Separation Anxiety

Storyline

"Separation Anxiety" takes the traditional game show model and spins it into an unpredictable, irreverent update. Hosted by comic Iliza Shlesinger, the relationship-based show features a unique twist that isn't revealed to contestants until after they've played. Two-person teams are "separated" to create maximum anxiety, with one member told that questions are worth less than $5,000, while the other player knows that the stakes in the all-or-nothing format are much higher. Shlesinger's career took off after she won Season 6 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing." She's the only female and youngest contestant to hold the title.
