Dante's Inferno
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Three contestants are summoned through the gates of hell onto Dante's Inferno, a garish game show hosted by the tuxedoed Bill Dante with costumed demons standing by. In the opening round each player names the sin they would commit to win a trash-compactor stereo, and Linda's brazen confession earns the prize, a Hawaiian holiday and an early exit. The other two are marched to the den of demons, where a wrong guess about their friends' accounts of their worst deeds costs them flesh: Holly wins all of her neighbours' possessions by admitting she covets everything, while Leon misjudges his own misdeed and is condemned to a week in the flaming pit before he can try again next week.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Remember, the biggest sin takes the prize.
For every wrong answer, a demon will rend a bit of your flesh.
I covet, Bill. I covet everything I see.
