The rebooted Wipeout debuted on April 1, 2021. The show currently airs on truTV as part of their late-night lineup its sister channel TBS later announced that it was reviving the series, and named John Cena as host on September 10, 2020.

Or the futuristic racing game series seemingly, this Wipeout also has several video games of its own. Not to be confused with the 1988-89 game show of the same name there was also a UK version that ran for much longer than the US version (which is why the UK version had Total added to the name). The original American version also aired in the UK under the title Total Wipeout USA.

Inspired by crazy Japanese stunt game shows like Takeshi's Castle (although older viewers may also find it not dissimilar to Jeux sans frontières).Ī British version, titled Total Wipeout and hosted by Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram, was produced by The BBC and ran for 5 series and one Christmas themed series titled Winter Wipeout. The last contestant standing wins $50,000. Wipeout is an American Game Show on ABC in which 24 contestants compete in a series of events seemingly designed to humiliate and otherwise annoy them.
