Split Second

Split Second is an American television game show that originally aired on ABC from March 1972 to June 1975, hosted by Tom Kennedy. The series returned in syndication from December 1986 to September 1987, with producer Monty Hall taking over as host when production relocated to Toronto. Created and produced by Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall, the show challenged contestants to answer rapid-fire questions and make quick decisions under pressure. The format tested both knowledge and instinct, rewarding players who could think fast and act faster. Split Second became a fixture of American game show television across two distinct eras, appealing to audiences who enjoyed fast-paced competition and the thrill of split-second decision-making.
