NBC’s new game show “1 vs 100” will begin its five-week run Friday, Oct. 13, at 9 p.m. (ET), following an original episode of the network’s current game show performer, “Deal or No Deal.”

After its series premiere, “1 vs 100” will air in its regular time slot on Friday at 8 p.m. beginning Oct. 20, leading into the return of drama “Las Vegas” at 9 p.m. As a result, the drama “Crossing Jordan,” which was scheduled to run at 8 p.m. on Friday, will rejoin the NBC schedule later.

NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly made the announcement Wednesday. “The introduction of this new show also allows us the luxury of saving such a proven and versatile series as ‘Crossing Jordan’ for use later in the season,” Mr. Reilly said in a statement.

“1 vs 100” is produced by Endemol USA. Scott St. John is executive producing.
