Debt is an American game show hosted by Wink Martindale which aired on Lifetime from June 3, 1996, to August 14, 1998. It was produced by Buena Vista Television, a part of The Walt Disney Company. The show featured contestants who were trying to earn money to get out of debt. It had a similar format to Jeopardy!, on which contestants answered trivia, which eventually drew a legal challenge from that show's producers and forced changes to the format. However, it targeted a younger audience and placed a larger emphasis on popular culture.
