The Fourth and Final Season
In the summer of 2006, auditions for the fourth and final season of Stump The Schwab took place in eight U.S. Cities including Boston, St. Louis, Los Angeles, and Baltimore.
Beginning with the fourth and final season premiere on September 4, 2006, Stump The Schwab original episodes debuted on ESPN Classic.
"The Schwab" was informed ahead of time what topics were going to be asked during the "Schwab Showdown" round in each episode. However, he did not know what the individual questions were.
In the championship episode, contestant Marty Asalone scored entirely perfectly in Round 2, playing "Remember When." He then went on to lose to "The Schwab" in the "Schwab Showdown."
Also, for only the second time in the show's 4 year history, a contestant "stumped the Schwab" twice. Brian Sandalow, then a University of Missouri journalism student, beat "The Schwab" in both the preliminary and semifinal shows. He did not get a chance to beat "The Schwab" a third time, failing in the championship show's "Leading Off" round.

Famous quotes containing the words fourth, final and/or season:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“For I had expected always
Some brightness to hold in trust,
Some final innocence
To save from dust;”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“If woman is inconstant,
good, I am faithful to
ebb and flow, I fall
in season and now
is a time of ripening.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
