Every parent thinks they know their baby well, but are they willing to bet on it? “Bet On Your Baby” will reveal the answer to that question each week in an hour-long program featuring five families with toddlers between the ages of two years old and three and a half years old. Each family will play a self-contained, individual challenge against the house – meaning they’re only competing against themselves, and not against other babies. At the end of the show, the five families return to play the college round for the chance to win $50,000
ABC has ordered eight episodes of the series, with additional creative and prizing details to be revealed at a later date. “I’m very excited to be hosting ‘Bet On Your Baby’. The concept of the show just appealed to me on many levels because as a mom I liked the fact that the kids are having fun and being themselves, it’s the parents playing the game. As someone who likes funny, there is no one more naturally hilarious and fun to watch than a toddler,” said Melissa Peterman
“We are excited to partner with ABC on ‘Bet On Your Baby’ as it is a unique look into the world of parenting set alongside a game show that allows the audience to catch a glimpse inside the lives of young families in such a fresh, new way,” said Chris Grant
“We’re so excited about giving parents the opportunity to laugh and have fun with their children, while at the same time having a real chance to win something as big and meaningful as money towards a college education,” said Executive Producer Craig Armstong of 5×5 Media. “Bet On Your Baby” was created by 5×5 Media’s Craig Armstrong
