If a contestant is unable to provide a correct answer, he seems all too excited to shout "[[SuddenlyShouting A WRONG ON THE BOARD]]!" and lead the audience into chanting the CatchPhrase above.

The series premiered on May 20, 2015 as part of a seven-episode, nine-day "event". It was originally meant to be nine episodes, but this was changed later on to air repeats on May 24-25 (Friday and Saturday) with two episodes being two-hour "doubles". The first season's ratings were good enough for ABC to give it a second season, which began with a two-hour episode [[note]](and slightly tweaked rules, see below for details)[[/note]] on May 26, 2016.

* GoneHorriblyRight: According to a now-deleted Twitter conversation shortly after Season 1 involving one of the show's question writers and a "beastly" regular on [[Series/TheChaseGameShow another show]], the producers expected a higher turnover rate from their contestants (evidently ignoring the fact they'd deliberately sought out trivia experts for the game, something typically not done by primetime network game shows in the States). On a more practical note, this also meant they had to pay out more prize money than planned (per said writer, the show didn't have much of a budget to begin with), and the producers were pretty pissed off about that.
** These facts have led to some noting that while "big money" doesn't in itself make a show, trivia experts had to work more for less money compared to the usual contestants of shows by, for example, Endemol's US branch.
