VITAL STATS
Host: Ben Stein
Co-Hosts: Jimmy Kimmel, Nancy Pimenthal, Sal Iacomo
Produced by: Valleycrest Television
Front Game Rules
 In the second round, Stein helms a contestant podium, and the co-host now fills the role of host. Five more categories are offered, each with a question worth between $200 and $500 of Ben's money. Ben is allowed to buzz in and answer questions like the other contestants; if he answers correctly, his balance remains unchanged. At the end of this round, the contestant with the lowest score is eliminated and his/her winnings returned to Ben, and the remaining player wins the game and keeps the money s/he has fleeced to this point.
End Game Rules

Three players competed. In the first round, five categories are shown to the players. One of them is chosen, and a question is read that will add $50-$150 to the player's score, while subtracting it from the $5000 stake that Stein offers at the start of the show. The player that buzzes in and answers correctly is also entitled to a $50 follow-up question. (If nobody gets the first question, the follow-up is available to all three of them.) At the end of the round, the lowest-scoring player is knocked out, and any winnings s/he had earned go back to Ben.
Both Ben and the contestant are now locked away in sound-proof booths. In the bonus round, the contestant and Ben have 60 seconds to answer the same 10 questions. If Ben gets more right answers than the player, he keeps whatever money he has left. If the contestant outscores Ben, s/he gets the remaining money from Ben's stash, totalling $5000. If they tie, Ben gives the contestant an extra $1000.
