Who’s Still Standing?, an upcoming game show on NBC that offers contestants the opportunity to win up to $1 million while answering trivia questions, will premiere on Monday, December 19 at 8 p.m. and will air for four consecutive nights in the hour that week. The game show will then run weekly in its regularly scheduled Monday 8 p.m. time period until singing competition The Voice returns on January 30.

From what I've seen, it looks like a neat amalgam of Grand Slam and Russian Roulette, but I don't think it befits the money climb and current other tropery.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Right now I'd have to say keep our fingers crossed for another hit prime-time game.  NBC's track record with Christmas week airings of game shows, (DOND, 1 VS 100, and Identity), has been at least good enough, that more episodes of each were ordered after their initial runs.

I'm rooting for this one. I remember seeing a clip of this over the summer, and was pleasantly surprised to find it didn't fit the mold of the primetime game show post-2005.

Still felt like something that should air in syndication for about 1/20 of its budget.
