VH1 and Entertainment Weekly are scouring the country to find 16 three-person teams who think they ve got what it takes to compete in the most intense pop culture trivia tournament to date, THE WORLD SERIES OF POP CULTURE.
The tournament, which will be taped to air on VH1 in late summer 2006, will happen over the weekend of April 28th through the 30th in New York City.
Whether teams consist of friends who gather to watch Lost every Wednesday, or co-workers who spend lunch hours discussing their favorite films, or siblings who grew up addicted to sitcoms, the three members must have extensive knowledge of the films, tv shows, music, and pop culture happenings of the 70s, 80 s and 90 s through today.
Do you think you and your cohorts have got the pop culture smarts to beat out the competition? Then come meet us in person and prove it!
