Match Game Returns This Summer; Sitcom Stars on Talk Shows (Week of May 2, 2016)

Alec Baldwin

Match Game, produced by FremantleMedia North America (FMNA), returns to primetime and will be hosted by Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin. Match Game is a panel game show that features two contestants as they attempt to match the answers of six celebrities in a game of fill-in the missing blank. Executive producers include Alec Baldwin and FMNA's Jennifer Mullin. The 10-episode series will air at 10:00pm EDT as part of ABC's "Sunday Fun & Games" block, alongside Celebrity Family Feud, with Steve Harvey, and The 100,000 Pyramid, with Michael Strahan, beginning on Sunday, June 26 from 8:00-11:00pm EDT, on the ABC Television Network. ABC has another game show set to premiere Tuesday, June 14, and it is a revival of the classic series To Tell the Truth, hosted by Anthony Anderson. And if that's not enough game shows for you this summer, the second season of the addicting 500 Questions premieres Thursday, May 26 for 5 nights.
