User:Daniel Benfield/Weakest Link NBC Video Archive

NBC Primetime: April 16, 2001 - July 14, 2002

The NBC version of The Weakest Link was an import of the British series also hosted by Anne Robinson. From what I've read, Randy West was the warmup guy for this show and had a herculean task doing so.

Big thanks to Rob Homa and [ Chris Lambert] for much of the below placement.
