The branch produces Endemol's popular worldwide formats for the major American TV networks, such as Fear Factor , Deal or No Deal and 1 Vs. 100 for NBC; Extreme Makeover: Home Edition , Show Me the Money , The One: Making a Music Star , Set for Life , and Wipeout for ABC; Exposed for MTV; Big Brother and Kid Nation for CBS ; Midnight Money Madness for TBS (under the moniker Lock and Key Productions) and most recently, a game show adaptation of 20Q for GSN. Their worst faring franchise by far is The One which was canceled after four episodes.[ when? ]Fear Factor was canceled after six seasons and was later revived for an additional season by NBC in 2011; a new version began airing on MTV in 2017. Another one of their shows, Big Brother has[ when? ] two seasons already out on DVD. While Big Brother has had the most international success to date,[ when? ] their most successful USA program could end up being either Deal or No Deal or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Both programs are wildly popular and highly rated.[ citation needed ]

Endemol USA created Midnight Money Madness for cable's TBS network, in which viewers can call in to play games and win money prizes. It is based on Endemol's successful Participation TV format. On 13 October 2006, Endemol USA launched another game show for NBC, 1 vs. 100 with Bob Saget, and debuted as another ratings winner. And on 14 November 2006, ABC premiered Show Me the Money, with William Shatner as its host.

[4] Endemol USA also produces the Style Network hour-long reality series Jerseylicious , which debuted in 2010.[ citation needed ]

This marked the first time that Endemol has acquired an American-produced scripted series. [5] Other scripted properties that Endemol also owns rights to include Happily Divorced and The Exes , also airing on TV Land.[ citation needed ]

In 2011, Endemol expanded its US production portfolio to include more non-reality fare, starting with The Steve Harvey Show , distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution. The hour-long talk/variety program premiered on 10 September 2012 in syndication, and ran for five seasons before being replaced by a similarly-titled show that is produced by IMG.
