Comedian Greg Fitzsimmons has been tapped to host SPEED’s new half-hour game show, Pumped! The new series premieres with back-to-back episodes on November 17 starting at 9pm ET/6pm PT.
Fitzsimmons positions himself at undisclosed Sunoco gas stations in and around some of America’s busiest intersections, ‘ambushing’ unsuspecting patrons for a chance to win up to $1,800 in cash (including $50 Sunoco gift cards) upon successfully answering a series of trivia questions.
“I’m just a guy who’s coming up to them and trying to have some fun,” Fitzsimmons said. “I’m not putting pressure on them to play the game. Not trying to tell a bunch of funny jokes, I’m trying to bring out what’s fun in an already funny situation.
Fitzsimmons has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman, and Chelsea Lately. He also hosts The Greg Fitzsimmons Show on SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Howard 101, along with his weekly Fitzdog Radio podcast at www.gregfitzsimmons.com.
