“Minute to Win It,” hosted by All-American chef and television
personality Guy Fieri (“Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”), features
competitors participating in a series of simple, yet nerve-wracking
games that can lead to a $1 million prize. In each one-hour episode,
competitors face 10 challenges that escalate in level of difficulty
using everyday household items. Each game has a one-minute time limit
and failure to finish the task on time will eliminate the contestant.
At various points throughout the game, the competitor can walk away with
the money earned up to that point — but it will take nerves of steel
to complete all 10 tasks to win $1 million. The competitors, who come
from all walks of life, are shown over 60 games prior to the competition
and are encouraged to practice these one-of-a-kind challenges at
home.
“Minute to Win It” is produced by Universal Media
Studios with Friday Television. Craig Plestis, Tim Puntillo (NBC’s
“Identity”), Mattias Olsson and Jock Millgardh serve as executive
producers.
