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.

“All night I’ve held your hand,
as if you had
a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
and dragged me home alive. . . .”

“Methoughts a legion of foul fiends
Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
