Catch 21 is an American game show broadcast by Game Show Network (GSN). Created by Merrill Heatter (who also produced the show's predecessor Gambit), the series follows three contestants as they play a card game centered on blackjack and trivia. The show is based on a popular online game from GSN's website and aired for four seasons from 2008 to 2011. It was hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, with actress Mikki Padilla serving as card dealer. The show was revived on October 14, 2019, and concluded on January 21, 2020, with Ribeiro returning as host and Witney Carson as card dealer. Catch 21 received favorable critical reception for its format.
