Estrella TV Launches Game Show ‘Tumba Burros’

Spanish-language Estrella TV Network is premiering its newest game show, Tumba Burros, tonight, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m. ET.

Hosted by comedians Carlos Eduardo Rico and Alma Cero, Tumba Burros (loosely translated as Tipping Dunces) is Estrella TV’s newest high stakes, fast-paced game show inspired by a popular Don Cheto Radio Show trivia contest.

Tumba Burros takes the internationally popular Rico and Cero to Hispanic homes on a quest to give away thousands of dollars by having participants answer questions of increasing difficulty. The show literally takes a game show studio into viewers’ homes and gives that family a chance to win more than $10,000 right on the spot.

Trivia questions reveal fun and entertaining facts, while family interaction (children, grandparents, in-laws and neighbors) is designed to make the show appeal to the entire family. When the questions get harder, the contestants can look for help from a neighbor or opt for the multiple choice answers in their all-out effort to get to the next level.
