Oblivious

Using hidden camera field segments, unsuspecting people are stealthily quizzed by Regan Burns, our well-disguised host, where they least suspect it: in a cab, at the hairdresser, in the bank, on the street, at a restaurant, or in a bar. Burns would take a camera crew with him and ask unsuspecting people trivia questions, while playing some sort of role. The person being asked the questions didn't know they were on TV until after Burns finished asking the questions, but usually he would do one final bit in his role before revealing the truth. For every question the contestant got correct, they received $20 in cash. Five questions usually were asked per person, for a possible $100.
