Hosts and format

Outta Here! was hosted by Mike Daniels, Kareen Germain, Tiffany Hunter, and Bruce Klassen. While members of the young studio audience would be selected to partake in an assortment of silly and wacky games and trivia challenges, two of the hosts would be selected to each serve as team captains. The two teams [7] would wear sun-caps that were either green or purple in color. The other two hosts who weren't selected to captain would either emcee the show or provide play-by-play for the game competition at Universal Studios Florida. [8]

In-between, Outta Here! also had segments [9] that discussed the latest trends and news pertaining to fashion, music, or movies. Among the guests that were interviewed were New Kids on the Block.

Greg Lee, who was a co-host on Total Panic , [10] the series that Outta Here! immediately succeeded, stayed on as the announcer for Outta Here!. Unlike Total Panic, which aired for three hours [11] on Sunday mornings, Outta Here! aired for 30 minutes [12] on late weekday afternoons.
