million Second Quiz'' is an American game show hosted by Ryan Seacrest and broadcast by NBC. The series aired from September 9 to September 19, 2013. For a titular million seconds (11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds), contestants attempted to maintain control of a "money chair" by winning trivia matches against other contestants, earning money for every second they occupied the chair. The top four scoring contestants were secluded together for the remainder of the time period: at the end of the million seconds, the top four contestants were awarded the money they had accumulated, and competed in a stepladder playoff for an additional $2,000,000 prize.
Executive produced by Stephen Lambert, Eli Holzman, and David Hurwitz, ''The Million Second Quiz'' was positioned as a live, multi-platform television event, which Lambert dubbed "the Olympics of quiz", that would help to promote NBC's lineup for the 2013–14 television season. The series was cross-promoted through a number of NBCUniversal properties, and NBC broadcast a live primetime show for each night of the competition (except for September 15, due to ''Sunday Night Football'') and a two-hour finale. Additionally, through a mobile app, viewers could play the game itself against others, and could earn a chance to appear as a contestant during the primetime episodes. Outside of the primetime airings, the program was also webcast for the duration of the competition through the ''Million Second Quiz'' app and NBC.com.
Critics argued that the confusing format of ''The Million Second Quiz'', its lack of drama, along with technical issues with the show's app during the first days of the series, caused viewers to lose interest in watching. Although peaking at 6.52 million viewers for its premiere, ratings steadily dropped throughout before rising back up near the finale.
==Development==
The concept of ''The Million Second Quiz'' was intended to make the show a "national event"; while pitching the format to NBC, creator Stephen Lambert compared the game itself to being like a tennis match, and ultimately considered it to be "the Olympics of quiz." To promote the series, NBC relied on a cross-platform promotional strategy similar to what it had used in the past for ''The Voice''; including appearances by host Ryan Seacrest on other NBC programs, such as the network's NFL pre-game show, ''Football Night in America''. to support the show, and tie-in advertisements for programs airing across other NBCUniversal properties (such as USA Network). The program itself also served as a vehicle for promoting NBC's then-upcoming lineup for the 2013-14 television season.
