Horror icon Bruce Campbell is hosting the new game show Last Fan Standing on the digital streaming service, Digital Network CONtv. In addition to hosting Campbell is producing the show, created in a partnership with Pop Quiz Entertainment.

The show will be filmed live at comic conventions nationwide, with the first show taped Saturday, January 10, 2015 at Wizard World New Orleans. Con attendees will engage in activities, competing for cash and prizes, then the top four players will compete for the title of “Last Fan Standing.” Fans will answer questions and discuss topics like: how much Thor’s hammer weighs or how much damage the Vorpal blade would inflict on a 5th-Level Cleric? Fans can test their knowledge on comics, movies, and more with host and horror icon Bruce Campbell on this quiz show. Please don't let one of the questions be "what is the combination to the safe in Capt. Kirk's quarters?"

The show will launch next month on CONtv, marking Campbell’s first digital series. The joint venture comes from independent content distributor Cinedigm and Wizard World. It will be a collaboration between Campbell’s production company and Pop Quiz Entertainment.
