The prime time series, set to premiere Sunday, March 2, will feature 10 contestants competing in charitable projects to become the “Biggest Giver.”
“Who wouldn’t want to be a part of a show whose entire premise is what you can do for other people?” said Berkus, who is also a regular on Winfrey’s daytime talk show. “I think it’s fantastic.”
Each challenge will take place in a different city, and contestants will be judged on creativity and effectiveness of their respective projects.
Executive Producer Winfrey will make appearances from time to time and also recruit some of her celebrity friends to visit the show. The winner will receive an undisclosed “major prize” for his or her efforts. (SOURCE)

Wow…how cool this sounds. I read where “The Amazing Race” producers Bert von Munster and Elise Dogneri have joined forces with Oprah for this new show. Cool…very cool and awesome as well. Maybe they will be traveling to other parts of the world for The Big Give too…that would be really cool.
