It's Worth What? is a primetime game show that aired on NBC in 2011, hosted by the comedian Cedric the Entertainer. The show features antiques and collectibles that members of the public have brought in to be appraised by expert appraisers. Contestants then have to guess the value of the items for a chance to win big prizes.

Each episode begins with Cedric introducing the expert appraisers, who are all well-known in their respective fields such as art, collectibles, and history. The contestants are then introduced, and it's revealed that they have no expertise in appraising antiques or collectibles, which makes for entertaining television as they try to guess the value of the items.

The show is split into different rounds, with the first round being "What's It Worth?" In this round, contestants are shown an item and have to guess its value within a particular range. The range gets smaller with each question, which makes it harder to guess the correct answer. The contestant with the most points at the end of this round moves on to the next round.

The second round is called "What's it Worth Plus?" and this round ups the stakes. Contestants are given an item and have to guess the value within a much narrower range. They also have the option to double their points if they get the answer correct.

The third round, "What's it Worth to You?" is the final round, where contestants have to wager their points on how accurately they can answer a tough question about an item that's presented to them. For example, they may be shown a rare piece of artwork and be asked to correctly identify the artist or the year it was created. If they wager and get the answer correct, their bet is doubled, which can make for some high-stakes drama.

Throughout the show, Cedric provides humorous commentary, making jokes and interacting with the contestants to keep the energy high. Celebrity guest appearances from stars such as Magic Johnson and Penn and Teller also add to the entertainment value.

One of the unique aspects of It's Worth What? is the range of items that are featured on the show. While some items are classic antiques, such as a signed copy of the Declaration of Independence or a painting by Picasso, others are more obscure, like a life-sized statue of an astronaut or a rare Hank Aaron baseball card.

The show also highlights the stories behind the objects, with many items having unique and fascinating histories. For example, one episode featured a piece of jewelry that had been passed down through generations of a family and was worth over $100,000.

Overall, It's Worth What? is an entertaining game show that combines the excitement of high-stakes guessing games with the intrigue of antiques and collectibles. Cedric the Entertainer is an engaging and humorous host, and the expert appraisers are knowledgeable and informative. It's a fun and exciting show that's perfect for anyone who loves a good guessing game or has an interest in antiques and collectibles.
