ESPN's Stump The Schwab was the network's answer, albeit a few years later, to Win Ben Stein's Money over at Comedy Central. Howie Schwab was the network's 1st statistician, and the series was created to mark 25 yeas with ESPN.
Stuart Scott, the late, beloved SportsCenter anchor, served as host. Unlike Stein, Schwab didn't become a contestant until the end game, where he went one-on-one with one of the contestants. The series ran for 4 "seasons" across two years (2004-6).
Let's check a sample episode.
Fun while it lasted.
Rating: A-.
