THE GREAT DEBATE Looks to Be a Fun Show for Geeks and Nerds to Enjoy Next Month

SYFY Wire is launching a new late-night show next month called The Great Debate. This show will feature celebrities going toe-to-toe as their geekdom is challenged. Baron Vaughn will serve as host for The Great Debate and based on the trailer below, it’s going to be a really fun show.

Transformed from the stage for the SYFY screen, the half-hour, late-night series features a rotating group of nerd-tastic, nostalgia loving celebrities who go head-to-head each week to hash out fandom’s burning questions. These notable genre enthusiasts show off their comedic improv chops, don their best geekdom cosplay and debate the hottest questions in the galaxy such as: 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? And many more!
