HOLIDAY HAMS AND THE SNOWPLOW SWEEPER ARE FEATURED ON ABC'S WINTER "WIPEOUT"

"Winter Wipeout: This Little Piggy Went to Wipeout" - "We've got frost on our Balls! Now do we have your attention?," asks host John Henson. The Holiday Hams make their presence felt when they leave chilly contestants glazed and confused as they're tossed in the air. Players like "The Hockey-Hottie," "Ripped Rhino" and "Mr. Grinch" receive a frosty reception from the Snowplow Sweeper and try to avoid the icy plunge off the Wipeout Ski Lift, as temperatures continue to drop with each arctic blast launched their way. In the end, there will only be three who conquer the snow-laden course on their way to earn a spot in the Winter Wipeout Zone, with the winner taking home $50,000 dollars. Hosted by John Anderson (ESPN's "SportsCenter"), John Henson (E! Entertainment's "Talk Soup") and co-hosted by Jill Wagner, "Wipeout" airs THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (Note: This program will repeat Saturday, February 19 from 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).

Each week, 24 energetic new contestants of all ages, shapes and sizes go head to head through four rounds of demanding but hilarious obstacle courses to win the title of "Wipeout Champion" and the $50,000 grand prize. In the end, only one contestant will be victorious, while everyone else will Wipeout!
