ABC is debuting the primetime version of the game show The Chase tonight (January 7) and what you might not know is that this show has been around for years!
The Chase, which is an adaptation of a British quiz show, premiered on Game Show Network back in 2013.

In the ABC primetime version of The Chase, Jeopardy‘s James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, and Brad Rutter take turns serving as the Chaser while The View‘s Sara Haines is the host.
