NBC bills the program as a “game show that tests brains, brawn, and family bonds.” So where the show’s concept originate? Well, it was inspired by the amazing time they had on The Ellen Show during a “Taste Buds” segment where they hilariously participated in a blind-folded food taste test.

The show’s further described as: “This power couple isn’t just hosting – they’re getting in on the action as competitors! In each episode, they’ll part ways and be “adopted” into a family of four as they compete in a series of insanely fun games with $100,000 up for grabs!”

That’s right, so your family of four will either be paired with Dax or Kristen when you get on the show.

And “family” is a pretty loose term, as Ellen Tube puts it: “We’re now casting teams of four and looking for all combinations of families, friends, and co-workers! Are you super competitive on game nights? Do you visit the carnival and wish the games were supersized? Do your family and friends enjoy silly games, wacky puzzles, and big, fun challenges? Now is your time to shine!”
