Brian Washington This had to have been one of the funniest game shows of it's era. Ben Stein has to be one of the sharpest and funniest individuals to host a game show and during the era when Jimmy Kimmel was his co-host it was a classic. Unfortunately, after Kimmel departed the show the show went downhill from there. Nancy Pimental and Sal Iaconno didn't have the chemistry that Stein and Kimmel had and what a shame because this show was definitely the best thing that Comedy Central had on it's schedule.

marileec I love this show. I'm usually not one for game shows, as they are usually very bland and boring. However, Stein's show is fantastic. It's funny, smart, and fun to play along with, even if I don't know most of the answers to the questions. Also, it's not a show where the prize is a couple million dollars or something ... and I like that. I like that it's a show to be fun, and not to win huge bucks. Also, if you win, why would you care about the money, anyway? You'd be happy to have just beat Ben Stein at his own game! Good work Ben!

jaws! this show is very good, and funny. it's not a roll on floor can't stop laughing show, but it's fun, silly, and funny. the questions are real hard up until the last 10 questions to win the big money. i usually get a lot of the last 10 questions right, but the questions before are real hard to me. all in all it's just a really fun show. on a scale of 1 to 10 i give win ben stein's money an 8.

sgauss Win Ben Stein's Money is a game show that requires some brains (unlike Wheel of Fortune) but is funny and doesn't take itself as seriously as Jeopardy. The show is hosted by Ben Stein, who is probably most famous for his appearances as a teacher in "The Wonder Years" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", along with Jimmy Kimmel as the smart-ass side-kick.There is a lot of shtick, and good interplay between Stein and Kimmel that gives the show both humor and likeability. Kimmel is funny and rude, but occasionally crosses the line to gross or mean. Special theme episodes are occasionally shown, such as a recent cross-dressing episode. Another fun bit, is that if a contestant answers in the form of question, ala Jeopardy, they are forced to wear a dunce cap.The premise of the show is that Stein has put up $5,000, which he will try to keep the contestants from winning. The exact financial details might vary somewhat - fine print at the end of the show hints at this. Stein competes against the contestants, usually successfully.The show starts with 3 contestants, who choose from five categories, with various joke/scatological titles. Questions are assigned a dollar value for correct answers, and in the first round have a $50 follow-up. At the end of the first round, the contestant with the lowest winnings is dropped, and replaced by Ben Stein. At the end of the second round, the contestant with the highest winnings is selected to go on to the "Best of Ten Test of Knowledge", a one-on-one contest directly against Stein. The constestant and Stein are locked in isolation booths (one of the jokes is that the contestant's booth has a bare lightbulb, steel stool, and cracked plaster, while Stein sits in a booth with paneling, and an overstuffed chair). The contestant and Stein are given the same ten questions, and if the contestant beats Stein is given all $5000 dollars put up by Stein.The show airs on Comedy Central, Monday-Friday, twice in the evening.
