Description

Child Support is a studio-based game show featuring adult contestants and priceless interactions between funny man Ricky Gervais and a group of five kids (ages 6-9 years old) who say the most unpredictable things.

Hosted by Fred Savage, contestants must answer 10 open-ended questions correctly to earn the top prize. If they answer correctly, they move up the money ladder. If they answer incorrectly, the contestants have a chance to be saved by the five kids who have been asked the same question by Gervais. If the children also get the answer wrong, the contestant leaves the game empty-handed. But if any of the five kids get the answer correct, the contestant has been saved, and they continue on.
