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.
