GSN to Revive 'Minute to Win It'

Ohno will take over hosting duties from Guy Fieri, who led the NBC version from March 2010 to September 2011.

In February, GSN announced that it had given a 40-episode order with production beginning in March for a late 2013 launch. Episodes will be produced by Shine America, based on the format owned by sister company Friday TV.

In each episode, competitors, using everyday items, face 10 challenges that rise in difficulty. Each game has a one-minute time limit.

Ohno, a two-time Olympic gold medalist who competed on two seasons of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, is repped by Lee Kernis of Brillstein Entertainment and Octagon.
