The Money List, hosted by Baz Ashmawy is a brand new Sunday night quiz on RTE One and RTÉ Player, where two teams of complete strangers are challenged to fill in missing answers on a list. The more lists they complete, the more money they win. The lists can be about anything, from ‘Presidents of the USA’ to ‘Madonna Hit Singles’.
When the list title is revealed, each team offers a bid on how many correct answers they think they can name. The teams play from inside soundproof pods, meaning their opponents can’t hear their game strategy or how many answers they might know.
The team with the highest bid gets to play the list. If they successfully name the required number of correct answers, they win. The first team to win two lists gets to play for €15,000. This time, every correct answer on the list is a step up the money ladder to that top cash prize. As the champions progress, they can bank their money or keep going, but one wrong answer will lose them everything. And as champions on The Money List, if they keep on winning, they can keep on earning until another team of contestants knocks them out. Can perfect strangers become a winning partnership and bank the big bucks? Find out on The Money List.
