Hit Man was a short-lived NBC daytime game show from early 1983 that blended trivia with strategy. Contestants first watched brief documentary-style film clips, then faced questions drawn from what they'd just seen — rewarding sharp attention and quick recall rather than general knowledge. Players competed across multiple rounds to "eliminate" opponents by claiming spaces on a game board, with the final winner moving on to a bonus game for a cash prize. Hosted by Peter Tomarken, the show ran on weekdays at 11:30 AM Eastern and packed its competition and quiz elements into a brisk half-hour format.
