Official: Ryan Seacrest To Host NBC’s Million Second Quiz

Ryan Seacrest has inked a deal to host another broadcast reality show, this time for NBC.

According to THR, the show, Million Second Quiz, is billed as a 24-hour live competition series, for which Seacrest also will serve as an executive producer. In signing on, Seacrest, who also emcees Fox's American Idol and ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve special, will become the face of major unscripted franchise at three of the four big broadcast networks.

Taking place over 12 days and nights, Quiz will see contestants battling one another as they test the limits of their knowledge, endurance and will to win. Catering to Seacrest's strengths as a live broadcaster, NBC will broadcast the interactive show in primetime live from an hourglass-shaped structure in Manhattan -- which also will serve as the living quarters for the players -- instead of the typical studio setting.

And unlike other competition shows, players have to play Million Second Quiz 24 hours a day in order to avoid getting eliminated. As the 1 million seconds run out, champions will then duke it out, and an eventual winner will take home as much as $10 million.
