Omaha World Herald, Creighton Law Professor to Appear on New Fox Game Show:

Earlier this year, Victoria Haneman got on a plane and flew to Ireland to participate in a game show.

The Creighton University law professor knew it was a game show. Beyond that, the details were a mystery.

At 9 p.m. the night before filming started, Haneman learned the show was called “The Floor,” hosted by actor Rob Lowe. It will air on Fox starting Jan. 2 at 8 p.m.

“’The Floor’ is a spectacular battle of the brains in which 81 contestants stand on 81 squares on a massive game show floor, competing for a $250,000 grand prize,” Fox said in a press release.

In the show, the contestants have their own topic of expertise like hip-hop, rock stars, slogans, dogs or popular books. Contestants face someone from another square in a quiz duel. The winner of the duel advances, and the loser leaves the game.

In her job as a law professor at Creighton, Haneman’s expertise is everything related to tax and death. In the show, her expertise was tourist hot spots.
