The Rich List

Overview

The Rich List is an American television game show on Fox, that aired its only episode on November 1, 2006 at 9PM ET / PT. The show was then canceled two days later by Fox after rating poorly in comparison to its slot competitors, Lost and CBS's Criminal Minds. It was produced by the British company 12 Yard, who also produced Weakest Link and Dog Eat Dog. It featured competitors making lists of things, such as ABBA songs or Steven Spielberg movies, with the winning team being the one that could name the most. British television presenter Eamonn Holmes was the host. In the episode, Holmes stated, "Our top prize is so big...well, we don't have a top prize!" Despite its failure, two and a half years later, a revised version aired on GSN under the title The Money List, with Fred Roggin hosting.
