Stump the Schwab is an American game show that aired on ESPN2 and ESPN Classic from July 8, 2004 to September 29, 2006. The show featured three contestants trying to defeat Howie Schwab, ESPN's first statistician, in a sports trivia contest. Stuart Scott was the show's host. The show also appeared on Canada's The Score Television Network. Each episode of the show had three rounds, "Leading Off", a second round that featured a different game each time, and "The Schwab Showdown." After each of the first two rounds, the contestant with the lowest score was eliminated. Gameplay Three male contestants competed against "The Schwab" in a series of three rounds, with the lowest-scoring player being eliminated after each round. Round 1: Leading Off Each episode began with "Leading Off", a round where the 3 contestants and "The Schwab" took turns naming an athlete or team on a list relating to a major achievement; for example, "In the year 1975, name the top 16 players that led the National League in home runs that year." This round consisted of three such lists, and each contestant was given a turn to begin a list. During the first two seasons, the full list was displayed on screen for the home viewers, with each person who had not been named displayed in white letters, and each person correctly named having their names displayed in blue letters. Starting in the third season, answers were shown only as they were given by players, allowing home viewers to "play along." At the end of the question, all answers were shown. Each correct answer was worth one point. If a contestant or "The Schwab" gave a wrong answer, could not come up with an answer in time, or provided an answer that was already given, he was eliminated for the rest of the topic with the spotlight shining over him darkened. If there was only one player (including "The Schwab") left, that player scored only one additional point by giving another correct answer. Whoever had the lowest score at the end of "Leading Off" was eliminated from the show, while the remaining two contestants went on to face each other in Round Two. Round 2 A variety of different games were used for round two in each episode. "The Schwab" did not compete against the contestants in that round, but did ask some questions to the contestants, and
