The Million Second Quiz is an American game show that was hosted by Ryan Seacrest (pictured) and broadcast by NBC from September 9 to September 19, 2013. For one million seconds, contestants attempted to win trivia matches, and the four top scorers competed in a stepladder playoff for a top prize of $2,000,000. Executive-produced by Stephen Lambert, Eli Holzman, and David Hurwitz, The Million Second Quiz helped to promote NBC's lineup for the 2013–14 television season. NBC broadcast a live prime time show for each night of the competition (except during Sunday Night Football) and a two-hour finale. Using a mobile app, viewers could play the game against others and potentially earn a chance to appear as a contestant during the prime time episodes. Critics argued that The Million Second Quiz suffered from a confusing format and a lack of drama. Ratings dropped after the show's premiere.
