A man of considerable intellect, Stein starred in his own gameshow, ''Win Ben Stein's Money'' which would culminate in Stein taking on the winning contestant in a ten question round to see who could answer more of the questions correctly. Most of the time Stein would emerge victorious.

Stein once said "''Nixon was a peacemaker. He was a lying, conniving, covering-up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving drug addict like [[JFK]], a lying, conniving war-starter like [[LBJ]], a lying, conniving seducer like [[Bill Clinton|Clinton]]—a lying, conniving peacemaker.''"

Stein has a movie (''[[Expelled]]'') due out in February 2008 in which he exposes how "Big Science" is suppressing [[Intelligent design]].
