BURBANK – February 4, 2008 –
NBC will debut the new high-energy competition series "My Dad Is
Better Than Your Dad" on Monday, February 18 from 9-10 p.m. ET rather
than 8-9 p.m. ET as previously announced. The initial installment will now
follow an original "Deal or No Deal." Following the premiere,
the show will then shift into its regular 8-9 p.m. time period on Monday
nights beginning February 25.
"My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad" is a high-energy,
family-friendly competition series hosted by Dan Cortese ("MTV
Sports," "What I Like About You"). The show will finally
prove the familiar schoolyard boast -- "My dad is better than your
dad!" Dads and their respective son or daughter will be at the
forefront of the action leading them in exciting larger-than-life
challenges testing dad's strength, smarts and how well he works together
with his son or daughter. Ultimately, the triumphant dad will strut away
with money for his child's future and the all-important bragging rights.
"My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad" was created by Jon Hotchkiss
and is a production of Reveille, Mark Burnett Productions and Hotchkiss
Industries. Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "Are You Smarter Than
A Fifth Grader?," "Celebrity Apprentice"), Mark Koops
("The Biggest Loser"), Howard T. Owens ("The Biggest
Loser"), Mike Nichols ("Victoria Beckham: Coming to
America") and Jon Hotchkiss ("Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t!")
are the executive producers.
