Generation Gap (game show)

Generation Gap is an American game show that premiered on ABC on July 7, 2022. The series is hosted by Kelly Ripa.

Format
Generation Gap is a comedy game show in which pairs of family members from different generations (typically a grandparent and grandchild) compete to win cash and prizes by answering pop culture questions. Two teams competed per episode in the first season, three in the second.

The main game is played in two rounds. Each individual member is asked a question in turn about the culture of their teammate's generation. A correct answer awards money to the team, while a miss allows either opposing member from the generation in question to buzz in and steal for half value. Questions in Round 1 are worth $500 on an initial answer and $250 on a steal; these values are doubled to $1,000/$500 in Round 2.

After two rounds, the highest-scoring team keeps their money, while the other teams receive $1,000 each. The winning team advances to the "Toddler's Choice" bonus round, in which the youngest member of their extended family is presented with a choice of two prizes: a new car or a toy intended for young children. The family receives whichever item the child selects.
