BASKETBALL NECK SHOOTER, EGG SKIER AND CHAINSAW BOTTLE OPENER, ON ABC'S "WANNA BET?"

"Episode 105" � "Wanna Bet?" is a weekly, one-hour primetime event in which celebrities have the chance to earn big money for the charity of their choice by betting on the success or failure of the wildest stunts, tricks and mental challenges that ordinary Americans � housewives, truck drivers, dentists, kids � can dream up and perform in front of a studio audience. "Wanna Bet?" airs TUESDAY, AUGUST 26 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Hosted by British comedy sensations Ant and Dec, "Wanna Bet?" features celebrity contestants/judges. Sherri Shepherd (ABC's "The View"), Scott Hamilton, Bill Engvall and Stuart Scott are this week's celebrity panel.

Attempted stunts include: a man shooting baskets from the back of his neck without the ball hitting the ground, a teenager naming 10 out of 10 audience members after meeting them only once; a man skiing over hundreds of raw eggs without breaking one, and a chainsaw-wielding man opening 50 soda bottles.

"Wanna Bet?" executive producers are Phil Gurin ("The Singing Bee," "The Weakest Link," "Miss Universe) and Marc Jansen ("Lingo"). The show is produced by The Gurin Company.

"Wanna Bet?" is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. This program carries a TV-PG,D parental guideline.
