1999 game show?


I'm trying to remember a game show that I saw in 1999. It may have aired on VH-1. I might be mixing memories from more than one game show. I think it was a trivia game show with questions about music and musicians. I remember one part where you had to guess the singer from a photograph but they slowly revealed small sections of the photo. The quicker you are able to guess correctly, the more points or money you would earn. I think at one point you were put in a chair like a dentists chair and you had to answer questions while something is happening to distract you or scare you, making it difficult to answer correctly.

It sounds a bit like MTV's Turn It Up!, but that was from 1990. It's possible VH-1 re-ran it later.

It's the subject of this video. Does any of this look familiar?

Thanks for the suggestion but it's not the one I'm looking for.

Assuming that you are in the USA, here is a list of shows you might be able to find it in.

Thanks for sharing the list. I actually went through the list before I posted here. I tried to find clips of any that sounded promising but came up empty.

Oh well. Was worth a try.

All I can think of was a show from the 2000s where people would sit on a chair and answer questions and if their heart rate went too high they lost.

It was called "The Chair" and it was hosted by John McEnroe

Thanks for the suggestion but it wasn't The Chair. I definitely watched this in 1999 and The Chair didn't premiere until 2002.
