CBS has greenlighted "Money Pump", a game show pilot based on an Israeli format. Hosted by Kevin Frazier, "Money Pump" is described as a high-pressure game in which contestants compete against an enormous money pump for a million dollars.
ITV Studios America and Israeli company Reshet TV are producing, with Andrew Golder executive producing. The original series was created by Gili Golan, Adi Golan and Harel Joseffson for Tanin Prods & TV and Reshet TV.
Israeli formats already are increasingly popular in the US on the scripted side, with such shows as Showtime’s "Homeland". Unscripted Israeli shows have started to follow, with "Who’s Still Standing" going to series on NBC.
