- Win Ben Stein's Money is an American television game show that ran from July 28, 1997 to January 31, 2003 on the Comedy Central cable network with unaired episodes and reruns airing until May 8, 2003. It featured three contestants who competed in a general knowledge quiz contest to win the grand prize of $5,000 from the show's host, Ben Stein. The hook of the show was that Stein in the second half of the show would participate as a "common contestant" in order to defend his money from being taken by his competitors. The show, which won six Daytime Emmy awards, was notable for its combination of serious quiz questions with a playful, irreverent tone and often risqué humor. As noted in a disclaimer during the closing credits, prize money won by contestants was actually paid from a prize budget furnished by the producers of the show. Any money left over in that budget at the end of a season was given to Stein. If the total amount paid out during a season exceeded that budget, the production company would pay the excess, so Stein was never at any risk of losing money out of pocket. Stein was also paid a standard salary as host which was not affected by his game play, so he customarily donated his prize money to charity (not mentioned on the show). Stein always had a co-host to exchange jokes with and to ask some of the questions in the game. Jimmy Kimmel was the co-host for the first three years of the show's run, but he left in 2000 (though he did make occasional guest appearances after that). Nancy Pimental replaced Kimmel and co-hosted the show through 2001. Kimmel's cousin, Sal Iacono, who took over the role in 2002, was the show's last co-host.
