The show was designed as a companion series for the channel's recently acquired program, The Big Bang Theory. After finding ratings success with its syndicated reruns, TBS green-lit King of the Nerds in March 2012, its first unscripted competition series in seven years. According to Armstrong, networks felt that having "two nerd shows would be a drag on the market." After roughly six years passed, Armstrong and Carradine decided to pitch the show again, and were met with more immediate responses. However, the idea gained little traction at the time, owing to the then-running reality television program Beauty and the Geek. The concept for a reality television show based on Revenge of the Nerds was originally pitched by Curtis Armstrong and Robert Carradine in the mid-2000s. However, in response to controversy over the use of what fans deem to be a "popularity contest", the winners from the second season onward were determined through challenges rather than a jury vote (with eliminated players supporting their chosen finalist in the final challenge). In the first season, the eliminated competitors returned as a jury to vote for the winner of the competition. The series has used different finale formats over its first two seasons.
Upon reaching the penultimate episode, the teams are officially disbanded. The loser of the Nerd-Off is eliminated from the competition. Two players from the losing team are then selected to compete in a head-to-head elimination challenge called the "Nerd-Off" one player is selected by vote from the losing team, while the other is selected by vote from the winning team. The winners of the Nerd War are granted immunity from elimination and typically receive a reward for their victory. In each episode, the contestants compete in a team challenge called the "Nerd War". The contestants are initially separated into two teams. The show uses a progressive elimination format. King of the Nerds follows contestants as they compete in a series of intellectual challenges to win a $100,000 prize. Following a three-season run, the series was cancelled by TBS. The show features nerds and geeks with diverse backgrounds and interests competing in various challenges for a cash prize of US$100,000 and the title of "King of the Nerds". The series premiered on January 17, 2013, on TBS. The show is hosted by actors and executive producers Robert Carradine and Curtis Armstrong, known for their roles as Lewis Skolnick and Dudley "Booger" Dawson, respectively, in Revenge of the Nerds. It was inspired by the Revenge of the Nerds films. King of the Nerds is an American reality competition series co-produced by Electus and 5x5 Media.
