An American Game Show on ABC in which 24 contestants compete in a series of events seemingly designed to humiliate and otherwise annoy them. The last contestant standing wins $50,000. Inspired by crazy Japanese stunt game shows like Takeshi's Castle (although older viewers may also find it not dissimilar to Jeux Sans Frontieres). Not to be confused with the 1988-89 game show of the same name. Or the futuristic racing game series; coincidentally, this Wipeout also has a video game of it.
