Wipeout is an American game show series in which contestants compete in what is billed as the "world's largest obstacle course". The series premiered on June 24, 2008 on ABC. Wipeout is hosted (and commentated) by John Henson (formerly of E! Entertainment's Talk Soup) and John Anderson (ESPN's SportsCenter). Jill Wagner co-hosts, and acts as the "on-location" presenter (Henson and Anderson presenting from a broadcast booth inside a studio). The executive producers are Matt Kunitz (Fear Factor) and Scott Larsen, and the co-executive producers are Trice Barto, Shye Sutherland, J. Rupert Thompson and Kevin Wehrenberg. Distribution of the show is handled by Endemol USA.The show is taped at a ranch in Canyon Country, Santa Clarita, California. However, due to ABC's policy of not revealing where its reality shows are taped, the location is never mentioned in the program itself; by contrast, the British version makes a point of talking about the show's Argentine connections (where all other editions of Wipeout are taped except for the US version). On July 22, 2009, Wipeout was renewed for a third season. A new set was erected in August 2009 & filming began in September 2009.
On January 11, 2010, after more than a month of fan voting, Entertainment Weekly crowned "Wipeout" the winner of the Guilty Pleasures Reality TV Showdown.
In February 2010, Wipeout was nominated for the 2010 Kids Choice Awards for favorite reality series.
On March 18, 2010, Activision announced the show would be made into a video game titled Wipeout: The Game, set to be released along with the show's third season. The game was released on the Nintendo Wii & Nintendo DS. On April 7, 2010, they released a trailer for the game on their Facebook page, along with a confirmed release date of June 22, 2010.
