SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 18 -- GSN's stable of hosts for its late night participation TV programming block, PLAYMANIA, has grown and now includes Shandi Finnessey, Jessica York, Jeff Thisted and Angelle Tymon. "100 Winners" and "quiznation" can be seen Tuesday through Sundays from 12:00 to 2:00 AM, ET.

"quiznation" features a variety of letter, number and word games; trivia games and more for viewers to call in with their answers for cash and prizes.
