On the Spot is an American weekly syndicated television series that debuted in September 2011. The series is produced and distributed by Bellum Entertainment Group.
On the Spot is a weekly syndicated trivia show that asks entertaining questions from different categories including untold history, globetrotting, origins, supernatural, in sickness and in health, myths, now and then, record setters, mad science and bad ideas. Example questions include:
Can a cow have an accent?
What came first, the color orange or the fruit?
As a kid, did Napoleon hate the French?
Was the name Google an accident?
Who got the world's longest standing ovation?
The show first aired nationally on September 18, 2011. The first 13 episodes were hosted by Eric Schwartz and included man-on-the-street segments where everyday people were asked the trivia questions (and many got the answers wrong), which led to each question being answered and explained. Later episodes had only unseen narrator Pete Sepenuk.
On The Spot premiered its first season in 2011 and aired across 90% of the United States.
The second season of On The Spot debuted September 16, 2012 and is currently airing across 91% of the United States.
