Syfy Wire’s The Great Debate Preview
In the description for The Great Debate, Syfy promises that “only one nerd can reign supreme” when a “rotating panel of your favorite celebrities unleash their inner-geek and go head-to-head to hash out fandom’s burning questions like: Who’d be a worse boss, Darth Vader or the Joker? What is THE best movie snack? What would a therapy session with Super Mario look like?”
Hosted by comedian Baron Vaughn, the show is based on the highly successful debating events held at Comic-Con. Vaughn is joined by a wisecracking droid sidekick, DB-8, as they fan the flames, keep the peace and help some of the funniest minds in geekdom debate the hottest topics in sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comics, and more.
The “ever-morphing panel of passionate nerd ambassadors – ready to defend their own personal Geekdom truth” include Mayim Bialik, Steelo Brim, Colton Dunn, Open Mike Eagle, Dani Fernandez, Maude Garrett, Brea Grant, Akilah Hughes, Orlando Jones, Matt Kirshen, Lauren Lapkus, Mike Lawrence, Yassir Lester, Amber Nash, Ify Nwadiwe, Brian Posehn, Jonah Ray, Adam Savage, Aisha Tyler, Janet Varney, Reggie Watts, and the Cast of Critical Role – Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Sam Riegel, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham.
At the end of every episode, Vaughn and DB-8 will make the final verdict on which geek reigns supreme.
In the preview videos, Tyler and Savage argue about zombies. Tyler says zombies “are the most terrifying monster ever created,” while Savage says that “zombies are simply a projection of our desire to shoot our neighbors.”
Syfy Wire’s The Great Debate airs Thursdays at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Syfy.
