The Worl Series of Pop Culture is a VH1 game show tournament program sponsored by Alltel Wireless, based on Entertainment Weekly's Pop Culture Quiz. Sixteen teams, comprising three people each, compete in a tournament to determine which team, collectively, knows the most about elements of popular culture. Taping took place in New York City from April 29 - April 30, 2006 at the Ziegfeld Theater (a movie theater named in homage of the former Ziegfeld Theatre). A wide range of topics are covered such as movies, music, TV and other miscellaneous pop culture. The top prize is $250,000. The show began on July 10, 2006, and the finale for the initial tournament aired on Thursday, August 3, 2006. The hosts were Pat Kiernan and Lisa Guerrero.
