Pitting brains against balls, while combining a high-stakes quiz show with a large-scale physical competition, each episode of <em>The Quiz with Balls<\/em> features two families competing for $100,000 in a &#8220;battle of the balls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Standing on a high platform over a glistening pool, they must all work together as they face a multiple-choice quiz where each answer is allocated to a spot with a giant ball positioned up behind it. If the correct answer is chosen, the ball rolls down and stops just before colliding with the player&#8230; if the answer is wrong, the massive ball rapidly descends and mercilessly whacks them into the pool below. The more players each team loses, the harder the questions get. The longer they last, the more money they bank, until one &#8220;dry&#8221; family member plays the final round for <em>The Quiz with Balls<\/em>&#8216; $100,000 Grand Prize. The all-new series, executive produced by Talpa Studios and Eureka Productions, is set to premiere this Summer on FOX.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4089202308\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Playful, quick-witted, and high-energy, Jay&#8217;s going to make a huge splash as our host of <em>The Quiz with Balls<\/em>,&#8221; said Allison Wallach, FOX Entertainment&#8217;s President of Unscripted Programming. &#8220;No matter the stage or show, Jay&#8217;s singular brand of humor and comedic timing elevates everything he does.
