The show is based on the popular bar trivia game of the same name. Levi describes it as:
We want to keep the heart of Geeks Who Drink--the pub circuit--very pure. But we’re also trying to translate that to television, and trying to find ways to do that that are very organic. |
The best part is, each of the two regular geek teams will have a celebrity Captain - and Zac has A LOT of famous friends from his Nerd HQ con enterprises...
I want fan-favorites that would blow people’s minds—and I want to let people to see them in a fun and simultaneously challenging situation. The Joss Whedons of the world, the William Shatners. Nathan Fillion, Seth Green, Matt Smith, a lot of my friends in this world—anyone that fans would tune in and say, “I’m glad I got to see that side of that person.”
The show is set to premiere just after SDCC on July 16th. I, for one will be tuning in.
