International versions of The Weakest Link

Weakest Link is a television game show which first appeared in the UK on BBC 2 on 14 August 2000 and ended on 31 March 2012 when its host Anne Robinson ended her contract. The original British version of the show is still aired around the world on BBC Entertainment.

The format has been licensed across the world, with many countries producing their own series of the programme. As with the original British version, all of the hosts wear black clothing (or sometimes dark colours with black). Most versions also have disciplinarian female hosts, again similar to the British original—with exceptions being Fausto Silva (Brazil),Tasos Tryfonos (Cyprus), Julien Courbet (2014 France), Riku Nieminen (Finland), Eamon Dunphy (Ireland), Edu Manzano, Allan K. (both Philippines),, Shiro Ito (Japan), Pedro Granger (Portugal), Enrico Papi (Italy), Tseng Yang Qing (Taiwan), Baybars Altuntaş (Turkey) and George Gray (United States). Gray and Courbet are comedians, and those versions were designed to play off comedy.
