Beat the Genius was a panel quiz game show.
Gameplay[]
Host Baker would read a question, and the players had to buzz in. If he/she is right, he/she scored a point. If he/she waas wrong, however, the point was lost and the question was over. The first and fourth rounds were several minutes of general knowledge questions. The second round was pictures, while the third round were questions allegedly in the field of expertise of the Brain Trusters. The highest scorer in the Brain Trusters received a $50 savings bond, and if the team could beat the genius, they would each receive a $100 savings bond.
