Host Bob Saget poses questions to both a lone player and a mob of 100 opponents. Each correct answer from the player knocks out any mob members who got it wrong and increases the prize money. If he can eliminate the entire field of 100, he wins $1 million; otherwise, he can quit after any right answer or risk losing everything to the mob if he misses a question.

NBC Faces Reality of Strike with More Reality

As the WGA strike goes on  the AMPTP's latest offer was summarily scoffed at late Thursday, with talks not resuming until Tuesday  NBC has unveiled a schedule featuring at least six hours a week of unscripted fare.

The quiz show 1 vs. 100 returns Jan. 4, airing Fridays at 8, leaving Deal or No Deal with just its Wednesday berth. And The Biggest Loser, which wraps up its current cycle Dec. 18, sprints back to prime time on Jan. 1 with a fifth season featuring couples. Those air in two-hour batches Tuesdays at 8.NBC's previously announced that The Celebrity Apprentice premieres Jan. 3, airing Thursdays at 9.For ongoing WGA strike coverage, check TVGuide.com's Strike Watch blog.

Bob Saget's Penguins Are Black and White and Very Blue

Come on, admit it, we've all done it. While watching the hoity-toity March of the Penguins (a French documentary that was actually Americanized with Morgan Freeman as narrator), you have to wonder what's actually going on in the flightless fellas' heads. What must they be thinking making this endless, beyond-frigid trek, all in the name of mating, making and then guarding an egg, and then, after much waiting, getting some lousy fish for their effort? God bless Bob Saget, he of the seemingly bipolar "family friendly/potty-mouthed" on-stage persona, for addressing such questions with the R-rated, made-for-DVD Farce of the Penguins, featuring the voices of himself, Lewis Black,

1 vs 100's Bob Saget Reveals How He Got Game (Show)

Best known for benign turns on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos, Bob Saget shattered his wholesome image with extremely ribald appearances on HBO's Entourage and in the film The Aristocrats. The comic showed us a little bit of both personalities when he chatted about hosting NBC's 1 vs 100 (Fridays at 8 pm/ET), the latest game show from the Deal or No Deal folks. TV Guide: Why 1 vs 100? Saget: It's the most amazing thing ever made. [Laug
