'The Hustler' Season 2: Air time and how to live stream ABC game show

'The Hustler' Season 2 is hosted by Scottish actor Craig Ferguson. Here's all you need to know about the ABC game show

A game show where one of the contestants already knows the answers may not sound fair, but that's the twist on ABC's game show 'Hustler'. The new season of 'Hustler' returns with five new competitors, joining host Craig Ferguson on this mind-bending show. 'Hustler' is part of ABC's already extensive line-up of game shows and while one 'hustler' may know the answers already, a win is by no means guaranteed.

The show is hosted by Scottish actor Craig Ferguson. In the latest season, Lady Gaga and the television show 'Sopranos' will serve as important clues for discovering 'The Hustler'.

One of the five contestants, the Hustler, already knows the answers but must keep their identity a secret in order to have a shot at winning the grand prize. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler, leaving three remaining contestants - the Hustler and two others, who must collectively decide who they think the Hustler is. If they are right, they share the prize pot that could be worth over $100,000. If the two contestants are wrong, the Hustler goes home with the full cash reward.

Trailer

The trailer of 'The Hustler' has Craig Ferguson reading out the definition of a hustler, saying that a hustler is one who obtains money by fraud or deceit, but on the show, they just call them contestants. With one of the contestants labeling someone a sociopath in the trailer, it seems that there are plenty of mind games in store.
