Zachary Levi sure is keeping busy! Syfy announced today that Zac will\u00a0executive-produce and host a new game show for the network called\u00a0Geeks Who Drink<\/strong>\u00a0through his company, The Nerd Machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The weekly series is based on the pub trivia contest of the same name, which has become a nationwide phenomenon with more than 25,000 people participating in over 600 bars across 35 states.<\/p>\n

In each episode,\u00a0two teams of self-proclaimed \u201ctrivia geeks\u201d battle it out in rapid-fire quizzes that cover topics from pop culture to science fiction.\u00a0 Each team consists of three players \u2013 a celebrity team captain and two trivia pros.\u00a0 After three rounds of competition, the winning team will earn bragging rights, a spot on the Geeks Who Drink<\/strong> leaderboard and a bevy of prizes to geek out over.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be the executive producer and host of\u00a0Geeks Who Drink<\/strong>\u00a0is an exciting opportunity to broaden my experience on both sides of the camera,\u201d Levi says.\u00a0\u201cGeeks Who Drink<\/strong>\u00a0is such a fresh take on the game show genre, and something that we at The Nerd Machine believe will resonate with everyone who loves trivia and pop culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geeks Who Drink<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>premieres Thursday, July 16 on Syfy. We’ll also be seeing Zac in the upcoming Heroes Reborn<\/strong> and, we assume, at Nerd HQ in San Diego the first week of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
