AXS TV GIVES FANS THE CHANCE TO CASH-IN ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF METALLICA, THE ROLLING STONES & MORE IN THE ALL-NEW TRIVIA SERIES “PARKING LOT PAYDAY,” PREMIERING JULY 12 AT 8 P.M. ET

Host Zach Selwyn Visits Concert Parking Lots, Putting Attendees to the Ultimate Test as They Prove How Much They Really Know About the Iconic Acts They’re About to See

LOS ANGELES (June 16, 2022) – AXS TV hits the concert scene this summer to put music fans to the ultimate test in the all-new trivia series Parking Lot Payday – premiering Tuesday, July 12 at 8p.m. ET/5p.m. PT.

Hosted by Zach Selwyn – whose diverse credits include leading roles on acclaimed series such as Around the Horn (ESPN), Attack Of The Show, and America’s Secret Slang, among others – Parking Lot Payday puts a fun and unique spin on the traditional game show experience, as Selwyn and his crew ride into concert parking lots to give attendees the chance to cash-in on their knowledge of their favorite bands. The inaugural season features four 30-minute episodes, putting the spotlight on concertgoers on their way to see heavy metal masterminds Metallica (July 12), rock trailblazers The Rolling Stones (July 19), chart-topping favorites Imagine Dragons (July 26), and rock mainstays Coldplay (Aug. 1).

Select fans will have the opportunity to answer up to 10 multiple-choice questions specifically pertaining to the band performing that night. The first question is worth five dollars, and that amount doubles with each question that follows – resulting in a possible grand total of $2,560 for those lucky contestants who manage to correctly answer all 10 questions. To aid them in their quest, fans will have the option to ask for a hint, text a friend, or search for the answer on their phone for 30 seconds if they get stuck. A contestant can choose to walk away at any point with the money they have won, whether it is merely $5, $80 or the entire pot. Once a fan answers a question incorrectly, they are out of the game and lose all of their earned money.

“Parking Lot Payday is the ultimate concert pre-game, showcasing the incredibly knowledgeable fans that have become as much a part of these legendary band’s history as the chart-topping hits they’ve created,” Zach Selwyn said. “This is a really fun and interactive series that fans of all ages can enjoy. We had a great time putting it together, and we look forward to sharing it with AXS TV’s audience when Parking Lot Payday debuts on July 12.”

“Parking Lot Payday is a true celebration of the fans – their passion for their favorite bands, their impressive knowledge, and their unique personalities that in many ways are a reflection of these artists they love,” said Sarah Weidman, Head of Programming, Development and Multi-Platform Content for AXS TV. “We’re giving the fans the spotlight this summer with this new series. Concert-goers are having the chance to win some cash, and viewers get to play along at home to test their knowledge. Zach had a blast with them and it’s a really fun and light-hearted show; we are confident our viewers are going to enjoy everything we have planned.”

Parking Lot Payday is produced in-house by AXS TV, with Sarah Weidman, Lauren Child and Kim Garner serving as executive producers.

Season Nine of “The Big Interview with Dan Rather” Premieres April 14th on AXS TV

Legendary Journalist Dan Rather Is Making The Ninth Season of the Big Interview A Family Affair

Los Angeles (March 19, 2021) – AXS TV’s popular celebrity profile series The Big Interview With Dan Rather returns for its ninth season, premiering Wednesday, April 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Season nine presents six all-new episodes featuring a diverse slate of artists and entertainers, with a special focus on musical families. Each episode was filmed remotely due to the pandemic, utilizing both Zoom and in-person camera teams, and puts the spotlight on candid conversations with entertainment icons and influencers as they open up about their legendary lives and acclaimed careers.

The season kicks off on April 14 with Hillary Scott of the chart-topping Country band Lady A and her husband, drummer Chris Tyrrell. The couple reflects on their 10-year-relationship (which was the inspiration behind the group’s smash hit “Just A Kiss”), the band’s decision to change their name, and raising their three daughters. Other season nine highlights include hip-hop trailblazer Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz of the influential New York trio Beastie Boys and his wife Kathleen Hanna, frontwoman of Bikini Kill and the punk rock pioneer who helped give life to the Riot Grrrl Movement (Apr. 21); and Creedence Clearwater Revival founder John Fogerty and his children, Shane, Tyler, and Kelsy, who banded together last year to perform CCR favorites and other hits for a new family album Fogerty’s Factory (Apr. 28).

The season continues on May 5 with GRAMMY(R)-winner Jason Isbell – who achieved success both as a member of the Drive-By Truckers and as a solo artist – and his wife Amanda Shires, GRAMMY(R)-winning singer, songwriter and violinist who has collaborated with some of the music industry’s biggest names. Then, Rather welcomes hit-making rap superstar Lil Jon to the show, joined by his son Slade, the highly in-demand DJ who is putting his own spin on the club scene (May 12). Season nine comes to a close with a pair of GRAMMY(R)-winning rockers, as soulful songstress Michelle Branch and her multi-talented husband Patrick Carney, of The Black Keys, sit down to discuss their lives and careers.

“It is a privilege and a pleasure to bring The Big Interview back for a ninth season,” Rather said. “Again this season we’re trying to be the best regularly scheduled interview series on television. Whether we succeed or not the audience will decide. But we’re always trying. Doing this new slate of episodes was particularly interesting to me, as we got to explore the relationships inside musical families – from fathers and children, to husbands and wives. There are differences in generations and genre, but their passion for music and each other is deep, thought-provoking – and yes, sometimes inspiring. I look forward to sharing these intimate sit-downs with our viewers when The Big Interview returns April 14.”

The Big Interview With Dan Rather airs every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET, with additional episodes from previous seasons available across all AXS TV digital platforms.

THE BIG INTERVIEW Season 9 Schedule (Musical Families):

4/14 – Guests: Hillary Scott & Chris Tyrrell
