Hole in the Wall is an American game show that has aired in two versions on American television.
The first version aired on the Fox television network from 2008 to 2009. The show was an adaptation of the Japanese game show 脳カベ (Nōkabe), in which players must contort themselves to fit through cutouts in a large 13 feet (4.0 m) by 7.5 feet (2.3 m) Styrofoam wall moving towards them on a 50 feet (15 m) track. FremantleMedia North America produced the series. Brooke Burns and Fox announcer Mark Thompson were the hosts of this version. This version was pulled three times and was replaced with reruns of different shows; Once with Kitchen Nightmares on October 24, 2008, another time with Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? on January 21, 2009, and the 3rd time with King of the Hill and American Dad! on March 17, 2009. The Fox version was discontinued on March 15, with its cancellation announced in May 2009.
On July 20, 2010, Cartoon Network announced that it picked up the series, now updated for its younger audience. FremantleMedia would return as the show's producers. The series premiered October 6, 2010, with Real World Hawaii cast member Teck Holmes as host. Joining him as the show's lifeguard was model/lifeguard Emily Hedicke. A second cycle debuted in April 2011, and featured a new co-host, lifeguard Aaron Gingrich. On January 19, 2012, the Cartoon Network version of Hole in the Wall aired its last episode.
