The CNN Challenge Jumps From the Web to TV

When CNN relaunched CNN.com last October, one of its new features was a weekly game called The CNN Challenge. The premise: let a CNN anchor guide you through questions from the week’s news. It even sold advertising around it, with Ford on board as the launch sponsor.

Now, in what may be a first for cable news, the online game has jumped to television. On Friday’s edition of “AC360,” which featured a live studio audience, Anderson Cooper did his best Alex Trebek impersonation, and had his three guests Mary Matalin, Donna Brazile and John Leguizamo compete in a live version of the CNN Challenge.
