Contestants are asked to answer ten questions correctly in order to earn the top prize. If they answer incorrectly, the contestants have a chance to be saved by the five kids who have been asked the same question by Gervais. A premiere date has not yet been announced. Production begins in L.A. next week.<\/p>\n<p>Savage commented, &#8220;When I&#8217;m stumped, I turn to Google and my kids. I had no idea there was a television show in that, but now that there is, I&#8217;m thrilled to be a part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fred Savage has had a significant cultural impact on television throughout his career and we are thrilled to have him be our host,&#8221; said Robert Mills, the senior VP of alternative series, specials and late night programming at ABC Entertainment. &#8220;With Fred&#8217;s charisma and Ricky Gervais&#8217;s hilarious interactions with the kids, <em>Child Support<\/em> is going to be a terrific addition to our game show slate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>David Goldberg, Banijay Group\u2019s president and CEO of Banijay Studios North America, remarked, &#8220;Fred Savage rose to fame playing a kid on one of television&#8217;s most beloved shows. Now a trusted and iconic personality, he is the perfect host to guide a group of contestants seeking to win a large cash prize with support from a group of children. Fred&#8217;s talents are sure to be a great addition to a show already featuring comedic mastermind Ricky Gervais, whose brand of comedy is as unpredictable as the spunky kids he&#8217;s trying to wrangle.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BURBANK: Fred Savage has signed on to host the new game show series Child Support from Ricky Gervais and Banijay Studios North America that is set for ABC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[479,340,886,887,888],"class_list":["post-5435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-abc","tag-banijay-studios-north-america","tag-child-support","tag-fred-savage","tag-ricky-gervais","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fred Savage to Host Ricky Gervais Game Show - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fred Savage to Host Ricky Gervais Game Show - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BURBANK: Fred Savage has signed on to host the new game show series Child Support from Ricky Gervais and Banijay Studios North America that is set for ABC.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-03-09T16:30:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/\",\"name\":\"Fred Savage to Host Ricky Gervais Game Show - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-03-09T16:30:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-03-09T16:30:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fred-savage-to-host-ricky-gervais-game-show\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Fred Savage to Host Ricky Gervais Game Show\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
