Cram is an American game show which aired on Game Show Network from January 6 to September 19, 2003. The show featured two teams, each composed of two contestants. For 24 hours before taping, the contestants were sequestered and sleep deprived at a storefront (located at the then named Kodak Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, which is now called the Dolby Theatre). Contestants were then escorted to Raleigh Studios, in Los Angeles, California, where the actual gameplay would commence; with the intent of the contestants staying awake, and "cramming" various material such as trivia questions and jokes, which they would then answer on the show while attempting physical stunts in an attempt to stay awake. Graham Elwood was the show's host, with assistance from Berglind Icey (known on the show simply as "Icey"). Also assisting Elwood were Andrea Hutchman as "Miss Pickwick" and Arturo Gil as "Dr. Damnearkilter". (Gil appeared only on episodes where the Riddle Round involved the table of lemon juice shots.)
