Science Channel Premieres "Head Games" Trivia Show

-- Think you know it all? This October, Science Channel is willing to bet cold hard cash that you don't in "Head Games," the network's first trivia show for television and online.

From executive producer Whoopi Goldberg and her production company Whoop Inc., the all-new irreverent trivia series uses humor and science facts to put the intellect of contestants and viewers alike to the test. "Head Games" premieres Saturday, October 17, 2009 on Science Channel.

Hosted by comedian and actor Greg Proops, "Head Games" gives viewers science trivia they can chew on. In each episode, contestants test their aptitude against questions about peculiar, unexpected facts from the natural and scientific world. When a flea jumps, does it accelerate at the same rate as the space shuttle? Can astronauts belch while in space? What has more chromosomes: humans, peas or crayfish? How many inches of snow are equivalent to one inch of rain? What is the average length of a bolt of lightning: 100 feet, one mile or five miles?

"Head Games will get our audience excited about the world around them through science. We're showing them how ubiquitous science really is, how it touches everything in their lives," said Debbie Myers, Science Channel general manager.

"Someone might ask the question, 'why are we producing this show?,'" said executive producer Whoopi Goldberg. "If I said it's for the money, nobody would believe me. So let me tell you something more unbelievable, I love science facts."
