A Canadian version of the hit TV show is already in the works. Global Television will be airing the show this fall. A five city casting tour will take place in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Halifax for the panelists. Five episodes are scheduled to be taped right here in Toronto in October. With a grand prize of $1,000,000 the competition will no doubt be fierce.

 If you have not seen the show currently airing on American television, the premise is simple. Adult contestants are asked questions that are taken from school materials that are approximately at the 5th grade level. The adults are joined by actual 5th graders and they can turn to the 5th graders for help in answering the questions. The contestant receives 10 subject cards. Each correct answer moves them higher up the ladder in terms of dollar value. Once all 10 of the questions have been answered correctly the contestant is given the opportunity to answer the 11th question. The correct answer brings with it the million dollar prize.
