Ok, this game show is great.
We start out with five people and ten trivia questions. The group answers the questions together and receives $10k for each correct answer.
The Hustler is one of the players who is actually playing against the other four. There are two points where the Hustler can eliminate a player. Everybody checks off a name on a piece of paper in an envelope, but only the Hustler's vote counts.
Before each trivia question we are given a clue about who the hustler is (e.g. they raise chickens) and then the trivia question will relate to this. The Hustler knows all of the right answers.
The final question doubles the pot if they get it right or halves it if they get it wrong and we find ourselves with three people.
At this point the three people vote for who they believe is the Hustler. If the Hustler is not eliminated, they win the full pot (a max of $180k), if the Hustler is chosen, then the two players split the pot.
Craig Ferguson is hosting --- and the show is super fun and stupid... but definitely fun. Its heartbreaking to see someone change their vote away from the Hustler at the last minute, giving up the pot.
There are only eight episodes and its a great passive watch, unless you really want to sort out who the Hustler is yourself.
I love that video so much. The last part got me thinking of that, I think the only way for it to work is if the non-Hustlers propose a three-way split after the show like Golden Balls and get the...
I love that video so much. The last part got me thinking of that, I think the only way for it to work is if the non-Hustlers propose a three-way split after the show like Golden Balls and get the Hustler to out themselves... which is still a leap of faith. I was looking up three way game theory, but I still don't see a way for a guaranteed win for anyone.

Scoop some episodes!
I wonder if the contestants could meta-game this, reminds me of this episode of Golden Balls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0qjK3TWZE8
