Stump the Schwab (May 27, 2005) - Season 2 Championship!

I was going to upload a batch of season 3 Thom McKee TTDs, but I'm going to push that back in favor of a week of uploads where Black Lives Matter. Specifically, I'll be posting some (IMO) underrated game shows with black emcees.
This one takes a look at the ESPN show Stump the Schwab, a game of sports trivia hosted by the late Stuart Scott. This particular episode is the season finale where former contestants Adam, Nick, and Mike return hoping to take home $25,000 in the Schwab Showdown. Who will make it, and will they win out in the end?

RIP Schwab. This was my favorite show on ESPN growing up.

[@captainkirk197]

Can we remake this show. This is where I learned most of sports as a kid . RIP Stuart!

[@jamedlock83]

I learned by watching actual sports. .. . Schwab is reading from cue cards. . He ain't as smart as the show makes him out to be. I would beat his ass

[@captainkirk197]

@@jamedlock83 yes but this show kept me in check with the records and stats I would stomp Schwab too

[@raymondgallegos4537]

Y'all don't know!! Its tough to be an expert in any field!! But yes most tv is controlled and contrived to look or depict someone as different than the actual reality. I saw a special on him and he really is crazy with the sports knowledge. Y'all might be good but all Y'all Could Not Beat Al Bundy!!!

[@henneburymarc]

The Dozen!

[@joemcascio]

No. Schwab wouldn’t be walked out by hot women on today’s ESPN.

[@Wtnwdl]

Back when ESPN was fun, they had Karate programs, World Strongest, Texas Hold’em, Pool Championship, Shows like this, around the horn, pti, many others.

Now it’s the fight against racism, oppression and sexism….

RIP Howie Schwab and Stuart Scott Loved Stump the Schwab back in the day. Hugs and hand pounds(with the blow up!)

[@yaantsudnbesdai972]

ESPN used to put on so much more interesting programming than they do now. This is one of my all-time favorites: Stump the Schwab. Even being a life-long sports-fan, I was shocked at how much I didn't know and how much Schwab and other contestants know on this "jeopardy-esque" show...

[@Antbeast23]

Espn classic was such a good channel too

[@jacobrichardson1952]

​@@Antbeast23right?!?

[@sfcSpidey]

some of the stuff they know is just insane to me as someone who’s watched sports my whole life

[@timchmela8760]

RIP to Stuart and Schwab 😢

[@GLynnQuint]

Just saw this msg

[@williamrimberg8885]

I was friends and worked with the Schwab as a counselor at a sleep away camp Oxford-Guilford in upstate NY back in the early 80's and myself and our friends knew he was special with this shit and we used to play "Stump the Schwab" for free back than. Howie was amazing back in the day as none of us could stump him. So myself and my buddies take full credit for his success as we gave him all the practice and confidence he needed to become the sports trivia savant he eventually ended up becoming at ESPN...lol...;)

[@UNLTDvision]

This swagger of Stuart Scott is crazy

[@poolside123canadian7]

I miss this show so badly! I just discovered it a few years before Stuart Scott passed. RIP.

[@dowldowling6361]

You are not lying bro. I was glued to this show

[@clevs8]

You can tell they loved the schwab by the star power on this show. Stuart Scott was the face of sportscenter and hosted this show.

[@GymBuddyMike]

So funny to watch the sports ticker. Saw “mark prior left game in 4th inning with ball hitting elbow”. Dude got hurt so much I can watch a random video 20 years later and see him reported injured

[@billrusso6422]

He prob got hurt today too

[@Youngbloodz33]

Jonah Hill frontin as Adam Garfield

[@justinman114]

Mike kinda looks like Dave Foley too lol

[@jessebrowne2163]

literally grew up watching this on espn classic channel 26 man started my sports nerdness

[@MizzzyMike]

“The pontiff of the potato chip” lmaooo I wonder if Stuart Scott came up with that himself

RIP Howie. I consider myself truly fortunate to have worked with you and to call you a friend for a lonnng time

[@the_beef4762]

Man, I miss when ESPN had good shows. It's a joke now, I don't know many people who watch it now a day. It was on 24/7 growing up.

[@isaaccarrillo1207]

This show was elite I miss this era espn

My stepdad and I used to watch this show all the time! Gosh, Howie Schwab is a flipping legend! Go into glory, Mr. Scott, another legend gone before his time.

[@BlackwoodCompany]

I loved this show.

[@eauhomme]

RIP Schwab. You can tell that the time Stuart spent talking about Schwab having the ability to lock out the contestant and rereading the question was what was needed by the Schwab to win (nothing done intentionally, just worked out that way). Schwab was asking Stuart to reread the question when he cut him off and started to explain the game situation, and you see Schwab knock the table when he realized he knew the answer.

[@degenscoobydoo]

Would love to see more! Thanks for uploading.

[@Orca75]

Absolutely love the creepy haunted house synth sound during the end battle

[@bradleyburton2664]

How he didn't know that Mark McGwire question is insane. He hit 49 for Oakland the season he won the award and hit 70 for St. Louis but somehow he knew the Mike Hampton question... I would've guessed Russ Ortiz 🤷‍♂️

[@ielle.]

I was stunned by that too. He knew all these obscure answers I would've never had a shot at yet I knew the Mark McGwire question and found myself repeatedly saying it as he struggled... 16 years after this aired lmao. He was hitting three pointers all game but missed the layup.
